CHAPTER 28
The first faint streaks1 of dawn were showing as Firestar approached Fourtrees. Pausing on the bank of the stream, he glanced back at the warriors3 who followed him. His heart swelled4 with pride as his gaze traveled over each one. Sandstorm, his beloved; Graystripe, the truest friend any cat ever had; Brackenfur, sensible and loyal; Whitestorm, his wise deputy; Thornclaw, the newest warrior2 of ThunderClan, looking tense and eager at the prospect6 of his first battle; Longtail, who had discovered at last where his heart lay; Frostfur and Mousefur, a formidable pair of she-cats; Dustpelt, reserved but true-hearted, and his apprentice8, Ashpaw; Firestar’s own apprentice, Bramblepaw, a glow in his amber9 eyes and his fur bristling10; and Cloudtail, wayward but committed to his C l an, with Brightheart, the cat he had brought back from the brink11 of death. Pain like claws tore at Firestar’s heart as he realized how much they meant to him, and what fearful danger they were facing now.
He raised his voice so that they could all hear him. “You know what lies ahead of us,” he meowed. “I only want to say one thing. Ever since StarClan placed the four Clans12 in the forest, no leader ever had a band of warriors like you. Whatever happens, I want you to remember that.”
“There was never a leader like you, Firestar,” meowed Graystripe.
Firestar shook his head, his throat too choked for words. It was just like Graystripe to compare him to the truly great leaders like Bluestar, but he knew how far short of that he fell. He could only resolve to do his best to live up to his friends’ trust in him.
