Pantherclaw's Birth

In the cool darkness of the underground tunnels, a queen was giving birth. "Come on, Tigerfrost..." purred the healing wolf. "You're doing fine." A ripple along her flank, and a dark ginger wolf slid out to rest by his mother. She started rapidly licking her new pup.

The pup let out a small sneeze, still unnamed. His long fur shook with this sneeze, which was cause by some sand up his nose. He sneezed a little more, finally stopping once he didn't have his nose pressed against the ground.

Tigerfrost chuckled, gently picking up her pup and placing it on a large broad leaf. Contemplating the pup's pelt, she decided on his name. "I name you Pantherclaw." she purred.
