Kestrelflight/History

==History==
===In the Power of Three arc===
====The Sight====
:Kestrelpaw is the new WindClan medicine cat apprentice training under Barkface. Littlecloud of ShadowClan asks Barkface where Kestrelpaw is. The WindClan medicine cat replies that he has come down with whitecough, but he will recover because he is young and strong.
:After the young apprentice recovers, he is sent to ThunderClan, along with Weaselfur, to ask Leafpool and her apprentice, Jaypaw, for herbs to heal greencough, which has swept through WindClan's camp. Although ThunderClan has none to spare, Squirrelflight suggests going and asking Mothwing of RiverClan for some. Leafpool goes with the two WindClan cats to RiverClan's territory, and they obtain the herbs from Mothwing, who has plenty to spare.
====Dark River====
:He, along with Willowpaw and Jaypaw, travel to the Moonpool along with their mentors. Although Jaypaw tries to slow down so the other apprentices can keep up, Kestrelpaw stays behind, talking with Willowpaw the entire time.
:He seems to be in awe at the amount of meltwater at the Moonpool, saying it could hold every star in the sky.
====Outcast====
:At the half-moon Gathering, he walks with Jaypaw, asking him what it is like to be blind. Despite being a little annoyed, Jaypaw answers the question, and tells the WindClan cat that everything is dark. Although this does not affect his other senses, like hearing and scenting, Jaypaw briefly says that he manages to find his way around okay. When Kestrelpaw sympathizes with the young cat, Jaypaw gets angry with him.
====Eclipse====
:Barkface does not bring Kestrelpaw with him to the next half-moon meeting, stating to the other medicine cats that he had trodden on a thorn and had to stay in camp, though Jaypaw suspects that he stayed behind to keep from being asked any difficult questions about the prey-stealing by Leafpool.
====Long Shadows====
:Jaypaw enters Kestrelpaw's dream with the intent of finding out where the supply of catmint is on WindClan territory. Kestrelpaw treats Jaypaw with kindness, not suspecting Jaypaw's true intention. He brags that WindClan's territory holds many herbs, even though it looks barren. He goes on to tell Jaypaw that they have plenty of catmint, even showing him where it is. A rabbit then appears, and Kestrelpaw chases after it, allowing Jaypaw a chance to get away from him.
:At the next half-moon meeting, he watches Jaypaw receive his medicine cat name, Jayfeather. It is noted by Jayfeather that he looks just like Owl Feather.
====Sunrise====
:He is at the next Moonpool meeting with his mentor, Barkface. They wait for Jayfeather to catch up to them, not mentioning anything about Sol, a cat who the Clans believe to be traitorous and that ThunderClan is keeping prisoner.
===In the Omen of the Stars arc===
====The Fourth Apprentice====
:At the Gathering, Kestrelflight appears nervous after Onestar had announced the death of Barkface, making Kestrelflight the sole medicine cat of WindClan.
====Fading Echoes====
:On the way to the half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight and Flametail tease Littlecloud about him getting old.
====Night Whispers====
:Kestrelflight is with the other medicine cats at the Moonpool. He is walking with Barkface, the former WindClan medicine cat. When Daisytail tells him that there will be a time where they must stand and fight, he reminds her that medicine cats follow a different code than warriors. Then, when Barkface says that he should trust his ancestors instead of the other Clans, he looks ruffled, and says that Tallstar had never seen weakness in allying with other Clans. This reminds Kestrelflight of Tallstar's close friendship with Firestar.
====Sign of the Moon====
:Kestrelflight is at the Gathering crouched under a thorn bush, eyes narrowed as if he was giving the whole Gathering a suspicious glare and is keeping strictly to his own Clan as all the medicine cats are at that Gathering. That worries Dovewing because medicine cats do not usually have boundaries that warriors have.
:Kestrelflight is later heard by Dovewing. He is trying to save Antpelt's life but although he tries, Antpelt dies of his injuries from the Dark Forest.
====The Forgotten Warrior====
:Kestrelflight is at the Gathering, sitting apart with the other medicine cats but not talking to or acknowledging the others, save for Mothwing who attempts to talk but is quickly put down.
:At a later Gathering, Kestrelflight is, again, sitting with the other medicine cats but not speaking. When Jayfeather is accused of murdering Flametail, Kestrelflight and the others agree that Jayfeather should be suspended from being ThunderClan's medicine cat until he is proven innocent. Jayfeather retorts by revealing that he is aware that the other medicine cats have been visited by their ancestors and told that their Clans need to stand alone against the coming darkness, refusing to give up his position as a medicine cat.
====The Last Hope====
:Kestrelflight is found by Jayfeather and Flametail when the latter decides to finally tell the other medicine cats that Jayfeather did not kill him. As he starts to fade away and wake up in WindClan's camp, Kestrelflight promises to meet the rest of the medicine cats at the Moonpool.
:He expresses disbelief when Jayfeather warns him about the Dark Forest cats, saying they can fight off a few mangy dead cats. He is even more shocked when Jayfeather tells him that they've been training Clanmates and they could strike anyday, believing that his Clanmates would never turn against their own Clan.
:He is also seen when the four Clan leaders and their medicine cats meet on the island to reveal the prophecy. Kestrelflight tells Onestar that the medicine cats have seen their enemy, but the leaders and other Clan members have not.
===In the A Vision of Shadows arc===
====The Apprentice's Quest====
:At the half-moon meeting, the medicine cats share a dream at the Moonpool. StarClan appears to them, and Kestrelflight warmly greets his former mentor, Barkface. When Leopardstar prods Firestar to share their message, Kestrelflight wonders if it is best for each of the medicine cats to speak with their own Clanmates, as there may be things to discuss that are private to their Clans. However, Barkface gently disagrees, explaining that they have a prophecy that concerns all of the Clans.
:During the Gathering, when Rowanstar announces that the medicine cats have something to say to all of the Clans. The medicine cats confer together rapidly before Kestrelflight leaps up onto one of the oak roots beside the deputies. He announces that they all shared a vision with a prophecy: Embrace what you find in the shadows, for only they can clear the sky. Harespring, WindClan's deputy, asks what he means by that, but Kestrelflight replies that they do not know.
:Later, when Alderpaw makes the journey to the Moonpool for the half-moon meeting, Leafpool introduces Alderpaw as their new apprentice. Kestrelflight is particularly shocked, and he says that the last thing he would have thought that ThunderClan needed was another medicine cat, but Leafpool replies that they do not question the will of StarClan.
====Thunder and Shadow ====
:At the half-moon medicine cat meeting, Kestrelflight is escorted to the Moonpool by Gorsetail and Sedgewhisker. He apologizes for bringing them, explaining that Onestar ordered it. He comments that Onestar does not seem to trust anyone anymore, and Kestrelflight wonders if there is more he could do to help his leader. He describes how Onestar is paranoid, enforcing every single rule in the warrior code, and everyone is on edge trying not to be punished. Jayfeather jokes about putting poppy seeds in Onestar's prey, and Kestrelflight relaxes for the first time since his arrival. After awaking from their dreams, no cat seems to have spoken with StarClan. Kestrelflight's escorts arrive, and he sends good wishes towards the other medicine cats as he leaves the hollow.
:Later, ShadowClan is in need of a herb, lungwort, to help cure a sickness that their other medicine cannot. They go to WindClan for help, but Onestar denies them access. Kestrelflight begs his leader to let Puddleshine gather herbs in their territory, but the brown tabby does not change his mind.
:At the Gathering, Alderpaw asks Kestrelflight if he would let an entire Clan die. Panic sharpens his gaze, but Onestar is glowering at him. He hoarsely says that he must stay loyal to his Clan.
:Days later, Bramblestar says he wants Alderpaw and Leafpool to travel to WindClan and speak with Kestrelflight. Leafpool says that having Kestrelflight's support on giving up lungwort might help persuade Onestar too. In Kestrelflight's den, he asks Leafpool if Onestar knows they are here, saying he will not be pleased. Kestrelflight lowers his voice, saying that the leader does not even trust his own Clanmates anymore after Furzepelt's death and the mysterious sickness at the lake. Kestrelflight is shocked and sympathetic to learn that ShadowClan is holding Twigpaw until they get the herb, but the WindClan medicine is hesitant to help, knowing that Onestar would disapprove. Leafpool presses Kestrelflight to follow his path as a medicine cat, but Kestrelflight instead ushers them to Onestar. Onestar denies their request for the herb, and Kestrelflight offers no help to the situation, as he is seen backing away from the leader.
:During the next half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight arrives with Harespring. Kestrelflight announces that he might have a peaceful solution about the lungwort, but he must speak with StarClan before he shares it with the others. After waking up from their dreams, Kestrelflight tells the others to follow him, yowling to Harespring that StarClan has approved of his plan. Kestrelflight reveals that he and Harespring will show the other medicine cats where the lungwort is, and they're allowed to gather as much as they need. The next day, the ThunderClan apprentice tells Jayfeather that he hopes Kestrelflight does not get in trouble.
:At the Gathering, Rowanstar reveals that his Clan has only recovered due to the facts that Kestrelflight and Harespring had enough compassion to give them lungwort. The medicine cat shrinks beneath his pelt. He tells Onestar that StarClan had approved the idea. At the Moonpool, Kestrelflight wonders if Puddleshine will be there too.
====Shattered Sky====
:During a Gathering, Kestrelflight joins Alderheart, Jayfeather, Mothwing and Willowshine below the Great Oak. Alderheart flashes him an awkward glance and the other medicine cats ignore him, since WindClan fled when the Clans were about to win the battle against the Kin, causing them to lose. Embarrassed, Kestrelflight sits down a tail-length away without saying anything.
:Arriving at the Moonpool, Alderheart is surprised to see Kestrelflight and Puddleshine are not there waiting for them. Leafpool wants to give them a chance to come but Jayfeather does not believe they will. In the end, the cats do not turn up.
:During the next half-moon, Alderheart wishes Kestrelflight is coming but knows there is no point in getting him from WindClan.
:When Onestar reveals he has one life left and fears going to the Dark Forest, Kestrelflight winces and tightly closes his eyes. He agrees with Rowanstar that saving his Clan from his kin will not send him to the Dark Forest. He explains only cats who have given themselves up to evil go to the Dark Forest; Onestar is not one of those. Kestrelflight explains to the leader that he could have told him this a while ago if he trusted him enough to be honest with him.
:After Onestar's death, Kestrelflight speaks the words that would guide Onestar to StarClan. He explains that the leader had a noble death and made up for his mistakes when he rid the Clans of Darktail.
====Darkest Night====
:Kestrelflight is present at the Gathering. He sits beside the other medicine cats, hunched and stiff, gazing uneasily at the Clans.
:He joins the other medicine cats at the half-moon to share with StarClan at the Moonpool. They wait for Willowshine and Mothwing to arrive, but they do not show up. Kestrelflight meows that they were probably ordered to stay away, and adds that Onestar did that to him when he cut ties with the other Clans. He looks apologetically at the others, saying he had wanted to come, and asks if they are aware of that. Puddleshine asks if StarClan shared dreams with him when he could not come, and Kestrelflight looks at his paws, admitting they did not. He says that he thinks they were angry at him for staying away, but he had to stay with his Clan. He glances at the others, asking if he was right; Leafpool agrees.
:After Puddleshine and the others finish discussing SkyClan's lack of a medicine cat, Kestrelflight moves closer to the water, and the others follow his lead and crouch close to the edge of the pool. The medicine cats all share a dream. Firestar and Crookedstar are present, and are dismayed to see RiverClan's medicine cats are not among the others. When the former ThunderClan leader tells Leafpool that they must bring RiverClan back to the Clans, Leafpool exchanges an anxious glance with Kestrelflight. The WindClan medicine cat shrugs, saying that once a leader has made up her mind, it is hard even for a medicine cat to change it. He looks at Firestar, adding they will come back in their own time, just like WindClan did. Kestrelflight dips his head low as he catches sight of his former leader, greeting Onestar, and the medicine cat threads his way among his ancestors.
:Alderheart and Jayfeather had sent messengers to the camps of ShadowClan and WindClan to arrange a meeting with the Clans medicine cats. Kestrelflight and Puddleshine are waiting of the lakeshore, standing beside the new SkyClan border. The ThunderClan cats join them and discuss the prophecy. As they talk, Kestrelflight says that Harestar says that they have seen nothing but dark skies in the past few moons, and he fears the prophecy is warning them that the situation may get worse, and that he has stepped up patrols. He wonders if StarClan has shared the prophecy with Willowshine and Mothwing, and Alderheart reminds Kestrelflight that they did not share with him when Onestar cut WindClan off from the other Clans. Kestrelflight shrugs, suggesting they might have blamed him for not trying to help enough.
:The medicine cats go to SkyClan's camp to get Leafstar's opinion. While they're there, Kestrelflight pads forward and tells SkyClan's leader that Harestar has stepped up patrols. They then decide to visit RiverClan to speak with Mistystar. They meet a RiverClan patrol, they are hostile and do not want the medicine cats to come into their camp and they begin to argue.
:He is at the next Gathering, sitting beside Leafpool. Puddleshine appears nervous, and Alderheart glances questioningly at the WindClan medicine cat, but Kestrelflight only shrugs and asks what caused Snowbush's infection. Alderheart explains and Kestrelflight's eyes widen, and he asks if he thought about the prophecy. Alderheart returns his gaze, saying he does not know, but he hopes they will find the six-toed cat. Before the Gathering officially begins, Kestrelflight glances at the empty space beside them, whispering that it feels strange without Willowshine and Mothwing.
:Later, upon Leafpool's word, Kestrelflight and the other medicine cats meet on SkyClan's shore near the RiverClan border where they meet Frecklewish, Fidgetpaw, and Tree, who makes the spirits of the ShadowClan cats Darktail killed appear.
====River of Fire====
:Alderheart goes searching for watermint, but notices there is none left at the border stream. He finds very little and thinks that Kestrelflight must have taken it all due to WindClan suffering from the belly sickness. The ThunderClan medicine cat later goes to the RiverClan border to collect more, and a WindClan patrol joins with them, saying that Kestrelflight will be pleased to have an additional bundle.
:At the half-moon meeting, Jayfeather, annoyed that Kestrelflight is late, asks if he has seen Mothwing or Willowshine. Kestrelflight replies no, and so they decide not to wait any longer. Kestrelflight reports that six cats in WindClan are ill with the belly sickness, and their supplies of watermint are used up. Leafpool asks Kestrelflight to keep in touch about the sickness and Kestrelflight agrees.
:The medicine cats meet with StarClan in their dreams, and when they wake, realize that they have all been given the same message. Kestrelflight meows that Lioneye came to him, talking about approaching shadows, and how they should not be dispelled. He thinks that this means to accept returning ShadowClan cats, and listen to what they have to say. The WindClan tom mews that this is the best news StarClan has given them in a while.
:At another medicine cat half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight learns of Tigerheart's resurrection to become Tigerstar. Astonished, he asks how Tigerstar came back to life.
====The Raging Storm====
:At the medicine meeting, Kestrelflight is the last to arrive. The medicine cats have a shared vision of five saplings withstanding the wind united. Kestrelflight is unsure which Clan it could be referring to, but Frecklewish snaps that it is obvious since ShadowClan is trying to evict SkyClan from their former territory. Realizing that the Clans will be destroyed if SkyClan leaves, Kestrelflight and the other medicine cats agree to summon their leaders for an emergency meeting. At the Gathering, Kestrelflight and the others urge the Clans to remain united.
===In The Broken Code arc===
====Lost Stars====
:At the half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight asks if the other medicine cats have any catmint to spare, and Willowshine offers to share some. Kestrelflight is shocked when the Moonpool freezes over. At the next meeting, Kestrelflight remarks how the strong winds have dislocated Larkwing's shoulder when she lost her balance. When the medicine cats are unable to communicate with StarClan, Kestrelflight suggest they should end the meeting and the weather might warm up later. When StarClan is still silent at the next meeting, Kestrelflight disagrees with Jayfeather that the Clans should prepare for life without StarClan. During the Gathering, Kestrelflight is skeptical that Shadowpaw, a ShadowClan cat, is the only cat to communicate with StarClan.
====The Silent Thaw====
:Kestrelflight attends Shadowpaw's full name ceremony. He is insistent that StarClan will resume communication with them now that the Moonpool is thawing, and is disturbed when they are still silent. At a Gathering, he proudly cheers on Shadowsight's name. Kestrelflight reports that StarClan remains silent and suspects StarClan has nothing to share. At the next half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight is suspicious of Shadowsight's previous vision. 
====Veil of Shadows====
:Kestrelflight and the other medicine cats wait for Puddleshine and Shadowsight to arrive at the Moonpool. Puddleshine arrives, and is surprised not to see Shadowsight with them. The medicine cats decide to go looking for him, but lose his scent among crushed catmint. Rootpaw summons Bramblestar's ghost and reveals the truth about Bramblestar's impostor, though Kestrelflight believes Rootpaw is pulling their leg. He and Willowshine withhold telling their leaders about the impostor due to Harestar and Mistystar siding with the impostor to exile codebreakers. Kestrelflight does eventually tell Harestar, but Harestar is hesitant to believe his medicine cat since Rootspring and Shadowsight are both known for being odd.
====Darkness Within====
:When Leafstar asks if Ashfur has disrupted communication with StarClan, Kestrelflight believes that to be impossible, as no cat can be more powerful than StarClan. Jayfeather disagrees, arguing that no cat has merely tried before. When Rootspring and Tree inform the Clans that the spirits of their fallen warriors might be in trouble, Kestrelflight wonders how they can help them without StarClan's guidance and scoffs at the idea of allowing the Sisters to help them.
:At the half-moon meeting, StarClan still remains silent and Kestrelflight wonders if the Clans themselves have strayed too far from the warrior code and caused StarClan's silence. He questions if Shadowsight really visited the Dark Forest to free Bramblestar's spirit, and as the cats move on to share news, Kestrelflight reveals intentions to train Whistlepaw after she helped him treat Emberfoot's whitecough. Alderheart and Willowshine question if Kestrelflight's idea without StarClan's approval, but the WindClan medicine cat remains firm on his decision. Later, Kestrelflight witnesses the Sister's attempts to summon the ghosts of their fallen Clanmates, only for the ghosts to appear mutilated and in pain. As the Clans discuss how to proceed, Kestrelflight agrees they must kill Ashfur to relinquish his control over the spirits.
====The Place of No Stars====
:Bristlefrost brings a message to Kestrelflight to meet at the Moonpool after Squirrelflight is kidnapped by Ashfur. Kestrelflight agrees, and he, Crowfeather, and Bristlefrost head to the Moonpool. The medicine cats attempt to communicate with StarClan again.
====A Light in the Mist====
:After Ashfur's defeat, Kestrelflight comments to the other medicine cats how he hopes StarClan will approve his choice to train Whistlepaw. After sharing dreams with StarClan, Kestrelflight is pleased that StarClan has agreed. He also apologizes for mistreating Shadowsight.
===In the A Starless Clan arc===
====River====
:Kestrelflight is now training Whistlepaw. Mothwing introduces Kestrelflight and Whistlepaw to her new apprentice Frostpaw. At the next Moonpool meeting, Jayfeather asks Kestrelflight if he has eaten any good voles lately, referencing how Hootwhisker stole a vole from ThunderClan's territory, and Kestrelflight is not amused. He is confused to learn that RiverClan has sent a patrol to WindClan, SkyClan, ThunderClan, and ShadowClan asking about Reedwhisker's whereabouts, though Mothwing does not provide a direct answer. He and the other medicine cats introduce the new warrior code to StarClan to approve.
====Sky====
:During a catmint supply shortage, the medicine cats agree to send a joint-Clan patrol to find more catmint. Since Mothwing and Kestrelflight both have young apprentices, the medicine cats agree to send representatives from the other Clans. Later, Tigerstar asks Kestrelflight to show him his catmint, but the WindClan medicine cat shows the ShadowClan leader the shriveled patches on the moor. Later, Frostpaw recalls that Kestrelflight mentioned how shaken Harestar had been after his leader ceremony.
====Shadow====
:When Frostpaw suggests speaking to Whistlepaw, Splashtail wonders why she cannot speak with Kestrelflight instead.
====Thunder====
:When Whistlepaw finds Frostpaw gravely wounded on the moor, Whistlepaw wants to fetch her mentor but Frostpaw begs her not to. Whistlepaw lies to her mentor that she is gathering new herbs while she tends to Frostpaw's wounds. Later, Whistlepaw lies to the Gathering that Frostpaw has died. Kestrelflight urges his apprentice to share the news at the Gathering, with the senior medicine cat confirming that he found Frostpaw's scent on the moor.
====Wind====
:When Frostpaw reappears at the Gathering, Whistlepaw explains how she treated her friend at the horseplace, Kestrelflight is flabbergasted that his apprentice lied to him. At the half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight argues that they should ask StarClan about Splashtail and Podlight, and if StarClan has nothing to say, then they will have their answer. Jayfeather is inclined to agree but points out that Splashtail has not received his nine lives yet.
:When Sunbeam is caught by WindClan trespassing, she chats with Whistlepaw, who explains that Kestrelflight confined her to camp as her punishment. After being prompted by a dream of a tree destroying WindClan's nursery, Frostpaw rushes to speak with Kestrelflight. While Kestrelflight is skeptical about her visions, he promises to see that WindClan's kits will be safe during the coming storm.
:As the storm approaches, Kestrelflight and the other WindClan cats evacuate the nursery, but Leafkit is trapped beneath the fallen tree. As Frostpaw, Nightheart, and Sunbeam arrive to help, Kestrelflight attempts to call his apprentice back from the fallen tree. After Frostpaw convinces Whistlepaw to retreat, Kestrelflight orders Whistlepaw to their den to treat her wounds. After treating his apprentice, Kestrelflight acknowledges that she is badly hurt but notes that none of this would have happened if he had listened to Frostpaw's warning. He apologizes for doubting her and later apologizes again to Whistlepaw and Frostpaw.
====Star====
:When Frostpaw swims to WindClan, Sedgewhisker tells her that she will ask Kestrelflight to give her a nest in the medicine den. After getting to camp, Harestar tells Sedgewhisker to have Kestrelflight take a look at Frostpaw and fetch her a nest. At the Gathering, Frecklewish informs the Clans that she and Kestrelflight had the same vision: 'if the frost cannot stay, the river will dry.' When Harestar suggests sending a medicine cat to RiverClan, he tells the Clans that WindClan cannot spare Kestrelflight with Whistlepaw gone. 
:After Whistlepaw returns home, Frostpaw and Mothwing join her and Kestrelflight at the Moonpool to give Whistlepaw and Frostpaw their full medicine-cat names. They exchange news about their Clans, and Kestrelflight begins the ceremony. He honors Whistlepaw's training and abilities and calls upon their warrior ancestors to bestow her with the name Whistlebreeze.

====The Elders' Quest====
:
===In the Super Editions===
====Onestar's Confession====
:Onestar calls upon Kestrelflight to share his vision about the flooded tunnels with the rest of the Gathering. Later, when the stoats attack WindClan's camp, Kestrelflight tugs Crouchfoot away from the battle into his den. Kestrelflight provides herbs for Onestar's trip to the Moonpool, though Onestar actually visits the old forest to find Smoke and Darktail. 
:After searching the tunnels for whatever captured Smokekit, Breezepelt tells Onestar that Kestrelflight is looking over Smokekit, and the medicine cat kicked him out for hovering. Kestrelflight squeezes marigold juices on her wounds and suggests that the young kit should stay in the den that night. However, Onestar fears that it was Darktail who took Smokekit, and the Clan leader insists on keeping his granddaughter in the leader's den. Onestar feared telling Kestrelflight his secret about Darktail and Smoke, worried that his medicine cat would inform the rest of the Clan. After sharing dreams with StarClan, Onestar is prepared to step down and leave the Clan, resolving to tell Kestrelflight first, but he is shocked to see Fernpaw in Kestrelflight's den. 
:Kestrelflight attempts to reason with Onestar when Tigerheart asks for lungwort, but Onestar dismisses his medicine cat's claims. Later, Leafpool and Alderpaw attempt to reason with Kestrelflight, but Onestar again refuses to help ShadowClan. Onestar reminds Kestrelflight of where his loyalties lie. In an attempt to convince Onestar, Kestrelflight seeks out his daughter Heathertail to persuade her father. Onestar discovers his motives and yowls at his medicine cat. Later, Onestar is enraged when he discovers that Kestrelflight and Harespring provided lungwort to ShadowClan without his consent. 
:After WindClan closes its borders, Kestrelflight tells Onestar that he should not fear losing his last life. Onestar ponders about telling his medicine cat about his secret, but he resolves to himself that there is nothing Kestrelflight can do. Unconvinced at his leader's dismissal, Kestrelflight urges his leader to let him know if he needs anything. Later that day, Kestrelflight asks Onestar for permission to treat Curlfeather and Duskfur, who have escaped from the Kin's RiverClan prison. When Onestar reveals his secret, Kestrelflight urges his Clan leader that he should've told him the truth earlier. As he dies, Onestar sees Kestrelflight at the Moonpool meeting surrounded by their ancestors.
====Crowfeather's Trial====
:At the half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight has a vision from StarClan. The following morning, Kestrelflight shares his vision with the rest of the Clan: strong wind keeps dark water at bay in the tunnels, until the wind dies down and floods unleash. Kestrelflight wonders if it means trouble for WindClan lurking in the tunnels. Later, Onestar prompts Kestrelflight to tell the other Clans about his vision. Bramblestar questions why Onestar did not share the vision earlier when the tunnels lead into ThunderClan's territory and a pack of stoats has moved into the tunnels. After Crowfeather dreams of Breezepelt, Hawkfrost, and the Great Battle, he tells his dream to Kestrelflight. They discuss Kestrelflight's vision, with Crowfeather wondering if the dream implies they require help from the other Clans.
:Kestrelflight treats Breezepelt's injuries from the stoats while Crowfeather watches over him. The medicine cat is shocked at the black warrior's wounds. Later, Crowfeather and Breezepelt help Featherpaw into Kestrelflight's den. When Emberfoot and Sedgewhisker argue with Crowfeather about letting their daughter fight in the battle, Kestrelflight ushers them all to leave. Later, Crowfeather offers to watch over Featherpaw while Kestrelflight treats the other injuries. Later, Onestar requests Crowfeather to escort Kestrelflight to the half-moon meeting. Crowfeather asks Kestrelflight how he knows if his dreams mean anything, and the medicine cat ponders that perhaps dreams can mean something we're trying to tell ourselves. Crowfeather asks if he's seen Ashfoot in StarClan yet, but Kestrelflight admits he has not yet. He is worried about their Clanmates' hostile treatment of Breezepelt, recalling the rumors that the black warrior killed Nightcloud. Recalling how Jayfeather found Flametail's spirit to prove his innocence, Kestrelflight attempts to find Nightcloud's spirit in StarClan. Instead, Barkface tells Kestrelflight that Nightcloud is not in StarClan, prompting Crowfeather to believe that his former mate is alive.
:When they arrive back in camp, Kestrelflight is delighted to see that Featherpaw is awake. After the stoat attack, Onestar orders Heathertail to help Kestrelflight with the injuries. Nightcloud also volunteers to help. After Onestar berates Crowfeather for walking the thin line between betrayal and being difficult, he orders the senior warrior to also help Kestrelflight. Noticing Kestrelflight struggling with all the injuries, Crowfeather suggests seeking help from another Clan. Mothwing and Leafpool arrive to help with herbs, though Leafpool helps Crowfeather to Kestrelflight's den when the latter is attacked by a stoat. Kestrelflight thanks Crowfeather for convincing Onestar and leaves Leafpool and Crowfeather alone in the den. During the final battle against stoats, Kestrelflight, Leafpool, and Jayfeather treat the injured from the gorse bushes. 
:Kestrelflight treats Breezepelt's grave injury from the battle, and he snaps at Nightcloud and Crowfeather to leave his den so he can properly treat Breezepelt. Crowfeather notes how the medicine cat is not usually snappy unless he is worried. Later, Kestrelflight seems positive that Breezepelt will heal, but the wound on his belly gets infected, prompting Kesterlflight to worry. The medicine cat is out of burdock root to treat the infection. Nightcloud fervently asks Crowfeather to request Leafpool for burdock root, prompting Kestrelflight to be embarrassed at the reminder of the WindClan tom's affection for Leafpool. Jayfeather provides Crowfeather some burdock root, and Kestrelflight immediately applies it to Breezepelt's wound. 
====Squirrelflight's Hope====
:When Bramblestar and Squirrelflight arrive in WindClan's camp, Kestrelflight comes out from his den and nods to them respectfully. Later at a Gathering, Kestrelflight chants Leafpool's name and hopes she will find peace in StarClan.
====Ivypool's Heart====
:Kestrelflight, Hootwhisker, and Heathertail arrive in ThunderClan's camp. The WindClan medicine cat shares how his apprentice has received a disturbing vision and is calling an emergency medicine cat meeting that night. At the emergency Gathering, Kestrelflight urges his apprentice to share her dream with the leaders. Kestrelflight explains how StarClan did not send the dream but were vaguely familiar with it. 
:Later, Galestar mentions how she sent the dream to Whistlepaw instead of Kestrelflight because she is more open to new ideas. During Stalk Purr's kitting, Whistlepaw relies on what her mentor has taught her to save Pounce.
===In the Novellas===
====Mistystar's Omen====
:When Mothwing instructs her apprentice, Willowshine, on what to say to the other medicine cats at the Moonpool, she tells her to ask Kestrelflight if Tornear's cough has cleared up, with the help of a poultice of bright-eye and lovage.
====Mothwing's Secret====
:Before the Great Battle begins, Mothwing reflects how crazy it was that StarClan told the other medicine cats to keep away from the other Clans and that the medicine cats were following their instructions.
====Dovewing's Silence====
:Kestrelflight accompanies Onestar to the meeting to discuss the fate of the cats who trained with the Dark Forest. Joining the medicine cat and his leader is Breezepelt, looking as if he did nothing wrong.
