Firestar's Quest/Chapter 21

==Chapter description==
:Sky tells Firestar he believes the leader can rebuild SkyClan. Sky dips his head to the two cats and leaves. Sandstorm asks Firestar if they will continue his journey, but Firestar admits he needs time alone to think. The ginger tom goes for a hunt and recalls Tigerstar's bloodthirsty ambitions taking over RiverClan and ShadowClan. Firestar tries to convince himself that he can only be loyal to ThunderClan, but he shakes off the thoughts and continues with his hunt. He catches a glimpse of the familiar dark ginger tom and tries to run after him, but the tom does not wait and immediately runs away. Firestar forgets the cat and continues searching for prey. He feels eyes watching him and calls out into the open. He ignores the thoughts and attempts to catch a mouse but notices Cherry's fur in a nearby bush. He gives the kittypet's a show and catches another mouse before them. He can hear their silent praises and the leader finds a bird to catch. After catching a couple of pieces of prey, he calls out for the kittypets and asks if they would also like to hunt. 
:Cherry and Boris ask the ginger tom to teach them how to hunt. Firestar explains a little bit about the warrior code to the cats before agreeing. Firestar instructs them to smell the air for prey, and Cherry finds a mouse. The she-cat attempts to stalk it but sneezes on the grass. Firestar lets the two cats practice until he spots a squirrel on the tree. He asks the two cats to catch it, and they successfully use their hindlegs to kill it. Firestar mentions how their ancestors have strong hindlegs, but he stops himself from saying anything about SkyClan. Firestar leaves them to eat their piece of prey and heads back to the gorge. 
:Firestar tells his mate about the encounter with the kittypets. Sandstorm asks if he invited them to join SkyClan. Firestar disagrees and reminds her that he has not made his decision yet. The ginger she-cat tries to convince the tom that he must rebuild the Clan. Firestar tells her that Cherry and Boris would make fine warriors, even though they know nothing about Clan life. He admits that he will think about his decision and asks StarClan for guidance.
