Like the seasons alter from leaf-bare to newleaf, as time goes by, everything changes. Cats come together, starting new families. Others pass, joining the ranks of StarClan. Even the strongest friendships sometimes draw apart. But in tough situations, when danger arrives, do they stay true at heart?

I was cheated by StarClan when my leg was broken in a tree accident, never to be healed. I can't bear the thought of never returning to my warrior duties and never being able to hunt and fight for my Clan. I will never again race through the forest as my siblings, still blessed with four working legs, will. I will never have any more fun. No, not if I can't serve my Clan.

Promises are meant to keep, although Wolfpaw may be in over his head when he promises a dying mother he's never met before to take in and protect the newly-born kit, which is the spitting image of the Clan's biggest enemy. This kit could either be a blessing or a curse, and it would be Wolfpaw's fault. Special thanks to 574y 901d my 10v35 for the new summary.
