The Sun Trail/Chapter 23

Chapter Summary
 Gray Wing's POV 
 * After Gray Wing leaves Clear Sky's territory, he couldn't stop worrying about Jagged Peak. There weren't any cats to tell him how his little brother was doing and he wishes he still had Turtle Tail to talk to. He realises he's been missing her even since she left to live with Bumble. She hadn't come to visit as she promised and though Gray Wing sometimes picks up her scent on the giant rock beneath the four oaks, he'd never see her there.


 * Dappled Pelt stays with Skystar|Clear Sky for the next half moon, the sun setting when she finally makes it back to the hollow, shaking her pelt in annoyance as she padded down to join the others. She exclaims that any cat would think Clear Sky was trying to hold her prisoner and she's been stuck in his so-called camp, with hardly enough room to stretch her legs. Gray Wing asks about Jagged Peak and Dappled Pelt replies he can use his leg again, he's still limping badly but he should improve with time. She flops down beside Shattered Ice and remarks it's good to be back.


 * Hawk Swoop says she's glad to see her and tells Dappled Pelt she's expecting kits with Jackdaw's Cry and was worried she wouldn't be back in time; Cloud Spots is great, but not the most sympathetic cat on the moor. Gray Wing and Shattered Ice congratulate Hawk Swoop and Dappled Pelt says that it's not the best time to have kits with the cold season coming, but she and Cloud Spots will gather herbs so they'll have everything to assist her if there's an emergency.


 * The day after, Gray Wing goes hunting on the moor with Jackdaw's Cry, Rainswept Flower and Shattered Ice.
