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)

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)

Tigerheart ~ (Cai)
Rabbitheart ~ (Yoko)

Snaketail

Age: 20 Moons

Gender: Tom

Clan: ShadowClan

Apprentice: None

Rank: Warrior

Mate: Helen (deceased)

Crush: Lightningclaw (deceased)

Kin: brothers: Lizardeye, Twistedclaw
cousin: Toadpelt
kits: Ivykit, Adderkit

Description: Snaketail is a considerably darker brown then his brothers. He's the biggest, but mostly in height, due to his admirably long and elegant legs. He stands at about 11 inches from head to toe, only slightly taller than the average cat. His body is thin with lean rippling muscles operating beneath the long and full tabby fur. Because he's not built for speed, he has had to train hard to build up his fighting style of swift and powerful attacks. His movements are jaunty. His mouth has a single splotch of white, which blossoms down his chest and kisses each of his four paws. His tail is a bit longer than his legs, full fluffy, and distinctly striped in a snake-like pattern. He has no battle scars that can be seen over his fur. His claws are pearly white. The pads under his paws are pink and soft. His face is soft looking as well, all curves with facial muscles and bones melting smoothly into a soft innocent tom face. He has fairly long whiskers, usually wilting downward. His nose is a rosy pink. Most awe-inspiring are his round wide amber eyes bright and passionate all at once, enshrouded by the darkest of his pale tabby markings.

Personality: Of all three of his brothers, he is the most socially comfortable. He's a master orator. He can be cool and casual one second, then passionate and outspoken the next. His wording and manner are elegant, but not too uptight. His sarcasm is that of stingingly truthful venom, so it’s best not to invoke it. Snaketail has always had a deep love for his clanmates, especially his brothers. He's on fair terms with all the cats in his clans and has considerable influence over his clanmates. However, there is always a mysterious air about him. Snaketail is committed to his Clan and the warrior code. But that doesn't mean he can't be manipulative in order to help he and his brothers succeed. He's quite cunning, but he allows Lizardeye to do the major planning and decision making. Then, Snaketail effectively voices his brother's concern for the Clan to the leader.

In battle, he believes in straightforward fighting. Frontal blows and facing his opponents head on. Mercy is not an unheard of concept for him and he respects his enemies that put up a good battle, whether they flee or die at his claws.

They work hard but then they get to play. With almost kit-like hobbies, such as tossing moss balls, or flinging mud, or chasing each other under the darkness of ShadowClan’s night, Snaketail manages to forget for even just a moment, the weight of the forest and the Warrior Code.

History: This will be about the same thing for all of the brothers. Twistedkit, Lizardkit, and Snakekit were all born in the same litter. Snakekit was named for his tail, Lizardkit was named for his fur. But their mother could never explain Twistedkit's name. "It just seemed to fit." she'd reply when asked. The kits, being Newleaf born, suffered little hardship. They were all very rough when playing. And, most importantly, they were all very close.

All three were apprenticed at once. Though their mentors trained them separately, they always came together during freetime or chores. They fended off a fox (a young one) together once. They also fought in Clan battles as one single entity. Lizardpaw the brains, Snakepaw the taunter, and Twistedpaw the muscle, they were unbeatable. This battle plan has withstood the test of time.

When the time came for them to receive their warrior names, they got into their first ever fight. It was over the warrior code, which was hard to believe because they all seemed so dedicated to it. The rest of the Clan never got the details. It was only a few days after the ceremony when they came together again. From that day on they were inseparable. They hunted together, went on patrols together, and fought together. Specklestar is aware that this is a strong force that can be used for the Clan. But she fears the danger as well.

The three siblings were given three apprentices all at once, Honeypaw, Emberpaw, and Eclipsepaw. Most likely this was done to pass on their strong teamwork to an even younger generation of cats. Recently these apprentices have been made warriors. The two trios are still fairly close, but the dynamic of their relationship has much changed. No longer are they mentors and apprentices, but rather strong allies.

Also a new development is the transformation in their formerly loveless lives, minus Snaketail. Snaketail's mate died in bearing his kits, effectively making him a secret single father. He brought his kits to the Clan claiming they were "lost orphans", but the amount of affection he shows them is dangerous to the lie. Recently, he lost a dear friend of his before he could even work out how he really felt about her. The loss was hard but for his kit's sake he knows he must pull himself together.

Meanwhile, Lizardeye has been spending an unusual amount of time with a certain clanmate. At first, it seemed that he was helping in Brindlepelt's rehabilitation because he felt personally responsible for her shoulder injury. Yet now that the injury has long healed, he continues to spend time with her, sharing meals and volunteering for patrols. The effort to keep in touch is minimal, but his interest is not. If he were not so distracted by other problems, he would likely solve this puzzling fascination he has for her, but as it is, he can only keep it in the back of his mind for later.

Twistedclaw, by the order of Specklestar, has been aiding Feathercloud in gathering herbs. It has taken a long while, but he has grudgingly gotten used to the presence of the she-cat. Dare he say it? Being around Feathercloud has even become sort of pleasant. She later asked for some basic battle training, which Twistedclaw found easy to agree with. But quickly learning that she had no claw for offense, he decided to teach her defense and aversion instead. After all, she was their only medicine cat.
