'I'm glad the clan is starting to heal, for a while I thought everyone would just get sick and die,' Jaypaw thought. "Ready to go to the moon pool" Leafpool asked. Jaypaw nodded. Littlecloud, Mothwing, and Willowshine were already waiting for them by windclan. Jaypaw avoided Willowshine, just listening to the medicine cat's talk. "Wait up!" Kestralflight called. As he padded up, they reached the moon pool. "Before we start, it is time Jaypaw became a full medicine cat." Leafpool said. 'Finally, full medicine cat' I thought. This is awesome! "Jaypaw, is it your wish to enter the mysteries of Starclan, to stand apart from clan rivalries, and to heal all cats equally?" "It is" I meowed confidently. "Then by the powers of starclan I give you your name, Jaywing." "Jaywing! Jaywing!" they called.No! I recoiled, remembering the Ancients. Broken Shadow, Stone Song... Half Moon, all of them were the Tribe's ancestors. Leafpool looked curious but didn't say anything, and the others were too busy calling my name. I forced myself to move, lapping up the icy water. When I woke I saw… "Half Moon!" I called. "Jay's wing," Her green eyes held love and pain. "I missed you" she said. "I know it is hard, with the knowledge you possess, and your name, for now though, let's relax." For the rest of the night we had fun. Eventually though I had to wake up. "Goodbye Half Moon" I whispered. "Goodbye Jay's Wing." She mewed.
Moons later, after Jaywing's second glimpse into the past
It hurt so much, I know for sure now, I love Half Moon.
That was my first thought as I "woke" from the second vision of the Tribe of Rushing Water. I still flinched sometimes, even now, when anyone called me Jaywing. Though I had no choice but to move forward. It wasn't fair though! Everyone else got who they wanted. I missed the nights in the cave, curled up beside Half Moon, her pelt brushing mine. I shook my head; I have to get back to the clan.
Moons later, at the battle against the dark forest
The tribe was here helping, and I tried to scent Half Moon. Yes, over by Firestar's den, fighting with Broken Shadow and Fish Leap. The battle was almost over. "Spottedleaf!" Firestar called. She was bleeding, I could scent it. I hurried into my den and fetched cobwebs, but I knew it was hopeless, there was too much blood. Then I heard Sandstorm wailing, "Firestar!" Firestar couldn't be dead! But he was, so was Spottedleaf. As Firestars, Hollyleaf, and those who had died stood up, and headed to Starclan. Then everyone called out "Bramblestar! Bramblestar!" It took all night to treat everyone's wounds, and at dawn I crawled into my nest.
Jay's Wing!" "Half Moon!" I called. Jay's Wing… I love you." She purred. Even though I knew it was against the warrior code I said " I love you too Half Moon." "Now, since you fulfilled the prophecy we can go back to the Tribe of Rushing Water if you want" she mewed. "Yes" I meowed instantly. We twined our tails together and woke in the Tribe of Rushing Water.
