Chapter description[]
- The moor cats are eager to find the Blazing Star, and as Tall Shadow's patrol begins to head out, every cat tries to follow. They protest when she tells them to stay, and Thunder stops it by offering to go, as does Mouse Ear. Gray Wing offers to go as well, but Thunder tells him to stay behind. Pebble Heart begs to go with the patrol, and Thunder, knowing that the kit is special, allows it. On the way, One Eye attacks Thunder over a bird, thinking that Thunder is stealing it, and the cats realize that the bird is sick. Clear Sky arrives with Petal, Birch, and Alder, and Tall Shadow explains the Blazing Star plant to Clear Sky, who is annoyed about being left out and decides to accompany them.
- When Clear Sky sends One Eye away, he leaves with a warning. Mouse Ear tries to warn Clear Sky about One Eye, but he is dismissive. When they reach the Thunderpath, Mouse Ear teaches them to wait and feel it for vibrations from monsters before crossing. They arrive at a marsh where the Blazing Star is located, and they find a small, five-petaled flower. The cats debate what the spirit-cats' message means, and Thunder asks Pebble Heart, who believes that change is coming. Tall Shadow and Clear Sky each take some of the flowers to ponder it with their cats, and as they wait to cross the Thunderpath again, Tall Shadow seems enamored with the marsh. On the other side, Clear Sky departs from the group, and Thunder wonders about their safety.
