Star (book)/Chapter 23

==Chapter description==
:Nightheart stands on a ridge, looking out over the lake and reflecting, enjoying the warmth of the sun. While thinking of his hunting patrol with Finchlight, Sparkpelt, and Sunbeam, he notes that Sunbeam is carrying his kits and had left camp with them for some exercise. He recalls the previous two peaceful Gatherings and how RiverClan has recovered well, with Icestar and Owlnose proving themselves capable and a good pair for leadership, and with Frostdawn seeming happy. Finchlight interrupts his thoughts, calling him back to the others to eat. They discuss potential names for the kits suggested by Finchlight and Sparkpelt, including Blaze, Ember, and Scorch, to Sunbeam's and Nightheart's amusement. Finchlight brings up the idea of honoring Berryheart with a name, but Sunbeam wishes to look to the future rather than the past, and Nightheart agrees, adding that their kits will be named for who they are. Sunbeam desires a daughter and the group happily teases each other. Nightheart offers silent thanks to StarClan for his new life, feeling satisfied and happy that he has proven himself to his Clan and kin and that he has a family of his own.
