Half Moon yawned and stretched. She expected to see Jayfeather right next to her, but instead Tiny Moon stood next to her, with the old Stoneteller before Half Moon, and a cat with a starry pelt. Firestar! Half Moon thought. "You have completed your destiny." Firestar mewed. "You are with us now. Jayfeather will return to the lake. The reason why all this happened, you, a dead cat just can't give birth. So we made you alive again, brought you to the old camp, and now Jayfeather is to return to the present. Cloudy, Whisker, Sky, Thunderbolt, Honeywhisp, will never have been thought of. Just some kittypets that needed our help. Jayfeathers and your kits will be the same age. G-g-good bye..." he said, fading away.

7 ½ moons later

Jayfeather jumped onto a rock. His kits, er, apprentices, Firepaw, Honeypaw, and Cloudpaw bounded after him. Lilyblossom and Seedfleck dragged their apprentices, Dewpaw and Tinypaw. They were going to be warriors already...

A cool mist gathered around Jayfeathers paws. He looked up and saw Half Moon. He ran towards her, colliding into her fur, breathing her in. He looked into her eyes and saw love and grief. "Our kits will carry a burden. One will be evil, like your kin Scourge, and the ground will be red, and the others will make sacrifices.

The frosted feather rests on the jays wing.

The ground turns red,

the dew rises,

the lilies will bloom with the

fox heart,

and the fire will rage again,

trapped by the brambles,

making a wish

that will save them all
