With the excitement of the Gathering behind them, Shiningsoul and Raventail returned home to find Snowtuft in a flurry over her upcoming kitting. The other two she-cats then moved into overdrive, preparing the den, cleaning out her nest, and doing one last check of the territory to make sure that the borders were secure before new kittens came into the clan. They'd actually found a cat, a multicolored tomcat calling himself Flame. In a hurried ceremony he'd been named Flameriver, before Shiningsoul had shooed him out of the camp to hunt and patrol while Snowtuft kitted. The tension in camp was heavy, especially without a mage to guard over Snowtuft's kitting. Shiningsoul paced around the camp several times, before putting Raventail in charge and heading off for the Dusk Lake to ask the ancestors properly for a healer.
Shiningsoul had noticed a bit of extra tension laying in the fact that Flameriver was the first tom to arrive in the clan, and with two she-cats high on hormones, it probably wasn’t the best idea to leave him alone with the two, but she didn’t have much of a choice, she had to get a mage for Snowtuft. And for later on, but primarily for the kittings. Shiningsoul was basically still a kit herself, only nineteen moons for starclans sake, once cadets moved on they’d only just now be mating with their chosen partners. What was she to know about this sort of thing?
snowtuft gave birth to four healthy kits and a stillborn. starclan sends a mage! shiningsoul found a lone kit on patrol. flameriver caught a lizard and a mouse.
