Stare at it. I can't believe it won! =D I guesh since you said it was a Cider Coloring Contest, this is a Cider Coloring Contest Entry (CCCE) XD Right? You're welcome to guess who the winged cats in the story are =3 Also, for my Mapleshade fanfic on dA, Mapleshade is going to join ShadowClan after RiverClan reject her, and ShadowClan accept her. But she doesn't feel like a ShadowClan cat and leaves for the life of a loner. Now, I need you to know what you think would be better. Should she go to the farm to meet the barn cats (I could have Domino still alive then) or befriend a dog who can speak to cats?
Birdtail and her brother, Wolfshimmer, as kits =3 They're supposed to represent Ice and Wind, respectively on the Elemental Zodiac (which calls for Yin, Yang, Ice, Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Order, Crime, and Harmony) I know Wolfkit's pelt looks much more Iceish than Birdkit's. She almost looks like Water or Crime. But who cares, she's ice. Moving on to the shortish story: Birdkit blinked nervously. "Why are you here? Where am I? Where is my mom?!" The mysterious black cat extended her wings and her green eyes flickered. Wolfkit arched his back and hissed. The black cat blinked patiently. "You kits have a power...you must not abuse." Birdkit glared "So? Let us GO!" The black she-cat shook her head. I'll tell you more when you get older, but you won't be rid of me. I'll guide you through your destiny. My brother is tending to Blazingkit and Dewkit." Wolfkit hissed more. "I don't want a destiny! I just want to be a good ShadowClan warrior!" The black cat nodded and seemed to almost summon two necklaces from mist. One was a sapphire, the other an opal. "You must wear these.", she purred softly as she strung them around Birdkit and Wolfkit's necks. Suddenly a white tom with blue eyes and wings swooped in beside the black she-cat carrying Blazingkit and Dewkit, who had recieved a ruby and amythest, respectively. "You can rest for now. But when the time comes, we will be there for you through and through to guide you through your destiny." Blazingkit glared and Dewkit shifted her paws nervously. "Then," the black she cat rumbled "You can be the best ShadowClan warriors you ever wanted to be." The white cat nodded. "You may return to your mother now. Remember, we will always be with you!" The black cat nodded. "One day, little kits," she purred softly, "We will be best friends." Then the cats faded from sight and the four kits felt themselves being knocked off their feet. Their vision swirled and their mind went dizzy. When it cleared, they were sitting right outside of the ShadowClan camp. Their mother, Aquaswirl (remember her design? =D) raced over to them. "Where did you go!" she demanded. She had woken and found her kits missing from her side. "Why are you four sitting out of the camp, why did you escape!" She yawned and flicked her tail. "Come now," she hissed as she rounded up her kits. "It's time to go back to sleep. When you wake up next, I think you owe me an explanation." she meowed strangely calmly as she whisked her kits into the nursery. "Come now, have some milk and go back to sleep." Soon Birdkit and her littermates were fast asleep.
