Lightpaw burst out of the brush which lined the RiverClan border beyond the marsh. She tripped on a stone and tumbled a tail-length or two before leaping back onto her legs using the acquired speed, as if she hadn't stopped running.
The cream she-cat halted abruptly and stood on the small river's edge, her long legs quivering. Her silhouette outlined against the sky resembled much that of an Ancient Clan cat. Her whole body shivered in joy, relishing the memory of the wind in her fur and the muscles bunching and releasing.
At last, when her heartbeat calmed down, Lightpaw bent down to lap at the cool water. She swivelled her ears towards the forest, listening for her friend Brackenpaw.
