BraveClan's touching story/(3): Rediscovering Wonders from Darkness/19

## Part 19: More Visions of Destiny

BraveClan, a day later: Leaffeather was thinking about last night. When all of the prophecy cats (including the queens, Fierylight, Destinyflower, and Rainingclaw) were discussing, the other ten kits, the apprentices, Owlpaw, Crescentpaw, Minnowpaw, Desertpaw and Jumppaw and the young warriors, Tawnyclaw, Burntfur, Sunstrike, and Yarrowlight were all shooting questions at Hopekit at light speed about her dream and Frozenbreeze and Bloodkiller.

*"What did Frozenbreeze do to save you?!"* Spotkit asked in great fascination.

"Yeah! And what about that evil cat?" Pollenkit asked, shuddering about Bloodkiller.

"Did Frozenbreeze fight him off?" Yarrowlight asked with great interest.

*"I hope he killed that evil cat!"* Daisykit yelled loudly with the hope that Frozenbreeze did do so.

"I feel sorry for Hopekit that she had to see that," Moonkit murmured in sympathy for Hopekit.

"Me too, but at least Hopekit can learn fighting moves from Frozenbreeze," Jumppaw suggested, to which his brother added, "That would be a wild idea, but it isn't impossible! I once heard of a SunClan cat being trained by a StarClan cat!"

"Hopekit is becoming a medicine cat, though," Crescentpaw pointed out, but Owlpaw replied, "But Greenmoon also knows warrior moves!"

"And so do Leaffeather and Emberheart," added Tawnyclaw.

"If Hopekit learns warrior moves, will she be able to kill Bloodkiller?" Sunstrike wondered out loud, and Burntfur just replied, "Hopefully."

"I want him to have already died, though," Daisykit muttered angrily, her anger probably directed towards Bloodkiller.

"Fierylight told me that StarClan cats can kill Dark Forest cats, but also the other way around," Bluekit gleefully told the group. "So Frozenbreeze and Hopekit can work together to kill him and *they* won't get killed." Orangekit, Redkit, and Fenikkit both nodded eagerly in agreement with their sibling or kit friend.

"I wonder if I will get trained by a StarClan mentor when I become a medicine cat," Heatherkit wondered out loud, too.

The queens were yowling at their kits to stop slamming Hopekit with questions about her dreams and said it was nighttime and they had to go to bed. Fierylight, Destinyflower and Flowermoon also ordered their older kits: Tawnyclaw, Burntfur, Owlpaw, Crescentpaw, Minnowpaw, Desertpaw and Jumppaw to get out of the nursery, go back to their own dens and sleep. Warmtail, Hazecrest, and Flameheart, the fathers of the older kits, and Sootmist, the mother of Sunstrike and Yarrowlight, even tried to drag them back to their own dens, saying that as kits, apprentices and young warriors in SunClan, if they stayed awake at nighttime like this for a small reason, their parents, the leader and the deputy would discipline them in a much harsher way than what they were doing.

Dewflower was also in the nursery. When Hopekit talked about the Dewflower's kits StarClan secret, Greenmoon and Leaffeather decided to check her out (with Heatherkit and Hopekit watching as usual). They asked Dewflower if she had any dizziness or nausea and she did say she sometimes, for a short while, felt things were spinning and her belly was acting weird. Emberheart also helped, of course, since he was experienced at this, and Greenmoon said that Dewflower's belly *did* seem to be moving very slightly, and Leaffeather and Emberheart agreed with her observation. All the queens and kits were happy to have her in the nursery, of course, since there would be new kits and another queen to talk to, and happy that Frozenbreeze was indeed the father, especially Tawnyclaw and Burntfur, who got saved by him, and Hopekit and Heatherkit, who were fond of him, too, and that he would live on through his kits. Dewflower was also happy about expecting, though a little nervous, and the other queens and Marigoldstar, Shadowcreek, Sootmist and Greenmoon consoled her about being a queen. But Dewflower was mostly quiet when all the young cats were asking Hopekit the barricade of questions and was just sitting in her comfy moss bed, made for her by the apprentices, watching Hopekit's expression curiously.

Leaffeather was watching from the medicine cat's den and saw Hopekit looked way too tired to answer any questions of theirs. When the commotion finally died down after a ton of rebellious retorts, scuffling and ruffling around and even being dragged by the scruff (for rebellious spirits like Tawnyclaw, Owlpaw and Jumppaw) and noisy cries from the kits who wanted to stay awake all night, everything was asleep and quiet, except for him. He had never seen young cats so interested in gossip before. While being a kit, apprentice and warrior in both lives, he hadn't seen kits being so talkative. *Maybe these new generations are like this,* he figured in amusement. He had noticed that Dewflower, Specklewhisker, Diamondhare, Flowermoon, Flameheart and Lynxdaisy weren't questioning Hopekit or anything, but they did seem extremely curious to know about Hopekit's dream along with their kits and younger Clanmates, too. He thought they may not have been through hardships before which is why they were so joyful. He remembered that Wheatgrass told him about what they did as kits and apprentices, and they weren't any less playful than this generation.

Leaffeather had still been thinking about Hopekit's six secrets from Frozenbreeze, and he wondered what they meant. The second and third secrets had revealed Dewflower's pregnancy, but he wondered why that was so important for StarClan. *Maybe it just has to do with Frozenbreeze,* Leaffeather figured since he was the father of those kits and had mated with Dewflower, but the legacy prophecy cat also knew that StarClan didn't operate on one cat's opinion. *Are Dewflower's kits important somehow?* he wondered all of a sudden. He hadn't thought about it too much, but he wondered if they were important in StarClan's destiny now, like the nine prophecy cats, and Hopekit somehow.

He also thought about the first secret, which was a prophecy. *Through hope comes wisdom, destiny and purity,* he thought, trying to interpret it. He wondered if it had to do with Hopekit, Destinyflower and Purefur. *But what would wisdom be?* Leaffeather thought. If the other three positive qualities had to do with prefixes of cats, then he thought wisdom could be a prefix of another cat, but he had no idea who "Wisdom-" would be.

After pondering over it a bit, he had managed to go to sleep, but the next day, he was woken up to a specific kit's cry, which wasn't Hopekit.

*"Guess what!"* screeched Heatherkit very enthusiastically at the top of her lungs. *"I thought I saw I was in a field full of marigolds and it was nighttime and I could see so many stars and Silverpelt! Then I saw a cat which looked like Marigoldstar! And then I saw another cat which had dark-reddish-brown-sort-of-colored fur! And then they both started fighting each other wildly and I tried to yell at them to stop but then they both died and disappeared! And then I thought I heard someone that looked sort of like Greenmoon say to me, 'The power inside may be deep, the sky's limit may be high, or the fire may be within you!'"*

The entire Clan, including Hopekit and Leaffeather, couldn't be more astounded. Lynxdaisy, Orangekit, Bluekit and Daisykit stared at their daughter or sister in great stupefaction as she suddenly yowled this upon waking up, and they got woken up, too, and so did all of the queens and apprentices. Soon enough, Cloudflames also rushed to the nursery upon getting woken up by her cry to see what was happening and so did Specklewhisker, Warmtail, Hazecrest, Thunderflames and Flameheart, the other nursery fathers, in great fear that something bad happened, until they saw Heatherkit perfectly fine, yelling her prophecy to the entire BraveClan. Since the Clan camp was relatively small to the average camp size and the dens were closely knit, the entire Clan could hear her yell loud and clear and wake up from it like Hopekit.

It was morning though, so no one was that irritated from being interrupted from their sleep, and Leaffeather had been curious to know what was going on, along with the other prophecy cats and Greenmoon and Shadowcreek. He immediately ran from the medicine cats' den to the nursery (they were across each other) and saw Heatherkit.

He quickly inquired, "Who gave you the vision?" and almost all the other cats in the nursery (there were a ton as most of the cats jumped from the warriors and apprentices' den to the nursery in great curiosity), including Greenmoon, Emberheart and Hopekit, nodded quickly in a questioning manner, too. Heatherkit shrugged and said she didn't know as she never saw her before. Emberheart had asked her to give a description, and Heatherkit replied with, "Medium gray ruffled fur, big ears, she-cat and a long, sleek tail."

Leaffeather, Emberheart and Cloudflames had known immediately who it was, and they remembered the she-cat who unluckily happened to be wandering through the forest when Logclaw had gone missing, and his mate, Nectarfern, had found her and brought her back to BraveClan. Reedpaw, now Reedstar, had been giving her food, and later on, as leader he made her deputy and became her mate, and had Junipergold, a daughter. She later on became leader after the civil battle, and Junipergold gave birth to Greenmoon, and she comforted her daughter when she said she would die.

"Fadedstar," they all said simultaneously, as they started thinking about her honesty and good-natured personality, and who also had a cool head during bad situations, like the awful civil battle that should have never happened.

Most of the Clan were confused as they have never heard of her before but the five legacy prophecy cats and Shadowcreek and Greenmoon and Fierylight and Destinyflower all knew who she was vividly. Greenmoon said that she was the predecessor to Bravestar and Heatherkit's ancestor through the maternal line. Hopekit remembered what that meant as Marigoldstar had described, and she thought that meant she was Greenmoon's mother or maternal grandmother since Greenmoon was Heatherkit's maternal grandmother through Lynxdaisy.

They also talked a little bit about Fadedstar and who she was, and the Clan had an idea now, but it was still surprising Heatherkit was visited by her to deliver a prophecy to BraveClan, which was: *The power inside may be deep, the sky's limit may be high, or the fire may be within you.*

Now, it was noon, and the day after Hopekit's revelation of the six secrets Frozenbreeze relayed to her and the discovery of Dewflower's pregnancy, of which the same StarClan cat, Frozenbreeze was the father of. And it was also a few hours after Heatherkit's revelation of the other prophecy, which Leaffeather and Emberheart believed to be a continuation of the first one Hopekit got, *"Through hope comes wisdom, destiny and purity."*

Leaffeather sighed exhaustedly as he sorted the herbs by himself, as Greenmoon was on a hunting-gathering patrol with Specklewhisker and Tawnyclaw. And Emberheart wasn't officially a medicine cat, obviously, so he was just doing casual warrior duties, teaching his apprentice, Crescentpaw, advanced fighting moves and doing a small assessment as he was short two moons and a half a warrior. Emberheart would only step in for medicine cat duties in emergencies such as in battle and StarClan, but he occasionally helped out in normal times by gathering herbs, giving advice to the medicine cats, and helping to interpret StarClan dreams.

Marigold was for treated infected wounds, and so was yarrow and goldenrod. He also sorted the chamomile, elm bark and dandelion into this group. He sorted the honey, catnip, coriander seeds and willow bark into the group for treating fevers. And he put poppy seeds and a few sticks in the group for pain relieving. Leaffeather did think that becoming a medicine cat would be interesting, but sorting herbs was one of the more uninteresting aspects. He also thought that gathering was interesting because they could explore, but it still seemed like a normal routine now.

The most interesting thing was StarClan, but it was the hardest and most vital and nerve-racking aspect, and even shocking, as he had to get the dream from StarClan, possibly bad, and then interpret it. He hadn't gotten so many dreams as an apprentice, but now, as a medicine cat, he got thrown a multitude of dreams, especially that one about Minnowkit and Hazykit from Bluetail after he came back from the Moonstone with Greenmoon to get his full name.

Leaffeather was getting pretty exhausted with all of those dreams, and he wondered if StarClan decided to give those dreams to Hopekit and Heatherkit instead, not to burden him so much. *What about Greenmoon?* he wondered as she was also a medicine cat and his mentor, and therefore the oldest medicine cat. Greenmoon didn't seem to be getting a lot of special dreams, and Leaffeather wondered if he was getting them due to being a legacy prophecy cat. Cinderpelt had also gotten many dreams even though Tremblesplash and Bronzeroot didn't. Bluetail had gotten a few, but mostly Cinderpelt did. Purefur also got one, despite just being a warrior, and Leaffeather wondered if she was indeed special.

Then he saw he was finished sorting herbs and thought that was fast, so he decided to see what to do next. Then he looked out of the den and saw Tawnyclaw, Sunstrike, their siblings, and Silverkit all together in a group slightly at an angle across the mouth of the den. Leaffeather had no interest in gossip unlike his fellow generation and the next, but he thought that if he learned of new relationships in the Clan, he can keep an eye on any kits to be coming, like Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike.

Tawnyclaw was flirting with Sunstrike as usual. "I caught some fresh mice for you, and no one else is allowed to even put a paw on them, Sunstrike."

Sunstrike beamed. "Thanks, but I also caught some mice. They're for you, too," and she giggled. Tawnyclaw just nodded and put his tail on her paws. He thought Sunstrike was an interesting she-cat ever since apprenticehood. Burntfur and Yarrowlight were also interesting but they were his sister or a tom.

Burntfur, Yarrowlight and Silverkit had noticed their love moment and decided to tease them.

"Hey, so when will we get to see more kits in the nursery?" Burntfur teased, and Yarrowlight added, "I hope you have many litters!"

Silverkit added the cherry on the icing by saying, "I would *love* to have more kit friends, even when I'm an apprentice! And get to talk to another queen. The other queens will like you and assist you during kitting, too!"

Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike blushed and ran away from the three, who burst out laughing. They went behind the medicine cat's den and Sunstrike groaned, "Those two are so annoying but I didn't think Silverkit would join the fray."

"Guess he is also starting to like gossip from those two," Tawnyclaw joked. Sunstrike nodded. "Hopefully Hopekit and Heatherkit don't become like them because they will be medicine cats," she replied with the hope that they wouldn't.

Tawnyclaw nodded positively. "Yep, they have to be really serious. No joke time! And hard prophecies and weird dreams, too! Well, that's why I didn't become a medicine cat!" Tawnyclaw stopped suddenly as he thought Leaffeather might have heard. "Hopefully Leaffeather didn't hear that and get offended. He's right inside of this den."

Sunstrike chuckled. "Yep, but Hopekit and Heatherkit might have also heard, because this camp is really small and cramped. I always tend to be suffocated, you know, and cats overhear easily, like if someone yells at the top of their lungs, the entire Clan can wake up immediately, despite being on opposite sides of the camp. I wonder if they will expand the camp soon."

Tawnyclaw nodded. "Well, hopefully! I don't always want to go on patrol only to talk to you. We need our own corner, too! For cats who want to talk in secret, you know!"

Sunstrike nodded in response and sighed. "Maybe they will do it soon! More kits are coming, especially with Dewflower in the nursery."

"That's true! But I would think that since there's no other groups around next to us to attack us, they should have done it before," Tawnyclaw said a little longingly.

"Well, yeah, me too. There's not much to set up, except maybe another den, like the elder's den. I am pretty sure there isn't one."

"Should we suggest this to Bravestar?"

"I guess so? It's a great idea and he does usually listen to everyone."

Leaffeather listened to this, and he did think it was a good idea, but not only so that some Clanmate could eavesdrop on another, which he was doing right now, but that didn't matter. He thought it would be better because more cats could be spread out as the Clan had grown substantially from three cats, or nine cats, which he had remembered as a kit in this life, and have more of an area to hide and defend the Clan.

So he decided to tell his parents who was in the leader's den next to him. Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike didn't notice him walk towards the leader's den as they were too engrossed in their conversation.

Tawnyclaw requested Sunstrike to come with him into the forest and she agreed, of course. Tawnyclaw wanted to tell her something really secret that no one should see or hear, not even mature cats who wouldn't tattletale, or their mothers or his father.

Leaffeather told Bravestar and Shadowcreek about the expansion, and he did give credit to Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike, obviously. They both told their son that they were *indeed* thinking about it, but they needed to plan it out first as it was a big thing to do, and it could be world-changing, too, as some secret could be hiding in the area they choose. They also had to make sure that the area they chose to occupy was livable enough. They said that the camp was filled with trees, and they only had a rock barrier, so warriors had to learn how to navigate around the trees and familiarize themselves, and build a rock barrier.

Leaffeather understood, but he also asked about an elders' den when there came to be elders that retired. Shadowcreek said that she and Bravestar were thinking about moving the nursery to the new den and making the nursery the elders' den so that the nursery can be all the way in the back and protected. They would also have to build the new nursery, and make it more spacious, as the current nursery was pretty cramped.

Leaffeather remembered being a kit in the nursery with five other kits and two queens, and even then there wasn't a ton of space to walk around without stepping on another cat's moss bed. He looked at the state of the nursery now and he noticed that queens and their kits were sharing large moss beds that were joint with each other, and almost no space to walk around.

He understood why the kits always wanted to leave the nursery and wander around the camp so much, and so he agreed with Shadowcreek's idea.

Leaffeather said that it was high time to expand, and his parents both agreed and decided to tell the camp about it and plan for it, and first, they would have to plan the layout. Building a barrier would take a lot of time, especially with collecting the rocks themselves so they couldn't dismantle the barrier that was between the camp and that area until it was built.

Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike were in an area close to camp, but still in the forest obscured by many trees, so their small moments would stay secret. Tawnyclaw thought this was the perfect moment, as his fur brushed hers and they touched noses. "You know, I may have confessed this about you to Burntfur. And I think you might now what I am going to say," Tawnyclaw whispered.

Sunstrike just laughed. "I am pretty sure we both know it."

They both laughed. "So," started Tawnyclaw in a suggestive tone, "will you be be my mate?"

Sunstrike rolled her eyes. "The answer was always yes!" They both started playing around and Tawnyclaw jumped onto her back in a kittenish way, and in anticipation for something he was waiting for, and probably Sunstrike, too.

Emberheart had been watching them, as he was just finished training Crescentpaw, and decided to follow them secretly, and hid behind a tree. He just smiled as he thought about the kits that were destined to come sooner or later. He was not a tattletale, definitely, but he thought he should tell Leaffeather and Greenmoon so they can be aware if Sunstrike may be expecting or not. He thought Sootmist and Fierylight would be happy to be grandmothers and Yarrowlight, Burntfur, and Hopekit to be uncle and aunts, and he wondered what the kits would look like.

He remembered when Islandtusk was having kits and it was definitely not pretty as he had to do it with her in secrecy. And there was definitely no love, just a deal between the two that he would have kits for his legacy to live on and Islandtusk would be able to rebel against Reedstar, which seemed weird to think about now. He also remembered getting exiled and going through a ton of trouble and the civil battle happening half because of this mating. And being a father without the kits having a mother was pretty terrible for him and his kits, but he was happy when Gardenflower, actually Rainleaf, started a relationship with Snowpounce, the son of another legacy prophecy cat, Skysoar (and also Snowpounce was also her first cousin through Daisyfox), and when Sandleap said he wanted to be a great warrior.

Then he thought about his current life and how it would be much different having kits. Unlike last time, he would be encouraged to have kits, especially being a legacy prophecy cat. He would be congratulated for being a father, and his mate would be happy to say to the entire Clan she was expecting his kits with no controversy. But he also remembered the reason why he became a medicine cat, Cinderpelt. He wasn't interested in having kits or mating, and never planned to, as he was only interested in helping the entire Clan with injuries and sicknesses until he got those dreams of the Legacy Prophecy along with Bluetail, who was also special.

Then things started changing, and he knew he had to mate one time or another before he died. And he made the right decision. But he wasn't ever interested in mating, or ever in love. Every member of the Clan he only loved like family, and not a mate, as he still had the medicine cat attitude from his previous life. He wondered how he would find a mate if he wasn't ever in love, but he figured that if some she-cat became interested in him, then he could take her as a mate to have kits with.

When Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike were finished, the tom had one thing on his mind. "Do you think we should have kits right now?"

Sunstrike seemed to be thinking deeply about this. "Well, since we don't have to fight DarkClan right now, maybe. Also, I think Shadowcreek and Bravestar were as old as us when they had kits. Probably only sixteen or seventeen moons old, and we're the same age, pretty much, except it takes two moons for the kits to grow inside of the mother's belly, so maybe we'll be eighteen moons old when we finally have our kits."

Tawnyclaw nodded exuberantly. "Well, yes, I think so. I think that more kits will be good for the Clan, too, although it is small and the DarkClan battle may still be looming around. I'm afraid our kits will still be kits during that battle and you will still be a queen if it happens... which I don't know when it happens."

Sunstrike shrugged. "I suppose so, so maybe we should have kits *after* the battle." Then her ears perked up with an idea. "But what about your mentor?"

"Former mentor? Oh right, she is a prophecy cat and she can see the future!" Tawnyclaw realized, remembering Destinyflower teaching him about the Light & Dark prophecy because she was still expecting and couldn't do much else with him, but he was too confused on how it worked until he witnessed her use her foreseeing powers on Dewflower, the newest queen to join the nursery, and probably won't be leaving for another eight moons.

"But how would she know the exact time, though?" Tawnyclaw wondered, and Sunstrike looked at him with a coy, mocking expression. "Really? I am surprised you didn't realize it, but I am pretty sure age of the kits and the current season can tell everything."

"Yeah, but we wouldn't know if it was either seven or eight moons into the future," Tawnyclaw replied a little sadly. "A moon difference may not seem like much, but if we are planning to have kits, that is a lot of time."

"We don't have to think *that* far ahead, if that is true," Sunstrike consoled him. "We need to prepare for it, but we don't need to rack our nerves worrying about it. Also, if we have kits, we don't have that much time to spend together because I will be in the nursery for a lot of time before I get to leave, which is when our kits will be apprentices, so... let's enjoy the time we have now, right?"

Tawnyclaw nodded in agreement and exuberance. "Yes, that will be good."

Emberheart went back and looked for Leaffeather, who he noticed was just finished talking to their parents, who were also the leader and deputy, Bravestar and Shadowcreek. Leaffeather was very happy about their approval and when he saw Emberheart, he decided to tell him about it.

"Emberheart! I'm so glad you're here," said the young medicine cat excitedly to his brother.

"Leaffeather, what happened? Is someone else expecting kits?" Emberheart asked him humorously, wondering with anticipation of what it could be.

"Even better, they will expand the camp. Now our Clan will have much more room to walk and talk about their own things. The younger generations sure love gossip apparently. The generations older than me probably gossiped more than this, though, due to their endless amount of free time."

Emberheart was surprised but in a pleasant and good way. "That *is* good. Maybe I will finally be free from their incessant chatter," he replied, and they both chuckled. In his previous life, Cinderpelt, he wasn't too close to Fallstar, they mostly had a leader-to-medicine-cat relationship, especially since Fallstar was a couple of generations older than him. But in this life, they were both equals, even littermates, and children of the *current* leader and deputy, and Emberheart thought he liked this life much better due to all of these things (including his father being alive and well unlike his previous life). He also hoped that he wouldn't die violently like Cinderpelt did, hastily gathering herbs before being slashed in his vital spots.

"I had something else to tell you, though. More room would be good because of the potential kits Tawnyclaw and Sunstrike may have," Emberheart continued, and Leaffeather raised an eyebrow. "I already heard the gossip due to the small space," he replied, but his brother shook his head.

"I meant that you should keep track. Of Sunstrike's condition," Emberheart said quickly, and Leaffeather understood. "I was thinking about that, too. Why, though, did they mate?"

Emberheart nodded. "The Clan sure is filling up quickly with the amount of kits and outsiders coming into the Clan, but especially kits."

Leaffeather agreed. "Yeah, there isn't any more space in the nursery, I am pretty sure." Then he remembered something. Hopekit and Heatherkit's visions. "Speaking of which, do you think Sunstrike, Tawnyclaw and their kits may be important? Fierylight and Hopekit are."

Emberheart thought about it, as he remembered the prophecy, too. "Yeah, I wonder about it, too. Do you think the second phrase in Heatherkit's vision has something to do with Skysoar? Because it said, 'the sky's limit may be high', so it may have to do with him, but not only his prefix, but suffix, too, as you can soar into the sky if you have wings, like a bird."

Leaffeather nodded and added, "There's also an StarClan cat who used to be SunClan named Skyhigh, which the cats who came from SunClan told about in the tale."

Emberheart agreed and replied, "Do you think it might have to do with that? It also mentioned, 'the fire may be within you', which might have something to do with Fierylight, or Firerain, Warmtail's older brother. And could Tawnyclaw, Burntfur and Hopebeam have inherited that prophetic power somehow, if that were possible?"

Leaffeather shrugged in consideration about it. "It's always possible, even if very unlikely, though for now, we don't fully understand it, so we should probably focus on the things we *do* know something about first."

Emberheart agreed with him, having memories of a medicine cat. Leaffeather also used to be Fallstar, a leader who could also get StarClan dreams, and not only medicine cats, so he knew he was definitely experienced with it, but Emberheart thought he may be the most experienced about StarClan and prophecies of the Clan now since he usually had prophetic dreams about this. Bluetail had also gotten the dream for the Legacy Prophecy, *Five cats are brave. Brave enough to continue the legacy of BraveClan. Follow their ways, and may the Clan thrive for eternity. You will see them again outside of StarClan. At the right moment.* He had managed to interpret it without much effort, despite only being an apprentice.

Leaffeather and Emberheart concluded their conversation for now, but they promised to speak about it during the meeting the nine prophecy cats and Shadowcreek and Greenmoon usually had at nighttime. They went on with their normal duties, but they still wondered about their niece, Heatherkit, and their great-aunt's daughter, Hopekit, and about Dewflower, the new queen who joined BraveClan, Frozenbreeze, the DarkClan but StarClan warrior who sacrificed himself and the unborn kits of Dewflower and potentially Sunstrike, and StarClan themselves.
