(Disclaimer: I do not own warrior cats)
Life must go on
Dovewing stared in shock as the starry figure of Firestar stood up and walked with the other Starclan cats. HE was gone. The reality of that hit her like a wave of cold water.
Sandstorm let out a mournful wail. Greystripe bent down and pressed his nose into his friend's fur. Dovewing stumbled backwards, this was all so much.
She bumped into her mother Whitewing. Whitewing rested her tail on her daughter's shoulder. Suddenly the clan began chanting "Bramblestar! Bramblestar!" Dovewing joined in the calls, but they were not filled with joy, but laced with sorrow.
Bramblestar dipped his head and spoke "The new deputy of Thunderclan shall be Squirrelflight!"
The clan cheered her on. Cats milled around the new leader and deputy congratulating them.
Jayfeather heard Squirrelflight's name being called and he joined in. Whatever tension had been between them had disappeared. Jayfeather listened to Brambleclaw give out orders.
"Tonight we shall hold mourning rituals for Mousefur, Hollyleaf, Ferncloud and Firestar." His last words were choked with sorrow.
"But for now I want Dustpelt to gather up two other cats to go on a patrol to make sure all Dark Forest cats are gone. Then I want Cloudtail to start getting the apprentices together to help start rebuilding camp, Squirrelflight can organize the rest." With a flick of his tail Brambleclaw jumped off the Highledge and padded towards Jayfeather.
Jayfeather felt waves of sorrow coming off of Brambleclaw. Jayfeather motioned with his tail for Brambleclaw to come here.
"Let's go get traveling herbs for your journey to Moonpool." Jayfeather heard Brambleclaw's paw steps padding after him, waves of confusion, eagerness, and something else that Jayfeather couldn't place.
Once inside the medicine cat den (Which was mostly untouched from battle) Jayfeather padded to the back of the store and got out the traveling herbs. He placed them in front of Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw lapped them up.
"Umm Jayfeather." Jayfeather flicked his ears as Brambleclaw spoke so unsurely.
"What is it Brambleclaw?" Jayfeather asked, a tinge of annoyance at the edge of his voice.
"I wanted to let you know that I know that I'm not your real father, but I couldn't be prouder of you, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. You are more than the best kits." Jayfeather felt pride swell through him, but then sorrow when he remembered that Hollyleaf was dead.
"Thank you, you don't know how much that means to me." Jayfeather dipped his head to Brambleclaw, and then flicked his tail and said "come on we have a long journey ahead of us," and with that Jayfeather padded out of the den and into the forest.
Jayfeather returned back to camp with Bramblestar, he had received his nine lives and his name from Starclan.
Jayfeather padded back to his den and began to sniff through the herbs, to determine which ones he needed to collect more of.
"Jayfeather." Jayfeather whirled around as he heard the rasped voice of Yellowfang.
"remember Jayfeather, darkness has fallen, but danger remains, when the time of need comes call to all friends, call for the Raven and the Sky, these two together will help all clans stay alive."
Jayfeather froze, fear coursed through him, and confusion, but all he could mutter was "Great another prophecy."
