Prologue
Goldenkit watched from the safety of her mother's paws as Dawncloud kitted. She yowled and yowled as a spasm went through her. The medicine cat, Lakeheart, soothed Dawncloud, feeding her herbs, while Dawncloud's mate, Leapordjump, paced in the entrance to the nursery, glancing toward his mate every now and then.
The next morning Goldenkit woke from a rustling. She saw Leapordjump just returning to curl up next to his mate. Pepperstar called the Clan and Leapordjump stood up, sighing and padding outside. Then one word could be heard outside.
"CrystalClan!"
