#### Chapter 6

It is the night of a gathering. When WindClan arrives, Hivepelt and Silverberry join the other medicine cats below the great rock. The others look at them warmly, and Junglefoot purrs a greeting as he steps forward to bump heads with Hivepelt.

#### Chapter 22

When the RiverClan cats reach the WindClan camp after the attack, Shimmerstar turns to her warriors and quietly tells them to help the wounded if they can, as Hivepelt and Silverberry would appreciate the help.

#### Chapter 28

During Shimmerstar's meeting, she says that all the clans suffered at the gathering, noting that three of the medicine cats were killed: Junglefoot, Hivepelt, and Flowerwing.

By the medicine den, Otterpelt stares at her paws, her eyes filled with grief for her lost friends. Iceslide silently notes that they're lucky they didn't lose her.

### Starfaith's Fate

#### Chapter 2

On their way to the Moonstone, Silverberry tells Starpaw that it took her longer than most apprentices to memorize the uses of different herbs. She felt like a failure and considered becoming a warrior apprentice instead, but Hivepelt was kind and patient with her. He believed she would be a good medicine cat as long as she continued to work hard and believe in herself. Silverberry's eyes shine as she concludes that Hivepelt was right, in time she mastered her skills, and now she is passing them down to Starpaw.

When Starpaw awakes in StarClan, she is greeted by Hivepelt. He pads toward her, his eyes shining with welcome. Starpaw stares at the warrior of StarClan in awe before she finds the courage to speak and asks who he is. Hivepelt dips his head and introduces himself, adding that he was Silverberry's mentor. He says he is happy to meet her, and that Silverberry made a great choice. Starpaw thanks him and says it's an honor to meet him, hoping that she'll be a great medicine cat. Hivepelt steps back as Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose speak with Starpaw.

When Starpaw questions the rustling bushes and yellow eyes watching them (Sunripple), Hivepelt's eyes flicker with something unreadable.

#### Chapter 4

Starpaw notes that in each of her four visits to StarClan, she has been greeted by Dreamwhisper, Weaselnose, and Hivepelt. She finds it incredible that despite having never known some of these cats in the living world, they've become dear friends to her in StarClan.
