Whispercloud yowled in pain while Mintpaw hurried back to the clan. Sunflame tried to coax his mate but she was in too much pain. Once Mintpaw appears at the entrance of the nursery with a bundle full of herbs Sunflame nods and waits next to Fogstar.

"They'll be alright." Fogstar whispered in the tom's ear "Any kits of yours are born with the strength of a lion. Just like you." Sunflame sends a welcoming smile and cringes at the sound of Whispercloud.

"I hope she's okay." He meows worriedly

"Don't worry." Meadowspot meows "This is normal." Sunflame nods and within a few moments he is trotting towards the nursery. He smiles at his mate and leans down to say hi to his kits.

"Hello my little ones." Then Sunflame burries his nose into his kits' fur.

"Names?" Whispercloud meows sweetly

"I think this one should be named Frostkit." Sunflame meows with a nervous smile towards the medicine cat who is still standing in the nursery. "Her fur is really cold. And it matches her pelt."

"Cold?" Stripetail asks. The dad nods his head while Stripetail presses her ear to Frostkit's back. "I'm so sorry. There's no heartbeat."

"T-that can't be!" Whispercloud wailed

"Come on, Whispercloud. Let's be glad these two are alive. Anything could've happened." Sunflame meows, tears staining his tabby fur

"This one should be Heatkit." Whispercloud whispers, pointing her tail to the second oldest kitten "After you."

"And this one." Sunflame meows, pointing his tail towards the tiny tom "Is Bubblekit."

"I love it." Whispercloud replies and before they know it, they have a whole family.

That night Stripetail shifts awkwardly in her den. She wants to sleep but her body won't give in. Finally she gets up and takes a walk outside of the clan. Yawning all the way, she makes it halfway through the territory. Then a cloud parts from the claw-shaped moon and a shining, sliver, starry cat leaps down.

"Stripetail," she nods "The fragile will become the most important." Stripetail nods a thank you and dashes back towards the camp.

The fragile... She thinks The fragile...
