What he does
Timberkit is first seen sleeping in the Nursery, before being awoken by Winterkit early as she tells him all about them having their Apprentice Ceremony day. After a day of well, kit stuff and talking to Sunnystone, Timberkit, alongside Winterkit and Aspenkit finally have their Apprentice Ceremony at Moonfall, before going to sleep.

When Timberpaw wakes up, he is trapped under water, panicking he tries to swim upward, doing so, he then hears the howls of kits, coughing up water, he forces himself under again, before snatching all 5 kits. Struggling over to a nearby rushing log, him and the kits are swept down stream. Nicknaming them, he calls each kit something based of their fur colors. Yellowandwhitekit, Brownkit, Graykit, Orangekit, and Patchkit. After trying to seek help from bypassing swimmers, the log hits a rock, sending everycat flying off it near by the gorge. Graykit is launched furthest away, and is pulled under the water again. Timberpaw struggles once again to save the cats that are only two moons younger than him, before him and the kits grab onto the bridge. Graykit misses however, and is flung off the gorge, Orangekit tries to go after him, but Timberpaw tells him that there is no hope for his brother, and that he would have a painless death when he hit the bottom. Dragging the remaining four up onto the bridge safely, he is rescued by Hunterclaw, who leads him and the kits, over the fence where it is safe. Where Timberpaw returns the kits to their mother, Goldenheart. After this, he is reunited with Winterpaw and Aspenpaw, and the two introduce all the surviving apprentices to him.
