67 Moons Ago...

Darkkit was a young kit at the time, only two moons old.

This would be his first time outside of the nursery.

As he stumbled out of the nursery, after his mother stopped explaining things to him and cleaning him, he immediately squeezed his eyes shut form the bright sunlight.

Finally opening his eyes, his eyes adujsted to the sunlight.

Glad the light wasn't blinding anymore, his bounced around the camp, before running into another cat.

"Ah!" The cat he ran into yelped.

"S-sorry!"Darkkit mewed, before looking up and realizing he ran into Cinderkit, a three moon old she-kit.

Looking back at Darkkit, Cinderkit smiled and let out a small laugh, before saying, "It's okay, don't worry about it, Say, You're Darkkit right?"

"Y-yeah," Darkkit mewed, stuttering slightly.

"Well, Nice to meet you Darkkit, I'm Cinderkit, would you like me too show you around?"

"W-would you really? Thanks!" Darkkit mewed

63 Moons Ago...

Today was the day, Darkkit would finally become an apprentice.

The last moon seemed like forever, since Cinderkit-Now Cinderpaw, became an apprentice, and moved into the apprentices den.

Darkkit leapt up from his sitting place at the entrance of the nursery when he heard the leader of the clan, Goldenstar, call a clan meeting.

Darkkit raced to the High Stump, completely ignoring everything in the ceremony, doing what he had to do and saying what he had to say, finally becoming an apprentie and getting apprenticed to Jayfeather.

57 Moons Ago...

Darkpaw was now twelve moons old, having been friends with Cinderleaf for all these moons, he had begun to realize that he had feelings for her.

But, now was not the time to worry about it, as it was his warrior ceremony.

Done cleaning his pelt, he got up and left the apprentices den as Goldenstar called a meeting.

Walking to the High Stump, he sat next to two other apprentices, named Fallenpaw, and Cloudpaw.

He watched the ceremony begin, and watched Fallenpaw become Fallenheart, and Cloudpaw become Cloudfur.

Looking up to Goldenstar, he completed his part of the ceremony, and got the name Darksky.

"Fallenheart! Cloudfur! Darksky! Fallenheart! Cloudfur! Darksky!"

"Congratulations Darksky!" Cinderleaf meowed, excited for her friend.

"Haha, Thanks Cinderleaf!" Darksky meowed, before agreeing to share a squirrel with her before his vigil.

52 Moons Ago...

Darksky was now seventeen moons old, he and Cinderleaf had grown a lot closer since his warrior ceremony.

One day, he decided to finally ask her to be his mate.

Looking around the camp, he spotted Cinderleaf watching some of the kits play.

Walking over to her, he meowed, "Hey Cinderleaf, Do you want to go hunting with me?"

"Sure," Cinderleaf meowed, before getting up and stretching, then following Darksky out of camp, and into the forest.

Finally stopping, Darksky turned around, and asked, "Cinderleaf, will you be my mate?"

Cinderleaf's face appeared shocked, as she heard him say those words.

"O-of course I will you mousebrain!" Cinderleaf meowed, batting at him lightly.

48 Moons Ago...

Darksky was now twenty-one moons old, he and Cinderleaf had been mates for a couple moons now.

He was currently pacing outside of the medicine cat den, worried since Cinderleaf hadn't been feeling well recently.

Eventually, the medicine cat, Brindlepetal, came out of the medicine cat den, with Cinderleaf following, before turning around, and re-entering the den.

"So Cinderleaf, Whats Wrong?" Darksky meowed, worried.

"Nothings wrong," Cinderleaf meowed, "You're going to be a father!"

"Wait, I-i'm going to be a father?!" Darksky meowed, shocked.

"Haha, Yep, they should be due in two-three moons"

45 Moons Ago...

Darksky paced outside of the nursery, he was now twenty-four moons old, and Cinderleaf was having her kits.

The Medicine cat apprentice, Dustpaw, watched Darksky pace back and forth.

Finally the medicine cat, Brindlepetal, walked out and meowed, " You have two she-kits and a tom"

Racing into the nursery, he went over to Cinderleaf, and looked at the three small bundles of fur, that were his kits.

Cinderleaf pointed her tail to the tom and meowed, "I was thinking we should name him Ashkit"

"Thats a wonderful name, Brightkit would be a good name for the smaller one that looks like you," Darksky meowed, pointing to one of the she-kits

"Mhm, thats a nice name, The other she-kit can be named Flickerkit," Cinderleaf meowed, pointing to the other, slightly larger she-kit.

"Welcome to Nightclan, Ashkit, Brightkit, and Flickerkit"

39 Moons Ago...

Darksky had reached the age of thirty moons old, and today was the day his kits would be apprenticed.

Ashkit was a loud and confident, but also loyal and brave.

Brightkit was quiet and intelligent, Darksky thought she would be a great leader one day.

Flickerkit was kind, caring, and quick, one day she would be a good hunter and maybe even mother.

He heard Goldenstar call for a meeting, watching his kits race away from their mother, Cinderleaf, and to the High Stump.

Cinderleaf smiled and walked over to him, watching as their three kits became apprentices.

37 Moons Ago...

Darksky was thirty-two moons old, and today was one of the saddest day of his life.

Today was the day his mate died.

There had been a disease going around, leaving cats sick and dying, Cinderleaf would be one of the six cats in the clan who fell due to the illness.

He watched as they carried her body out of camp, his kits surrounding him.

Now...

Darksky lay in the medicine cats den, he could hear his kits, Ashheart, Flickerlight, and Brightflash, around him, crying.

He looked back on his life, remembering how after Cinderleaf died, he got an apprentice, became deputy, and eventually had to move to the elders den due to blindness.

Then, he saw her, Cinderleaf, stars in her pelt.

"Come on mousebrain!" Cinderleaf meowed, bounding away, Darksky getting up and following, leaving his body behind.
