~Graystripe's P.O.V~

Everyone was watching Tigerstar and Firestar battle. Me and Sandstorm were especially

concerned after all Firestar had been my best friend since he came to the forest and he was

mates with Sandstorm. I wanted to go in and help Firestar, but I knew that he wouldn't want

me to it was a battle he needed to fight alone. At the end of the battle it looked as if Firestar

had won, but though he had won he had also been fatally injured. "Firestar!" I heard

Sandstorm and Leafpool rush up to try and help him. I hoped that I was wrong and Firestar

was safe, but I knew the truth that Firestar was dead. "He is dead." I heard Leafpool say

sadly. "Firestar come back to me please!" Sandstorm cried out. When we arrived back at

camp everyone rushed to mourn there dead comrades including Ferncloud, Hollyleaf, Mousefur,

and Firestar. Sandstorm, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool all sat next to me as we sat vigil for

Firestar. Afterwards I helped take him to the burial spot and then we all went back to our

nests to sleep but not one of us could sleep with the burden of our leader's death on our

shoulders. I finally got to sleep after a long time of thinking of what to without my best friend

and leader. The next morning I had decided to retire to the elders den. My friends death had

reminded me of my own age. "Purdy how would you like it if I joined you in the elders den?" I

asked. "That would be great seeing as I have no one else to sleep with." Purdy answered. "I'll

join you." I heard Sandstorm say from behind. "My mate is dead and I have no intention to

get a new one besides I would consider myself to old for that anyway." She sighed. Purdy

nodded to both of us and we went to tell Bramblestar our new leader. "Let all cats old enough

to catch there own prey please gather beneath the highrock for a clan meeting!" He called out

for the first time. "Graystripe and Sandstorm both of you have served this clan well. Is it

truly your desire to leave your warrior duties behind and join our elder Purdy in the elders

den?" He asked and both me and Sandstorm nodded. With that my life as a warrior was over

and I could rest the rest of my days in peace.

Sorry it was so ridiculously short, but I haven't written in forever so I had to do

something quick so yeah I hope you enjoyed.
