The Blazing Star (book)/Chapter 14

==Chapter description==
:In the four trees hollow, Tall Shadow's and Clear Sky's groups gather, and River Ripple joins them with Gray Wing. The two cats explain to Thunder what happened, and Gray Wing says that he will be staying on the island temporarily to think about his place as a leader and what to do next. After Gray Wing apologizes for leaving without notice, Clear Sky calls the meeting together, and Thunder notices the golden tabby she-cat joining them again. Tall Shadow informs the cats of Morning Whisker's death, and many describe dead animals with similar symptoms. Cloud Spots is unable to offer a cure, but River Ripple recalls a time when rogues died from an illness, potentially caused by heat, and explains how separating seemed to help. Clear Sky suggests that One Eye could have helped, as he seemed to have information, but Lightning Tail shuts the idea down.
:Gray Wing says that the groups need to stay separate and establish boundaries, as it will help proper leaders rise to power. Tall Shadow remarks that she likes the marsh, and Thunder is upset at the idea of her leaving. She finally suggests that the groups stay as they are for now, and the others agree. As Thunder worries about splitting into more groups, he is approached by the golden tabby, who introduces herself as Star Flower and offers to train him to fight. She leaves, and he says that the groups should inform each other of strange cats, but Tall Shadow dismisses it. Thunder asks her if she truly likes the marsh, and she replies that she does. She tries to reaffirm that she is staying on the moor, but Thunder remains uneasy and distracts himself with thoughts of Star Flower.
