Lionheart (Into the Wild)

## Chapter 1

"You shouldn't be so near Twolegplace, Graypaw!" (pg. 31)

"Thank you for the introduction, Graypaw," (pg. 32)

"Bluestar, this is a *kittypet*. He should not be hunting in ThunderClan territory. Send him home to his Twolegs!" (pg. 33)

## Chapter 2

"Some are warriors. Some are too young or too old or too busy caring for kits to hunt." (pg. 36)

"Bluestar is only offering you training, young kit. There is no guarantee you would become a full warrior. It might prove too difficult for you. After all, you are used to a comfortable life." (pg. 37)

"Understand that Bluestar does not make this offer lightly," (pg. 37)

"If you wish to train with us, we will have to take you into our Clan. You must either live with us and respect our ways, or return to your Twolegplace and never come back. You cannot live with a paw in each world." (pg. 37)

"Come, Bluestar, let's not waste any more time here. We might be ready to join the other patrol at moonhigh. Tigerclaw will wonder what has become of us." (pg. 39)

## Chapter 3

"You have a lot to learn," (pg. 44)

"Even the tiniest Clan kit knows when another cat is nearby." (pg. 44)

"Can you tell if I am alone?" (pg. 44)

"That's right," (pg. 45)

"But someone else is." (pg. 45)

"This is Whitestorm," (pg. 45)

"One of ThunderClan's senior warriors." (pg. 45)

"Relax, before your fear-scent brings unwanted attention," (pg. 45)

"We are here only to take you to our camp." (pg. 45)

"Come, we can speak more once we are in the camp," (pg. 45)

"We are very close to our camp now," (pg. 46)

"There will come a time, if you are accepted into the Clan, when you will know each cat-scent by name," (pg. 47)

"Follow me!" (pg. 47)

"Just after sunhigh, when the day is hottest, is a time for sharing tongues," (pg. 47)

"Over there," (pg. 48)

"is the nursery, where the kits are cared for." (pg. 48)

"The care of our kits is shared by all of the queens," (pg. 48)

"All cats serve the Clan. Loyalty to the Clan is the first law in our warrior code, a lesson you must learn quickly if you wish to stay with us." (pg. 48)

"That tabby is Longtail. He smells your fear. They all do. You must prove to him and the other cats that your fear won't hold you back." (pg. 51)

"Do you back down from a challenge?" (pg. 51)

## Chapter 5

"Don't be too severe, Tigerclaw; it was a busy night last night. I expect they were tired," (pg. 75)

"You have not yet been signed a mentor, Firepaw," (pg. 75)

"For now, Tigerclaw and I will share your training." (pg. 75)

"There is a Twoleg path here," (pg. 76)

"Use your nose, Firepaw. Can you smell anything?" (pg. 76)

"Good," (pg. 76)

"Do you think it is safe to cross?" (pg. 76)

"This is the boundary between ThunderClan and RiverClan territory. RiverClan rules the hunting grounds beside the great river," (pg. 78)

"Breathe deeply, Firepaw." (pg. 78)

"We'll follow this boundary line, as it leads straight to Fourtrees," (pg. 78)

"As Graypaw told you," (pg. 79)

"this is Fourtrees, where the territories of all four Clans meet. WindClan governs the high ground ahead of us, where the sun sets. You won't be able to catch their scent today - the wind is blowing toward them. But you'll learn it soon enough." (pg. 79)

"You see now why prey is so precious," (pg. 79)

"Why we must fight to protect what little we have." (pg. 79)

"Don't be too fierce, TigerClaw," (pg. 80)

"The ways of the Clans are new to this apprentice." (pg. 80)

"You speak from your heart, young Firepaw. This will make you a stronger warrior one day." (pg. 80)

"The four Clans do come together peacefully, in a Gathering each moon. Here" (pg. 80)

"is where they meet. The truce lasts for as long as the moon is at its fullest." (pg. 80)

"Indeed there is!" (pg. 80)

"Tonight, in fact. The Gatherings are very important because they allow the Clans to come together in peace for one night. But you must understand that longer alliances bring more trouble than they're worth." (pg. 80)

"Come on," (pg. 81)

"Let's keep moving." (pg. 81)

"You'll see in a moment," (pg. 81)

"It's time we returned to camp," (pg. 83)

"You have seen all our boundaries now. But we'll avoid Snakerocks, even though the way around is longer. An untrained apprentice would be easy prey for an adder, and I expect you are getting tired, Firepaw." (pg. 83)

"Today we are going to practice stalking. Now, there is a big difference between creeping up on a rabbit and creeping up on a mouse. Can any of you tell me why?" (pg. 86)

"Exactly, Graypaw! So what must you bear in mind when hunting mice?" (pg. 86)

"Quite right, Firepaw. You must take all your weight into your haunches, so that your paws make no impact on the forest floor. Let's try it!" (pg. 86-87)

"Nicely done, Graypaw!" (pg. 87)

"His pace and forward movement will come later, but his crouch is perfectly balanced," (pg. 87)

"Concentrate, young Graypaw. This is no time for your jokes!" (pg. 88)

"Perhaps you might focus your mind better if you try out your stalking for real." (pg. 88)

"I want each one of you to try catching real prey," (pg. 88)

"Ravenpaw, you look beside the Owltree. Graypaw, there might be something in that big bramble patch over there. And you, Firepaw, follow the rabbit track over that rise; you'll find the dry bed of a winter stream. You may find something there." (pg. 88-89)

## Chapter 9

"Well done, you three," (pg. 141)

"I hear you've been busy. The store is almost full. You might as well add that last lot to the pile of fresh-kill for tonight. And take some of it back with you. You deserve a feast!" (pg. 141)

## Chapter 12

"The WindClan cats may just be late." (pg. 170)

"Hush! We must all be patient. These are difficult times. Now keep quiet. Bluestar will give the signal to move soon," (pg. 170)

"We warriors like to spend a little time boasting about our victories, while the elders swap tails about the ancient days before the Twolegs came here." (pg. 171)

"I suspect you're thinking of LeopardClan, young Graypaw," (pg. 175)

"Don't you youngsters know your history? LeopardClan are the swiftest cats, huge an golden, spotted with black pawprints. You can thank LeopardClan for the speed and hunting skills you now possess." (pg. 175)

"There is a trace of all the great cats in every cat today. We would not be night hunters without our TigerClan ancestors, and our love of the sun's warmth comes from LionClan" (pg. 175)

"You are a ShadowClan apprentice, Aren't you? How many moons are you?" (pg. 175-176)

"Rather small for six moons," (pg. 176)

"Well, he might be small, but at least he was curious. If only you two showed as much interest in the stories your elders tell!" (pg. 176)

"Oh, go away, the pair of you! Next time I hope Bluestar decides to bring apprentices who appreciate what they hear." (pg. 176)

## Chapter 13

"Well," (pg. 194)

"It seems that Firepaw, Graypaw, and Ravenpaw are about to reach another important stage in their training." (pg. 194)

"Bluestar wishes you three to accompany her on her journey to the Moonstone!" (pg. 194)

"Don't worry, you two; you'll make the journey soon enough. For now, ThunderClan needs your strength and skill at the camp. I will remain here also." (pg. 194-195)

"She wants you to rest now," (pg. 195)

"But first go to Spottedleaf and collect the herbs you will need on this expedition. It's a long way. You will need something to give you strength and quell your appetite. There will be little time for catching prey." (pg. 195)

"Where is Ravenpaw?" (pg. 195)

"Good. Leave him to sleep. You can fetch herbs for him," (pg. 195)

"Rest well. You leave at dawn." (pg. 195)

## Chapter 14

"Safe journey," (pg. 200)

"Remember," (pg. 200)

"you are almost a warrior. Don't forget what I have taught you." (pg. 200)
