| ThunderClan continues to grow into clan life. Apprentices are trained, warriors hunt, and borders are patrolled. This can lead to disaster, though, when claws are drawn and restraint is thrown out the window. |
| Turmoil and upset occurs at the first gathering, when SkyClan accuses Owlbark of murder. The deputy pleads his case; Rosebelly entered ThunderClan territory and provoked Owlbark. The scuffle ended in Rosebelly's death. Hawkstar, leader of SkyClan, demands a "life for a life". Juniperstar sacrifices herself in Owlbark's place. Juniperstar loses her second of nine lives. |
