Warrior's Return/Chapter 1

==Chapter description==
:Graystripe and Millie have finally arrived to the Clans' territory, but discover the surrounding forest and ThunderClan's camp destroyed by Twolegs. Graystripe wanders through his former home, now in ruins, and seeks comfort in the medicine cat's den. After Millie fetches bedding, Graystripe, in a stupor, explains the medicine cat's role in the Clan, and Millie comforts him. The following morning, Millie surprises Graystripe by wishing to continue his journey to find his Clan. Though Graystripe believes they have all been destroyed by the Twolegs, Millie encourages him that the warrior code still exists within the cats and isn't restricted to the land. Graystripe realizes she's right and admonishes himself for giving up too easily on his Clan. He catches a mouse and thanks StarClan for all the prey the forest had provided.
:Graystripe decides their next plan is to follow the setting sun, recalling how some of his Clanmates returned with a message that a dying warrior will show them the way to their new home. However, he wishes to scope out the destruction done to the other Clans' territories first. He is disgusted that the Twolegs removed the Fourtrees and ravaged the Clans' land to be left as a wasteland, but spots Barley's farm unscathed in the distance. Graystripe happily reunites with Ravenpaw, and is delighted to hear that Firestar and the other Clans survived the Twolegs' destruction. On their way to the barn, Ravenpaw explains how the Clans followed the setting sun after StarClan sent a shooting star—the dying warrior prophesized—over the horizon, but Graystripe worries about the time that has passed since then. Barley reunites with Graystripe and is introduced to Millie; he offers to hunt for her, but Millie refuses and quickly demonstrates her hunting abilities. Ravenpaw and Barley are impressed, and remark she'll fit in nicely in ThunderClan. The next morning, Ravenpaw and Barley accompany Graystripe and Millie as far as the Highstones, and Ravenpaw somberly remarks that Graystripe was his last connection to the forest.
