Prologue
Breezewind cried. He had lost his mate, Flashpelt, because she had died while kitting. It was a sad memory. He even wanted to give up his deputy role because of this. He padded to the warriors' den, and slumped into his nest. It was empty as usual-because all the warriors were busy.
"Breezewind?" Brackenshade called.
"I'm here," He grunted.
"Why are you in your nest this early? Are you sick?" Brackenshade touched a paw to his forehead.
"I'm fine," He turned away, wanting the AspenClan medicine cat to not see his tears.
Brackenshade sighed. "I know that you're still grieving for Flashpelt, but you can’t grieve forever. You need to...let her go.”
Brackenshade’s words pierced his heart as if claws ripped it apart. “I WOULD NEVER LET FLASHPELT GO!”
Breezewind flicked his tail to dismiss Brackenshade. How dare he be so rude? He lay down in his nest, and fell asleep. There, he woke up in a world of wonderfulness. "Flashpelt!" He cried, running up to nuzzle his mate. But, instead of feeling her soft, warm fur, he ran right through her, as if Flashpelt was a ghost.
"Flashpelt?" He asked. Flashpelt turned around to look at him
"Why did you want to give up our deputy role? You can still take care of Glacierkit...."
Chapter 1
Glacierkit's ear twitched as she felt Jaykit jump on her. She grunted.
"Get off, Jaykit! Go play with Pinekit and Fallowkit,"
Jaykit bounced to Pinekit and Fallowkit, and Glacierkit suddenly felt lonely. She regretted saying that to her littermate, but she knew that Jaykit wouldn't let her play.
Glacierkit gazed at the camp entrance, watching warriors coming and going. She sighed. When can she become a warrior?! Being a kit was boring.
Finally her father, Breezewind arrived, carrying two squirrels in his mouth. "Is that for me?!" She asked excitedly.
Breezewind laughed. "Yes!"
Glacierkit immediately snatched one of the squirrels. "Yum!" She meowed through a mouth full of squirrel. Glacierkit quickly finished the squirrel, but she was too hungry.
"Now, now, time to go to sleep," Breezewind pushed Glacierkit to the nursery, and he didn't seem to hear her complains.
