Whitestorm

The battle around me grows darker

With each rasp of breath

And I know that soon I will join you

Be in your sparkling ranks, StarClan

And I only have one question

Did I do enough?

Did I honor my Clan, my ancestors, you, Bluestar?

Had I been the best warrior I ever could have been?

Had I been loyal, someone ThunderClan could be proud of?

Was my legacy strong?

My kits – Sorrelkit, Rainkit, Sootkit – will you be proud of me?

Will you think of your father, will you remember me?

And, oh, StarClan,

I can only hope

That I did enough as ThunderClan deputy

Did I help our young leader

To be a strong cat, to make the right decisions, to take charge?

There was only so much I could do, StarClan

I am sorry

Please guide Firestar the rest of the way

Light his path forever, help him succeed in his destiny

I know he will be legendary

If only I could stay to see it

See my kits become his proud warriors

But I may only watch from the stars, it seems

A silent, surveying specter

A warrior of the past

And a father, deep down, too

StarClan, I can see you approach

Your pelts glittering in the sunlight, hovering above the battle

And you beckon me to go

Bluestar, you stand in front as always

Blue eyes gentle for me

A flash of flame; Firestar races to my side

Dimly I hear him yowl my name

Bluestar, please, give me a few more moments!

"Good-bye, Firestar," I croak, gasping for breath

Bluestar is at my side, I feel her strength pour in

And I need to tell him…

"Graystripe, find Cinderpelt," I hear him say

"Too late," I whisper, "I go hunt with StarClan."

"You can't!" Firestar is frantic. "The Clan needs you! I need you!"

He is like a small kit, I realize with a pang

No time, Firestar. You must move on…

"You will find others," I gasp

I see the gray warrior at his friend's side

"Trust your heart, Firestar." Bluestar helps me say the words.

"You have always known that Graystripe is the cat StarClan destined

To be your deputy."

I sigh and feel my strength leaving; slowly I close my eyes

The darkness takes me in and suddenly

The pain leaves

I am free, standing above my body

A spirit of StarClan at last

I brush past Firestar, a final goodbye

Before I follow the other cats of StarClan

Into the clear blue sky

And still I wonder

Did I do enough?

The End
