Wildtail gazed along the three Emerald Pools. The place where the Clan achieved its name. Wildtail is an ordinary warrior of PoolClan. He was on a solo hunt for his own fun. He made his way along the side of the first pool. Small fish darted from his shadow. Wildtail laughed as he didn't consider himself to be a scary tom.

He ducked under a tree and discovered a quail. Wildtail dropped into a crouch and crept forward slowly. He stopped moving a couple mouse-tails away to pounce. His strong legs pushed him into the air and he landed on the quail and quickly ended its life.

Wildtail picked it up and took the long trip back to a little overhang which marked the nursery. He dropped the quail in front of his mate, Paleleaf, who was nursing her newborn kits. Paleleaf looked up and nuzzled Wildtail who stifled a purr of delight.

"Thank you," Paleleaf purred. "Hey," Wildtail mewed. "It's no problem!" Wildtail left the nursery to do his other jobs. He was so busy! Her two kits snuggled together. She had named the little tom, Dustkit, and the tiny she-kit, Plumkit. A large tan tom-cat walked in and said hello and then nuzzled his pregnant mate, Redflower. "Where have you been?" she asked. "I've been busy," the large tom muttered. "Archstar!" she complained. "You almost never see me!" "I'm sorry," Archstar awkwardly muttered and then he left.
