/|Chapter 6|\

"In all the stars?" Northkit muttered to herself, her voice barely audible for the others to hear. She turned her head towards her mother, Lightwhisper, who appeared to be napping. Northkit could see that her mother seemed exhausted as if she could sleep for moons. She flicked her tail towards her siblings, Sheepkit, Oddkit, and Echokit, who were playing nearby.

Sheepkit, Oddkit, and Echokit caught Northkit's signal and exchanged quick glances among themselves. They knew Northkit was confined to the nursery, unable to join their play. The sun had climbed to its peak, casting its warm rays in all directions. They knew it wouldn't be long until sundown approached, painting the eastern sky with its colors.

Feeling a mixture of excitement and sympathy for Northkit, Sheepkit, Oddkit, and Echokit approached her with gentle steps. They understood her longing for freedom and adventure. Sheepkit nudged her affectionately, while Oddkit and Echokit exchanged sympathetic glances.

Northkit sighed, watching her siblings play and frolic. She yearned to join them, to feel the thrill of the camp's boundaries beneath her paws. But for now, she was confined to the nursery, unable to venture beyond its safe confines. She admired her siblings' energy and enthusiasm, finding solace in their company.

As they continued their play, Northkit's gaze shifted back to her mother, Lightwhisper. She seemed to stir from her nap, blinking her eyes open and observing her kits with a tender expression. Northkit couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for the freedom her siblings enjoyed, but she also understood the importance of patience and waiting for her turn.

The sun's warm rays continued to bathe the clearing, illuminating the camp with a golden glow. Northkit watched as the day progressed, knowing that someday soon, she would join her siblings in their adventures. For now, she would find comfort in their company and the anticipation of what lay beyond the confines of the nursery.

Sunhigh cast warm rays over the camp, melting away the remnants of leaf-bare. Northkit sat beneath the sprouting green leaves near the entrance of the nursery, feeling a sense of anticipation in the air. The other kits were playing Warrior and Mouse inside the den, but she found herself drawn to the gentle breeze and the sights around her.

As she gazed out at the clearing, she noticed something unusual yet strangely familiar. A silver ball of light flitted about, separate from the golden glow she had seen before. It meandered aimlessly, as if searching for something. The other cats in the clearing seemed oblivious to its presence.

Confused and intrigued, Northkit couldn't take her eyes off the mysterious silver orb. She was the only one who could see it, and it puzzled her. Just as she was about to contemplate its meaning, Echokit's playful surprise jolted her back to reality.

"Boo!" he exclaimed, causing her to startle and stumble back. She pretended to be annoyed, but a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Why do you always do that?" she playfully scolded him. Echokit shrugged, his eyes gleaming mischievously. "You looked like you were lost in thought. What were you looking at, anyway?"

Northkit hesitated for a moment, debating whether to share her discovery. In the end, she decided to keep it to herself, at least for now. "Oh, nothing," she replied casually, trying to appear nonchalant. Echokit raised an eyebrow but didn't press further. "Well, come on then. You don't want to miss out on playing Warrior and Mouse!" he teased, twitching his tail towards the nursery entrance.

Rolling her eyes and chuckling, Northkit stood up and followed Echokit inside. The lively game awaited them, and she couldn't resist joining in the fun. As she entered the den, she was greeted by the enthusiastic chaos of her littermates tumbling over each other.

"Oops, sorry!" Sheepkit apologized as he quickly untangled himself from the heap of kits. Whistlekit's voice rang out, beckoning her to join their team. Oddkit stood by Whistlekit's side, and Hickorykit was already strategizing their next move. On the other side, Sheepkit, Whistlekit, and Smokekit stood as their opponents. Toms versus she-cats, it seemed.

"Northkit, be on our side!" Oddkit cheerfully encouraged her, indicating the vacant spot on their team. Northkit eagerly took her position, exchanging determined glances with her teammates. The game was Moss Ball, and their objective was to pass the ball between teammates, navigate through the opposing team, and score in the moss bed goal.
