CHAPTER 29

Tigerclaw could have been a warrior2 whose deeds would have been told to generations of kits3—if only he had chosen loyalty4 over ambition. Fireheart could almost wail5 aloud at the waste.
All around him talk was beginning to break out again, as cats mewed urgently to one another about the startling events. “Who’ll be deputy now?” he heard Runningwind ask.
Fireheart glanced at Bluestar to see if she meant to make an announcement, but she was slipping around the side of the Highrock toward her den6. Her head was down and her paws dragged as if she were ill. There would be no announcement yet.
“I think Fireheart should be deputy!” Cloudpaw declared, bouncing with excitement. “He’d do a great job!”
“Fireheart?” Darkstripe’s eyes narrowed. “A kittypet?”
Fireheart was about to haul himself to his paws and intervene when Whitestorm pushed between Darkstripe and the young apprentice8. “That’s enough,” he growled9. “Bluestar will tell us who she chooses before moonhigh. That’s the tradition.”
Fireheart let his shoulders relax as Cloudpaw scampered10 off to join the other
