The Fourth Apprentice

I was going to put the amazon review in here and my own review, but since it wont copy, I guess everyone will have to settle for mine. :-)

It had been moons since Hollyleaf had died, and the clans were living in peace. Jayfeather lay curled in the medicine cat den, letting the thick sent of herbs drift into his nose. Leafpool was in the nursery caring for Whitewing's kits, Dovekit and Ivykit. Lionblaze padded into the nursery carrying a freshly killed vole. "Thanks." Jayfeather muttered. Lionblaze narrowed his eyes. "What's with you?" Jayfeather sat up and streatched. "The prophecy! Who is the third cat? Dovekit or Ivykit?" Lionblaze had been trying to forget about the prophecy because he figured it was useless until Dovekit and Ivykit were mentored. "We have to complete the prophecy. We hold the power of the stars in our paws. We are stronger then StarClan."

"Please please can we play outside the nursery Whitewing?" Dovekit asked. "Its stuffy in here!" Ivykit complained. Whitewing sighed. Dovekit and Ivykit had been begging to go outside the clearing, but she decided they were old enough to not be grabbed by a fox or a falcon. She still remembered the stories her mother, Brightheart used to tell her about a kit who was picked right up by a falcon on his first journey out of the nursery. She shuddered at the thought. "Ok you two lets go outside." The kits shot out of the nursery and began tumbling over each other batting at falling leaves and rolling in the soft earth. "They will have to be apprenticed before to long." Brambleclaw, the Thunderclan deputy meowed. He sat down with his tail around his paws watching the kits tumble around with each other. It reminded him of when he and his sister, Tawnypelt, were kits. Tawnypelt left ThunderClan long ago because she said her clan was always compairing her to their father, Tigerstar, so she joined ShadowClan. "They are growing taller, and have alot of curiosity." Whitewing purred. Lionblaze poked his head out of the medicine cat den, noticing Dovekit and Ivykit scampering around outside the nursery. If only they knew. He thought. Soon their lives will change forever.

Which is Right?

Ok, I was on google today looking at pictures, and I saw a different cover for Warrior Cats: Fading Echoes. Im not sure which is right, because I read somewhere that the author was not sure EXACTLY what cover she would use, but I am pretty sure it is the one with the tan cat on it because that is the cover on amazon.com I think both of them are pretty cool!!

Crookedstar, past leader of Riverclan

In the beginning of the warrior cat series, Crookedstar is the leader of Riverclan. He is a very large light brown tabby tom cat with green eyes. He got the first part of his name 'Crooked' from when he was young he had an accident on the Riverclan border and he broke his jaw. He became an apprentice late because he was very sick. No one would have thought he would become the leader of his clan! He always took everything with high spirits though, and thats probably why he went on to becoming a warrior then deputy then leader.

His brother Oakheart always said that Crookedpaw should become leader, and Crookedpaw promised that if he ever became leader, he would make Oakheart his deputy. Later Crookedjaw was made deputy, and finally when Hailstar, the leader of Riverclan lost his 9th life, Crookedjaw wanted to make Oakheart his deputy, but he declined, saying he had not earned it yet, so Timberfur was chosen.

Later in the series, when Firepaw/heart/star comes in, Crookedstar is older, wiser, and has a daughter. She is Silverstream, Graystripe's mate. (that happens later) It is unknown who Crookedstar's mate is, but we know that his mother is Lilystem.

Happy Halloween!
