Shadow of Good and Evil

Prologue
"Mama, why don't the warriors like me?" That was the first question Dapplekit could remember asking her mother. "Dapples, of course they do. Don't be silly. Who could hate a wonderful kit like you?" She licked Dapplekit, making a wet mark on her forehead. "They don't seem to." "If they don't, it's not your problem. It's theirs." Dapplekit stood up and pawed at her tail. The other kits were playing outside, but Dapplekit had never wanted to play 'Leader of the rock' or 'Catch the moss ball.' She just wanted to talk to her mother. "Dapplekit, you should play with your littermates. Go out and get some fresh air." Dapplekit lay down, sighing. Her mother did the same before falling asleep. Dapplekit yawned and gnawed on a piece of rabbit that had been sitting in the den for days. It had gotten rubbery, making it the perfect chewing device. Dapplekit thought about Starshine, and wondered if her father was hunting a mouse at the moment.
