Chapt 7

Lionblaze sunk into his den, exhausted by the days work, and still aching from the battle a few days before.

He had gone on dawn patrol with Dustpelt, Foxleap, and Leafpool. They approached the Windclan border with caution. Crowfeather had come the day before, and Windclan had blamed them. Dustpelt had gone to mark the border and scented a strange scent. Doveplet came racing through the trees as they approached the forest screaming about how they were here now and that they were rising. Dustpelt sent her back to camp, but she wouldn't be quiet. She snuck out of camp with Foxleap and raced down to where Lionblaze was before- the Windclan border. They found Tigerstar and his army talking about attacking at dusk. Dovepelt and Foxleap raced back to camp to warn the clan, and all the other clans. Firestar ordered Brambleclaw to go to Shadowclan, Lionblaze to Riverclan, and Jayfeather to Windclan. He didn't want to send a warrior to Windclan, so they would not seem threatening. What Lionblaze couldn't figure out was  where Lilyshade was, and Riverclan reported of 3 of their warriors were missing too. All the clans decided to meet before dusk at the Thunderclan/Windclan border.All the warriors had come from each clan, even the queens and some of the kits that couldn't be left alone. Elders helped to drag wounded cats to the medicine cats, but the Dark warriors attacked them too. Lionblaze raced to save his father as his half brother, Breezepelt, attacked him. Lionblaze killed him as he heard Dovepelt call out to tell him Tigerstar had Firestar in his grasp. Lionblaze attacked Tigerstar letting Firestar rest as he lost his 8th life. Cinderheart had come to help him but Lionblaze pushed her aside, telling her he loved her. Tigerstar had heard this and instead went to kill Cinderheart, but Firestar attacked him again, eventually killing him. Firestar died too, from his injuries. Firestar then joined the battle as a Starclan Warrior.
