Oh yes and I changed the Medicine Cats design; he's now a black tom with a silver streak running form the top of his head, down his back, and to the tip of his tail ^^ so yeah ;3 He looks way cooler now.

A golden speckled she-cat with spots and stripes scattered across her pelt sat in a small den with a pale brown tabby with white stripes and green eyes. She sat with two little kittens curled towards her stomach, mewling pitifully. One was white with pale golden splashes all over her and pale blue eyes. The other one was a chocolate brown she-cat with unusually mesmerizing blue eyes and a speckled back.

While the mother sat licking her two kits, a tom walked into the nursery with a gruff nod. He took his attention back to the other queen and let out a soft purr. The tom had a soft spot for the queen; but that was to be expected because they were mates and those were his children. A small brown tom with a white bottom jaw jumped onto the the gruff looking tom with a meow of happiness while the brown and white she-cat with some stripes and green eyes hesitated when she walked up to her father.

As the golden speckled queen observed the family reunion you could she the disappointment in her eyes of her mate not checking in on her. But it wasn't his fault.

They had gone out on a patrol searching for a badger that had made its nest dangerously close to camp. Earthpelt had been on the patrol for tracking it and killing it and had been hurt when another badger had come up behind Earthpelt and nearly crushed him. He was currently being treated for a broken rib and paw with bruises and scratches. But the queen felt hope for her mate to recover because Silverstreak was an excellent medicine cat.

As she turned her thoughts back to her kits she thought how cute and adorable they were. She loved them so much; and she feared for them and others. You see; leaf bare wasn't far away in the distance and already only a short amount of prey could be caught each day to keep the cats from starving.

The queen looked at her messy dull coat that had once been a bright golden color; which had given her her name, Goldenrod. Goldenrod, she thought, this name suits me still. She thought about her kits, Brightkit and Briarkit. Perhaps Brightsplash for Brightkit and…Briarlight…but she thought this name didn't suit her well. The queen kept on thinking. "No…Briarkit…you will be Briarheart." she whispered for even she could tell this kit cared so much for everything from the smallest leaf to the biggest twoleg. She thought everyone deserved a chance.

A grey she-cat with white paws and a white chest going from there to her stomach to the bottom of her tail with what seemed like glowing yellow eyes paced inside her den, obviously agitated. A black tom with a silver streak from his head going to his tail with fiery green eyes sat quietly with his tail neatly curled around him.

"Stonestar; there is no need to get upset. Starclan has told me they will be sending a sign to her any day now. Surely there is no reason to whine. Starclan have spoken there wish. I have talked to Yellowfang- a cat from the old clans. She and another silver grey tabby have spoke to me. Warned me about the prophecy. We will guide her on the right path; for her heart is to big for any cat to train her to hate." The medicine cat known has Silverstreak replied calmly.

Stonestar's eyes flared. "You tell me to sit back like a little kit and perhaps watch the clans fall apart for the second time" The leader meowed loudly with anger.

Silverstreak shook his head. "No Stonestar. I wish for you to sit back and wait and see what she does when she is given the choice. In the mean time we must slowly place her paws on the right path."

The leader seemed to calm for she started to speak again more softly. "Silverstreak, my loyal medicine cat, I fear I will join Starclan soon."

"How many lives Stonestar? How many lives do you have to spare?" Silverstreak demanded. He had been trying to find out for the last moon and a half but Starclan refused to tell him; which had angered him.

Stonestar stepped forward with pain in her eyes. "I-"

"You must tell me!" He exclaimed. She dropped her eyes to the floor. "Now; Stonestar. You must tell me now."

"None."
