Springkit looked around the empty camp with a sigh, who were they supposed to play with now?
Sparrowstrike was dozing outside of the nursery, he was supposed to be in charge of watching the kits, but the tom was thoroughly exhausted from all the rebuilding he had done recently.
Twigkit was resting next to his father, snuggled into his fur.

Flyingkit was attempting to climb the cliff outside the nursery while Splashecho kept glancing at her with worry. The kit wasn't making it very far very fast. She was only about a foot off the nursery ledge, but she had her tongue sticking out as she concentrated on were she put her paws for the best footing. To Splashecho's relief, Flyingkit wasn't rushing herself, but it always making Splashecho worry since Flyingkit's patience was allowing her to climb higher. Splashecho tapped her tail against Sparrowstrike as an expression of her concern.

Sparrowstrike jumped at Splashecho's touch, looking up frantically in order to find the kits. He relaxed slightly seeing Twigkit curled up next to him and Springkit batting a rock around. When he couldn't spot Flyingkit directly in front of him, he began to look around. He tensed seeing his daughter climbing the cliff, looking at Splashecho with wide eyes "Did she get up there by herself?" he asked, half in wonder half in fear.

Splashecho nodded slowly, side-glancing at her mate. "She's not rushing herself, which is a good thing, but I'm concerned she'll misstep."
Flyingkit kept going up the cliff. Her progress was VERY slow as she tested each foothold thirty times before finally moving upwards on one. She didn't look down or didn't look ahead, she just kept focused on where she was and what she was doing. I'm gonna climb Skystar Tree! She thought with determination. Apprentices had to prove they could climb the Clan cliff and to the top of Skystar Tree before they could become warriors. If she could climb all the way to the top of the tree, she could become the first kit to go straight into being a warrior!

some big ambitions little Flyingkit XD )
Sparrowstrike cautiously got to his paws, licking Splashecho's ear in comfort before he quietly padded below the cliffs edge. He wouldn't disrupt his daughter and certainly did not want to scare her. He just wanted to be ready in case she did in fact slip.
Twigkit grumbled as his father's warmth left him. He shook his fur out before moving to snuggle with his mother instead
Springkit finally noticed Flyingkit, her eyes wide as she watched her sister. She ran over to Splashecho, bouncing as she went "Mama! Do you see her up there? She's so good!"

Flyingkit leaned closer to the face of the cliff when the spots she put her footing got a little smaller. SHe hadn't even noticed that her father was near her.
Splashecho curled her tail around Twigkit to hold him close, but her eyes never left Flyingkit. She nodded to Springkit. "I do see her up there. She needs to be careful."

Sparrowstrike stayed where he was, watching her climb higher and higher. Pride for his daughter filled his heart, when did she get so big? His eyes never left her, ready to spring into action the moment she lost her footing.
Springkit wriggled, watching her sister with wide eyes. "Can I do that Mama? Will you let me climb too?"

Flyingkit was starting to pant. As focused as she was on her climb, her small body wasn't used to the effort. Her progress was getting slower and slower and she hadn't even made it a fourth of the way to the leader's den. The back of her mind argued that she should climb back down, she wasn't used to this, but her determination kept pushing her onward. She did pause, though and look back to see how far she had come. "Hi Daddy!" Flyingkit purred when she spotted her father.
"I think one of you climbing the cliff is enough." Splashecho smiled softly at her daughter. "Maybe after you become an apprentice, you can give it a shot?"

Sparrowstrike smiled up at her, "Hi Flyingkit, are you having fun up there?" he asked, casually placing his paws up onto the rock like he was stretching. and totally not getting ready to catch her
Springkit sighed but nodded. She knew Splashecho would not give when it came to dangerous activities. "Yes Mama. I will be an apprentice soon right? Who do you think Spiritstar will pick as my mentor?"

I think I left Shadespots here ) Shadespots sighed as she gazed out across the empty camp, she wished she had been chosen to attend the gathering. Especially since Spiritstar would be announcing her brother's death, but she knew it wasn't her turn to go.

Flyingkit nodded, holding her position. "Yeah! I'm gonna climb to the top of Skystar tree and become a warrior!"
"Oh, whoever it will be will be the best mentor for you." Splashecho purred softly at the thought of her kits growing up and becoming apprentices. It was a bitter sweet thought. "Spiritstar might choose Willow nose or Shadowmask for you as your mentor."

Sparrowstrike purred at her enthusiasm, “While I admire your courage Flyingkit. Spiritstar can’t just make you a warrior for climbing the tree.” He mewed gently. “You need to learn the territory, and how to properly hunt and fight before you can get your warrior name.”
Springkit puffed out her chest, “I can’t wait to be Springpaw! Although I know that means I won’t get to share a nest with you anymore and I think I will miss you.” She mewed, scampering forward to press her face into her mother’s fur.

Flyingkit lightly frowned. "but the apprentices were saying that those who can climb all the way to the top of Skystar tree get to become warriors!"
"I will miss you too, dear one." Splashecho lowered her head to nuzzle against Spring kit. "But all good things must come to an end. You have so many adventures waiting for you when you become an apprentice."

Sparrowstrike nodded "Climbing is a big part of apprentice training, you are right. But that doesn't mean you can be a warrior just because you can climb little one. I am very proud of you for getting all the way up there, and you will certainly impress your mentor with your skills. But apprentice training is also a lot more than just skills. You must learn the ways of Skyclan and practice the warrior code."
Springkit purred quietly at the affection, "Will you still watch us play when we're apprentices?"

Flyingkit's frown deepened. If climbing wasn't going to make her a warrior, then why was she up here? I do like to climb, It made her smile to be able to look down at her father and see beyond the camp wall at their territory. It made her swell that her father was proud and that her future mentor would be impressed with her. Yet, she thought she knew SkyClan's ways and the warrior code. Guess there's stuff I'm missing, she smiled down at her father. "Ok! Can you start teaching me?" She crouched down on her perch and took aim at her father, her butt wiggled in preparation to pounce down at him.

"Of course I will." Splashecho purred and licked her daughter's forehead. "I'll always be watching you, dear one. You have my word."

(Sorry Willow. Got sidetracked) Swallowsong noticed a distraught Shadespots sitting in the clearing a little ways from her. She got to her paws, hesitant to approach, but after some reflection did so anyway. As she drew to a distance from which Shadespots would undoubtedly detect her presence, she contemplated what she could possibly say to console the older she-cat. Goldfire had not been a very nice tom, perhaps even evil as former apprentice to the Dark Forest, but he had still been her brother. Spiritstar and Whitesun had not selected her to attend the Gathering, perhaps to spare her the pain of the announcement of Goldfire's death, but she seemed equally agonized about not being able to attend and Swallowsong could not bear to see her here in solemn solitude. "I'm so sorry Shadespots," Swallowsong mewed softly, touching the she-cat's shoulder with her plumed tail, "We all know how much you tried to help Goldfire." Shadespots was in possession of a pure and kind heart and she had carried a heavy burden worrying about Goldfire, a cat whose heart Swallowsong imagined had never been very easy to reach.

Sparrowstrike's eyes widened as Flyingkit turned around "Be careful!" he squeezed out, bracing for impact if she landed on him.
Springkit snuggled into her mother's fur, turning her head to glance over to her father and sister. "Woah, what's she doing now?" she mewed curiously.
Shadespots looked up at Swallowsong, giving her a bittersweet smile. "Thank you Swallowsong. I never thought that I would care that much when he died. He... really didn't care that much for me. But I could have saved him, and I failed him." she replied softly. "I've spent half my warrior life trying to make his life better, to turn his darkness around. Bring him back into the light of Starclan, but he never accepted it. And now I can't help but worry he'll be walking in the dark forest forever."

As she listened to Shadespots, Swallowsong blinked in utter surprise.
"No. No, that's not fair, Shadespots," she asserted, shaking her head in protest, "That's not fair to you. And I won't allow you to look upon your efforts and deem them a failure. Goldfire made his own decisions. There was no way for you to dispel the darkness in him. Maybe StarClan will pardon him on account of the patience and endurance you showed trying to restore him to the light but you haven't failed. You may have spent half your life trying to help him, but you've spent all of it serving with the heart of a warrior and StarClan smiles upon you as I and the rest of the Clan do now. Don't let Goldfire's death continue to deprive you of the praise you deserve just because he refused to see it when he lived. Wherever he resides now, he can't ever refute your attempts to save him."

Shadespots tilted her head as she thought through Swallowsong's statement. She felt comforted but also conflicted by the other she-cat's words. "I appreciate you trying to comfort me, and I appreciate your kind words. I think I just need to mourn for him and mourn all of my lost time. How are you holding up after the fire?"

"I'm okay," Swallowsong held for a few moments before breaking her silence with a sigh, "But I'm more worried about how the Gathering is going and whats news we'll receive. Cedarstar risked two of his warriors trying to help us and the other Clans were probably hit much harder. If it turns out all Clans are in ShadowClan's debt, I'm worried about what lies ahead. Leaf-bare is coming and the forest has been ravaged. Tensions will be high as we try to feed mouths."
