What happens in the book the forgoten warrior in warriors?
The prologue starts as a mysterious, unidentified cat is
traveling, apparently heading for the lake. A tom who lives in the
area confronts the traveler and threatens it to leave his area, but
the cat grows curious as the mystery traveler begins to explain,
and eventually questions it. As they talk, the tom grows less
hostile and asks if the traveler was lost. The voyager answers with
amusement and claims s/he isn't lost, and then leaves the tom,
heading for the lake, thinking of plans of vengeance.Jayfeather
keeps thinking of his feelings for Half Moon, and his problems with
Briarlight, who, as Lionblaze had told him when he returned to the
mountains, had Bumblestripe bring her out into the forest, and was
almost killed by a dog.Bumblestripe comes to Jayfeather, concerned
about Dovewing, who has been having nightmares about the mountains,
and Swoop being carried off by an eagle, but Jayfeather replies
that he can't cure her from bad memories.Ivypool wakes up from a
rough night in the Dark Forest and talks with Dovewing, who is
concerned about the fact that her powers are not working. She
leaves her sister to go with Whitewing to collect moss and prey for
the elders, when Whitewing sends Ivypool to help Jayfeather, who is
out looking for marigold.The two find that the marigold has been
eaten by rabbits, but instead, Ivypool finds some of it stored
inside a tree, which puzzles both of the cats. Ivypool then
suggests that they use foxdung to keep rabbits away from the
marigold, and goes with Birchfall to collect some from an old fox
den.As the two are heading towards the old fox den, Birchfall
abruptly tells Ivypool that he saw her in the Dark Forest,
revealing that he is training with them as well, which shocks
Ivypool. He tells her it's only training to make them better
warriors, meaning he doesn't understand what is to come.They go to
the WindClan border to wash their paws in the stream, where they
get into an argument with Heathertail and her apprentice Furzepaw,
and Breezepelt with his apprentice Boulderpaw. Here the Dark Forest
cats start to take sides with Ivypool and Birchfall, and Birchfall
acts with more aggression then usual, until a ThunderClan patrol
consisting of Sorreltail, Bumblestripe, Hazeltail, and Berrynose
intervene and bring Ivypool and Birchfall back to ThunderClan
camp.Meanwhile, Dovewing is collecting moss with Whitewing, and
they discuss Bumblestripe's affection for her, as Whitewing notices
the two, much to Dovewing's embarrassment.Tigerheart tells Dovewing
that Dawnpelt thinks Jayfeather murdered Flametail by drowning him,
and is planning revenge.Later, Cherrykit and Molekit are
apprenticed to Rosepetal and Foxleap. They have a run in with a
fox, and a mysterious cat saves them. Jayfeather questions them
what the cat looks like, searching Molepaw's memory, but they say
that didn't see the rescuer clearly.Then when Onestar reports a
ThunderClan warrior around the WindClan border, Lionblaze and
Jayfeather are convinced that it is their sister,
Hollyleaf.Lionblaze then figures out that the wandering cat turns
out to be Sol. Sol is welcomed by the Clan, but not trusted by the
senior warriors. Sol told the Clan that he was the one who saved
Cherrypaw and Molepaw from the fox. Poppyfrost and Berrynose
respect him and tells him that he is always welcome. He disappears
at a time, and Dovewing and Ivypool set out in search of him, to
find out that he betrayed ThunderClan by telling WindClan their
whereabouts.As Owlwhisker knows somebody is out there, and in their
panic, Dovewing and Ivypool meet a stranger, who introduces herself
as Hollyleaf. They are awe-stricken, but Hollyleaf says there isn't
enough time for questions. Hollyleaf saves them but before she can
run away, Lionblaze finds her and brings her back to the Clan. She
goes back to ThunderClan and willingly tells the truth about how
Ashfur died. But before Hollyleaf gets to the part about killing
Ashfur, Brambleclaw cuts across her and says that he was there at
the event, but Hollyleaf didn't see him. Brambleclaw continues to
speak and says Ashfur leapt at Hollyleaf and they fought, but he
slipped and fell into the water, and Hollyleaf was only defending
herself. They also find out that it wasn't Sol who saved
Poppyfrost's kits, it was Hollyleaf.Hollyleaf teaches cats
underground fighting, so they would be prepared for WindClan's
attack.Yellowfang comes in a dream with Jayfeather and angrily
demands for him to tell Cinderheart who she really is. Jayfeather,
unsure, talks to Leafpool about the situation. Leafpool immediately
objects, because Spottedleaf came to her in a dream saying they
should keep quiet about this, and then Cinderheart can be the
warrior she wants to be, and do what she couldn't do when she was
Cinderpelt.Lionblaze is disappointed since Cinderheart thinks he's
special because of the prophecy, and that they cannot be mates.
Jayfeather becomes furious and goes into one of Cinderheart's
dreams. He shows the past to Cinderheart, and at the end, the
vision shows Cinderheart born, and Jayfeather tells her she was
Cinderpelt. Cinderheart suddenly remembers all the herbs, and
Cinderpelt's life.Ivypool wakes up to find herself in the Dark
Forest, then Hollowflight rushes up to her to tell her that there
is a meeting happening in the Dark Forest. Ivypool and Hollowflight
show up at the meeting, and Ivypool notices Blossomfall and
Birchfall there. The meeting takes place at the heap of fallen
trees where Ivypool fought Antpelt. After the meeting, Ivypool
demands that the Dark Forest make her a warrior. They tell her if
she can beat Antpelt, she will become a warrior. Antpelt and
Ivypool fight a hard battle, in the end, Ivypool manages to slice
Antpelt from throat to tail. Antpelt is defeated and fades away.
Brokenstar tells Ivypool that she is a warrior. Breezepelt gets
furious with Ivypool for killing Antpelt, and he threatens
her.After Jayfeather tells Cinderheart about her past, she then
feels like she must be a medicine cat again. Mousewhisker and
Cherrypaw eat poison water hemlock, mistakenly thinking it was
parsley to cure their stomach aches. Leafpool's quick actions save
their lives until Jayfeather returns.Yellowfang gets angry with
Jayfeather for making Cinderheart a second medicine cat, and
Jayfeather reminds Yellowfang that she told him to. Yellowfang is
embarrassed, and says she was distracted, and told Jayfeather it's
Cinderheart's choice to become a medicine cat or a
warrior.Jayfeather speaks with Cinderheart about who she wants to
be, and she said she wanted Lionblaze, but she can't, because of
the prophecy. Jayfeather explains that StarClan gave Cinderheart a
second life to give her the chance of being a warrior, a mate and a
mother; all the things she couldn't have as Cinderpelt.At a
Gathering, Dawnpelt and Tigerheart accuse Jayfeather of murdering
Flametail. None of the leaders agree with this, though Mistystar
and Onestar say Jayfeather should be suspended from medicine cat
duties until he could prove his innocence. The other medicine cats
agree with this. A thunderstorm errupts, showing StarClan's
disapproval, and the Clans leave immediately.WindClan attacks
through the tunnels, but ThunderClan is prepared and defeats
WindClan. Dovewing notices that Sol hasn't got a stratch on his
pelt, meaning that he is not lifting a claw to help Windclan.
Hollyleaf attacks Sol and pins him down, preparing to kill him. Sol
said that many seasons ago, he met another Clan in a gorge far
away, possibly and very likely SkyClan. They did not accept him to
be one of their warriors, revealing his reason for wanting to
destroy the Clans. Hollyleaf lets him go, saying they have to let
the warrior code rule their hearts, and Sol runs away. Dovewing
questions Hollyleaf's motives on letting Sol run away, and she
replies, saying that there would be no honor in doing that. The
book ends as Hollyleaf, Ivypool and Dovewing are leaving the
tunnels to go home.
