The kits are born but are very weak and soon are overcome with a horrible illness that claims the life of Firekit. Owlkit is nearly killed by this illness, she breifly stops breathing before Pebblestep brings her back to life.

### Waging War Arc

Owlkit is still living in the nursery with her siblings. She continues to struggle from an illness which presents itself in the form of a cough that acts up if she moves to much. Briarrose is also shown to be especially overprotective of her, much to her own annoyance. She is also much smaller than her siblings who have grown to the size of normal kits by now. Owlkit hates being pitied by every single cat she meets and is desperate to prove herself. When they are finally made apprentice she is given Earthpelt as a mentor.

As she starts her training, Owlpaw struggles with her training and is unable to catch prey and fails at battle training, which continues to damage her self-esteem. At her first gathering the leaders announce that StarClan wants each Clan to send two cats on a mission beyond the mountains, a mentor and apprentice. Owlpaw desperately wants it to be her, but accepts that it won't be. However, Dawnstar does end up chosing Earthpelt and Owlpaw to represent SunClan.

Owlpaw is taught herbs by Pebblestep for the journey and they take off along with Leafdawn and Slatepaw of AshClan, Blossomheart and Leopardpaw of MoonClan and Seedclaw and Fennelpaw of LichenClan. The journey starts off easy, but they soon encounter a dog. Owlpaw manages to get away and even save Slatepaw, but Blossomheart is wounded. Owlpaw heals her injury but it halts their journey for a few days. They keep travelling and Owlpaw attempts to scout out a river only for the branch to break and her to fall in the river. She nearly drowns but is saved by a loner named Sheer Mountain.

They move into Sheer Mountain's home where they eventually learn their mission is to create a new Clan with Sheer Mountain as the leader. While in the mountains, the Clan cats and Sheer Mountain are attacked by a group of rogues. Afterwards, Owlpaw finds an injured rogue named Nettle. Owlpaw takes it upon herself to heal Nettle which enrages Sheer Mountain. Owlpaw and Nettle are attacked by a rogue named Raptor and both of them are nearly killed, but Nettle saves Owlpaw and Sheer Mountain welcomes her into her home.

A moon passes and they struggle with their mission, Owlpaw tries her best to heal Sheer Mountain's father Tumbleweed who has come down with a mysterious ailment, however Mosscloud tells her that he cannot be saved. Despite her best efforts, Tumbleweed dies and Owlpaw blames herself. Sheer Mountain afterwards tells Owlpaw that she will become the leader of this new Clan. They work together to recruit new Clanmates and Owlpaw is guided to a kittypet named Cocoa who will be the new medicine cat and Owlpaw helps to train her. When the Clan is finally formed, the new Clan starts the journey back to the mountains.

Owlpaw painfully says goodbye to Sheer Mountain and the others and returns to SunClan where she is welcomed back. She also tells Pebblestep and Honeyfrost that she wants to be a medicine cat and is made Honeyfrost's apprentice.

Owlpaw is happy a SunClan apprentice but eventually begins to struggle with feeling like burden. Most notably while Petalbreeze is giving birth. She is snapped at and sent away by Honeyfrost who later apologizes for snapping at her. She has several ups and downs with her apprentice ship, but is managing better. While leaf-bare moves into the forest, Owlpaw gets whitecough and gets very sick to the point of fainting. While unconscious she gets a terrible omen from StarClan and sees a vision of a blood moon.

She is very shaken by this and is anxious for answers at the next half-moon. She learns at the Spirit Garden that Mothflower has left her position as MountainClan's medicine cat and the blood moon was an omen of war. Owlpaw gets incredibly frustrated with StarClan demanding so much of her and snaps at Mosscloud. Mosscloud promises her she is not alone

Afterwards she gets permission to visit MountainClan and promises to help in any way that she can. She decides to stop by MoonClan camp to ask Oneflight to help MountainClan if needed, but while there she discoveres MoonClan in the middle of a battle with AshClan. She helps Oneflight with injured cats but also witnesses the death of Shadowstar who is killed by Riverstar. She is horrified by this as Violetfur declares war on AshClan.

She returns to SunClan to tell Dawnstar what happened and is incredibly frustrated when Dawnstar choses not to do anything.

At the next half-moon, Honeyfrost decides to give Owlpaw her full medicine cat name, despite her young age and short amount of training. She is granted the name Owlbreeze, but she questions if she deserves it or not. She later is woken by an owl and she follows it into the forest as it leads her to the MoonClan border. She then understands that the cat who is supposed to be MountainClan's next medicine cat is her. She is visited again by Mosscloud who tells her its ultimately her choice.

Owlbreeze decides to become MountainClan's medicine cat and tells Dawnstar, followed by her family. Her family is broken hearted and confused, but ultimately accept her choice. Owlbreeze, along with Flamepetal, leave SunClan and she becomes MountainClan's permanant medicine cat.
