It was a casual day in the camp lead by Beestar. This particular day, three curious kits bounced around camp looking for their leader. Happykit, a yellow, black, and white shecat with brown eyes, the daughter of Beestar and Soulsong, lead to the other two kits to the entrance of a big mossy den.

"My dad stays in here!" Happykit exclaimed beforinng leading the two brown kits, who had been saved by Zera down into her father's den. The two were known as Fawnkit and Stagkit. The three kits giggled, finding the yellow, gold, black, and white leader asleep. He was storing lightly, obviously tired from a long day.

"Dad! Dad! Wake up! We want to hear a story and Cindersnow says her kits have to sleep and so does she!" Happykit purred, jumping onto her dad's fluffy pelt. The yellow tabby laughed and moved to where he was laying on his side, looking at the kits.

"What if I wanted sleep?" Beestar laughed.

"You tell the best stories though!" Happykit whined, and the other two nodded vigorously.

"Oh, ok. I can't say no to your little face." Beestar ran his tail lovingly over Happykit's pelt, who squealed with joy.

"Yay!" All three kits cheered, jumping around in a circle.

"Which story do you lot want to hear?" Beestar asked with a yawn and a small stretch.

"I want to hear about the first war, that's the best!" Stagkit pipped.

"No, let's hear the one about the lost warrior! That one's way better." Fawnkit shoved her brother to the ground.

"But the war is action filled and exciting!" Stagkit persisted.

"The lost warrior has action!" Fawnkit protested. Happykit stepped between the two.

"You both are missing the best story! I want to hear the story of dad's grandma, Salmonnose and Blazingbranch! Dad always said his dad Blazingbranch told him to story over and over, making sure he'd never forget it! You two have never heard that one!" Happykit turned to her father, looking for approval. Beestar smiles and chuckled.

"Good choice, my dad would be proud." He moved into a sitting position, and the three kits gathered around her eagerly," All right, I'll tell you to story of the most lost and broken cat, and how she came back from all the hurt to become a legend that will never be forgotten. I'll tell you the story of a cat tkaen, lied to, and how he found his way home. This is the story of Salmonnose and my father, Blazingbranch."
