History: Shadepool and Ottershine were soul-mates from kithood. They grew up together, only a moon apart and were best friends. Nothing could separate them. They had the classic love story, he was the handsome noble tom and she was the beautiful, gentle she-cat, a perfect queen. They fell in love as they were warriors and became mates.

But Ottershine had competition from another tom named Mosspelt. He wouldn't leave Shadpool alone even though she had already chosen her mate. Ottershine and Mosspelt were arguing one night close to horseplace and things got a little rough. They got into a scuffle, nothing serious until Ottershine accidently tackled him onto a sharp twoleg object. He died instantly and Ottershine ran off, telling no one.

Soon, he moved on. They were both excited and ready to have kits. As they sat under the stars, her belly swollen, and talked about kits he promised he'd love and be proud of his kits no matter what. Of course, when he said this, he assumed his kits would be healthy and strong. He never dreamed of what would happen.

Nightkit was beautiful and seemingly perfect. Her parents were so proud, so happy, in love with her and each other. But as time passed, they realized something was horribly, horribly wrong. There little kit was running into things. Her eyes never focused and her pupils were huge, endlessly dialated circles. They didn't have the courage to ask her the one question that would answer everything. He had a sick feeling in his stomach that StarClan was punishing him for killing mosspelt and using his daughter to do so.

The Medicine Cat finally asked and their worst fears were confirmed. Nightkit was blind, her world as black as the night she was named for. The next day, Ottershine came in but he ignored his happy kit, talking quietly to his mate then leaving quickly without a glance in her direction. It didn't take long for Shadepool to jump to her kit's defense. It only took one arguement for moons of love to be split apart. Shadepool told him if he no longer loved her kit, he no longer loved her.

She was swamped in her grief and on some days wouldn't move but thanks to Nightkit's optimism and endless affection, not to mention her sister and, surprisingly, Ottershine's brother's kindness she's slowly getting better. She's very protective of her kit, trying to shield her from physical pain and from the prying eyes of her clanmates. One day, however, she'll have to let Nightkit grow up and find her own way.
