Firestar's Quest/Chapter 14

==Chapter description==
:Firestar and Sandstorm slowly travel upstream. Firestar feels no need to start a conversation, and he feels at peace with Sandstorm next to him. As the sun sets, Firestar offers to hunt for prey and rest. Sandstorm barks at the tom jokingly, and they proceed with a hunt. They catch a vole and find a comfortable sleeping area. 
:Firestar wakes up standing on the riverbank. He notices that Sandstorm is no longer with him and that a large group of cats are on the other side of the river. He sees a couple kits and elders wailing about their journey. A gray queen tries to reassure the kits, but to no avail. She reminds them that their original camp is destroyed. Firestar spots the familiar SkyClan leader as he asks his medicine cat, Fawnstep, if they are traveling the right way. A kit darts right for the ginger tom, but he notices that none of the cats can see him. Multiple cats say they can't continue the journey but trot down the path anyway. They try to reassure each other, expressing that their new camp will be better than living in the forest. Firestar watches as the SkyClan cats use their strong back legs to jump incredibly high to catch prey. The group of cats eat and continue their path. Firestar vows that he will find a remanence to SkyClan.
:The two ginger cats continue their journey and notice the part of the river where Sandstorm was swept away. Firestar mentions that they should look for signs of the old SkyClan cats. Sandstorm suggests they look for border markers, but the leader admits the Clan disbanded. They continue their journey and view jagged hills, similar to the WindClan moorlands or Highstones. They find another stretch of Twoleg nests in front of them and plan to go around it. They stop at a thin Thunderpath. They quickly run across and follow up the river once more. They notice a couple of Twoleg kits playing in the water, but the kits quickly spot them and start running toward the cats. Firestar beckons them to run, but the kits don't continue their pursuit. 
:Firestar and Sandstorm walk around the Twoleg kits and find a nearby waterfall once they are out of reach. Firestar relaxes while the tiny water droplets splash his fur, while Sandstorm catches a fish within the pool of water. The two cats quickly eat the fish before attempting to find a place to rest for the night. They find a nearby stone covered in moss and try to climb it. Firestar offers Sandstorm help to climb the rock, but she snaps at the tom. Firestar finds a nice patch of sand to rest in, and the two cats fall into a deep sleep. 
:Firestar wakes up and realizes his mate is no longer by his side. He quickly jumps up and notices Sandstorm heading toward him. She admits she can't find any prey nearby. They begin their trip again, and Sandstorm tracks the air for the faintest trace of prey. As they head to the gorge, the ginger she-cat notices rabbits nearby, but Firestar suggests hunting elsewhere. The pair sniff out a couple of cats nearby, but their scent is different from SkyClan's. Sandstorm spots a piece of bark with long claw marks scorched into it. They find a half-eaten rabbit on their trail and realize these cats are rogues. Sandstorm asks if these rogues could be SkyClan descendants, but Firestar doesn't respond. As they walk through the moor, Sandstorm catches a nearby rabbit, and they share the piece of prey. They thank each other for accompanying one another on the journey and continue to find the SkyClan cats. 
:Firestar wakes in a dream and notices that he is in a different area than where he was asleep. He can hear and smell nearby SkyClan cats and quickly leaves the den to investigate. Firestar notices he's invisible to the ancient cats as they head on their daily patrols. The SkyClan cats seem comfortable in their new home, and the ginger tom wakes from his slumber. He notices a nearby mouse and catches it for his mate. They begin their journey again, and Sandstorm says that the river has vanished.
