Brackenfur and Sorreltail grew closer during the Great Journey and eventually became mates. Their first litter of kits, Cinderkit, Honeykit, Poppykit, and Molekit, were born amidst a badger attack in ThunderClan's camp. They later had a second litter, Lilykit and Seedkit, shortly before the Great Battle that resulted in Sorreltail's death.
