New Life Rises, Despite the Dying Flowers [OPEN]

Foxspirit was tired. Giving birth had been a lot harder than she expected, and she had expected something hard. Aspenheart had been a good helper, giving her helpful herbs and a stick to bite on when things got even more painful then they already were.  She wished that Swiftsep had been there, but he had been scared that he would get the kits sick with whatever he had. As she looked down at her three kits, she new that it had all been worth it. Foxspirit smiled warmly down at their tiny bodies, chests rising and falling as they slept by her side. Was this how Necterleap had felt? No wonder he had wanted to adopt her and her siblings after her mother had died. They were so tiny. Had she relay been that small once? As the morning sun began to shine into the nursery, Foxspirit nudged her tiny kits. "Time to get up, little ones. The sun has risen, so it is time for us to as well."

Spotkit let out a mew when Foxsprit nudged her awake. Spotkit felt her eyes open. Imeadtly Spotkit saw a ginger she-cat that smelled of milk. It was Foxsprit looking down at her. Spotkif stumbled on her paws. They were so unsteady. But soon enough Spotkit's legs were stable.

Crowkit bounded over from the other side of the nursery, eager to meet his new denmates. “Foxspirit? Can I see them now?” The young tom smiled, bushy little tail flicking as he looked down on the three kits, so small. Had he been that little when he was born? Probably. The young tom took everything he met in stride, with great curiosity and a lack of fear, as, unlike many of the cats around him, he hadn’t yet known grief, loss, or failure.

When a older kit ran over to see them Spotkit let out a sqeak of surprise. The kit was big but then again Foxspirit was much bigger then the strange kit. But still.This was a new cat. One that Spotkit had never seen before. Spotkit huddled up close to Foxspirit and her litter mates.

Blazekit was a very deep sleeper, and so woke up much later than her littermates. The bright sunbeams shining through the mouth of the den did next to nothing to stir her in her slumber. The sound of her littermates waking up and beginning to move about resulted in only a small twitch from Blazekit. It was only Crowkit's arrival and Spotkit's startled reaction that finally forced the lean she-kit to prise open her sleepy eyelids and wake up. With a stretch, she slowly stood up and eyed the den with still blurry sleep vision. 'Mama, who's that?' she said aside to her resting mother, inclining her long tail towards the newcomer.
