Tallstar's Revenge/Chapter 25

==Chapter description==
:A quarter moon has passed since Palebird had kitted. Talltail peeks into the nursery, excited to check on his kin and offer Palebird and Meadowslip a mouse. Palebird wakes as he leans in, but quickly shoos him away, scolding him over making the kits excited over the Gathering so they didn't sleep. Stung, he leaves for the dawn patrol with Cloudrunner, Appledawn, and Hareflight, heading across WindClan territory towards Fourtrees to hunt. The patrol splits into two groups, with Talltail and Appledawn hunting closer towards the RiverClan border. 
:Cloudrunner spots two dark pelts in the bushes at the border, and the patrol decides to keep an eye on them. Appledawn mentions that she hopes they'll find a rabbit, though Talltail's frustration grows at the inability to hunt in the tunnels beneath their territory. The two cats decide to re-mark the border, but a RiverClan warrior disturbs them, crossing the border while hunting a rabbit, surprising Talltail, who watches as Brightsky and Piketooth work together to catch their prey. 
:Appledawn rushes forward, intent on catching the intruders, with Talltail overtaking her stride but slowing as he nears the two cats. He tells Brightsky and Piketooth to flee, feeling sorry for them as he takes in their dull pelts and hungry appearance. Appledawn scolds him for giving away the prey, and Talltail lies about them being too fast for him to catch. Cloudrunner and Hareflight meet up with them quickly after, irritated with Talltail for not thinking of their own clan first. 
:Heatherstar pulls Talltail aside when the patrol returns to camp, frustrated with his actions towards the RiverClanners. Assuming that there's something wrong, Heatherstar again explains that she's sorry he didn't get to become a tunneler like Sandgorse before reminding him he could always go to her or his former mentor, Dawnstripe. Once he leaves her den, he immediately runs into Barkface, who excitedly leads Talltail towards a spot where they can talk.
:Barkface reminds Talltail of a conversation they'd had prior regarding what could happen if Talltail thought his destiny led him beyond the clan. He then goes on to explain a sign he had been given on the moor that morning: a black and white tuft of fur that floated away when he picked it up. Talltail begins to worry, until Barkface clarifies what he'd meant: that it felt like something StarClan had sent, and that they potentially agreed with Talltail's plan. It's then that Talltail realizes Barkface simply wants him to be happy, and thanks the medicine cat for telling him before walking away to think about his friend's words. Talltail begins to grow excited over the possibility of avenging his father's death, despite his Clanmates not believing Sparrow had any part in it.
