Prologue
The wind whispered through the trees as Mapleshade bounded through the Thunderclan territory. Along with her she brought her dear, beloved kits: Patchkit, Larchkit, and Petalkit. They bounded beside Mapleshade, and the tortoiseshell queen could tell her kits were excited.

“Momma, where are we going?” Petalkit squeaked.

Mapleshade laughed softly. “We are going to met someone special.”

“Special?” Larchkit echoed.

“Yes,” Mapleshade purred. “Someone I wished would be with you this very moment.” Mapleshade pondered over the kind, handsome tom with those brilliant green eyes. The tom that was truly the father. Appledusk had promised to meet her at the ThunderClan-Riveclan border at sunhigh. Mapleshade smiled sadly at her kits. ''Oh Appledusk. If only you were here.''

Mapleshade’s thoughts were interrupted by a groan.

“I’m tired!” Larchkit complained. Mapleshade suppressed a purr; Larchkit always made her laugh.

Mapleshade almost spoke, but it was someone else who defended her. “Momma knows what’s best,” mewed the one and only Patchkit, who Mapleshade adored how he would always stand up for her. “Plus, we’ll be there soon.”

Larchkit nodded. Petalkit didn’t really listen to the conversation, Mapleshade observed, because she was staring wide-eyed at all te scenery.

“Momma,” She whispered, “do you think I will be as tall as the trees one day?”

Mapleshade purred. “I’m not sure about being as tall as the trees, but I know your heart is bigger than any tree I have ever seen.”

Petalkit bounced happily. “Thanks Momma!”

“You’re welcome,” Mapleshade purred.

They arrived at the big river by the sunningrocks. WIP
