Prologue
The night was cold and dark; moonless. Her eyes strained to stay open, as it was terribly late. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she sensed the presence of another cat close by her, but she said nothing, keeping her jaw clenched shut tightly. She inclined her chin, looking up into the deep gaze of another she-cat, whose pelt was shadowed as she stood just within the nursery. She could feel the small, warm body of her kitten, Dovekit, and hoped that the newcomer would not disturb her sleeping.
The shadowed cat set down two kittens who squirmed somewhat in her jaws. They were small, scrawny, but they were strong, their breathing well off. The figure's voice was nearly a whisper of the wind as she murmured, "I found these two kittens by the river, Lightheart. I believe they are yours."
Lightheart glanced over the two kits at her brown paws, bending forward and picking each by the scruff of the neck, setting them down at her side, beside Dovekit. "Thank you," she replied softly once they were in place. "I will watch them better from now on." She paused, her ears turning forward, as the sound of a restless warrior met her. The pale gray queen was silent for a long moment, looking over her shoulder at the sleeping form of Nightclaw, her friend and denmate.
Lightheart curled her tail around the kittens and looked up to say something more to the figure, but she was gone. There wasn't hardly a trace that she had ever been there, and Lightheart closed her jaws, turning her green gaze on the three kits tucked at her side. "My kits," she murmured, resting her head gently down on her paws. Sleepiness began to overtake her as she added, "My strong, brave little warriors… Darkkit, Pheasantkit, and Dovekit…"
