Leafpool

The last quarter moon was unbearably hot. ShadowClan rarely left their dens, huddled in cool bushes and dens. WindClan cats hid either in the heather or in those same dens. ThunderClan hid in camp near their small pool. RiverClan was faring much better. Kits splashed in the shallows, while the adults took turns hunting and relaxing in the water. That day, Leafpool slipped away from camp under the pretext of hunting. She no longer had to gather herbs or heal anyone. For breaking the law of healing, she had resigned her position as medicine cat and become a regular warrior. Now her former den was in the care of her blind, gray-striped apprentice, Jayfeather. The striped, light-brown warrior ran as fast as she could toward the fallen tree that led to the small island in the middle of the vast lake where the council was held every full moon. The full moon was still a long way off, so it was unlikely anyone would come except her and Mothwing, with whom she was expecting to meet. Leafpool quickly climbed the fallen tree to the island and trotted to the council clearing. She didn't have to wait long. She appeared... Mothwing. Leafpool immediately jumped up and rushed to greet her:

• Hello! It's been so long! - Amber-Eyes almost knocked the newcomer off her paws and licked her ear. - How are things in RiverClan? I see you just got out of the water.
