The silvery moonlight raidiated down onto the snow-covered marsh as a young, russet colored tom padded across the white landscape. Russetpaw, as he was just recently named, was exploring the territory during the early hours of the night, like a proper Shadowclan cat. His russet fur had darkened since his kithood, and the stripe running down his back had become more visible and blacker. Instead of his pelt being short and fuzzy, it was now a bit longer and sleek. Russetpaw's eyes, which had been green as a kit, were now their permanent amber color. He was sure handsome, with a slender body and a reddish-brown coat which blended in well with the darkness.
The tom came to an old, dead tree with crooked branches that scraped upward toward the starry sky. Deciding to take a break, plus the fact thay he was lost, Russetpaw leaped up into the tree, clawing and kicking until he had dragged himself safley up onto a branch. It hadn't been the most graceful thing in the world, but at least he had gotten into the tree. With a sigh, Russetpaw looked out over the silent marshland, watching for anyone who might happen to pass by.
