Quotes from The Sight, that mean nothing.
“We have taken in any cat who has asked us for help,” Firestar meowed. “Does the warrior code condemn us for showing mercy?”
“How can any kin of mine say such a thing?” Tigerstar snorted. “It is bad enough that I have to watch Mothwing wasting her talents as a medicine cat.” His whiskers twitched. “At least Hollypaw is finally starting to realize that her destiny does not lie in pandering to the weak and the sick.”
Leafpool stepped forward and brushed Hollypaw’s cheek with her muzzle. “You will make a wonderful warrior, Hollypaw,” she purred. “You have a warrior’s spirit—I have seen you being noble and loyal and brave, and now I see you sacrificing your ambition for the good of the Clan.” Her eyes shone. “I couldn’t be more proud of you.”
“Ashfur?” Ferncloud had left the nursery and was padding toward her brother. Lionpaw knew that their mother, Brindleface, had been killed by Tigerstar to give the other dog pack a taste for cats’ blood. Ferncloud would have only the worst memories of dogs. “Be careful.” The she-cat rubbed her cheek along Ashfur’s. “Don’t forget I’ve outrun a dog pack before,” he meowed. “You had me at your side then,” she reminded him. “And now I have you and your kits to protect.” He licked her between the ears. “I won’t let you down.”
“We have all suffered,” Squirrelflight acknowledged. “But we must look forward, not back. Newleaf has come. Our territories are warming up and filling with prey. Thanks to Mothwing, we all have a good supply of catmint.” As she spoke, a warm breeze swept across the island. The clearing brightened as the clouds started to drift away from the moon. “StarClan agrees with her!”
“That’s kind of her.” Squirrelflight sniffed at the herbs. “Did you mix these yourself? They smell sweeter than usual.” “I put in some heather nectar to help with the taste,” Jaypaw mumbled. Squirrelflight thanked him with a brisk lick between his ears. “That was thoughtful.” “It’s nothing,” he muttered. He turned away before she could do anything else embarrassing, though he couldn’t ignore the small glimmer of happiness that flickered in his chest.
