Well, the last chapter was a total wreck. Hopefully this translation will be better.


LAST TIME ON STARKIT'S PROPHECY:

"I can't take any more of this!" Starpaw cried as she raced through the forest. "StarClan, help me!" 

After reaching ThunderClan territory, she slowed down to a walk and went in the direction of the camp, thinking about the decision she had to make. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she tripped over a tree root and landed with a thump. A cat ran over. 

"Jayfeather?" Starpaw recognized her father. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for borage. What are you doing here?" Jayfeather looked concerned. "Shouldn't you be training with Firestar? Did he send you out here all on your own? And so close to ShadowClan territory, too."

"Um...it's a long story." Starpaw recounted her experience with Graystripe, Firestar and Blackstar.

"Hmm..." Jayfeather looked thoughtful. "Even though all three are considerably older than you, two of them are Clan leaders and one is a respected warrior. You can't just say that they're too old and reject them. That would be extremely disrespectful. So you just have to pick one and hope the other two don't claw you to shreds for not choosing them." he said unhelpfully.

"But I can't choose!" Starpaw wailed. "I mean, having Blackstar as my mate is against the warrior code and I don't even like him, but I can't choose between Graystripe and Firestar!"

"Let me tell you a story." Jayfeather sat down. Starpaw did too. "I, too, was faced with a problem like yours. I liked more than one cat."

"Ooooh!" Starpaw leaned forward eagerly. "Who were they?"

"They were...Dawnsparkle, obviously, a cat named Half Moon, and...Stick."

"A cat called Stick?" Starpaw asked. 

"No," Jayfeather replied, keeping a straight face. "An actual stick."

"What?" Starpaw nearly fell over. "You were in love with a stick? Was it pretty?"

Jayfeather rolled his eyes. "Yeah, it was. I had little baby sticks with it too." He said sarcastically.

"Really? Does that mean I have half-siblings?" Starpaw didn't notice Jayfeather's sarcasm.

"No, Starpaw," Jayfeather rolled his eyes again. "Great StarClan, you are so dense. I was joking."

"Um. Okay." Starpaw was embarrassed. "So, you chose Dawnsparkle?"

"Yes."

"But how is that supposed to help me? There aren't any sticks involved in my situation."

"Don't let your brain decide." Jayfeather advised. "Let your heart decide. Who do you want to be with the most?"

Starpaw hesitated. "Firestar!" she decided after a moment and padded off to find him for training.
