The Blazing Star (book)/Chapter 12

==Chapter description==
:Clear Sky rushes into Tall Shadow's camp, injured, and tells Gray Wing about One Eye's attack on Sparrow Fur and Tom's death. Angry with Jagged Peak, Gray Wing sends Holly away, and when Jagged Peak attempts to apologize for allowing Sparrow Fur to go, Gray Wing snaps that he does not deserve to have kits. This causes the two brothers to fight until Clear Sky and Holly break them up, and Clear Sky says that he wants Sparrow Fur to return to Tall Shadow's camp.
:Gray Wing heads to Wind Runner's den to inform Pebble Heart and Owl Eyes of what happened to Sparrow Fur, and while Owl Eyes agrees to go with him to retrieve her, Pebble Heart stays to care for Morning Whisker. While Clear Sky runs ahead, Gray Wing talks to Owl Eyes about Sparrow Fur's decision to see Tom, and Owl Eyes explains that all three littermates had wanted to know their biological father. This hurts Gray Wing, and he tells Owl Eyes about Tom's death, which prompts Owl Eyes to go back home, as he does not wish to see Clear Sky.
:In Clear Sky's camp, Gray Wing finds Sparrow Fur being tended to by Petal, Quick Water, and Birch. Clear Sky tells her that she needs to go home, but Sparrow Fur wishes to stay. Gray Wing argues, worried for her safety, but when Sparrow Fur's injuries flare up with pain, he realizes that she is unfit to travel and allows her to stay, rejecting Clear Sky's offer to remain with her. Gray Wing starts heading back home, but stops, feeling weighed down and unwanted. He instead goes to the four oaks to settle beside the grave, where he is greeted by River Ripple. River Ripple invites Gray Wing back to his island, and he agrees to go.
