CHAPTER5
Cool night air whispered through Jaypaw’sfur. Up above, he knew the half moon would be floating in a clear sky. His mentor1, Leafpool, padded beside him, following the stream that divided WindClan’s territory from ThunderClan’s.
Jaypaw’s belly3 was churning with anticipation4. Would Rock speak to him at the Moonpool? The thought that he might encounter only the cats of StarClan made his tail twitch5 with impatience6. StarClan wasn’t important, after all. They were only Clan2 cats who had moved on to a different place. The prophecy had said he would have the power of the stars in his paws. That must mean that he would be more powerful than StarClan, so why should he waste time walking with them in his dreams?
He needed to go further back, to find the ancient cats who had once gathered at the Moonpool. They must be the truly powerful cats, who would help him find his destiny.
It’s Lionpaw’s and Hollypaw’s destiny, too. Jaypaw did his best to ignore the small voice niggling at the back of his mind. His brother and sister would have to find their own source of power. He had been chosen to be a medicine cat, so this must be the right way for him alone.
“Leafpool, wait for us!”
The distant call came from WindClan territory. Leafpool halted, and Jaypaw waited by her side. Tasting the air, he picked up the scents8 of three cats: Barkface and Kestrelpaw, and Willowpaw, who must have met up with the WindClan cats on her way from RiverClan.
“Where’s Mothwing?” Leafpool asked anxiously as the other medicine cats caught up. “She’s not ill, is she?”
“No, she’s fine,” Willowpaw replied. “But Beechfur has an infected beesting, so Mothwing thought she’d better stay in camp and look after him.”
Huh!Jaypaw thought. And hedgehogs fly!He could guess why Mothwing wasn’t with her
