The Raging Storm/Chapter 13

==Chapter description==
:Burying the deathberries, Alderheart hopes that Tigerstar will let him go to the half-moon meeting at the Moonpool, as the ThunderClan medicine cat wants to share the news of Puddleshine recovering, slowly but surely. The ginger tom tells Shadowkit that he mustn't go to the corner of the medicine den where he buried the deathberries. Alderheart notes how he liked Shadowkit's company and wonders if Jayfeather had felt like that with himself. The ThunderClan tom thinks how Tigerstar had started to slowly trust him more and more, letting his own son linger in his presence, and removing the guards that used to guard the medicine den.
:Pouncekit and Lightkit enter, with the former telling Shadowkit how Strikestone and Blazepaw are going to give the three of them badger rides while the two of them race. The gray kit tells his sisters how he's not interested, and how he's having fun in the medicine den helping Alderheart. Stumped, Lightkit wonders how helping sick cats is more fun than getting a badger ride around camp, but Shadowkit is resistant, stating that he has to learn a lot if he is to be a medicine cat one day. Alderheart remembers the little kit's dream, in which the former thinks the latter dreamed of his own death. The ginger tom asks Shadowkit if he wants to play with his sisters as he doesn't mind, but after Shadowkit declines, Alderheart asks the gray kit to collect the marigold to redress Grassheart's wound.
:While Shadowkit attends to his task, Alderheart wonders why SkyClan would provoke ShadowClan in such a big fight, as Blazepaw, Strikestone, and Snaketooth also had similar injuries. The ThunderClan medicine cat tries to get Puddleshine to eat, but Puddleshine asks if Alderheart had fetched some marigold from ThunderClan, as the stocks in Shadowkit's jaws were way too fresh to be from his own medicine stocks. The ginger tom replies that Cloverfoot had gathered them, prompting Puddleshine to comment how popular the medicine cat had become in ShadowClan. Grassheart, now awoken, needs the marigold applied to her wound, so Alderheart does so while Shadowkit fetches water for the brown tabby she-cat and the brown tom.
:The ThunderClan tom wonders if SkyClan would think of the medicine cat as a traitor if he treated ShadowClan's wounds, but he shakes his head as he reminds himself of the differences between medicine cats and warriors. Tigerstar enters the den, talking about Shadowkit helping Alderheart, until he sets his eyes on Puddleshine. Mood brightening, the ShadowClan leader asks Alderheart why he didn't tell him of the good news. Ignoring the tom's answer, Tigerstar states that all Puddleshine needed was comfort of his old den. At that moment, Alderheart tells the ShadowClan leader of his continued use of the deathberry treatment. All Tigerstar can say is comment on the ThunderClan tom's bravery, asking what he would have done if he died. Adding that ShadowClan honors Alderheart, Tigerstar asks what he can do for the ginger medicine cat. 
:Alderheart states that he will leave ShadowClan after Puddleshine is able to attend to his duties, but he asks Tigerstar for permission to go to the Moonpool for the half-moon meeting. The dark brown tabby tom states that the medicine cat can definitely go, telling Alderheart that he can tell the other medicine cats of Puddleshine's recovery. Shadowkit enters the den, asking if he can go with Alderheart to the Moonpool, but Tigerstar reminds him that the young kit will have to take care of Alderheart's patients while the medicine cat is gone. At the Moonpool, he spots all the other medicine cats. Jayfeather is surprised to learn that Puddleshine had recovered, while Leafpool congratules the ThunderClan tom. Kestrelflight reports how all is well in WindClan, while Willowshine reports how Softpaw consumed a lot of water after being caught in a strong current, but states that the apprentice is recovering. The RiverClan medicine cat asks Frecklewish of Fidgetflake's location. The SkyClan medicine cat states that the tom stayed behind, while stating that they should talk with StarClan.
:Alderheart sees a field of green with five saplings, and a strong gust of wind. He receives hope when he sees the saplings resist, but one sapling breaks off, causing the other saplings to do so as well. The other medicine cats share that they saw the same vision, while Kestrelflight states that ThunderClan and WindClan are fine, while ShadowClan has a leader at last and RiverClan is back from closing their borders. Outraged, Frecklewish insults all of them, asking what they thought of Tigerstar's threat to take SkyClan territory at the last Gathering. Leafpool states that they thought it was going to be another territory dispute and it would be solved eventually, but Frecklewish rhetorically asks if Leafstar could create more territory or Tigerstar would be satisfied for less. 
:Kestrelflight brings up Tree's mediating, but Frecklewish asks the other medicine cats if they actually believed a outsider could help a matter within the Clans. Leafpool asks that it mustn't be too bad, but the SkyClan representative states that ShadowClan raided SkyClan camp at night and destroyed all the dens, while Leafstar doesn't want to rebuild as going back to the gorge is a more appeasing option. Kestrelflight states that the Clans have done heaps to bring SkyClan to the lake, but Frecklewish points out that they haven't done much to keep them there. She brings up the point of Violetshine catching Juniperclaw with a piece of SkyClan prey, and later, Sparrowpelt was poisoned. Willowshine suggests that it was an old piece of prey, but the SkyClan medicine cat states that the SkyClan warrior vomited deathberry seeds, saying that since Alderheart brought deathberry seeds to ShadowClan, the Clan had access to them. Every medicine cat agrees to go to their leaders about the situation between ShadowClan and SkyClan.
