Authors note: Thank you Bramblelegs and AwynSparrowflight, Cresent of the Night, and Aerafiel. for reviewing after I post up the cats! Even though its only allegiances, it means a lot (: Also, in the Allegiances, I noticed Beechpaw and Oakpaw didn't have mentors, I have fixed that now! Okay I thought over it a lot and changed a few things around, but here is the prologue!

Prologue

"C'mon Nighteyes, only one more push!" Spottedcloud urged, his eyes clouded with nerves as he placed his paw in the queen's belly.

"You've got to be kidding me!" She yowled, hissing under the pain of her contractions, which were going on without mercy, only pausing as another kit was born into Riverclan. Dirtspot came over and nipped the small sack it was encased in open, and licked the kit until it took in a deep breath of air. Placing it by Nighteyes' belly, where one dark brown tabby kit was already ravenously feeding, the light brown tabby kit began to suckle.

"Nighteyes, here come another kit." Spottedcloud warned.

"I will go get Snakefang." Dirtspot mewed, and rushed out of the nursery to get her kin.

Nighteyes yowled again, and closed her eyes as she pushed, and soon a small white kit with odd swirls on his fur was sitting next to his siblings.

"See Nighteyes, not so bad?" Spottedcloud urged, pushing some more herbs towards the queen. Nighteyes ate them up, then made a face at the bitter taste mixed with a sweetness.

Nighteyes sighed. "They're so precious." she purred, licking each of her kits. The white kit gave a small squeal and then continued to drink. Nighteyes curled her tail around them.

"Spottedcloud?"

Spottedcloud turned to Nighteyes, to see her holding the small white she-cat by her scruff.

"Nighteyes! What are you doing?" he gasped, and took the kit and placed it next to Nighteyes' belly again.

"Oh Spottedcloud, I have made a horrible deal. You must hurry!" Nighteyes whispered.

"What do you mean, Nighteyes?" Spottedcloud looked around, Frostfeet had left the nursery when Nighteyes had started kitting. They were alone now.

Nighteyes looked up at him, her eyes showing with worry and regret." You cannot tell anyone, but I have made a deal with a cat outside the clans. I'll explain it all later." she placed her tail on the white she-cat and their eyes connected. "I need you to do me a favor."

When Snakefang walked into the nursery, Spottedcloud was gone, and only two kits were curled by Nighteyes' belly.

A tom and she-cat ran together, giggling and tackling each other every few steps, making the short journey to the Elders den seem very long, especially for the two hyper kits.

"Beechkit! Oakkit! If you're going to listen to Greymist's story you better hurry!" Nighteyes called to her kits from the nursery entrance. Warrior cats eyes turned to the two kits, and smiled, remembering when they were small.

Beechkit laughed and tackled his sister, pinning her down to the floor easily, a early sign of a good fighter. Oakkit squealed, then ran out of her brother's grasp.

"Oh Oakkit, I'm sorry. Don't be afraid!" he mewed, and licked his sister's shoulder comfortingly. Both of them walked peacefully the rest of the way to the giant bush that made up the Elder's den.

Peeking his head in he saw Greymist's silky fur, spotted with white from her getting older. ""Greymist!" he called, and ran in.

"Ugh! Kits again." Crowbeak huffed. "Come back when you are apprentices and get these ticks out of my fur."

"Do not mind Crowbeak." Greymist purred happily, and wrapped Beechkit in her tail. Beechkit turned his head back to see Oakkit still in the entrance.

"Come here Oakkit, Greymist is really nice, don't worry! She's no Tigerstar, she's nice!" he perked up, licking a white paw. He had been told many stories about the evil tabby tom that once living in Thunderclan, and almost took over all of Riverclan.

Oakkit walked slowly forward, and soon ran over tot eh safety of her brother. Finally she mewed, "What story will you tell us?"

Greymist mussed over this, flicking her tail back and forth before her eyes lit up. "This happened not to long before you were born. The time Skystorm defeated the horrible Mystic..."

Authors note: There you guys go! What did Nighteyes do? And why are these two kits suddenly introduced? Well you'll have to wait to find out. (: Review please! (Sorry it was so short!)

Note: For those curious, if you go to my profile, I put a few links of how I pictured Mystic, Sparrowflight, Skystorm, and Dirtspot to look!
