They all sat in the cluttered nursery, which had been expanded, but was still too small. "My kits and I will have to sleep outside when they come." Flowerglow kept joking. "I'm not WindClan. I would sleep at the bottom of the river before I sleep outside all night." Moonshine mewed, licking her paw and running it behing her ear. "I need exercize." Flowerglow streched her sore legs. "Coming?" she asked her friend, Orangefoot.

| Row 1 info | - Ivykit and Redkit are born to Whitecloud and Orangefoot in mid Leaf-Fall. Poolpaw likes to help train Ivykit and Redkit for practice when they are apprentices and she is a mentor, but Ivykit starts to realize that a warrior is not the path for her. Redkit, however, is very happy to be a warrior and learns well from Poolpaw. Ivykit and redkit go seprate ways when Ivykit turns into Ivypaw, medicine cat apprentice and Redkit becomes Redpaw, apprentice of Poolwater. When Tallears disappears and the sister get their names, Ivystorm and Redfur, the trouble starts brewing for RiverClan. ThunderClan is looking at stealing Sunningrocks and, maybe, all of RiverClan's territory. WindClan have started patroling their borders more often and ShadowClan are getting restless. Then LArchstar makes Refur his deputy right before he dies, and the sister are in charge of RiverClan. Redstar and Ivystorm have to deal with a battle that inguires all their warriors, prey-stealers, and casual hate from all three other Clans. Can the two save RiverClan, or will RiverClan not live on Forever?

| abstract | - Kits were to be born soon. Many kits. Moonshine, Flowerglow, Spotfur, Softfoot, and Orangefoot were all pregnat. They all sat in the cluttered nursery, which had been expanded, but was still too small. "My kits and I will have to sleep outside when they come." Flowerglow kept joking. "I'm not WindClan. I would sleep at the bottom of the river before I sleep outside all night." Moonshine mewed, licking her paw and running it behing her ear. "I need exercize." Flowerglow streched her sore legs. "Coming?" she asked her friend, Orangefoot. "I'll get Eagermind or Tallpaw, and ask them to come with us so we can gather herbs." Orangefoot meowed, padding into the medicine cat den. Inside was a strong scent of herbs and a small tabby brown cat with unusually tall ears sorting out juniper berries. "Hi, Tallpaw. Where's Eagermind?" Orangefoot asked the tabby cat. "In the back, treating that mouse-brain who wants his foot broken!" Tallpaw grunted angrily. Orangefoot knew he meant Thornpaw, who kept climbing trees and falling out of them. "Well, Flowerglow and I were thinking about gathering herbs. Want to come with us?" Orangefoot asked, watching her ginger paws scuffle shyly. Even though her mate, Whitecloud, was her true love, she still felt shy around Tallpaw. She used to love him, but she stopped when he became a medicine cat. "Thank you, please." Tallpaw jumped up and called over his shoulder, "Eagermind! I'm off to collect herbs!" Flowerglow, Tallpaw, and Orangefoot padded through the forest beside the trickling stream that lead off the river. They were an odd bunch, all mostly brown but pelts completely different. Flowerglow, mostly brown, had a tortishell pelt, Tallpaw had a brown tabby pelt, and Orangefoot had a brown pelt with ginger paws. Orangefoot stopped suddenly. She had felt great pain. She plopped down in the soft grass, breathing hard. "The kits are coming!" Tallpaw exclaimed. "Flowerglow! Go back to camp and tell Eagermind! We can't move her, so be quick!" It seemed moons, but the first kit came. It was reddish-brown with tabby streaks. Tallpaw licked its fur the wrong way, warming it while soothing Orangefoot. Another one came, this one cream-colored with silver tabby spots. Eagermind came hurring with herbs in his mouth and Flowerglow and Moonshine behind him. Flowerglow pulled ahead and took over licking the second kit while Moonshine took the first. Then a third came. It was small, a perfect copy of its mother. Tallpaw knew something was wrong right away. He licked it once. It wasn't breathing. It was dead. Orangefoot's eyes fell upon it, and she let out a wail or grief. "Larchstar won't be happy about this. He wants living kits for the Clan." Eagermind meowed sadly. "Let's sit vigil for him right now." Orangefoot meowed. "We can bury him right now, and not tell anyone about him." "You should name him and his siters first." Flowerglow meowed, taking the kits from Moonshine and laying them next to Orangefoot for feeding. "I will name this one Redkit. In honor of her red fur." Orangefoot paused, then said, "I just can't think of a perfect name for this one, though." "I think you should name him, too." Moonshine meowed gently, poking the dead kit. "His name will be Secretkit. In honor of his way of death." Orangefoot meowed. "Lets make her a makeshift den, she might need to stay here overnight." Eagermind meowed, and dug in the herbs he had brought for borage and poppy seed. Suddenly, the wind stirred up the ivy leaves around them, engulfing them in an ivy-storm. "That is what I will name her!" Orangefoot exclaimed. "It is a sign from StarClan! They sent the wind to stir up the ivy to tell me that I must name this kit Ivykit!"
