A black she-cat lied on the tunnel floor, spasms shaking her. 'C'mon Hollyleaf! You are brave and strong, so you can have kits!' The she-cat heard the voice in her head. Hollyleaf heaved once again, and a bundle came out.

Two more followed the bundle, and Hollyleaf groomed them. Two of them were black, while the other was a dark brown tabby. They suckled from Hollyleaf, and their mother fell asleep. After a bit, the two black kits refused to suckle. The chill of the wind in the caves killed them.

Hollyleaf awoke to find only the brown tabby alive. "I'm calling you Ivy of the Lost Mountain." Hollyleaf whispered to her kit, and she raised her for five moons.

After those long five moons, Hollyleaf suddenly disappeared. Ivy was alone. And for moons on end, Ivy of the Lost Mountain searched for her missing mother.
