misttail looked down at her kits with a sorrowful sigh, their father had been exiled right before her kitting, now it was just her and the two kits,lightkit and darkkit were their names, one looked of sunclaw, their father, and one looked of misttail, just darker. darkkit mewled and squirmed around, trying to find milk, while her sister still was silent, curled up next to her mothers bushy tail. misttail barely heard her kits mews, staring out of the nursery with sad eyes, how was she going to do this all alone, sure she had the other queens, but it wasn't the same as having her mate with her. as these thoughts raced through the blue she-cats mind, a single tear fell down her cheek, leaving a wet trail as she continued to stare out the nursery in sorrow, unknowing to soft'berry telling cinder'star about the prophecy he had received earlier that night.

"when the light shines in the dark, silent blood will run the river" the white tom said to his leader, worry was obvious in his gaze as he sat at the entrance of the den, tail curled over his paws.

"thats it? nothing else?" Cinderstar hissed, her tail slightly lashing in her nest, obviously agitated by starclans bluntness.

"er- well yes cinderstar"Softberry replied, his ears flattened against his head in sight fear at the leaders tone of voice."you know starclan is never straight forward about these things"He mewed, now standing to his paws, trying to reason the leader.

"yes, i know softberry, no need to remind me"cinderstar huffed, looking at the moss her nest was made of."go get some rest, you'll need it"she mewed, flicking her tail as a signal for the tom to leave her alone in the cold and dark den.

"night Cinderstar" softberry mewed, flicking his tail as he slipped out the den, making his way to the medicine den.

"when the light shines in the dark, silent blood will run the river" The medicine cat's words rolled out of her maw as she repeated his words, trying to figure them out.'well, misttail did have her litter not too long ago, and i do believe she named the two kits light'kit and dark'kit, could that be....no....that can't be possible, i'm just overthinking it' Cinderstar shook her thoughts away, laying her head on her paws, letting her tiredness take over her body and falling into a dreamless slumber.
