Jayfeather stared at his brother as he got up and spat the still remaining dirt out of his mouth.

"How did you do that?!" Lionblaze asked completely stumped on how he was tripped up by his medicine cat brother.

"Maybe I'm just that good." He said, trying to look confident whereas his mind thought completely different. How in the hell did I just do that?! He thought as he tried to keep it from coming out of his mouth.

Lionblaze had finally recovered from his slip-up and was back in action. He then took a different approach by circling around him but occasionally switching directions to try and throw Jayfeather off balance. Jayfeather, like before, was doing the same thing. He followed every movement to the letter. But what really got him was how his body felt while he was doing it. His body didn't feel like his own, it was more of like being a puppet with someone else pulling the strings.

Well whoever you are pulling those damn strings, keep it going. He prayed that it would still go on.

They continued their circle dance for a couple more seconds then stopped. They stood there, staring at each other waiting for something to happen.

…

and it did.

The first moment, Lionblaze was two foxtails away. The next, he appeared, smaller than a mouse tails distance, as if out of nowhere. Jayfeather tried to duck and avoid his brother, but he was too slow and he felt him grab on to his scruff. He was then sent flying through the air like a dead vole being thrown onto the fresh kill pile. He then regained his senses, only to meet his brother's hind leg kicking him out of mid-air and into the dirt.

Holy shit, this fucking hurts! He thought as he tried to stand on his legs again.

"(Whistle) Damn bro, you flew! There's another miracle that happened, I gave you wings, how about that. HAHAHA!" he gloated. Jayfeather managed to stand and face his brother.

"You always were such an asshole." Jayfeather said while coughing up the blood that had come out of that last kick. Jayfeather then started to run towards Lionblaze only to be kicked in the leg then grabbed by the scruff and slammed repeatedly into the ground over and over and over again.

"HA, I knew you were just a little shit." Mousefur insulted.

Jayfeather was about to just go limp and give up

…

but he wont go down that easy.

Right before Lionblaze had slammed him into the ground again, Jayfeather placed his feet on the ground and rolled over on his side so that it would topple Lionblaze over, taking away the size advantage that he had.

He then saw it, the sight he had seen when he tripped him up the first time. Only this time, it was different. Time froze and he was the only one moving. Everyone around him turned a black and grey color except for something that looked like a colored fire that was near everyone's hearts, each of them differing in color. He scanned the whole area, looking at all the frozen cats.

Why the hell is there fire in everyone? He thought as he looked around the clearing.

He then looked down at himself and saw that he had a fire too. His was colored a dark blue with a white outline. He then looked at his brother, who was frozen in a in mid-air after the reversal that Jayfeather used on him, and saw that his was a bright orange with a yellow-red outline and compared to everyone else's, his was the largest and the most furious.

He then saw that some of Lionblaze's body parts were lit up with different colors. His legs were colored with a blue tint, his head was outlined red, and his paws were outlined yellow.

After Jayfeather finished processing this new discovery.

...

he took complete advantage over it.

"Got ya now asshole!" He said as he lunged towards his brother, who was still frozen, and drop kicked him down to the ground.

"Paybacks a bitch, huh?" he gloated even though no one could hear him. He then followed up with continuous kicks to the face, the side, and most importantly, the groin. After Jayfeather had his little pummel spree, time had gone back to normal.

And the aftermath?

…

glorious!

Lionblaze was lying in the dirt, writhing in pain after the beat-down that Jayfeather gave him. Everyone else had gained their color and they were moving… only to gasp in shock of what they were witnessing. Lionblaze tried to get up, but he was only able to get up and sit down again. He stared at Jayfeather in awe and also in shock. He took in a deep breath and howled as loud as he could.

"HOW IN THE MOTHERFUCKING NINE RINGS OF HELL AND DAMNATION DID YOU DO THAT!? I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOU MOVE FROM THAT SPOT!?" He yelled.

"Yeah I didn't see you move at all, you little shit." Mousefur added.

"Well, now do you believe I'm not blind anymore?" He said pointing towards his brother to remind everyone of what he just did.

"Oh yeah, we believe you completely!" The whole clan shouted.

"Well I still don't know how you did it but, congrats little bro." Lionblaze said congratulating his brother, still confused, but proud.

"I guess I just had great timing. HAHAHAHAHA" Jayfeather joked to himself

…...

Baaaad Joke; anyway whatever the hell just happened it saved my ass back there. I just need to figure out how I did it. He thought as he walked back to the Highledge to greet his two favorite she-cats.

"T-that was…AMAZING!" Willowshine said also confused.

"OH I knew he was gonna win because he has me around him." Songpaw said, clinging to his front leg.

"HEY! He won also because I was here." Willowshine said clinging to his other front leg.

"Ladies, ladies, you're gonna snap my legs in half if you hold onto them too tight." Jayfeather said trying to get some circulation back to his numb paws.

"Fine, Willowshine you let go first and I'll let go second." Songpaw ordered.

"NO you just want me to get off him because you want him all to yourself." Willowshine retorted.

Jayfeather could see a lightning stream form in between them.

OK, have to find something to distract them! He thought as he looked around for something. He then heard Firestar give a yowl to remind everyone that the meeting is still going on.

Thank Starclan for clan leaders. He thought.

"Hey Firestar's gonna say something." Jayfeather said guiding the two cats towards Firestar's side.

"So what do we do now? The little shits obviously not blind anymore." Mousefur questioned.

"That's a good question Mousefur. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? If you do, raise your tail." Firestar said. Out of the whole clan, only three raised their tails. Those three included Longtail, Icecloud, and Leafpool.

"I say that we let it be a surprise and shock everyone like you five did." Icecloud suggested.

"Hmm that sounds like a good idea, but I don't think that they'll believe it after just some proof like a sparring match." Firestar commented.

"Well, I suggest that we ignore it and that we don't say anything about it. They will eventually come to understand what we weren't telling them." Leafpool said.

"That's reasonable, but it would cause problems if we kept something like that from the other clans. I mean it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a blind cat regain his sight." Firestar said, proving a good point.

"Alright Longtail, how about you? What do you have to suggest?" Firestar called out to the pale, silver tom who sat there just staring blindly down at the ground. He slowly raised his head up and gave his suggestion.

"I say we should have a little gathering to celebrate this news. All the clans would come and join near the lake and they would just have fun and socialize." Longtail suggested with a smile on his face. While he said that, Firestar continued to nod his head and his smile grew wider with every word.

"That sounds perfect! Does anyone object to this idea?" Firestar said. No one raised their tails which meant that there were no objections.

"Good, we will notify the other clans to meet near the lake." He said. He turned around to face Willowshine.

"You're clan wouldn't have a problem with this I hope?" he asked.

"They would love to do something like this." She replied. Firestar smiled and turned around to continue talking to the clan. After Firestar turned around, Jayfeather found that he was exhausted.

"(Yawn)… well if you two are going to listen to him finish his announcements, then I'm going to bed." Jayfeather said as he dragged his tired body to the medicine den. He pushed the leaf screen out of his way, found his bed, and plopped down just wanting to sleep.

Finally, some peace and quiet. He thought as he was drifting off to sleep. Just as he was gonna go to sleep, he heard someone come through the screen entrance of the medicine den, and it was no one else but his apprentice.

"Hey, so where's Willowshine?" he said surprised that she didn't come in.

"Oh she left to tell Riverclan about the gathering… (Yawn) you know I'm a little tired myself, you wouldn't mind if I slept next to you, would you?" she said as she walked over and gave him a pair of irresistible puppy dog eyes, which she really didn't need to do. He smiled at her showing her that he didn't mind.

…

but just in case she didn't get it.

"Sure, you can lie right there." He said as he patted a spot right next to him with his paw.

She giggled and walked over to the spot, situating herself so that she was comfortable. She was lying down with her pelt brushing against his chest fur and she purred.

"You are always such a kit you know that, always taking any opportunity you have to nestle in with anyone who will let you." He said as he looked down at the tortoiseshell apprentice.

"And you weren't always such a nice tom. I mean, look at the current situation. Here you are, the one cat in Thunderclan who grew up always alone and far away from those who weren't your family, letting your apprentice lie down in your nest with you. Do I sense mood swings?" She joked, smiling back up at him. He smiled down at her and gave her an affectionate lick on the ear.

"And you were the one who made me swing. So for that, I have to say thank you." He said with a chuckle at the end. Songpaw smiled and started to scoot herself as far into Jayfeather's pelt as possible.

"(Yawn)… well me being a feisty bitch and you being a nice asshole doesn't change the fact that were both tired." She said laying her head down. Jayfeather laid his head down beside her and his beautiful world slowly started to fade away due to fatigue.

"(Yawn)… that's true Songpaw, so let's get some sleep." He replied, gaining a purr from the young she-cat. He heard that sound till they were both on the brink of falling asleep.

You have shown me a way of life that I couldn't imagine. You have made people see a side of me that they have never seen before. I will cherish every moment I have in this world even though I am still young, I will show that I have not only gained my sight, but I have gained others that I would put my life on the line for. I promise that I will never let anyone or anything hurt you or Willowshine. I now have something that can keep everyone safe. He thought as he remembered his fight with Lionblaze and how everyone had fires near their hearts and how they couldn't move.

He then closed his eyes and let his worn out body be consumed by the fatigue. He let his breathing sync with Songpaw's till he finally fell asleep and he knew that whatever came when he woke up?

…

he'll be ready.
