Yes, AdderKit, I know the ThunderClan leader was born a kitty pet, but it makes no difference to me where a kit gulps his first breath. Mind you, FireStar has given his Clanmates precious little chance to forget his kitty pet roots. He is the champion of all cats who are not Clanborn. No cat could argue that CloudTail is not a worthy warrior, or that daisy does not serve the clan well in the nursery. But you can see how other Clans are suspicious of FireStar's willingness to welcome loners and kittyPets into the warrior's den.

What was your mother thinking of, Mosskit,when she brought this too-brave, too-curious kit into the forest? Was Bluestar blinded by the color of his pelt,knowing he fulfilled the prophecy that fire would save her Clan? StarClan wanted him as much as Bluestar did. Poor Firestar,he scarcely seems able to close his eyes without some farsighted dream falling his mind. But he has handled this burden well,lived up to all of StarClan's expectations. Maybe it took more than a Clanborn cat to discover Tigerstar's treachery,or to bring WindClan home after they were driven out by ShadowClan. See,Adderkit,you should be grateful to Firestar for helping your Clanmates. Blossom kit,they did not deserve to be chased out of their home.

Even Sandstorm came to forgive Firestar his kittypet roots-and she is a cat whose opinion is worth a moon of prey.

I wish Firestar nothing by peace,and a long life. Ha,empty words from me,who knows how every one of Firestar's nine lives will end.
