It was a very sunny day. The light shined on the Mirageclan camp, and birds chirped. Everyone was in good health and condition, and the weather was quite nice. Mirageclan was fruitful in prey this greenleaf, and for a while, there was nothing to report. The river ran refreshing water as usual, fish leaped in the pond. Fruit grew on the trees, and herbs seemed to grow everywhere. The medicine cat, Whisperpetal, was very happy with the large supply of herbs. Prey ran all around the forest, and there was always enough. Their lives were happy at this time.

Windpaw sat in the medicine cat's den, licking his injured leg. He tried to get up, but Whisperpetal pushed him down. She could be very rude sometimes, he thought. She wasn't your average, nice, medicine cat. But then again, thought Windpaw, she's just trying to help me. She didn't push me to be mean. Windpaw grumbles at Whisperpetal, and he tries again. This time, he manages to get on his paws. A current of pain lances through his leg, and he shrieks. "Ow, ow ow ow ow ! That hurts!" He collapses onto the ground. He looks up at Whisperpetal, expecting sympathy, love, anything. Instead he sees irritation, anger. "I told you not to walk on that leg! Don't put pressure on it! Don't! Don't!" Windpaw decides to change the subject. "Uh… I'm past the age of becoming a warrior! Ever since the… incident… I was never made a warrior because… because of the attack, and the fact that I just ran in there, that I disgraced Starclan, it wasn't my prophecy, I got hurt, Sakura disappeared, everyone feels sorry for me, and I can't even walk!" Windpaw's voice was getting louder, he was really irritated, and he couldn't take it anymore! Everyone felt sorry for him, but it was HIS fault that his sister Sakurawing disappeared! What if she was dead? Maybe she had sacrificed her life to give her Clan a good greenleaf! Maybe if he hadn't gone, and tried to be who he wasn't, Sakura wouldn't have gone!

Tears were forming in his eyes. His voice was getting very loud now. "It's my fault that Sakurawing is gone! Everyone feels sorry for me, because I can't DO anything! I can! I can prove it! I want to be a warrior! Then I'll avenge her, I promise I will!" He ran, although his leg hurt him very much. There was something no one saw. No one except Shadowgale. There was an invisible bandage on his leg, and then the fire inside his heart flared up, and… the bandage broke, and the leg… it grew strong again. Windpaw's love for Sakurawing was healing him! Whisperpetal sensed something, as well. A star glowing on his chest. But that's impossible! Thought Whisperpetal. He's not a leader of a Clan… He glanced at Froststar. His star was still there. Is there… is it…. The Clan of Stars? Is he the leader of Starclan? Images flashed before her eyes. Well…. This is interesting, she thought.
