## Detailed Summary

### Chapter 1

Jaykit‘s POV

In the very beginning jaykit is asleep. While asleep, he dreams of walking through the snow with his mother just out of reach. The suddenly he is awoken by his littermates who are playing with a mouse. His sister, Hollykit soon relishe he is awake and asks him to join them. While playing he falls on Ferncloud kits, Foxkit and Icekit. He aks if he hurt them and Ferncloud says he to small to hurt a flea. Ferncloud then procedes to order them to play outside. There, they are told by squirrelflight to stop playing and eat. Lionkit tells jaykit and hollykit to share there mouse wile he gets something of the fresh kill pile. Jaykit soon walkes past lionkit and pulls out a wren and found maggots wiggling in side. Leafpool soon came out and told them that they saved her a patient. Leafpool said “better to eat nothing than to eat something that will make you sick”. When a patrol come in to the stone hollow Spiderleg reports a dead mother fox on their territory.

### Chapter 2

Jaykit and his siblings beg to help and drive the cubs away, but Brambleclaw tells them that they are too young, and that they can guard the camp while the patrols are away. Lionkit convinces his siblings to sneak out, hoping to find the cubs and drive them away on their own. They manage to find the fox cubs quicker than the warriors due to Jaykit's terrific sense of smell, but the cubs are bigger than the kits expected, so they flee back to camp. As Jaykit is running, he falls off the edge of the stone hollow and falls to the ground.

### Chapter 3

He is knocked out from the impact and has a short dream where Spottedleaf appears from StarClan and prods him with her nose, soothing the ache in his limbs. She also gives him a drink of water before he wakes up in Leafpool's den. Leafpool offers him a drink, but he refuses, telling Leafpool about the cat he visited in his dream. Leafpool says that Jaykit would make an excellent medicine cat after making him recite the herbs she used and his description of Spottedleaf, and that he could be her apprentice, but he is appalled by the idea of being surrounded by sick cats and old herbs. He exclaims that he hates being blind, and that he wishes he had never been born.

### Chapter 4

Hollykit‘s POV

Hollykit is waiting in the clearing where Brambleclaw left her. The brambles tremble and Jaykit comes out. Hollykit and Lionkit are relieved that he's okay. Jaykit turns around and goes back to the den. Hollykit remarks that Jaykit must've been kept for longer. Hollykit is worried about Firestar, as she thinks he will punish them. She hopes that no cat will stare at them. Mousepawglances at her sympathetically before looking away. Hollykit wants to take her punishment like a true warrior. Meanwhile, Sorreltail and Brackenfur are discussing about Jaykit. Hollykit feels irritated, as he was fussed over, and she was only being stared at. She hisses at Lionkit that they wouldn't have been in so much trouble if Jaykit hadn't fallen over the edge. Then she thinks that he could've died, and she realizes she wouldn't survive without him. Hollykit remarks that no one should've gone, and Firestar pops in, exclaiming that he wished that she realized it earlier. Brambleclaw demands to Hollykit why she was here. Hollykit finds herself unable to explain, so Spiderleg explains it to Brambleclaw for her. Brambleclaw asks where Lionkit and Jaykit are, to which Spiderleg answers that too. Brambleclaw escorts the kits back to camp. Upon reaching camp, they hear Ferncloud let out a low, mournful yowl. Jaykit is lying in the middle of the clearing, unmoving. Brambleclaw nudges him gently, fear in his eyes.

### Chapter 5

Lionkit wakes up in his nest. A draft ruffles his golden fur, and he wonders where his brother, Jaykit, is. He feels sick at the memory of Jaykit laying limp in the clearing, but tries to assure himself that he'll be fine. He sees Leafpool and Brambleclaw crouched over his brother's limp shape, and for a moment Lionkit thinks he's dead. A shiver runs down his spine, and turns to wake Hollykit, who sleeps next to him.

He whispers to his sister that it's cold in the nest without Jaykit, but she murmurs that he'll be back soon. Lionkit retorts against her words, saying it was weird without their brother. Hollykit simply tells Lionkit to go back to sleep, and rolls over, drifting back into her rest. Her brother feels a tug of sorrow, knowing that Jaykit should always be with him and Hollykit.

The golden kit closes his eyes, but Jaykit's shape fills his thoughts again. Telling himself that it was his fault, Lionkit thinks that his brother could be dead. The fox cubs had chased him, or could've found the hollow. Another possibility is Jaykit could've been laying on the ground, dead. He stands up, needing fresh air. He peeks over to where Daisy sleeps. He sees that her cream fur blends into Ferncloud's gray pelt. Ferncloud's whiskers twitch as she dreams, with her kits snuggled against her flank comfortably.

### Chapter 6

Hollykit's PoV

Hollykit dreams about hedgehogs moving into the den. They rudely push Ferncloud's kits out of the way and settle down into the nests. Hollykit gets pricked and mutters to them to go away. She twists away, but prickles still dig in. Finally, she opens one eye and sees Lionkit covered in thorns. Hollykit jabs him with her forepaw and asks where he picked up all those thorns from. Lionkit yawns and confesses he couldn't sleep, so he went for a walk in the clearing. Hollykit stares at him, saying that they are in enough trouble already, and they might not get made apprentices. Lionkit reassures her, telling her Mousepaw was the only cat who saw him, and he helped him hide from Dustpelt. Hollykit suggests removing the thorns from his nest so that no cat notices. She goes to the medicine cat's den to fetch Leafpool, so she can remove the thorns stuck in him. She first checks on Jaykit, who asks what she's doing there. She explains why, and he tells her Leafpool went out to collect herbs. With Jaykit's help, she grabs dock, and Leafpool enters the den. She asks how Hollykit knew that dock was used to treat scratches, and Jaykit tells her she remembered the scent from he was being treated. Leafpool is impressed by her memory, and shows her how to apply it to a wound. Hollykit tell her she's going to go back to the nursery, and declines Leafpool's offer to come with her, saying she'll come back if she needs her. Leafpool looks at her with a knowing glint in her eye, and Hollykit wonders if she knows that the kits were hiding something. She trots out of the den, her heart sinking when she realizes it's busier now. She sees Daisy and her kits, and also Cinderpaw, Honeypaw, and Poppypaw. She nervously walks to the nursery, hoping nobody will ask her what she's doing out. She reaches her destination, and Ferncloud asks where she's been. Hollykit explains the scratches on the dock, and Ferncloud understands why she left without permission. Lionkit has groomed the thorns from his fur except for one behind his ear. Hollykit removes the thorn and applies dock to his scratches, wincing whenever he squeaks in pain. His pain makes her feel queasy, but she tells herself she has to do it right if she's going to become a medicine cat. Lionkit comments that he feels much better, and Ferncloud tells them to get fresh-kill, saying Daisy can watch them. The dock has made her lose her appetite, and she walks to the pile without enthusiasm. She finds Mousepaw, Hazelpaw, and Berrypaw talking about their upcoming warrior assessment. They wonder who will assess them; Hazelpaw wonders if Firestar will assess them. Berrypaw hopes he won't, as he wouldn't be able to focus if he knew Firestar was assessing them. Ashfur calls out to them, saying they should split up, or they'll scare away every piece of prey from the forest to sun-drown-place. Whitewing scolds him for teasing them. Brook drops three mice on the fresh-kill pile, one of which Lionkit starts eating, thanking Brook while doing so. She advises him to chew slowly, telling him how they did that in the mountains they chewed slowly to make food last longer. Surprised, Lionkit obeys. Hollykit thinks about how she liked the sound of Brook's mew. Yowling, followed by hissing, is heard outside the camp entrance, and Hollykit wonders if they're being attacked. Sandstorm rushes to the camp entrance, only to return with the RiverClan medicine cat, Mothwing, and her apprentice, Willowpaw. Honeypaw, the one who yowled, follows, embarrassed and apologizing, claiming she didn't know it was Mothwing and had only smelled RiverClan. Sandstorm comforts her. Hollykit becomes excited by Willowpaw's appearance. She thinks about how the last time she talked to her, she had asked Willowpaw what it was like the be in a different Clan. Now, she wants to ask her how to become a medicine cat apprentice. She scrambles over to the apprentice, mewing a greeting. Willowpaw returns the greeting and asks if she's been made an apprentice yet. Hollykit says no and asks her why she and Mothwing are here, wondering if it was to ask for supplies. Willowpaw tells her she had a dream, and they came to have Leafpool help interpret it. Hollykit asks why. Willowpaw just says Mothwing wanted her opinion. Hollykit asks was it was about, and Willowpaw can't tell her. Leafpool calls Willowpaw and her mentor into her den, and Hollykit stares after them. Lionkit buts her with his head, asking why she's staring at them. She blurts out that she wants to be a medicine cat.

### Chapter 7

Hollykit‘s POV

After Hollykit's declare of wanting to train as a medicine cat, Lionkit stares at her in surprise, and asks her why. Hollykit snaps at him, and Lionkit seems uninterested in the thought of becoming a medicine cat, and says she'd always be stuck in camp, treating injuried cats. The black she-cat doesn't want to know what she would be missing, and Hollykit just tells Lionkit about how much she would know. She meows that she'd see StarClan, learn all about herbs. She asks her brother would could be more exciting than that, but Lionkit exclaims that fighting ShadowClan would be. Hollykit insists that she want to have dreams like Leafpool and Willowpaw, then Lionkit starts teasing her that she does have dreams, about hedgehogs. Hollykit then proceeds to playfully pounce on Lionkit. As they started to wrestle, Squirrelflight scolds them for making the fresh-kill pile dusty with their roughhousing and sends them back to the nursery. Hollykit protests, complaining that she hasn't eaten yet, so Squirrelflight tells her to get herself and Ferncloud something to eat. While walking away, Squirrelflight says, half to herself, that she hope that Thornclaw knows that he's leading the sunhigh patrol. Hollykit says that Squirrelflight should go remind him, since she's clearly keeping an eye on everybody. Squirrelflight asks her to repeat what she said, but Hollykit claims to have said nothing. Hollykit exclaims to Lionkit that Squirrelflight is always ruining their fun, but Lionkit replies that she's just busy. Hollykit agrees reluctantly.

### Chapter 8

  Jaykit‘s POV

Jaykit feels angry that one-eyed Brightheart is his mentor when there are so many other warriors to choose from. He refuses to step forward and greet his mentor and ignores her embarrassment, the encouraging murmurs of the other apprentices, and of Spiderleg quieting them. A muzzle gently but firmly pushes him forward, and Leafpool murmurs for him to go on. Jaykit grits his teeth and pads toward Brightheart and Firestar. The one-eyed she-cat sympathizes for him and promises to teach him to protect his Clan even without sight. Jaykit is angry at how she pities him, and angrily asks why she doesn't just send him to the elders den with Longtail if she thinks he’s so useless. Brightheart stiffens and snaps that no cat called him useless, and Longtail wouldn’t thank him for talking rudely of him. She reveals that she asked the elder to help with some of Jaykit’s training, and the gray tabby lashes his tail angrily. Firestar steps between the two cats and names Jaykit as Jaypaw. Mousepaw and Berrypaw start cheering and the other apprentices join in loudly, but Jaypaw thinks that they are only doing it because they feel sorry for him. Firestar tells Brightheart that she never let what happened to her prevent her from being a warrior, and says that he can’t think of anyone better to teach Jaypaw. Brightheart vows to share all she has learned with him. Jaypaw reluctantly touches muzzles with her, and the Clan raises their voices to cheer the new apprentices. Jaypaw thinks that they’re not cheering him, for no cat there would think he'd become a great warrior. When the calls die away, Firestar speaks that ThunderClan is lucky to have so many apprentices, and he hopes that they will train hard to serve their Clan well. Ashfur invites Lionpaw to find a nest in the apprentices' den, then show him the forest. Leafpool meows that she'll show Hollypaw the best places for herbs. Jaypaw's littermates follow their mentors and he feels cross that they get real mentors. Brightheart meows to come with her. Jaypaw follows her to a clump of wilting grass, and Brightheart begins speaking, but the apprentice doesn’t listen. He hears Lionpaw eagerly hurrying after Ashfur into the forest, and Hollypaw tearing herbs in the medicine den, and he feels gratitude that at least he's not a medicine cat apprentice. He knows Daisy is circling her nest for a nap, and Mousefur is guiding Longtail back to the elder's den, though she is in a hunting mood, and Longtail's limbs are still young. Jaypaw thinks it’s unfair that the tom should live in the elder’s den despite not being old. Then he sense darkness over the camp, and hears claws scraping the ledge outside Firestar’s den, and he knows it is Brambleclaw. He senses suspicion in the deputy's mind, and realizes that his father is suspicious of his Clanmates. Jaypaw blinks and his thoughts jerk back to Brightheart, who was waiting for him to say something. His mentor had guessed that he had not been listening, and reminds him that they are going to see Longtail. Jaypaw’s heart sinks, and unenthusiastically accepts. Brightheart leads him to the elder's den, and at the entrance, calls that it is Brightheart and Jaypaw. Longtail tells them to come in. Brightheart ducks under the low branch entrance and pads inside. Her apprentice follows, for once uncertain about his surroundings, as he had not been in that den before. He knows by the scent that Longtail is alone, and Mousefur must have gone out into the forest after all. Longtail congratulates Jaypaw and purrs that he’s been given a great mentor. Brightheart thanks him, and Longtail remarks that Firestar gave her a challenge for her first apprentice. Jaypaw thinks it is because he is blind, but Longtail interrupts saying that Jaypaw has attitude. The apprentice is confused, and the elder responds that not many kits try to hunt foxes. Brightheart instructs her apprentice to clean out the moss and get rid of dirty pieces, and says that she’ll fetch fresh moss for now, as Jaypaw doesn't know where to go to collect it. Jaypaw had heard of cleaning out bedding from Berrypaw and Hazelpaw, but is angry that Lionpaw is already exploring the territory. Brightheart goes on, saying to then check Longtail and, if returned, Mousefur, for fleas, while Longtail could tell him about using senses other than sight. Jaypaw is frustrated, since although Longtail had lost sight after he had been a warrior, Jaypaw had always been blind, so sightlessness is totally natural for him. He thinks that he could give the elder more advice than Longtail could give him. Brightheart suggests that Jaypaw starts, and he begins to sort through the moss as she leaves the den. Mousefur enters the den, smelling of the forest, and she breaths sharply as he sits down, saying that he missed a bit. Longtail defends the apprentice, but the brown she-cat asks if that means he'll be in the den till sunhigh. Jaypaw snaps that it’s not his fault that she's stiff after going into the forest when it was damp, and Mousefur asks how he knew that. Jaypaw replies that she had gasped when she sat down, almost as if hurt; and the old she-cat purrs that Brightheart will have her paws full. Jaypaw feels a glimmer of hope that maybe they will stop underestimating him when they realize it doesn’t matter if he can't see. He finishes sorting through the moss, then pads over to Longtail and begins to nose through his fur. The tabby elder bets that Jaypaw can’t wait to start training in the forest, and he recalls his first time in the forest as if it was recent, even though he hadn’t been blinded at the time. Longtail goes on that scents became must sharper and more important when he became blind. He adds that his hearing is now much better, and recommends that Jaypaw listens really well all the time. Jaypaw finds a tick lodged behind the Longtail's ear. The elder continues that in hunting, it helps to have sharp hearing and smell. Jaypaw is angered that Longtail is telling him such obvious things, and pulls the tick harder than he needs to, which Longtail complains at. Brightheart enters the den and asks if Jaypaw is finished. Jaypaw asks Mousefur if she has ticks, and the old she-cat replies that she has just one that she could reach herself. Jaypaw turns toward his mentor and replies that he’s finished, and his mentor meows that she will show him the territory around camp. Jaypaw is relieved, and Longtail wishes him luck. Brightheart leads him out of camp and up the steep slope that leads lakeward. She explains that the trail is steep, and Jaypaw decides not to tell her that he could already feel the slope as he follows his mentor. As the ground flattens out, Brightheart tells him that they’re at the top of the ridge. Jaypaw can tell by the slope that the forest falls away on either side, and soon begins to feels out of breath. Eventually, Brightheart meows that they’re out of the trees, though Jaypaw had already known that they had left the cover of the forest. Brightheart instructs him to stop, though her apprentice had already halted. Scents flood through Jaypaw, and he knows that they are looking out over the forest and lake. Brightheart begins to explain the other Clans' territories, but breaks off when she tells him that he can looks where the sun rises. For the first time that day, Jaypaw feels sorry for her mentor, who would have wanted her first apprentice to be healthy without special allowances. He wishes that she knew he didn’t want allowances, and explains that even though he can't see, he knows a lot from hearing and smell. He describes how he knows where ShadowClan is by their strong stench and the tang of pines, and can smell the moorland because there is a great wind, and knows RiverClan lives over the lake, which he can’t smell because of the scents of the lake, which are stronger today because of the wind. Brightheart is surprised that he can tell all that without sight, but suddenly stiffens, and announces that a patrol is coming. Jaypaw had already heard it; and he knows from scent that it is Dustpelt, Hazelpaw, Thornclaw, and Poppypaw. Poppypaw bounds out of the bracken first, and Thornclaw, Dustpelt and Hazelpaw follow. Poppypaw notes that Jaypaw is out of the camp at last, and Hazelpaw adds how being an apprentice is great, and how excited she was her first day. Jaypaw thinks that her first day must have been more excited than his, and Hazelpaw goes on that they have just done a border patrol, with Poppypaw finishing that they would now to battle training. Poppypaw suggests that Jaypaw come with him, but Brightheart meows that another day might be better, explaining that they didn’t finish exploring the territory. Thornclaw asks where they will go now, and Brightheart answers that she will show Jaypaw the old Thunderpath. Thornclaw cautions them to be careful, but Jaypaw bristles, thinking that they’re not idiots even if they only have one eye between them. Brightheart sharply mews that they know a border marker when she smells it, and Dustpelt reminds Thornclaw that Firestar trusted Brightheart with Jaypaw. Thornclaw apologizes, but Brightheart replies with a stony silence. When the patrol leaves, Brightheart warns that there’s a steep slope, though Jaypaw finds that to be very obvious. His mentor asks if he can manage, and he replies that he can, but the ground drops away much more steeply than he expects, and he skids down the muddy slope. Brightheart catches up with him and asks if he’s okay, and Jaypaw mews that he’s fine. The ginger-and-white she-cat offers to rest, but the apprentice hisses that he’s fine. They continue toward the old Thunderpath, and the wind picks up by the time they reach it. Brightheart tells him that they will head back to camp from there. Jaypaw objects that there must be more ThunderClan territory than that, but the warrior meows that it’s too much to explore today. Jaypaw is angry that they couldn’t circle the whole territory in just one day. They pad through the trees, and rain begins to fall. Jaypaw realizes that it might not be that bad that they’re going back to the hollow, when he stiffens at a sharp scent on the breeze. He knows it is a fox, the same that had chased him over the edge of the hollow. Jaypaw is about to warn Brightheart, but her fear-scent tells him that she already knows. She hisses that they must find Thornclaw’s patrol, and relieved picks up a faint smell of Thornclaw. However, it’s too late, for the bracken up ahead rustles and the fox hurls itself out and charges toward them. Jaypaw is very scared, and can tell that the fox had grown since their last encounter. Brightheart orders him to run, but Jaypaw yowls that he won’t leave her. He hears the fox swipe at his mentor, and she hisses. The fox’s screech tells Jaypaw that she clawed it. The fox darts past him. He twists, claws unsheathed, preparing to lunge, and leaps, but something tugs him back: his tail is caught in a bramble bush. He collapses on the ground, and a heavy paw lands on his back; the fox hand ran straight over him, heading for Brightheart. The warrior screeches, then Thronclaw’s yowl is heard a rabbit-length away. The patrol had come. Warriors and apprentices stream into the clearing, and the fox yelps and races into the trees, with Dustpelt and Hazelpaw pounding after it. Jaypaw struggles to his paws, yanking his tail to unsnag it from the bush. Poppypaw is at his side and asks if he’s alright. The gray tom wrenches his tail free and snaps that he’s fine. Brightheart asks if the fox hurt him. Jaypaw is relieved that his mentor’s voice is strong and he smells no blood on her. Thornclaw demands to know if he tried to fight the fox. The apprentice objects that he couldn’t leave Brightheart alone, and Thornclaw growls that Jaypaw should have learned that he’s no match for a fox. Poppypaw asks if his tail is okay. Jaypaw mutters that it’s fine, even though he is in pain from the thorns still stuck in it. He feels very embarrassed at being defeated by a bramble bush, and asks if Dustpelt and Hazelpaw will be okay. Thornclaw replies that they’ll chase the fox away from camp, and Poppypaw suggests to take Brightheart and Jaypaw back to camp, which the older warrior agrees to. Jaypaw lay pressed in the same clump of grass Brightheart had taken him that morning, and wants to be alone. But when Lionpaw and Ashfur returns, he can hear them in the center of the clearing. His brother asks where Jaypaw is, and Hollypaw answers from outside the medicine cat’s den that she hasn’t seen him, but must be in camp as Brightheart is back. Jaypaw doesn’t want Brightheart to tell them how he made a fool of himself, and slips out, and heads past his siblings toward the fresh-kill pile. Hollypaw greets him as he gets a mouse from the top, and she follows at picks up a sparrow. Lionpaw roots among the prey, till he finds a vole and boasts that he caught it himself. Hollypaw is impressed that he caught prey on his first day, and Lionpaw admits that Ashfur helped him. Jaypaw growls that Ashfur probably held it down for Lionpaw to finish off. After a moment’s silence, Hollypaw brushes her tail over Jaypaw's pelt, and mews that she heard he ran into trouble, but that could have happened to any cat. Jaypaw growls that it happened to him, but Lionpaw reminds him it was his first day. Jaypaw angrily thinks that his littermate caught a vole on his first day. Hollypaw plucks a thorn out of Jaypaw’s tail, but he hisses that he can do it himself. She offers herbs, but Jaypaw rejects her help, and when he bites the mouse it feels tasteless. He gives it to his brother to finish, and before Lionpaw can ask, Jaypaw gloomily pads to the apprentices den. The unfamiliar scents confuse Jaypaw, and he doesn't know where to sleep. Hazelpaw’s mew comes from the far side of the den, informing him that there’s no one in the den but her. She adds that there’s clean moss next to her nest, where he can sleep. Jaypaw is too tired to fuss about being helped, and he pads toward Hazelpaw’s nest. The gray tabby smells Poppypaw, Berrypaw and Honeypaw's nest, and weaves among the other begs till he finds the clean moss beside Hazelpaw. The new apprentice thanks his denmate, and she sleepily answers that it is no problem. Jaypaw is glad that she sounds tired, as all he wants to do is sleep.

      Firestar allows Jaykit to train as an apprentice; his mentor is Brightheart, with Longtail assisting her, since both of them know the difficulties of Clan life with impaired eyesight. Jaypaw is furious that Firestar gave him a "useless mentor" just because he is blind, and he often disobeys Brightheart simply based on his stubbornness and anger. His attitude with Brightheart is very short-tempered. The same day Brightheart and he find one of the fox cubs. A patrol quickly arrives and helps them. Jaypaw is embarrassed because he got stuck in brambles during the incident.
During the night, he dreams of a mountain path in a valley with a stream, sparkling in the moonlight. The next day, Brightheart is nowhere to be found in camp so Jaypaw is expected to stay in camp, however he sneaks out anyway, and wanders onto WindClan territory. He falls from a cliff into the lake, but luckily, a WindClan patrol consisting of Crowfeather, Breezepaw, Whitetail, and Heatherpaw, see him and pull him out. Crowfeather takes him back to camp, and Jaypaw notices tension between Leafpool and Crowfeather, not knowing the history between them.
Leafpool goes to the Moonpool to speak with StarClan about Graystripe's return to the Clan and his former deputyship. Jaypaw sneaks out of camp and follows her to the Moonpool, entering Leafpool's dream and concealing himself, and watching her speak to StarClan. When Leafpool wakes up, she is furious that Jaypaw followed her. Jaypaw tells Leafpool that he saw her in the dream and describes what StarClan told her. Leafpool is amazed that Jaypaw can enter other cat's dreams and also asks him how he managed to follow her, but Jaypaw says it isn't a big deal and that he had already dreamed of the path leading to the Moonpool. She tells him he should become a medicine cat, but he refuses.
As his apprenticeship continues, he realizes that being blind effects the thought of him being able to fight decently. When ShadowClan attacks ThunderClan and Jaypaw tries to take on Owlpaw, he can't see where Owlpaw is attacking from, and he struggles. Lionpaw arrives and helps by calling out where Owlpaw is coming from, and they eventually beat him. Jaypaw then wonders if he can ever be a warrior without someone there to help him.
That night, Jaypaw, troubled by his blindness, decides to go alone to the Moonpool. There, he dreams that he is in the Dark Forest. Tigerstar and Hawkfrost appear, and tell him that they can teach him to be a great warrior despite his blindness. Jaypaw is briefly tempted, but Spottedleaf appears from StarClan, and takes Jaypaw away from the Dark Forest. She then tells him that he wasn't destined to be a warrior, but a medicine cat. Jaypaw argues with her, but then realizes that she is right. Luckily, Hollypaw had already decided that she would make a better warrior, rather than a medicine cat, for she was far better at the fighting moves than the memory of herbs. After telling Leafpool, Jaypaw becomes the she-cat's new apprentice.
Leafpool takes Jaypaw on as her apprentice, even though Jaypaw still seems mad about it. Brightheart was devastated and ignored Jaypaw for some time.
During a greencough epidemic, he manages to save Poppypaw from death by entering her dream and leading her away from StarClan's hunting grounds. Sorreltail is seen thanking him, and Leafpool tells him that he is learning to be a medicine cat. He is unable to go to the Gathering, as he needs to take care of the cats who are recovering.
During the special daytime Gathering, he is angry that he can't participate at the games, due to his blindness, and stays at camp. However, he soon receives a vision of dirt pressing on him, suffocating him, and he realizes that he is looking through Lionpaw's eyes. He runs off to find that Breezepaw and Lionpaw had fallen into an old badger den while having a hunting contest. Jaypaw tries to dig them out, but he makes little progress until Crowfeather arrives and helps him pull out the two apprentices. Nightcloud is seen thanking Jaypaw greatly, and later when the Gathering is over, Onestar and Firestar announce that Jaypaw has earned the gratitude of every cat and that he was a hero.
Jaypaw uses his powers to see into the dream of Firestar, and learns of a prophecy an old cat had made to Firestar, stating, "There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws." Jaypaw realizes that the three kin of Firestar must be him, Lionpaw and Hollypaw.
