 * speaker c=Storm
 * quote c=Was killing her courageous?
 * speaker d=Clear Sky

{{Dialogue a-b
 * speaker a = Star Flower
 * quote a = It's hard for a loner. I know you don't trust me, but you should. I was loyal to my father to the end. Isn't that true loyalty?
 * speaker b = Clear Sky
 * quote b = I can't let you join us. Your father hurt a lot of my cats. They wouldn't thank me for bringing you back to camp.
 * speaker c = Star Flower
 * quote c = And what if your cats told you they didn't mind? Would you take me then?
 * speaker d = Clear Sky
 * quote d = I can't. Not after what your father did.

 * quote b = We're nothing alike. I've never betrayed any cat.
 * speaker c = Star Flower
 * quote c = I'm not sure Gray Wing would agree to that. Or Thunder. Or Jagged Peak. Or Rainswept Flower. I understand you, Clear Sky. You've had to make hard decisions to protect the cats in your care. And sometimes it meant doing things you regretted. If could take back some of the things I've done, I would.

{{Dialogue a-b
 * speaker a= Thunder
 * quote a = I thought, when I came here, that I could help you lead. But you're not interested in my opinion. You always ignore my advice. It's pointless, me being here.
 * speaker b = Clear Sky
 * quote b = Did you think you'd get special treatment because you're my son?
 * speaker c = Thunder
 * quote c = No! I was no cat's son on the moor, but the cats there respected me.
 * speaker d = Clear Sky
 * quote d = So you're abandoning us because you're not getting the respect you deserve?
 * speaker e = Thunder
 * quote e = I'm leaving because I don't want to watch you make any more dumb decisions.
 * speaker f = Clear Sky
 * quote f = I've explained why I won't let cats hunt more prey.
 * speaker g = Thunder
 * quote g = That's not the dumb decision I meant.
 * speaker h = Clear Sky
 * quote h = You mean Star Flower.
 * speaker j = Thunder
 * quote j = You should banish her from the forest. She's nothing but trouble.
 * speaker k = Clear Sky
 * quote k = Stop acting like a kit who's upset because he can't get the first pick of prey from the fresh-kill pile!
 * speaker l = Thunder
 * quote l = I'm not!
 * speaker m = Clear Sky
 * quote m = I'm your father. You can't tell me who I can take as a mate any more than you can tell me how to lead my group.
 * speaker n = Thunder
 * quote n = That's the problem, Clear Sky. I can't tell you anything. You think you know it all. But you don't! You can't tell good from bad. You never could. But you're so determined to be 'right', you'll twist everything to prove it. If you mistook a fox for a rabbit, you'd keep calling it a rabbit while it tore out your throat, just because you'd rather die than admit you were wrong.

{{Dialogue a-b
 * speaker a=Quiet Rain
 * quote a = I did not think I could raise a kit to kill a Tribemate.
 * speaker b = Clear Sky
 * quote b = You didn't understand what it was like! We were in a strange land where the rules of living were very different from what they'd been in the mountains. We had no Stoneteller to advise us. I thought I was doing the right thing!
 * speaker c = Quiet Rain
 * quote c = To turn on your kin and Tribemates? To slay them?
 * speaker d = Clear Sky
 * quote d = I made a mistake. You have to forgive me. You're my mother. I'm sorry.

 * quote b=Why would I think that?
 * speaker c=Thunder
 * quote c=We don't always trust the same cats.
 * speaker d=Clear Sky
 * quote d=We've had our differences. But that's been my fault. I should've been a better father to you. My new kits have made me realize how much I failed you.
 * speaker e=Thunder
 * quote e=You didn't fail me. I guess I just wasn't the son you you wanted.
 * speaker f=Clear Sky
 * quote f=That's not true! I was just too thickheaded to realize how special you are. I'm proud of the cat you've become. I'm proud you're my son, and I'm sorry I missed the chance to be a proper father to you.
 * speaker g=Thunder
 * quote g=Well, you can make that up with your new family.
 * speaker h=Clear Sky
 * quote h=I love my new family. But they helped me realize how much I love you. I'm just sorry I couldn't show you that in the past. But I hope you will always come to me if you need help. I hope you will share your joys and worries with me, whatever they are. It's too late for me to be the father you should have had. But I hope that one day I can become as important to you as Gray Wing.

{{Dialogue a-b
 * speaker a = Clear Sky
 * quote a = I said Gray Wing saved my kits. But I didn't just mean Tiny Branch, Dew Petal, and Flower Foot. I meant you too. I didn't look after you when you needed me. Gray Wing did. He was more of a father to you than I ever was, and I'm grateful to him for that.

{{quote
 * quote=And yet Gray Wing recognized the determined gaze he'd known as a kit when they'd shared a nest in the mountains and explored the cave together. It had been Clear Sky who cajoled and bullied him into taking his first peek at the snow beyond the waterfall. Whatever had happened in Gray Wing's life, Clear Sky had been apart of it, and whatever troubles they had faced, Clear Sky had always had his gaze fixed bravely on the distant horizon. "SkyClan," Gray Wing breathed, reaching for his brother's gaze with the dark knowledge that he'd see it no more.
