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
