reveal Squirrelflight's secret publicly to all four Clans at the Gathering. In the days leading up to the Gathering, the three warn Ashfur that he will regret it if he reveals the secret. Although he is frightened, he insists he will follow through with his plan. Immediately prior to the Gathering, the patrol of warriors going notices that both Ashfur and Squirrelflight are missing. On the way to the Gathering, they discover Ashfur's body lying in the stream marking the border between ThunderClan and WindClan territories, as if he had drowned. They take his body back to camp so they can sit vigil for him, as is Clan tradition, but Leafpool notices a slit in his neck, suggesting he was murdered. Firestar announces that Ashfur appears to have been murdered, and raises the possibility he was murdered by a cat from ThunderClan, as no other Clans' scents were found on his body.

The patrol finds Sol and brings him back to ThunderClan camp; Sol neither confirms nor denies killing Ashfur and is kept under guard in the camp. Jayfeather attempts to discover the true identity of his parents. ThunderClan elder Mousefur recalls that Leafpool accidentally gave her a strange herb soon after Jayfeather's birth, and notices it now on Jayfeather's pelt. Jayfeather does not recognize the herb, and asks ShadowClan medicine cat Littlecloud when the medicine cats next attend their regular meeting at the Moonpool. The ShadowClan medicine cat recognizes it as parsley, a herb used to suppress lactation in cats whose kits die. Jayfeather remembers that while returning to camp after birth, there
