 * Firestar is hunting in StarClan. Bluestar and him talk about the future of ThunderClan following the Great Battle and a difficult leaf-bare.
 * Cloudstar, the ancient SkyClan leader, wakes up Firestar and tells him that one clan cannot survive without another sometimes, and that saving SkyClan was important
 * Cloudstar also delivers the prophecy Firestar must tell Bramblestar by slicing his paw over a lake; "When water meets blood, blood will rise."
 * Cloudstar doesn't tell Firestar what it means, just that Bramblestar will know what it means when he needs too.
 * Cloudstar doesn't tell Firestar what it means, just that Bramblestar will know what it means when he needs too.


 * After noting to himself that ThunderClan can only get stronger, Bramblestar joins a patrol consisting of Berrynose, Millie, Rosepetal, Spiderleg, and Amberpaw.
 * On their way to the WindClan border, Amberpaw is noted to be very outgoing and uncontrollable, and Spiderleg, her mentor, is trying different ways to control her.
 * They pass Leafpool, who is bundling herbs for Jayfeather.
 * Millie notes that Briarlight's exercises are keeping her chest clear.
 * Bramblestar thinks about how terrible the disease was that ravaged their camp the previous season, having killed Toadstep, Icecloud, and Hazeltail.
 * Amberpaw wants to mark the border, and instead falls into a stream.
 * As they are hauling Amberpaw out, a WindClan patrol appears and taunts ThunderClan, saying that they don't regard boundaries. Rosepetal hops the stream and faces the WindClan warriors herself. Two of the warriors surround her and Bramblestar demands she gets back on the ThunderClan side of the water. Bramblestar explains what has happened and then the two clans make idle chat before turning away to head back to their respective camps.
 * Berrynose begins to talk about how their are no expecting she-cats and that ThunderClan will need more warriors. Bramblestar believes that Berrynose is finally maturing.
