Icy River looked down at her kittens, Summer Storm, Hissing Snake, and Singing Jay. Coiled Snake, the leader of HawkPack, walked over from the other side of the clearing and let out a gentle purr.
"Soft Breeze told me how old your kits are. They grow so fast! What are their names?" Coiled Snake meowed joyfully.
Icy River meowed proudly, "This is Summer Storm," she nodded at the brown tabby she-cat with a white chest and belly, "this is Hissing Snake," she flicked her tail at the gray tom with brown paws and a brown jagged spot on his back, "and this is Singing Jay," she glanced at the final kitten that was a molted gray-and-white she-cat.
"What wonderful names, fitting for these wonderful kittens, of course. I do have to go and hunt right now, but it was a pleasure to meet your wonderful family. I'm sure that they will be great hunters and fighters," meowed Coiled Snake over her shoulder.
"Good-bye!" Icy River called after her.
As she and her kittens walked into the shelter of the small cave that they lived in with Shy Fawn, Rock Shadow, Icy River's mate, ran up beside her and their kits.
"Hello, Rock Shadow!" Icy River meowed cheerfully.
"Hi! Maple Leaf told me that we should begin training our kits!" Rock Shadow meowed.
"MEW! I can't wait to start!" meowed Hissing Snake at the top of his voice.
"Let's go!" meowed Icy River as she ran off.

After a long day, Icy River curled up in her nest. Purring joyfully, she tucked her kittens closer to her and slept happily.
