CHAPTER 6
The sky above Brambleclaw’s head wasdark, but the sickly glow of fungus1 guided his paws along the path. Shadowy ferns brushed his fur with damp, sticky fronds2. Every hair on his pelt3 prickled as he bounded toward the meeting place. The pain from his wounded shoulder had vanished, and he felt stronger and more powerful with every heartbeat.
Soon the path grew wider and opened up into a clearing. Though no moon shone, a pale wash of light revealed Brambleclaw’s half brother Hawkfrost crouched4 beside a rock, where a massive tabby tom was sitting.
As Brambleclaw emerged from the trees Hawkfrost sprang to his paws and raced toward him. “Brambleclaw!” he exclaimed. “Where have you been?”
It was his first really restful night since the badger5 attack. When he closed his eyes, he had found himself back in the dark forest, as hungry as ever to find out what Tigerstar had to teach him. Brambleclaw tried to ignore the guilt6 that pricked7 at him like a stubborn thorn; there was no way he could tell Squirrelflight about walking these paths of dream and meeting Tigerstar. She would never understand that he could be loyal to his Clan8 and still see his father.
“Badgers9 attacked our camp,” he explained to Hawkfrost as they padded across the clearing side by side.
“Enough,” Brambleclaw replied grimly.
