Chapter Summary
 Firestar's PoV 


 * Firestar is walking through bushes close to the border with ShadowClan; all is peaceful and quiet, he can hear the tweeting of birds and the gurgle of the stream. Firestar lets out a purr of satisfaction; he is proud of ThunderClan, the Clan he has been leading for the past three moons. The Clans have been at peace, after the defeat of BloodClan and their leader, Scourge, and the prey has been plentiful, so no bellies are left unfilled.


 * But he knows that something will happen to cause conflict between the Clans again, but for now, he tries to concentrate on the peacefulness of the forest. Firestar can scent the Thunderpath, the calming scents of trees and green leaves and something he can't name. As he looks around for what it might be, a clump of brambles starts violetly waving, and as Firestar creeps toward it, a cat jumps out and pins Firestar down. As Firestar tries to shake of his attacker, he recognizes who it is: his apprentice, Bramblepaw. As the apprentice gets off of Firestar, he asks if Firestar noticed he was there, to admit that he was surprised. When Firestar says that Bramblepaw has squashed him 'as flat as a leaf', Bramblepaw responds by says that if he was really a ShadowClan cat, Firestar would've been crow-food.


 * Firestar is impressed with how Bramblepaw managed to hide his scent, and Bramblepaw says that he'd rolled in damp ferns before he went out of camp. Firestar is trying to shake off the memories of Bramblepaw's father, Tigerstar, because Bramblepaw inherited his fathers looks. Firestar congradulates Bramblepaw on a successful assessment, and Bramblepaw wonders aloud if his sister, Tawnypaw, would be close to the end of her apprenticeship, and Firestar says because they started their apprenticeships at the same time.



Errors

 * Redstar is mistakenly said to be a bracken-colored tom.
