Chapter description[]
- Three days have passed and Shadowsight continues to care for Antfur, despite the tom's continuing confusion. The young medicine cat also notes that all of his injured Clanmates were healing quickly, most of them returning to sleep in the warriors' den.
- He nudges Antfur awake and the tom mistakenly calls him Mittens. Shadowsight voices his concerns to Puddleshine, but, as they talk, Antfur seemingly returns to his normal self. The two medicine cats test him and he is able to identify them and recall what happened to him the other day. Tigerstar soon joins them in the den and Antfur tells him he is ready to patrol, despite still feeling a little dizzy. Shadowsight is hesitant to let him return to his duties, but, both Tigerstar and Antfur insist it would be good for him. The warrior uses the wrong names again, but despite this, he is allowed to go on patrol with the others.
- Later in the morning, Shadowsight tends to Snowbird's paw as the mood in camp shifts, making most ShadowClan cats on edge. He watches as Snaketooth, Blazefire, and Gullswoop enter camp, carrying Antfur's body between them. Cinnamontail races to his body and asks what happened to him. Blazefire tells his Clanmate that Antfur climbed a tree and fell, killing him. The ShadowClan cats gather around their fallen Clanmate as Shadowsight becomes worried about possible signs from StarClan. He thinks about Antfur's death as a message from them and that despite wanting to keep his promise to his father, he had to warn the other medicine cats.
