Rivermist, a half-Clan queen in WindClan, and a half-Clan warrior from ShadowClan by the name of Foxfur had eight kits. The kits were raised in their mother's Clan until they were three moons old, when things changed.

After a request from the kits' father caused Rivermist to contemplate moving some of her kits to ShadowClan, WindClan's leader made the shocking decision to split the queen's kits evenly between all four Clans. Under the reasoning that the kits had the blood of all four Clans within them, two kits were sent to each of the other Clans, while two remained in WindClan with their mother.

Though all eight kits currently struggle with the after-effects of this tumultuous change, more is still to come. After the kits all become apprentices, one by one a kit from each Clan will die, until there is only one left alive in each of the four Clans. In honour of their fallen siblings, the apprentices will eventually take their dead littermates' suffix as their warrior prefix.

But what further troubles await these ill-fated offspring of a cursed union?

The Cats:

Rivermist ~ (Deceased)
Foxfur ~ (APC)
-----
Spottedkit ~ (Spore)
Stonekit ~ (Kitty)
Swiftkit ~ (Cai)
Sandkit ~ (Yellow)
Silverkit ~ (APC)
Stormkit ~ (Yoko)
Shadowkit ~ (Amber)
Streamkit ~ (APC)

The Kits as Warriors:

Spottedstone -- ThunderClan
Swiftsand -- ShadowClan
Silverstorm -- WindClan
Shadowstream -- RiverClan

Five she-cat warriors of WindClan and RiverClan have been great friends for moons, and decide to do something crazy. They plan to get pregnant and have kits all at the same time, but one thing they don't count on is how many kits this really means!

The five queens each have four or five kits... that's a lot of kits to be born at the same time! But no-matter how tumultuous the idea seems, the queens have no idea what shocking change will come of their innocent plot.

The Queens:

Gingertail ~ (Kitty)
Thrushtail ~ (Ki)
Littlestream ~ (Izzie)
Doveclaw ~ (Spore)
Robinwing ~ (Cai)

The Mates:

Dustfur ~ (Yellow)
Birchnose ~ (Yoko)
Batheart ~ (Spore)
Tigerheart ~ (Cai)
Rabbitheart ~ (Yoko)

Prologue

((Rain poured in vicious strikes, nothing could be heard over roaring wind and quakes of thunder. Softly, hiding beneath the storm's rage, the yowls of insignificant cats were heard fighting for their lives. Blood was being washed away as fast as it had been slapped down. Far from the bubbling blood and tearing fur of the ShadowClan Camp. Four young she-cats stood in the sacred center of Four Trees.))

Brightheart (shuffling her paws): What if...what if they didn't make it?

Emberthorn (coldly): Don't be ridiculous. Snaketail would never allow that to happen.

((Brightheart looked at her paws. Was she frightened that they wouldn't make it, or was she scared that they might? What dangers lay before them if they really went through with this...? Well, they were about to find out))

((The bushes rustled. Out from the shadows, three figures emerged. Only Brightheart raised her hackles. But it became clear quickly that no fight would be had. Lime green eyes sparked as the moonlight caught them. Emberthorn nodded greetings to her former mentor. Behind the tabby, two small cats slunk along. Their heads were down. They were only kits.))

Lizardeye (stops and eyes them all): So. This is your final decision? There's no turning back if you go through with this now.

Emberthorn: I would assume that we've all settled our business here days ago. Not one of us would be standing here if we had a moments doubt. Isn't that right?

Honeydapple (solemnly): Absolutely correct.

Eclipseclaw (rasping with an edge of impatience): Of course.

Brightheart (fierce eyes): Not a single doubt.

((Emberthorn glances sideways at Brightheart, but her gaze conveys nothing. She looks forward again.))

Emberthorn: So are we ready then?

Lizardeye (nudging the kits forward with his tail): Yes. Adderkit. Ivykit. It's time to go. (bows to the four she-cats) We are forever in your debt. Farewell. You've made fine apprentices and learners. Do not forget us and our mistakes.

Honeydapple (watery eyed): We would never!

(Lizardeye blinks. He nods to the four, then ascends the slope. Without a single glance back, he vanishes into the underbrush.)

Emberthorn (all business): We have to carry them. It's the fastest way.

Eclipseclaw: Right! (attempts to grab Adderkit, but Brightheart steps in)

Brightheart: Ha, you're not exactly the gentle type, Eclipseclaw. I have her.

Thus the journey begins...
