| 7 | The night that Fireheart is made deputy, Halftail is so bothered by Bluestar's choice that he decides to speak to the other elders about it. They discuss how he's not a good choice, since he's a kittypet, has only been there for half a moon, and how Bluestar should have named him before moonhigh, since Lionheart died ''yesterday''. Smallear and Dappletail are anxious because the warrior code's been broken, but that's not why Halftail is concerned. |

| 9 | He tries to explain that it doesn't have to be a problem for [=ThunderClan=], yet they still need to prepare themselves just in case, but his other denmates continue to discuss how they don't see why Fireheart should be deputy. Sandstorm's a better hunter, and Tigerclaw's what they consider to be a ''real'' warrior. Dappletail suggests that perhaps Bluestar waited until after moonhigh because [=StarClan=] wouldn't approve of him anyway, and the other elders, even Halftail, begin to worry that this means that Bluestar has turned her back on [=StarClan=]. |

| 11 | Halftail says they should at least treat Fireheart like the rightful deputy, because then [=StarClan=] may accept him and forgive Bluestar, but the others refuse. Halftail realizes that what he had intended to be a rallying point for the elders instead had made them despair. He has to wonder: is [=ThunderClan=] doomed? |

| 15 | * ContinuitySnarl: The story is about how the elders are discussing how they're not happy with Fireheart as deputy, because he's young and not Clanborn and was named after moonhigh... except in this story, he's named deputy immediately after Lionheart; it takes place the day after Lionheart's death. Also, they're unhappy that Tigerclaw wasn't chosen, because he's the best fighter, or Sandstorm, because she's the best hunter. Uh, Fireheart and Sandstorm were apprentices when Lionheart died. And how could they forget about Tigerclaw becoming deputy after Lionheart and his subsequent attempts to kill Bluestar in order to become leader? |
