A slender white she cat with Black blotches walked into a sweet smelling den. She knew this smell very very well. It was queen's milk scent. Even though the smell was faint she could tell the purpose of this den right away. This was the nursery. She never ventured here before and was surprised to see that it was empty. Maybe. Shadows lurked where a kit could hide but she wasn't quite sure. The newly named leader just lay down and be filled with the scent of life. After a few moments of perfect relaxation, Realization hit her. Her 3 sons. Luna's heart began to ache and tears started to fill her pale amber eyes. What kind of mother was she to leave her kits behind to take on adventure. They would be better off without a parent like her. And then it hit her. Her last memory of the kits she raised. Saylem's beautiful all too trusting eyes staring intently at his mother. She left her most caring and vulnerable son to toughen. That was the worst kind of abuse she could think of. Leaving them. Soon she started to sob uncontrollably.
After a few minuets of calming down, Lunastar was finally back to herself. All her tears had dried. The she cat's face was still tear stained but she'd have to be strong to lead this clan. Besides, Keeping up with her rogue ways, she'd have to dump them eventually. To be a rogue, you had to have a hard heart. But then again, She was no longer a rogue. A leader of a clan was her newest rank and her last rank. Luna was quite sick of ranks. oblivion had explained everything to her about clan life. It was dreary of course, but worth while. It would definitely have more perks than regular rogue life. The only problem was living with all these psycho kitties. oh well. The luna shined beautifully on her spotty coat. She was totally alone, or was she??

Brokenkit stirred in his sleep, his smoldered black fur blowing gently in the breeze. He was busy, dreaming of catching a sparrow. He lay in the corner, far off from the entrance and hidden in the murky shadows. Smiling, he flipped over, smacking his paw against the wall. The small ShadowClan kit grumbled something as he caught the dream sparrow. He gasped and grinned. Jumping up, the tiny kit woke up instantly and glared around, indigo eyes chilling in the darkness. "Who's there," he hissed. He was arched and prepared to claw the intruder to death with his miniscule claws. They were obviously soft and not very strong. That didn't mean he wouldn't try. "Oh. It's you Lunastar," he muttered, feeling guilty as he saw his leader. "I'm sorry.. I thought you were an intruder. What brings you here," he asked shamefully.
He had spotted some damp spots inside the den, but shrugged that off. "The moonlight is pretty tonight isn't it?" His voice was deep and very calming, almost serene as he spoke and looked to the great yellow ball in the sky. Silvery stars surrounded it, seeming to dance as he gazed up. "StarClan is up there.. Right? Watching us, guiding us? What does Oblivion do then? And Xeris and Comatose? What are their purposes," he asked his leader, genuinely confused at the situation. All kits needed help at one point or another. He flicked his tail back against the ground as he spoke with graceful ennemities to his leader.

Sparrowfeather padded into the nursery. Milky scents filling her nose. Sparrowfeather jumped when she saw her leader. "Oh hi Lunastar." Sparrowfeather mewed dipping her head. Sparrowfeather smiled at Brokenkit. She winked at him and padded over to the ebony kit. Sparrowfeather giggled. "Wow Brokenkit, you sure do have a lot of questions don't you?" Sparrowfeather mewed licking her golden brown pelt. She smiled at the young kit and sat down beside him.
"Now I don't know much about Oblivion but he visists me in dreams sometimes. Comatose and Xeris are a mystery to me. I know Comatose personally. I met her at the medicine cat meeding." Sparrowfeather mewed. Sparrowfeather turned seriouse and mewed. "I don't know a thing about Xeris but I hope that sums it up for ya." Sparrowfeather mewed giving the kit a lick on his head. "You'd better get used to me licking you." Sparrowfeather mewed winking to Brokenkit.

Luna was ever so slightly alarmed when Brokenkit showed up. Even though she was, she didn't show it. "Hello Brokenkit!," she greeted warmly. Her pale gold eyes shifted in discomfort. Did the kit see his leader cry?! That'd be a horrible first impression. Brokenkit didn't say anything about it so he was either oddly generous for his age or just didn't see it happen. She moved her pale eyes to the young kit to understand more about him. It was just that Sparrowfeather told her that there was a kit here. She never actually met him before that very night. His blue eyes shockingly resembled those of her own kit, saylem, which made it seem a little weird to talk to him alone.
" I just wanted to see who was here and just get a feel of the clan I'm leading," She smiled and answered. " The Luna is gorgeous isn't it?" Luna said caught up in it's beauty. She was indeed named after it. The stars twinkled with fury and it caught her off guard. Anyone who would've looked at them would have laughed. Two cats watching the stars adoringly for several minuets would be a funny site. The shadowclan leader kept staring until a echo sounded in the distance. It was brokenkit asking a question. Lunastar took her mind off the sky to hear what he was saying. Something about starclan., When a new cat popped virtually out of nowhere.
It was only the medicine cat. She sighed with relief that she didn't have to answer any of Brokenkit's questions that she didn't even properly hear. Luna was personally excited to see another new face. " Hello Sparrowfeather, How are you this evening?" She asked the medicine cat. She then licked Brokenkit's head, kind of like a motherly gesture. It was so cute. She waited until they were done before talking to the kit more about starclan. " I never heard of your starclan until recently. Bluestar, an ancient starclan cat, guided me here and I met oblivion at my ceremony. Oblivion seems more important though yet they all know who I am....Which is slightly freaky," She told him. The ancestors of the cats before her were kind of scary.

Brokenkit's indigo eyes glistened under moonlight as the tom smiled to Sparrowfeather. "Yes I suppose I do," he muttered, shuffling his paws wearily. He was trying his hardest to control his clumsiness and so far was doing a good job. Hearing the bright, vivid voice of his leader, he brightened up more. "Yay! You remembered my name," he squealed happily, jumping in joy. The black pelted tom whimpered slightly. Lunastar seemed to be in mid thought and he didn't want to interrupt her, but she was such an amazing cat, he wondered... What was it that drove her to become a Clan Leader? She seemed distracted, at least by him. He wondered if he'd interrupted a midnight thinking process or something... Her voice lit up his ears, almost like a mother's would. The kit sulked for a moment. He didn't know his mother... and barely knew his father. That tom's name though, wouldn't ever be revealed unless he came to ShadowClan to claim him.
"Oh good. Well, I'm Brokenkit. And that thing over there is Sparrowfeather, your medicine cat. Shouldn't you know this already," he asked bluntly, smiling to her and shaking his head. He felt light headed all of a sudden and the strong tom fell sideways from the weight. His head tumbled and thudded against the soft Nursery ground and he just stared, laying on his side. "Great... Once again, the Great Brokenshadow falls on the ground..." His voice was sarcastic and yet at the same time, joy filled. Sparrowfeather's tongue rasped over his head as he sat up and the kit groaned. "Ugh.. Medicine Cat spit," he teased, laughing happily. "Oh alright thanks Sparrowfeather." A smile graced his face and the tom kit laughed silently, still grinning from his medicine cat spit thing.
His tail fell flat and Brokenkit shrugged. "I think you're amazing," he mewed. "Bluestar actually came to you in a dream? And Guided you here? That's awesome!! My father used to tell me stories about her! And Firestar too!!"

Sparrowfeather gave Brokenkit a solid glare. She wacked him on the back of his head and hissed. "Brokenkit! Don't be rude to the leader!" Sparrowfeather sighed when he complained about being clumsy. "Brokenkit some cats are worse off. And Hi Lunastar! I'm Shadowclan's brilliant medicine cat as Brokenkit told you. Only he forgot the brilliant part!" Sparrowfeather joked winking at the small kit. Sparrowfeather gave Brokenkit a strange look. "So are you saying medicine cat spit is a bad thing!?" She mewed. "Well I'll show you!" Sparrowfeather joked pouncing, claws sheathed onto the tiny kit. Sparrowfeather picked up Brokenkit by his scruff and swung him gently in a circle. Sparrowfeather laughed.
She smiled at Brokenkit and touched his nose. She picked him up by his scruff again and set him down on his nest. "Now sleep Brokenkit it's Moonhigh and I'm tired myself." Sparrowfeather mewed standing up and yawning. "G night everyone." Sparrowfeather mewed padding back to her den.

****Later on in the morning****
Lunastar opened her pale gold eyes with lots of force. It took all of her will power to not go back to sleep. She knew it'd be smart to do a dawn patrol but she did not feel like it at ALL. Her limbs ached for the first time since her journey to highstones. The long journey was just now getting to her. There the leader lay on her side in a nice patch of greenery but the problem was she couldn't get up. Luna laid there for a long time and finally decided to get up, Grudgingly. Last night was just a normal night but she decided to visit the only kit in her clan once more. Maybe Sparrow could join again. Camp was boring without them. Luna sighed. She was the one going on all the patrols because she was the only one designed for that. Brokenkit was to young and Sparrowfeather was a medicine cat who was busier than that. She'd patrol later. There were enough mice and lizards in the pile, But going to check wouldn't hurt anyone.
As Lunastar walked outside a topaz leaf landed on her nose. She went cross eyed and sneezed. Her sinuses were picking up once more, if she had time she'd talk to Sparrowfeather about it. Tis the season. Leaf fall was coming in faster than poor luna could bear. The greenleaf season was always her favorite. She walked over to the nursery and looked inside. " Brokenkit, oh Brokenkit, Where are you?" She looked inside. It was dark. Was he even awake yet?! Lunastar gulped and instantly felt guilty. The leader than looked to the sky. It was early but not to early. The sun was not fully up yet but close. She then waited to see if she failed or not.
