The Name of a Name

Prologue
Lionblaze entered the nursery where he saw his mate, Cinderheart, curled up. There were 4 tiny kits nuzzled at her gray belly. His brother, Jayfeather the medicine cat, placed his long, slender gray tabby tail on the new father's golden shoulder.

"She did great," He purred. "Her and your kits are just fine." At this fact, Lionblaze let out a sigh of relief. At least there was some good news. His sister, Hollyleaf, had died in a battle with the Dark Forest 6 moons ago. Then Leafpool, his mother, had gotten hit by a monster while collecting herbs for Jayfeather. At least his kits were safe.

Cinderheart opened one of her blue eyes and smiled. "Hey, Lionblaze. Meet your son and daughters..." She let out a large yawn. "I want you to pick the names, I picked out one of them though." She pointed to the black she-kit with green eyes. "This is Hollykit, in honor of Hollyleaf."

Lionblaze looked at his other three kits. There was a flame-colored she-kit, a brown tabby tomkit, and a tortoiseshell she-kit with a white chest and paws. "I want to name the ginger one Firekit, the tabby Bramblekit, and the tortoiseshell Spottedkit."

Cinderheart licked her mate's torn, golden ear. "Those are wonderful names, sweet."
