Blackstar: "Did we kill him?"
Firestar: "I dunno" *checks a huge hole on the ground*
Tigerstar:" That was my best bomb, there's just no way he's survived."
Jayfeather: "..."
Lionblaze: "C',mon! let's go tell the others!"
Light appears out of nowhere, scaring everyone. "That was close," *he glares at the Tigerstar"*
Light: "Thanks...and now...before anything...I want to set a reward for the head of Tigerstar"
Tigerstar:" WHAT?"
Heathertail's P.o.v
Heathertail winced while Jayfeather aplied a poutice in her wounds, she was still trying to figure out how Lionblaze managed to convice her to go back and get their wounds properly treated by an actual Medicine cat.
"if we want to go on we will need to get better treatment, this treatment you did it's good for emergencies, but I don't want to take any risks, especially if we'll go on a long trip"
"What?" Heathertail almost yelled "I though I did make that pretty clear, I won't go back until..."
"Until you find him, I know, but If by some extreme lucky we find out where he's gone, we won't be able to jorney like..." he gestured to them "This"
Heathertail huffed, she didn't want to admit but Lionblaze had a point...besides, they needed to give time to the wounds to heal properly, and running around wouldn't help anything.
"Okay...suppose I agree" She meowed slowly "How do you plan in getting us treated without anyone noticing?" But if she though she would make Lionblaze give up of his idea she was wrong, he instead smiled and said.
"You know, I happen to have a brother which is a Medicine cat and..."
So here they were. She though bitterly. They entered Thunderclan's territory and kept waiting at a spot, which Lionblaze said, it is where Jayfeather keep growing a few supplies of herbs. Soon enough, they saw the blind Medicine cat walking in their direction 'is that cat really blind?' she though when Jayfeather finally stopped to greet them.
"...And that's it" Lionblaze finished his story, while Jayfeather proceeded in treating Heathertail.
"That was a reckless thing to go " She heard Jayfeather mutter "You could've died, you know very well that you've lost yours powers"
"Hey I know, okay? I don't have to be reminded of it" Lionblaze shot back in a annoyed tone.'Powers? He did have...' Suddenly the pieces started to make sense, the prophecy she heard so much about, Lionblaze's suddenly strange atitude back them...She stole a glance to the blind medicine cat, it were obvious that he were one of the three too.
"Hey i'm here too you know" She said in hopes of getting more information. She saw Jayfeather gaze at Lionblaze like telling him 'She's your problem, not mine'. She huffed, 'is that cat really blind?' Heathertail felt theses blue eyes could piece right into her soul.
"Okay then." She turned to face Lionblaze, it looked like he had something important to say. "You know of the prophecy of the three right?" She nodded, every cat in the clans knew of that now.
"Then you might want to know that I am one of those three, alongside with my brother here" She just nodded, itching for him to continue, her mind were starting to swirl.
"I had the power to not be hurt in battle, while he had the power to walk in other's cat dreams and read minds" When she heard this she backed off trying to protect her thoughs...somehow.
Lionblaze had noticed this because he meowed in a conforting tone:
"Oh don't worry about that, now that the Dark Florest are gone, we've lost our powers" Lionblaze's looked at his paws. Heathertail noticed that he still weren't over his loss.
"oh...I'm sorry I...didn't know" To tell the truth she didn't know what to say, it would have been better if she just shut that big mouth of hers.
"Don't worry" he used the tip of his tail to liften her head "At least our thoughs are safe once again" He shot a look to Jayfeather, which were preparing another poultice.
"You're quite the comedian aren't you?" Jayfeather meowed grumpily
"Oh...guess I spent too much time with Foxleap" Lionblaze retorted joking.
Heathertail watched as the two brothers friendly argued, and, with a sharp pain in her heart, she remembered that She and Breezepelt used to be like this, always arguing, but never to the bad side of the thing. Suddenly Jayfeather stopped laughing, and muttered:
"I smell Ivypool and mousewhisker!" Huh?
"Are you sure?" Said Heathertail,she wasn't smelling anyone.
"I may be blind, but my sense of smell is still perfect, if not better, now go quickly! But before that I want you to memorize a few herbs, they may be handy on..."
Soon after she and Lionblaze were already distant of that place, while her head were still spining from all that new information Jayfeather had told them.

Soon after that they entered that damn forest again(she had decided to call it that) they paused to rest and hunt. She was satisfied to see that her wounds were finally starting to heal properly, but she wound't push her luck too far, they would still go slowly. While she was thinking Lionblaze returned with two squirrels and one mouse.
"It's good to be able to hunt again!" He meowed happy
"Don't push yourself too far though" She repeated her thoughs
"I know, don't worry" He said in a softer tone.
The two cats ate in silence and got some sleep.
In the next morning, she woke up first, a bit sleepy, she stretched herself and asked herself if she should eat. Why? She wasn't exactly hungry. Her gaze stopped at Lionblaze, which appeared to be sleeping peacefully. This brought her memories of when...she shook her head, thoses times were gone, now she was a fully warrior and...At that exact moment, Lionblaze started to woke up, and blinked his golden sleepy eyes right into hers.
"Uh...were you staring at me?" He asked
"I was just going to wake you up" She though quickly, the last thing she wanted Lionblaze to think about her, is that she was a creeper.'wait why do I care again?'
"Oh sure like staring at me wound wake me up" he began to stand up
"Well...it worked didn't it?" She said joking
"Oh my..." He said half amused "You discovered a new power! waking cats only with the power of your stare! Now I'm afraid" He mocked her
"Well you should be afraid, because I wouldn't let you sleep" She decided to join
And the two kept joking until Lionblaze decided that they should start to move, Heathertail happily agreeded, she couldn't remember the last time she really laughed like this...
At sun high, they stopped to hunt and share, then continued on their trip, always talking and joking, until they reached the edge of the florest.
"So this is the end of the florest" Meowed Lionblaze at last "Now we'll cross an open area, besides lie the Twoleg place, and further, the montains" Heathertail nodded, her paws itching with anxiety, finally this jorney would pay off...she though
She happily said goodbye to the florest and welcomed the winds that did blow freely in that area. With Lionblaze it wasn't the same, she could tell. 'Well he is a Thunderclan cat, it is normal for him to not like open areas'.
But that feeling was short, the open area soon gave place to an twoleg place, and what's worse, she felt her belly protest from hunger, and her paws protest fro, exaustion, soon they would have to search somewhere to pass the night. And the though of sleeping in one of those's nests...gave her the creeps.
"You're tired" Lionblaze suddenly muttered
"No I'm not!" She argued, even though she was.
"yes, you are, you need to rest" She was slowly starting to get furious at Lionblaze, who he though she was? A kit? She could still proceed! 'Barely' her mind added.
"I can still walk" She meowed, now noticing that he was as much as tired as her, then she realized. "YOU,want to stop doesn't you?"
Lionblaze was so shocked that he didn't answer right way, Heathertail took this as a invite to continue:
"What a dirty trick! Blaming me for your's wishes..." Her anger died right away when he started to laugh, not stopping even when she gave him a paw swipe.
"So I was caught...I'm sorry" Lionblaze apologied "But I still think WE should rest, we aren't exactly in top shape yet" He proprably meant their wounds.
"All right!" She finally meowed, starting to look at somewhere where they could rest properly.
"How'bout that twoleg nest?" He pointed with his muzzle to what appeared to be an old twoleg nest.
"Oh no, I'm not going to sleep in THAT" Heathertail retorted, disguted
"C'mon, that nest is empty as far as I know, besides are you afraid" Lionblaze teased her.
"That trick is more older than Starclan, I won't fail into that" She replied, thinking quickly
"Oh sure, if you have a better idea, I'm all ears" Silence met Lionblaze
"That's more like it, c'mon, my legs are killing me" Lionblaze started to walk in the direction of said nest
"Wait-" He was aready out of earshot "Rabbit-brain" She muttered, while following him.
A few moments later, they arrived on the nest, like Lionblaze said, it was empty and had no twolegs or other dangers in it.
"See? Perfectly safe" Lionblaze continued to meow
"Begginer's luck" She muttered half grumpy, half amused.
"Now let's hunt, I think there's some rats over there" Lionblaze sniffed the breeze
Soon the two cats were full and went to find a place to sleep in the nest.
"Over here, this dry thing isn't better than moss but it's better than sleeping on the ground"
"It's so far away...are you sure I need to climb all THAT?" Lionblaze almost laughed, Heathertail was so tired that she wasn't even thinking straight anymore
"I'm the one who's supposed to be the laze here, not you"
"Areee youu calling me l-l yoah why's the world spining so much..." As much fun as was watching a groggy Heathertail talk, it was starting to go too far away, he decided to go help her. But right when he jumped, she just...blacked out.
After a few heartbeats of surprise, Lionblaze muttered:
"why didn't you tell me you was so tired?" Windclan and their stupid prize. After Hesitating a bit(maybe a lot) He curled up around her, to not let her get too cold. And while he did this, he was trying to convice himself that he wasn't enjoying this...heck, it was useless, this feeling was growing in his heart and he knew very well what it was.
"I'm sorry cindy...It's just...too hard for me..." He hated the destiny or whatever was controlling it. Stupid feelings. Before he slept, he remembered why he was here in the first place. Stupid Breezepelt.
Light: You know what? Never mind.
Heathertail: Tired already?
Lionblaze: C'mon don't give up
Light:" Scram, I want to sleep now"
