Timberclan has always lived in solitude, since the beginning when Timberstar and his family had settled in the dense forest. Throughout every generation of the family, a clan began to grow, and as more cats heard of it, they wanted to join. Hundreds of moons would pass before the clan would change. When two specific cats are born, the history of the clan would change forever. Silverkit and his two brothers, Harekit and Dovekit, are born to Mothfleck and Palefern. Silverkit is very shy when it comes to meeting new cats in his early years, his only friends were made by Harekit and Dovekit forcing him to become friends with their friends. When the kits reach the age of 3 moons, Mothfleck introduces her kits to her sister, Flintskip, who is pregnant with two kits that will be delivered in a moon. Once that moon passes, Flintskip gives birth to Slatekit and Swiftkit. Flintskip does not pay much attention to Slatekit, and gives full attention to Swiftkit. Throughout Slatekit's life, he is constantly ignored, and Silverkit tries to help him through it, but Slatekit will not allow him to get anywhere near him, as he is afraid that Silverkit will hurt him like his mother did. By the time all the kits have become apprentices, then warriors, Slatekit, now known as Slatefur, has mysteriously disappeared, and Silverstorm is very worried to what may have happened to him.
