“What are you doing in here?” Cinnamonskip growled at the little kits in her den.
“We wanted to see the eagle feather you have. None of us had seen one before.” The kits apologized and Cinnamonskip sighed.
“Next time just ask. I don’t like people being near it when I’m not here. It’s very important to me.” She moved into the den and tugged the feather from its normal resting place. She held it for the kits to view and watched their eyes grow wide.
A chorus of exclamations filled the cave and then a voice called, “where did you get it?”
Cinnamonskip put the feather back gingerly and then resumed sitting before the kits, “Did any of you hear of my mother? Applefeather? When she was just an apprentice, she and her mentor ran into an eagle while on patrol. It was was attacking her mentor, but she tried her very best to fight off the eagle, gaining her a few scars and the feather. Once the eagle had fled, no longer interested in the pair of cats, Applefeather dragged her mentor all the way back to the clan. The clan leader gifted her the feather as a sign of her bravery. She wore it proudly in her fur until she passed it down to me.”
Cinnamonskip smiles fondly at the memory. She smiled, “hopefully one day I will be able to put it in my fur as a mark of my bravery.”
The kits continued to listen to her eagerly and Cinnamonskip chuckled softly, “come now, your mothers must be worried.”
She nudged the kits out of the den and paused a moment, looking back at the feather. One day she’d wear it in her fur just like her mother, but not yet.
