Feeling pain as I was slammed against the ground
The teeth of the dog clenched around my tail
Feeling dead
I thought I had died
Cloudtail saved me
I felt alive again
The cats that shied from my face
Gave me strength to become better
My name, Lostface, made me want to be its opposite
I trained
With my own method
Learning to fight
The final confrontation
Against the Clan of Blood
I proved my worth
Got my name
"Brightheart, Brightheart!"
I survived the journey
Through the mountains,
To the lake
I watched my daughter
Get her warrior name
"Whitewing, Whitewing!"
But at that time SHE had come
My challenger
That stupid worthless cat
From the Horseplace
Sitting in the nursery,
Eating our fresh-kill,
Stealing my mate
"Cloudtail, Cloudtail!"
I hated her
Her soft fur
Her perfect face
I spent time with my sister
In the medicine den
Medicine den
"Cinderpelt, Cinderpelt!"
My sister perished
Under a badger's claws
Saving my brother's kits
That worthless queen fled
But my mate saw her for who she was
A fake, a fake
The flowery fake
She deserved that heartbreak
But I felt sad
And we became somewhat friends
"Daisy, Daisy!"
We somehow became friends
She wasn't that worthless at all
She helps the queens,
Including my own daughter
Who has given birth to two
My kin,
My legacy,
"Dovekit, Ivykit!"
I have made peace with myself,
My rivals,
My heart
I feel I deserve my name,
"Brightheart, Brightheart!"
