| Nectarflower Gender: Female Rank: T3 Warrior
Tucked away beneath a gorse wall, Nectarflower runs her tongue gently over the delicate bodies of her kits. In the days leading up to her kitting, she had dug a shallow dip in the ground and lined it with soft moss and heather. The nearby gorse wall provided protection from the wind and there she lay, snuggled safely between the gorse wall and the low-hanging branches of a hawthorn tree. She had gathered some nearby flowers just a day prior and scattered their petals around her nest to brighten the place up. These petals ranged anywhere from white to yellow to pink, but there wasn't a single red petal within eyesight.
Purring, Nectarflower pulled the litter close to her belly and nuzzled each kit in turn, her pale green eyes shining with love. Though her heart ached for all she had lost, the tortoiseshell warrior was eased by the four tiny bundles at her side. She wished that Weaselfoot could be here to see their beautiful kits, but he was undoubtedly watching them from Starclan. Her birth had, thankfully, been much easier than Ferntwist's, who had eventually died after her own kitting.
Weaselfoot, Ferntwist, Rosepaw...it seemed as though every cat she grew close to was destined to die. Not Sootstorm, though. Her former mentor was as strong as ever and she knew that he would remain by her side for many seasons to come. These kits too would not know fear or pain like she did - not if she could help it. She would raise them well and they would know love, safety, and warmth. They would become apprentices in six moons and, eventually grow into fine warriors.
It was easy to want to give up, but she couldn't - not with these precious lives to take care of and nurture. Quickpaw, her apprentice, still needed her. She was growing closer with her clanmates with every day and, hopefully, life would begin to feel normal. She would always miss the cats she had lost, but there was more to life than death. There was also the joy of new kits and the feeling of the wind in her fur. The smell of flowers and moor and the comfort of those who were still here.
Nectarflower curled her body protectively around the four tiny she-kits. Little Finchkit, who looked so like her father. Mosskit, a sweet-looking tortoiseshell she-kit. Eveningkit, who looked most similar to herself. And lastly, Weaselkit, a small, mostly black kit that she had decided to name in honor of Weaselfoot. They were perfect - perhaps the most wonderful kits she had ever seen.

| Little Eveningkit was content - she didn't know much other than she was warm and safe as she wiggled closer to the biggest source of warmth she could sense, that being her mother. She didn't know that her family would never fully be complete, with her father being gone...Of how cold and cruel the world could be outside of their den. No, for now all she knew was the safety that was her mother and she couldn't want for anything more in the moment.
...Well, maybe some milk but for now she would be content with snuggles. ______________________________________ Acornstar ♀ ~ Badgermask ♀ ~ Creamsky ♂ ~ Duckfeather ⚧ ~ Eveningmoon ♀ ~ Flurryshade ♂ (Not pictured) TC T5 Leader (70/200) ~ SC T5 Warrior (70/200) ~ SkC T5 Warrior (70/200) ~ RC T2 Warrior (40/110) ~ WC T2 Warrior (40/110) ~ TC T1 Warrior (30/80)Rosybrown (Forest)/ Sandybrown (Feral) ~ Indigo ~ Tan ~ Olive ~ Icyblue ~ Slategray |

| The newly-named Finchkit snuggled closer to her mother. The little she-kit was a replica of her late father, with a dappled coat that might as well have come from Weaselfoot himself. She opened her mouth and let out the softest of squeaks, then wriggled closer to Nectarflower. ______________________________________ - Requirements:

| Kestrelchirp came along, a tugging at his heart pulling him that way. A flower was delicately tucked in his lips. After seeing her little decoration on passing, the tom had kept an eye out. Ever since he locked eyes with Nectarflower at the tunnels, he had wanted a way to say hello to her. But then he found out. She was with kits. Embarrassment had washed over his pelt - to crush on a cat that already had a mate! So instead, he had pushed that aside and still set out to be a good clanmate. He stood there now, above her. "I brought you another flower for the nest. The kits are beautiful." He enthused in his soft, silky voice that sounded of sunshine and a gentle breeze. ______________________________________ Astra inclinant... .: Coyotegrin :: Kestrelchirp :: Quailprowler : Waspswarm : Burnetpaw :. #9966ff : #cc3300 : #6699ff : #993366 : #ff9900 : #ff66cc WC T5 Warrior : WC T4 Warrior : TC T4 Warrior : SkC T2 Warrior (Bonus) : RC App "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire." |

Sootstorm poked his head through the nursery entrance. It was his second time waiting impatiently outside the nursery for the birth of a new litter, but this time it wasn't his kits. He blinked in surprise when he saw Kestrelchirp in the nursery as well, with a flower as well. He didn't know the tom very well, but he had always seemed like a nice cat. Maybe he was here to congradulate Nectarflower on her kits?
Speaking of the kits, four beautiful she-kits was tucked beside the exhausted queen. Sootstorm stepped forward and gave his former apprentice a quick lick on the head. She was tired, but the joy in her eyes was as familiar as ever. "They're beautiful. Have you named them?" He purred softly. Nectarflower deserved these beautiful kits, after everything that she had been through.

| Two unfamiliar scents drifted over, and fuzzy noises sounded over her. She couldn't understand any of it, and she couldn't see anything either. The small kit opened her mouth to squeal in protest of being left in the dark, but in her attempt to do so she was dislodged from her position with her siblings and rolled off the soft moss of the nest and onto the harder ground. Finchkit wriggled about, but couldn't find her way back, which resulted in yet another high-pitch wail. ______________________________________ - Requirements:

Nectarflower lifted her gaze from the small bundles curled against her belly, pale green eyes wide with surprise at the sight of Kestrelchirp approaching them. Her attention then fell to the flower in his jaws and her expression softened. Was that for her? She remained silent, though, both tired from the kitting and wanting to let the tom say what he had come here to say. He stood there for a moment and Nectarflower offered him a gentle smile. It was sweet of him to check on them.
She glanced down at her kits, her heart near to bursting, and nodded. "Thank you, Kestrelchrip. They really are perfect." Humming, she extended a paw and gently scooped the flower into her nest, lodging it between some soft stalks of heather. "And thank you, for the gift I mean." The tortoiseshell she-cat lifted her head to look at the tom once more, her mouth slightly parted as she searched for something else to say. They didn't really know each other all that well...
Thankfully, Sootstorm saved her from any potential awkwardness, and she silently thanked him for arriving. "Hi Sootstorm! And yes." She meowed warmly, and gesturing to each kit in turn, "This one is Mosskit. Little Eveningkit is the she-kit that looks like me, and Weaselkit is this cutie." Oh, but where was Finchkit?
Nectarflower turned, huffing softly at the sight of Finchkit squirming away from her. "And this adventurous one is Finchkit." The Weaselfoot look-alike wailed and Nectarflower's heart lurched before she quickly reached out and pulled Finchkit back into the nest, swiping her tongue lovingly over the ruffled patches of fur. "Silly kit." She purred. Finchkit was going to be a pawful, she was sure.

Sootstorm listened to Nectarflower in silence, watching the kits with loving eyes. These weren't his kits, and Nectarflower would never be his mate, but these kits were precious. They wouldn't die the same way his had-- Rabbitkit, Greykit and Acornkit passing with their mother, and Dustpaw disappearing to wherever he went. Only Quickpaw remained.
Sootstorm couldn't help the purr of laughter as Finchkit tumbled out of the nest, only for her mother to scoop the stubborn kit back. "Those are beautiful names," He commented. "Is there anything you need? Water? Or would you like to sleep now?" He added. Nectarflower had just gone through a painful and tiring experience... she must be pretty tired.
