"I hope you never hear those words. Your mom. She died. They are different than other words. They are too big to fit in your ears.

And in so doing, they split you apart."

Betrayal

"She dabbed at the surface of the water with one paw, and the moon fluttered like silver wings before settling again as the water stilled. Letting out a faint mrrow of wonder, Half Moon dabbed again and again. However often she disturbed the surface, the moon was still there.'It doesn't give up, does it? Half Moon blinked at Jayfeather.
