"It's just...a lot to take in, you know?"

Deathsong had taken Icepaw out to a clearing in the middle of the territory. He was upset but had calmed down from his earlier fight with Patchstar. Icepaw nuzzled against him reassuringly.

"Deathsong, it doesn't matter who kitted you; it's what you do with your life now. And you're a warrior! I'd say that's pretty amazing." Icepaw mewed, hoping to cheer her mentor up.

"I just wish I'd known sooner. Why did they have to keep it a secret from me?" Deathsong wondered aloud.

Icepaw shifted on her paws uneasily. "Would you have left and gone to PebbleClan, if you'd known?" she asked.

"I don't know..." Deathsong muttered. "I don't even know if things would be different. But I would have known. About Cursedstar. About Brackensoul. About Mothdust."

Icepaw sighed. "So Mothdust is the third cat, huh..."

Deathsong nodded. "Patchstar thinks that she can see dead cats too," he explained. "I wish I could talk to her."

"Why can't you?" Icepaw asked innocently. "You're littermates, after all. I'm sure Cursedstar would understand an unannounced visit from her own kit."

Deathsong flattened his ears at the thought of his mother. "She doesn't want to see me," he hissed. "She didn't even want me."

"Maybe it was StarClan's plan all along," Icepaw offered. "I mean...if we hadn't bumped into each other that day..." the black apprentice trailed off. Deathsong recalled the first time they had felt the jolt that ran through his blood at her touch. Would the same thing had happened if he'd touched Mothdust? Would he even know Icepaw if he had grown up in PebbleClan?

"'Beware of he who tells the lies...watch the watcher who walks two lives...'," Icepaw recited Stormfeather's prophecy. "Do you think this 'Watcher' could be Worm?"

Deathsong widened his eyes at her question. As he suspected, Worm was hovering around Icepaw, though Deathsong could only see half of him like always.

"'Half his story told, half hidden from view...'" Deathsong continued. "Is that talking about what he told you about his life before he died? And the fact I can't see all of him?"

Icepaw looked at Deathsong questioningly. "You can't see all of him?" she echoed. "What do you mean?"

Deathsong remembered that he had never mentioned this fact before. "I can only see half of him!" he mewed, getting excited. "'Find the three to complete the two...' Do you think Mothdust can see his other half?"

Icepaw perked her ears. "And that completes him...!!!"

"We're going to the PebbleClan camp." Deathsong mewed decisively to his apprentice. "We need to speak with Mothdust."
Deathsong and Icepaw figure out the prophecy. Off to PebbleClan we go!

Good job to everyone who figured out some (if not all) of the prophecy! I'm so proud :')
