Moonpaw took in a deep breath. Now it was time for him and Tigerpaw to tell Echoheart about the journey. Tigerpaw looked at him nervously. They both knew their mother wouldn't like the news. She was lying by the warriors den, staring off into some immeasurable distance. She barely noticed her sons.
"Echoheart? We have something to tell you," Moonpaw began. Her ears twitched, but she didn't say anything.
"Tigerpaw, Featherpaw, Blizzardpaw and I have received dreams from StarClan. We have to journey to the four Clans in the forest." Moonpaw looked at his mother expecting immediate refusal. First Badgerfur's death, now this. But instead she looked at him and Tigerpaw with a mixture of sadness and pride.
"I will be sad to see you go. But it is StarClan's will, and I know they will protect you. Your father would be so proud of you," she said sadly. Then she smiled teasingly at Tigerpaw.
"I bet that she-cat, Tansypaw will be sad to see you go," she said cheekily. Tigerpaw studied his paws. Before Moonpaw could say something else, his mother turned to him, and said, "And you should watch that Featherpaw. She's fiesty, but I think you can handle her." She-cats, Moonpaw thought, but his mother had a point and the annoyance that showed on his handsome face was feigned. The events of the past day had made him realise that there was something special about Featherpaw. Something that Lilacpaw didn't have, he thought. As he pondered, the gray she-cat chuckled, her eyes filling with happiness for the first time since Badgerfur's death.
"It's getting late," Echoheart said, "You two should go to your den and sleep. After all, you have a long journey ahead of you."
