Peachpaw awoke to a cat yowling. She jolted out of her best and burst into the clearing, only to shrink back at the sharp stench of blood. In the middle of the clearing lay a mangled black and white body, bloody and bruised. "Tinykit? Tinykit!" Peachpaw yowled. She scrambled to her sisters side. She knew she wasn't dead only by the faint rise and fall of her chest. "Get Bramblebug! Now!" She snapped. She picked the small body of her sister up by her scruff and began dragging her to the medicine den. Shiverflint bolted up to help, taking her on the left side. As they continued moving, the weight from the right side lifted, but no cat was there. Then Peachpaw saw a small twinkle, and a starry shape began to form. "Rainblaze?" She murmured. Sure enough, there was her fathers spirit, helping carry the injured kit. As soon as they reached the medicine den, he padded to his other daughter and wreathed around her. "Stay strong. This is only the beginning" he said, his voice sad and comforting. "I will always guide you..." He said before fading away. Peachpaw could still smell his scent, and breathed it in one more time before she was jostled back into reality by Bramblebug, who had just come back into camp from the stream, where she had been collecting herbs. "Tinykit!" She said, obviously surprised by the circumstances in which she had returned. "Peachpaw, get me some cobwebs and make a poultice of- wait! How did this happen? Bumblepelt! What did this?" Bramblebug began instructing but broke off when she realized that she needed to know the cause in order to treat it. "We aren't sure. There was badger scent, as well as fox, as well as rat, as well as cat. All in the same clearing." The deputy said, his eyes sparking with confusion and worry. "Bramblebug, treat Tinykit. Peachpaw and Bumblepelt, come into my den. We must speak." Coalstar said before disappearing inside his den. Peachpaw followed, taken aback by the fact that her leader needed to speak with her and not Bramblebug. "Peachpaw, you must tell Bramblebug all I am going to tell you once we are through." Coalstar instructed. Peachpaw nodded. "Coalstar, what could the clearing possibly mean? All those different scents, belonging to multiple threats!" Bumblepelt asked. "I believe that the cause of this was a cat, called Discord."
