"Oh, of course not. The wonderful, respected leader of ThunderClan! However, the trouble will fall on him first."

"He'd gone to the Moonpool to find clarity. And he had, but not in the way he'd expected. Certainty sat like a rock in his belly. The voice, which had told him to cure Bramblestar by letting him die and had shown him the codebreakers, belonged to a spirit that knew the Clans. But he knew now, with a sureness that filled him with horror, that the voice had never been the voice of StarClan."

"Not even the cats we love can escape punishment for breaking the code. StarClan will enforce the code regardless. And so we must brush aside our pain and put all our energies toward serving StarClan! Now I ask my fellow leaders whether I can count on their help in strictly following the code and serving StarClan in any way we can."
