Re: The Shadowledge
Goldenstep took in a deep breath to steady her nerves. Maybe it was the pregnancy setting her emotions off. The thought of a battle, especially one so risky and inflammatory, left a heavy pit of dread in her stomach. She knew Elmshadow would be fine; there's no way some guppy could do any real damage to him. But the what-ifs wouldn't ease in her mind.
She nodded resolutely. She was due soon but she would do what she could to keep her mind too busy to worry about Elmshadow or her clan, the future of her kits. She'd make herself useful. "What would you like of the queens, Dawnstar?"

Pigeonkit ran from the nursery and weaved her way through the legs of warriors crowding the clearing. She'd heard Dawnstar mention battle and Riverclan. "I can fight, Dawnstar! I can! I'm ready! I'll show you, if you just give me a chance!" She squealed, desperately trying to pull her leader's attention.
