CHAPTER 12
Firepaw peered over the browof a bush-covered slope. Graypaw and Ravenpaw crouched1 beside him. Next to them a group of ThunderClan elders, queens, and warriors4 waited in the undergrowth for Bluestar to give the signal.
Firepaw had not been to this place since his first journey with Lionheart and Tigerclaw. The steep-sided glade5 looked different now. The rich greenness of the woods had been bleached6 away by the cold light of the full moon, and the leaves on the trees glowed silver. At the bottom stood the large oaks that marked where the corner of each Clan2’s territory touched the other three.
The air was thick with the warm scents8 of cats from the other Clans9. Firepaw could see them quite clearly in the moonlight, moving about below in the grassy10 clearing that lay between the four oaks. In the center of the clearing, a large, jagged rock rose from the forest floor like a broken tooth.
“There’s Crookedstar!” Graypaw hissed back. “RiverClan’s leader.”
“Where?” Firepaw mewed, nudging Graypaw impatiently.
“That light-colored tabby, beside the Great Rock.”
Firepaw followed Graypaw’s nod and saw a huge tom, even bigger than Lionheart, sitting at the center of the clearing. His striped coat shone pale in the moonlight. Even from this distance, his old face showed the signs of a harsh life, and his mouth looked twisted, as if it had once been broken and had healed badly.
“Hey!” mewed Graypaw. “Did you see Sandpaw spit when I told her I hoped she had a nice evening at home?”
