Chapter 1: Ripplekit's Beginning

Ripplekit opens his light blue eyes for the first time. The nursery was warm, and his brother cuddled next to him, his tiny paws feeling the soft moss beneath him. "Oh my stars, look at him!" one queen whispered to Ripplekit's mother, Riverstream. "His fur is like the sky after a storm!" "And his markings," another added. "What in the Starclan are those? I've never seen anything like that." Ripplekit was busy looking at the nursery entrance, where the sky peeked through the reeds. The stars just seemed to be calling him. He sat outside the nursery where the water flowing outside seemed to make him feel calm. "Ripplekit, are you gonna be a mouse brain, or come and play?" says Branchpaw. "Now, now Branchpaw, your brother has just been born, he needs his rest." Says Riverstream. "Ok…" Branchpaw says. Riverstream comes and grooms Ripplekit. "How is the new kit doing?" Mossstar says. "He's good, but sometimes I forget how tiring a new kit can be," says Riverstream. "Well, when you're too tired I can look after the young one old friend," says Mossstar. Ripplekit stumbles over to Mossstar and lays next to her. "I have a feeling about this kit," she looks at him, "He's gonna be special. I know it!" says Mossstar.
