Rainkit wiggled, ignoring mother and new friend. Family weld be so proud when he caught this little bug! He would be made an apprentice right then and there.
The calico kept l keeping forward, just missing the blinking fly, not seeing how close to a small stream he was. The stars glittered overhead, the moon heavy, casting silver light on everything, water tumbling over smooth stone in a bubbling scream. Frogs sung, and a large figure readjusted itself, sleeping in the dry grass.

Rainkit could hardly scream before the bird grabbed him in its beak, killing the small kit.
The stars above them seemed to shine brighter, illuminating the haron as it flew away, Rainkit's limp form in its great beak.
