CHAPTER 18
Jayfeather paced along the edge ofthe Moonpool. The stone felt icy beneath his paws and a cold wind moaned above his head. Please, StarClan, let them come!Last night, the medicine cats had promised to meet him here.
It seemed a moon away now. When Lionblaze had revealed the prophecy that afternoon, it felt as though he’d shaken the world between his claws. Leafpool’s words echoed in his mind. You were born to save the Clans2.Hope had sparked from her pelt3, and the anger, which had been knotted around Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw for so long, finally began to unravel4.
“Watch out!” Kestrelflight snapped.
Jayfeather padded forward, feeling the rock dimpling underpaw. “Willowshine, is that you?”
“We’re here.” The RiverClan medicine cat followed the spiraling path toward the Moonpool. “Mothwing sends good wishes.”
“Why didn’t you wait for us by the stream?” Kestrelflight bounded down to join them.
“I wasn’t sure you’d come.” Jayfeather shifted his paws.
Littlecloud padded stiffly into the hollow, his old bones tired from the journey. “We told you we would be here.”
“I’ve had to leave a camp full of sneezing warriors10.” Kestrelflight fluffed out his pelt. “The first cold of leaf-bare has brought sickness.”
“Anything serious?” Littlecloud asked.
“Nothing more than runny noses and a cough or two,” Kestrelflight told him with obvious relief. “I’ve left Whitetail in charge of the herb store. She knows how to treat a sore throat.”
