Last part in the Story! But make sure to look out for other books of the seires, which are summerized in my profile. Quite a few interesting pairings in the next seiries. Remember to Review two, as Falconwing and Woodflower are reunited!
"Woodflower?" Foamtail pricked her ears as her friend pulled herself out of the warriors den and stood as more proudly then she had ever in two years, head pert, eyes flashing, ears twitching. Her nose twitched as a breeze wafted by her, and she began walking forward.
"Smell that?" she meowed, "It smells clean, fresh, the smell of a cats' true scent. One without forest or water or Clan. Foamtail, do you smell it?" The pale she-cat lifted her head and sniffed, but shook her head. Icefire stood up and pricked his ears, then opened his blind eye, which he usually kept closed, and peered around the camp before closing it again.
"The wind patterns have changed," murmured Icefire, "Dramatically; the nursery is getting a cold breeze now instead of a warm one." He narrowed his eye, "Something is coming that is changing the nature of the forest to what it once was."
"It was like the time when Falconwing was with us," meowed Foamtail, "I feel like I'm an apprentice in the forest again, with everything clear and fresh and wild. Everything seemed to die while he was gone, and now they're rejoicing."
"He's home," whispered Woodflower, pointing her nose towards the entrance of the camp, "Look."
Slowly, out of the shadows by the camp entrance, a limp figure dragged himself into view. He was battered and old, older then Icefire and younger then Lionstar or the clan deputy, Redstorm. He held his head low in exhaustion and around his crown was a shimmering golden circlet. A golden necklace was in his mouth, with a wooden flower pendant handing loosely off of it, he didn't raise his head to look at anyone, and two large gray falcon wings dragged on the ground on either side of him.
One of the newest apprentices, Drizzlepaw, a gray and white tom, raced forward, pelt bristling at the intruder.
"State your name and business!" the little tom growled, ignoring the fact that he could bowl him over with a flick of his tail.
"Drizzlepaw-" Fate hurried to explain but Falconwing flicked his tail in silence towards Foamtail. She hesitated then kept quiet; he now carried the air of a king around him.
"You're name is Drizzlepaw?" meowed Falconwing, straitening up, "I am Falconwing, son of Sootstar and Rainheart, the Falconwing who walked along side the gods and goddesses Fate, Destiny, Dreams, and Wish. I travel with a forest spirit who has granted me the wings of a falcon to protect the ones I love. I was stolen by the very force I used to seal the Cerberus in the Eternal Twilight and later assisted in his assassination.
"I have traveled through time and space with the scentless she-cat Split, who has the ability to travel between worlds, and have been lucky enough to meet three fine cats who were fine warriors and excellent thinkers." He looked past Drizzlepaw now, "And if you don't mind, I would like to meet the she-cat who I've been waiting years to be reunited with." He walked past Drizzlepaw and strait towards Woodflower, who narrowed her eyes warily as he sat down and curled his tail around his paws, tucking his wings to his sides.
"So you're really back." Meowed Woodflower snippily, Falconwing nodded steadily and Woodflower raised a paw, striking Falconwing across the face and leaving three long scratches in his cheek. Foamtail moved to stop Woodflower from striking a second time, but Icefire stopped her.
"Compared to Woodflowers' pain," murmured Falconwing, dabbing at his cheek with a free paw, "This is nothing." Foamtail glanced back over at Woodflower, and noticed she was crying, thick tears running down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
"You idiot," she whispered through sobs, "You took too long." Falconwing smiled cockily and Woodflower rushed to his side, curling around him and licking his head and neck vigorously. Through her watery eyes she saw the dozens of scars along his flank and began crying even harder, "Look at those scars, you must have been in so much pain."
Falconwing smiled softer now and licked Woodflower on her shoulder twice, "Like I said; compared to Woodflowers' pain, this is nothing.". Through her watery eyes she saw the dozens of scars along his flank and began crying even harder, "Look at those scars, you must have been in so much pain."
Falconwing smiled softer now and licked Woodflower on her shoulder twice, "Like I said; compared to Woodflowers' pain, this is nothing."
"You idiot."
"Yes, I'm an idiot, but I'm a loveable idiot, right?"
"Shut up and I might forgive you."
"I'd say you already forgave me."
"Falconwing."
"Yes, my little catnip and mouse-tail?"
"Excuse me?"
"Sweetie-honey and Dandelion puff?"
"What are you calling me?"
"Do you have a problem with my little nicknames, oh divine and gloriously beautiful one?"
"Now you just want to get hit again."
"Oh little darling of the sun and light of my heart, you wound me! I would never-"
WHACK
"Owwww……"
"You idiot."
"Yes, I'm an idiot, but I'm a loveable idiot, right?"
The four cats laughed as the other cats, those who had known him and those who had not, crept in closer to see the winged tom. However, the Sightless she-cat and the winged tom ignored them. After two years of being separated, they were together at last.
And for the first time in two years, the forest was as it should have been.
At peace.
So what happened after? After Falconwing returned, Lionstar grew ill and died, leading to Redstorm becoming Leader and appointing Falconwing to being deputy, with no ones disagreement. Falconwing and Woodflower settled down and began catchin up for a few moons, while Drizzlepaw grew and become a great warrior. Icefire showed Falconwing the extent of his blind eye, including temperture changes and outlines of the lesser spirits of StarClan.
Foamtail revealed that she was pregnant again, and then gave brith to three healthy kits. For a while many cats suspeted that Woodflower and Falconwing would have kits, but they decided not to for the time being, and often were seen relaxing togeather during their free time. However, when Redstar died in an incident during newleaf, Falconwing then became leaderand finally decided to have kits. Three moons later Woodflower gave birth to two kits. However, one died, and now their only son, Whitepaw, is an apprentice of Icefire. Whitepaw, however, was not told of his fathers heroic deeds or his passing through worlds, and instead grew up as the son of a leader, and into a fine warrior.
Split and Brick were reunited as well, and Split learned that Rainpatter and Whistlewater had kits as well, two, Foxfire and Fenseris, who oddly enough, gained bright pink fur. Brick and Split became the King and Queen of the Eternal Twilight, and are currently expecting their first litter.
Of course, though, the story never ends here.
