Chapter SummaryEdit
Jayfeather is currently giving Briarlight strengthening exercises, dropping a pebble farther and farther away from her to let her reach for it. He then checks her spine again, checking on her muscles and fur before and beyond the break. Briarlight boasts about climbing trees while Jayfeather searches with his mind for Mothwing. He cannot probe her mind, yet again, but he leaves camp alone. Lionblaze asks to go but Jayfeather says no, though Lionblazes tells him that if he did not come back by sunset, he would come looking for him.

Jayfeather crosses the WindClan border, and meets Onestar, who asks him where he is going. Jayfeather replies that he is going to see Mothwing, and Onestar remarks that he though the medicine cats no longer saw each other. Jayfeather tells him that it is StarClan's wish, not his. Onestar is surprised, and wonders whether Jayfeather would disobey StarClan. Jayfeather says yes, but does not apologize. He mistakenly angers the WindClan leader by trying to warn him about the Dark Forest, but Onestar argues that his warriors are all loyal, before watching Jayfeather leave.

Jayfeather finally arrives in RiverClan, and is confronted by Beetlewhisker , Troutstream , and Mintfur. Beetlewhisker tells Jayfeather that he is not a medicine cat anymore, and should therefore leave. Mintfur tells the two bristling toms that Mistystar should decide whether he could talk to Mothwing. The four cats cross the river using a large fallen tree, and Jayfeather, suddenly wishing that Lionblaze had come with him, is confronted again by Heronpaw and Rushtail, who silences her apprentice when he complains. Mothwing comes to him, and turns Willowshine away when she tries to join in the conversation. Mothwing tells Jayfeather that faith is getting in the way of their Clans' minds, and asks him what to do. They talk some more, until Mistystar tells Jayfeather that he needs to leave. Mothwing volunteers to talk to the other medicine cats as he leaves, escorted by Reedwhisker, Hollowflight , Minnowtail , and Beetlewhisker.

After leaving RiverClan territory, Jayfeather discovers that he is too far inland to get home safely. Muttering, he begins to travel towards the lake. Suddenly, Jayfeather is attacked by Tigerstar, Brokenstar , and Hawkfrost , who bite his tail and slash his muzzle with their claws. Terrified, Jayfeather fights back, only to have the Dark Forest cats disappear before he can hurt them. Confused, he is found by a WindClan patrol including Owlwhisker, Nightcloud , and Gorsetail_(P3) , who think he has gotten caught on a thornbush. After rescuing him, Crouchpaw and Nightcloud are wary of him, thinking that he killed Flametail. They are silenced by Gorsetail, who tells him that he needs their help, no matter who he is.

As the WindClan patrol returns Jayfeather to ThunderClan, Nightcloud and Crouchpaw set off to hunt, while Owlwhisker and Gorsetail stay with Jayfeather on the way to the ThunderClan camp. They are met by Mousefur and Purdy, who originally think WindClan is invading. Firestar is angry, telling Jayfeather that he was no longer a medicine cat. Jayfeather goes to his den as the WindClan patrol leaves, and Brightheart tells him uncertainly that she is expecting kits again. He snaps at her twice, and leaves her shocked and angry at his tone. Briarlight, however, is thrilled. When Briarlight asks him what was going on, he tucks his nose under his paw and falls asleep with weariness.
