Dragonfeather leaped through the forest, his paws aching. He growled to himself and pushed forward, ripping raspberry leaves from a bush and bounding to Sunsky, who lay at the border, where she was kitting. He passed her the herbs, which she gulped down quickly, before gripping the stick he had given her before. It splintered as she gave birth. "Look away, my dear." She managed. Dragonfeather glanced to the nearby tree, a worried gaze visibly split across his face. But soon enough, Sunsky told him to look back, and beside her lay five beautiful kits. One was a brown tabby she-kit with white paws and a white underbelly. Another was a golden brown she-kit, the other a jet black tom, another a tortoiseshell tom. And the last, a gray tabby tom with a white chest and paws. "What shall we name them?" Dragonfeather asked. Sunsky glanced to the brown and white tabby she-kit. "I was thinking Briarkit?" She asked. "And, Brackenkit for the golden brown she-kit."

Dragonfeather nodded. "And Ripplekit for the gray and white tabby tom. I like the name Sharpkit for the tortoiseshell tom, and Thistlekit for the jet black tom."

"Take good care of them, Dragonfeather." Sunsky murmured. "I should be leaving now."


Dragonfeather entered Camp with his kits and left straight to the Nursery and to the she-cat who had promised to take them in, Spottedfur. She greeted them with a smile and groomed their pelts as Dragonfeather introduced each one by one.

Shadowstar watched, before turning away to her kits. She watched them with patient eyes, as they chatted together happily. She finally leaped onto JaggedPeak. "All cats old enough to see in the dark, gather under JaggedPeak for a Clan meeting."

Once the Clan had gathered, Shadowstar began. "Eight kits have reached their sixth moon, Blackkit please step up."

Blackkit stepped up.

"Blackkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Blackpaw. Your mentor will be Silverstorm. I hope Silverstorm will pass down all he knows on to you."

Silverstorm bounded over and touched noses with Blackpaw. "Cloudkit, please step up." Shadowstar meowed. Cloudkit stepped up. "Cloudkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be Cloudpaw. Your mentor will be Hawkshade. Silentkit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be Silentpaw. Your mentor will be Mistfall. Mintkit, from now till your warrior name you will be Mintpaw, your mentor will be Whitestrike. Creekkit, from now till your warrior name you will be Creekpaw, your mentor will be Blackfur. Ravenkit, from now till your warrior name you will be Ravenpaw, your mentor will be Moonleaf. Jaykit, from now till your warrior name you will be Jaypaw, your mentor will be Rainstorm. Aspenkit, from now till your warrior name you will be Aspenpaw, your mentor will be Darkfire." Shadowstar finished. The warriors and apprentices touched noses and they set off to show each other around the Clan territory.


Not a long chapter today. I haven't been getting many reviews lately, and I run on reviews, it's my fuel! No reviews, no story!

I still need to know, should a RP forum be made for the story? I think it'll be pretty fun, no?
