Book 10 - Chapter 15

Cloudsplash looked over at his old mentor and watched as the senior warrior helped his clan. "As you know I used to be the senior warrior of the clan, until the clan decided that I shouldn't be the senior warrior. Birchtail took my place and I am forever grateful that I was given the chance to be the senior warrior and learn what it would be like to be that big of a deal and a part of a clan that is strong. I never thought in my wildest dreams that being a senior warrior would be that much work and that hard. I was willing to step down and let a cat with more capabilities take my place Maybe one day, maybe never I will get that chance again. There are many other cats in the clan that will be great senior warriors and maybe one day leaders of Fishclan. I just wasn't the right cat, and being the senior warrior let me see that. It let me see what I needed to be as a cat. I made me learn some of my strengths and my weaknesses, it let me learn about the true me. I am going to be forever thankful and I will never be able to repay you the clan for letting me see the truth about me. I will try to repay you as long as I live. I will never stop being loyal to the clan that helped me see, the real me. I was hidden inside of the me that I thought I had to be and the me that I thought I was, you helped me see that, that wasn't true, and that every cat is perfect just the way they are, so I just hope I can find a way to repay you in the future." The clan looked at each other before nodding, in agreement they knew and they knew that Cloudsplash was telling the truth and he would never be loyal to anyone else. 

Book 10 - Chapter 14

Dragonwhisker spoke in his usual low growl, "As you know I came from and I was born in Fishclan. I was born in the Fishclan when there were 4 clans. I have had lots of family members in this clan. I have seen cats come and go from this clan with Tigerclan and with Darkfinch. I never thought that I would ever want anything more than Fishclan. I had my siblings and the one cat that I had ever wanted more leave me for Darkfinch and his promises. They all betrayed Fishclan, some of the cats of our clan left because they wanted to, some left because Darkfinch insisted that he got cats from our clan. I however have a strength, although I also have a weakness. I know what is going on with Darkfinch at all times, I sneak out at night and I meet with a cat. I meet with Hollyflower, and Dapplepaw. Neither of them wanted to leave the clan. Dapplepaw informs me on the weaknesses of the group. Hollyflower informs me on the strengths of the group, and she refuses to say anything bad about her mate, Tigerstar who has settled in nicely. I know Darkfinch's training methods and all that sort of stuff, and that can be used as a strength. My weakness is that I am meeting the mate of Tigerstar, I am meeting Hollyflower. Hollyflower was always a sweet kitten in the clan and if any cat finds out that Hollyflower and Dapplepaw are spies nothing good can await their future. Especially since Tigerstar knows that I will have tried to communicate to Hollyflower ever since she had left the clan. I will give you all the clues of Darkfinch in exchange for one thing, rescuing Hollyflower and Dapplepaw from Darkfinch's clutches. They are still clinging to life waiting to see if they could ever escape." All the cats crowded Dragonwhisker wishing to know all of Darkfinch's secrets, but Dragonwhisker true to his word refused to speak a word about it until Hollyflower and Dapplepaw were safe from Darkfinch.
