Prologue:
Yarrowfoot shoved his way into the nursery, his mouth full of herbs. Quickly she dropped them next to the kitting queen, Littlefire, who was currently trying to stay conscious. Outside did Bramblescar pace, the highly respected warrior stressed. This would be Littlefire's third litter, however her past two never had a kit survived.
After a while, much to Yarrowfoot and the rest of the clan's surprise, Littlefire managed to give birth to, two healthy kits. One she-cat and one tom. As he collected leftover herbs and checked over the kits and Littlefire again did Bramblescar and Littlefire name their kits.
"What should we name our daughter?" Bramblescar purred, looking down at his kits with pride. Littlefire thought about for a moment.
"How about Maplekit? After that single maple tree that grows at the top of Scorched Hill." Littlefire mewed with a soft smile.
"Maplekit? That sounds like an Earthclanner name, but okay, sure that'll be our daughter's name. And how about Cactuskit for our son?" Bramblescar replied, a bit hesitant about their daughter's name.
Yarrowfoot could understand why. Bramblescar hadn't always been Bramblescar, he was Earthclan borne and once had the name Forestheart but left the clan when he fell in love with Littlefire. He even changed his name completely to one of a Fireclan cat. It took him a very long time to prove his loyalty, and he gained it by saving Sunflare (Emberstar's mate) during a flood. And giving his kit a name akin to one that sounds like a name from his home clan could have his loyalty questioned.
"I don't mind, that name sounds perfect." Littlefire purred as she wrapped her tail around their kits.
Yarrowfoot left the nursery and down the slope towards the Medicine cat den as he did so he glanced up. The herbs fell from his mouth as he stared horrified at the star filled sky. The moon was blocked out by bats as a voice whispered in his head.
"Oh why, oh why, would the seed of hope be drawn away from the flame? Towards the water by the rain. Oh why, would the seed want to leave?"
Yarrowfoot shook his head roughly and quickly made his way to the den and placed away the herbs. He stole a glance outside to see the bats gone and sighed. The last prophecy given to Yarrowfoot was when he was still an apprentice and that prophecy foretold the murder of the former leader Desertstar and the former deputy Smokerunner. The killer was never found and the incident left Fireclan in ruin until they elected Emberstar (then Emberclaw) as the new leader.
But a prophecy on the same night a litter was born? It had to mean that one of those kits was in it. All there was to do now was wait.
