Chapter 2
Lionblaze padded along the Windclan border when he heard someone hiss his name he turned towards the brush to see Jayfeather peeking out. "I have to talk to you now!" he mewed. "Can't it wait till after the patrol?" sometimes Jayfeather could be impatient Lionblaze thought to himself, but seeing the look on Jayfeather's face he could tell it was important, so he murmured a lame excuse and went back to Jayfeather. "What?" Lionblaze hissed. "I had a prophecy from Starclan" mewed Jayfeather. At that Lionblaze sat up straighter and before he could say anything Dovepaw interrupted and said "well spit it out already." Jayfeather took in a deep breathe then mewed "the Darkness will arise and poisonous ivy will strangle the blazing lion, and the flying jay will fall on a leaf, but in the end peace will come on a dove's fiery wing." No one made a noise. The silence was broken by a sparrow shrieking an alarm. Then, finally Jayfeather spoke up and mewed I think that I am the jay who will fall on a leaf, and Lionblaze is the blazing lion, and Dovepaw is the dove that the prophecy mentions, so you must save us from the dark forest, the darkness in the prophecy." At that Dovepaw put her ears back and began to back away "no, I'm only an apprentice, I haven't even had my final assessment yet, no!" and with that she ran back into the forest behind her. Lionblaze and Jayfeather called her, but she never turned around.
"This is what happened to Hollyleaf, it was too much pressure, and we can't let that happen to Dovepaw" Jayfeather meowed. Then, Lionblaze spoke "let her cool off, I have to get back to patrol, and I'm sure Briarlight will need her medicine." With that Lionblaze turned around and bounded off in the same direction the patrol had gone. Jayfeather sighed then turned around and began searching for some dock leaves and poppy seeds.
By the time Jayfeather padded back into camp, it was Sunhigh; his mouth was full of dock leaves, and poppy seeds. As he walked into his den he heard Briarlight call a greeting. Jayfeather's mouth was to full of leaves to reply, so he just gave her a curt nod.
Jayfeather spat out the leaves and began putting them in little niches in the wall. Jayfeather heard hunting patrols arrive and he heard his stomach growl. As he trotted out of his den he looks over to see Briarlight sound asleep in her nest. Once outside his den he could hear Cherrykit and Molekit playing outside the nursery, and Poppyfrost basking in the sun while her kits played around her. He could hear the raspy breathing of Mousefur, which suggested she had a cold, so he reminded himself to go check on her once she was awake. Padding up to the fresh kill pile he chose a sparrow and gulped it down in what seemed like two bites. Jayfeather could hear Brightheart sharing tongues with Cloudtail, and Whitewing. Brightheart looked at Jayfeather and Jayfeather was swept into her memories: he saw her fighting the fox with Jayfeather when he was an apprentice training to be a warrior. He shook his head and moved on, wondering if his older mentor would ever get another apprentice.
