PROLOGUE:

The sun rose on a young Journeykit. It was a beautiful day in ThunderClan, and her littermates, Cornerkit and Shadowkit, who were still snoozing in the back of the nursery.

As for Journeykit, she was thinking about how she looked just like her mother, and she was proud of it. Her beautiful, silky light gray coat covered in scattered black speckles; her light blue eyes... Now that she thought about it.. where was Journeyspot anyways?

Suddenly, Goldstar padded into the stone hollow, looking sad. A little too sad, to be exact, and she was padding towards the nursery.

"Journeykit... I need to tell you and your brothers something. Wake them up and tell them I'm here," she ordered.

This must be the start of an adventure! "Yes, Goldstar!" she squealed silently.

She dashed towards Cornerkit and Shadowkit. "Wake up, guys, Goldstar wants to see us!"

Cornerkit stirred, got up to his paws, and shook Shadowkit gently. "Wake up, you lousy," he yawned, "slug."

Shadowkit got up to his paws too. "What do you want? It's hardly dawn!"

Still as grumpy as ever, Journeykit thought. Cornerkit mewed, "Goldstar wants to see us!" Cornerkit's still as precise as ever. He'll never use his common sense to figure out that she wants to talk to us instead of just looking at us.

Shadowkit's eyes widened. "Goldstar wants to see us?"

Journeykit mewed, "That's right! Now come on!" She dashed out of the nursery, where Goldstar was waiting for her and her brothers, who were trailing behind, Shadowkit last.

When all the of the siblings lined up, Journeykit bouncing with excitement, Goldstar sighed. "Journeykit.. this isn't the best news..."

Journeykit felt a stab of worry. "Did something bad happen?" She could see Shadowkit glancing back at Journeyspot's nest worriedly.

Goldstar continued, "Yes, Journeykit, something bad did happen. You see... Journeyspot is dead."

Journeykit's smile and excitement became a dis-lightened face and grief. "Wh- What?!"

"She was out on a stroll by the lake, and tried to fight off two WindClan warriors on our territory, insulting me and my Clan... I feel so ashamed... I just stood there and watched, too shocked to do anything..."

Shadowkit yowled, "How could you?! That was our mother you just let die!"

Cornerkit turned to Shadowkit, "Hey! Be respectful of her! She's sad and sorry about it, can't you see?"

Goldstar sighed, "Shadowkit's right, Cornerkit... I'm a failure to you... to Journeyspot... to Thunderclan."

"No you're not!" Journeykit squealed, trying to hold back her grief and, she admitted to herself, anger, "You're the best leader ever, even if you did make mistakes!"

Goldstar refused her encouragement, "Thank you, Journeykit, but... But I just need some alone time."

Journeykit watched in pity as Goldstar slumped away, clearly hating her own guts. Why do the greatest warriors have to make the worst mistakes?
