Cloudblaze padded into camp with his patrol and deposited the fish on the fresh-kill pile. Rubystar purred gratefully. "You're a wonderful hunter, Siren," she praised.

Silkflower was rewarded with two tiny kits, a tom and a she-cat. "What will you name them?" Rubystar asked kindly. "They're beautiful," she added.
Sturgeonclaw sighed with relief, grateful that his mate's sister made it through in her weak state.
Silkflower lifted her tail and tapped the tawny and white tabby she-cat on the head. "Olivekit," she decided. The second kit, a black tom with white stripes, was dubbed "Stormkit."
