Aratona bent over the unmoving shape of her second kit. Tears were streaming down her face. She kept licking it and licking it "Come on, wake up, why won't you just wake up!?" Her other kit was in the nest mewing but Aratona was too busy trying to revive her motionless kit.

Sekine wrapped his tail around Aratona's shoulders and licked her ear, his voice was cracked w ith grief. "I'm sorry honey, but I think she's gone. In the meantime you need to take care of your other kit."

Althaia ran next to Aratona she went over to the living kit, she wrapped it up gently in a small leaf. She licked the cat clean. She smiled and packed the kit in the small burrow Aratona made. She looked over at Aratona and the other baby.

Aratona padded over to the other kit but brought the dead one with her. She pushed them both towards her stomach in a desperate attempt to get it alive. She let her head fall back as she weeped.

Althaia started to weep, she went beside Aratona, she pressed her ear against the small kit. "Aratona, I am sorry. So sorry. But, the kits' heart stop. The kit cannot be saved." Althaia wiped the tears away and hugged Aratona, not getting away of the other baby.

Aratona looked at the kit then looked at the sky. Her voice was a whisper of grief "I turn this kit over to our warrior ancestors. She was too young to have joined you but take good care of her. I give her the name of Lunaria. May you live on forever in our hearts. Aratona licked her surviving kits head "Your name will be Rainlilica, and I will protect you forever."

Althaia looked at her friend, "Where do you want this little angel to be burried?" She asked sadly.

Aratona thought for a moment then looked up at her friend. "By the river, where the moon shines at moonhigh and all the crystals light up."

Aratona looked at her small living kit and carried it in a little leaf net, close to her heart. She stopped beside the river and looked up, it was almost moonhigh.
