This is a story I started a long time ago about Purdy's youth, and this is the prologue.
Enjoy!
Prologue
Dewkit, Amberkit, and Snowkit burst out of the nursery excitedly. "Cherrypaw!" Dewkit squeaked, bouncing up to the apprentice, "Teach us a battle move!"
"Please!" Amberkit added, staring up at Cherrypaw with wide, pleading eyes.
Cherrypaw smiled down at the kits. "Fine. I'll teach you…" She hesitated before making up her mind, "The tail yank!"
"Yay!" Snowkit exclaimed brightly.
Cherrypaw explained, "So what you have to do is aim straight for your opponents tail, and then…" She trailed off as she saw Brightheart making her way across the clearing, toward them.
"Are you teaching them another battle move, Cherrypaw?" She asked crossly.
Cherrypaw ducked her head, and exclaimed, "Sorry!" Then, she dashed off to her den.
"Brightheart! She was about to teach us the tail yank!" Dewkit complained.
"I know, but you three are too young to learn battle moves! That can wait for when you're apprentices!" Brightheart responded, before stalking off to a sunny spot and lying down.
Dewkit rolled his eyes, and leaning over to Snowkit, he muttered, "She's no fun."
Snowkit nodded. "Why can't she see that if we ever want to become good warriors, we have to practice our fighting?" He sighed.
Amberkit shrugged, but suddenly brightened, "I know what we can do!" She exclaimed, and her brothers turned to her.
"What?" Snowkit asked.
Amberkit leapt to her paws. "Come on, let's get the elders to tell us a story!"
"Hey Sandstorm!" Dewkit squeaked as he dashed into the elder's den. "Can you tell us a story?"
Sandstorm had just recently became an elder, due to the fact that she finally gave in to being old. Sandstorm yawned, and looked up at the kits. "Sorry kits, I'm trying to sleep. How about you ask Purdy?"
Purdy looked up from where he was eating a mouse, behind Sandstorm. "You know, I reckon I've got a couple o' good stories I could tell you young'uns."
Snowkit exclaimed excitedly, "Yeah! I love your stories, Purdy!"
Purdy laughed. "Okay, gather round kits," Purdy began, "So, I'm going to tell y'all the story of when I was younger. It goes something like this…"
Should I continue, or not? Thanks for reading!
