"The battle is still not over. One must find the source, all will suffer a final blow, but in the end, a new dawn rises."
Chapter 10, and the final chapter. Phantomheart managed to get "Redear" to speak in front of all 5 clans, but he seems to be challenging Lionstar for kicking him out without a say.
I don't feel like writing much for Authors Note up here, so let's just continue.
Onto Chapter 10! PEACE!
"I'd like to see you try!" Lionstar backed off of Scale and started to circle him. I looked around and saw cats, just standing there silently. Even Bluetail was silent! I looked behind me and saw Tundrapelt. "Tundrapelt! Where have you been?" I whispered quietly. I didn't see her when I was trying to get everyones attention earlier.
"How could you not see me? I was inside our territory! Near the outside!" She whispered back. I stared at her confusingly before looking back to Lionstar and Scale. Scale launched himself at Lionstar, and scratched his face. "Oh, like that hurts!" Lionstar put his paw up to the scratch near his left eye, before Scale decided to knock him off his paws. "Give up?" Scale said smirking. "Never!" Lionstar hissed while flailing his legs around, trying to hit Scale.
Scale took his right paw, and slashed Lionstar's right eye, causing his to squel like a kit. His eye was now closed shut, with a scar over his eyelid. Cats now stared at Lionstar in shock. "You mousebrain!" Lionstar hissed. Scale glared at him, before getting off of him. Lionstar tried to charge at Scale, but he jumped to the right side of Lionstar, and knocked him off his paws again. "Scale! Scale!" I looked towards all the cats, and saw some LeafClan and CloudClan warriors cheering for Scale. Tanglestar then stepped forward, and started cheering for him also, and ThornClan quickly followed.
Loads of cats were cheering for Scale! Is it because of him banishing Scale? I looked at Duskstar, who was nodding his head at some of my clanmates, then they started cheering. I looked back towards Scale and Lionstar. "Nobody wants you, Lionstar!" Scale began. "Even some warriors from your clan aren't cheering for you!" He was right! I didn't notice them! I looked behind me at Tundrapelt, who was yelling 'Scale' along with the others, so I joined in. "Why do you all betray me?" Lionstar hissed at the crowd.
Scale looked at me while Lionstar was threatining some of the cats in the crowd, mainly his own. I nodded my head at Scale. He smiled, before looking at Lionstar. He charged forward, jumped on Lionstar's back, and slashed his neck with his paw. He quickly jumped off, and backed away slowly. Lionstar turned his head, and glared with his left eye at Scale, panting. A few moments later, he fell to the ground.
Everyone, including me, began cheering. A few moments into the cheering, I stopped, and ran to Scale's side. "Everyone!" I yelled. Everyone stopped cheering, and payed their attention to me. I looked at Lionstar's body before talking. I looked at Bluetail, who was staring silently at me. I signaled my tail to call her forward. She walked over to me, and I nodded my head. "Thank you." She looked at Scale.
"Thank you for killing him. Ever since his mate died a few moons ago, he was treating our whole clan differently." Bluetail lowered her head at Scale, and everyone began cheering again, especially DawnClan. I thought about what she just said for a moment, before realizing the final part of the prophecy was complete! Lionstar had to be killed, so DawnClan can return to it's not-so-harsh state! "You are DawnClan's new leader, Bluetail." Duskstar stepped forward. "I'm guessing I'll be seeing you at the moonpool tomorrow." He dipped his head at her,
Bluetail smiled at him. I've never seen Bluetail like this! I always thought she was just a grumpy cat, but I guess it was when she became deputy, and she got bossed around a lot by Lionstar. "Bluestar! Bluestar" I started cheering. Everyone quickly joined in with me, chanting 'Bluestar' over and over. Bluestar signaled everyone to be quiet. "Thank you all." She said, then looked at me. I looked back at her, then looked towards the crowd. "Now Scale," I began before looking at Scale.
"All of our thanks goes to you. If you never agreed to come back with me, we would still be fighting. But what are you going to do now?" Scale looked at the crowd before looking back at me. "If DawnClan will accept me, I wouldn't mind coming back." DawnClan started looking at Bluestar. "You are more than welcome to join back, Scale. If you wish, your name will return back to Redear." "Yes, and thank you." Everyone started chanting 'Redear' through the crowd now.
"But." Redear began again, and looked back at me. "Most of the thanks goes to you, Phantomheart. You were the cat who tried to find me. I know I didn't accept at first, and decided to attack you, but hopefully we can put that behind us now. You are the one who saved the clans, Phantomheart, and no one will forget that." I looked shocked and stared at him for a while. I couldn't of done that much though! I only found him, he did all the rest! My thoughts focused back to when I was finding Redear, and blocking out all the chants with my name.
"Thank you. We can now all resume back to our regular life!"
*A few moments later after GlacierClan got back to their camp"
Duskstar ran and sat down in front of the leaders den. "May all cats of any age, please gather outside the leaders den for an announcement." All the cats formed around Duskstar, while the thought of everyone congratulating me still went on in my head. "Phantomheart managed to succesfully find Redear, and peace is now restored along the clans. Though, it will still take some time for us to recover." Cats started cheering amond the crowd.
"I know the excitement is still going through our heads, but I want 3 lucky apprentices to step forward. Pinepaw, Blackpaw, and Sandpaw." Pinepaw, Blackpaw and Sandpaw all looked happily at eachother, and raced to the front of the camp. Duskstar looked at me and winked.
I can't believe Pinepaw will finally become an warrior! I tried to stay focused on what Duskstar was trying to say about Blackpaw and Sandpaw. "I, Duskstar, leader of Glacierclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these 3 apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend them to a warrior in their turn. Pinepaw, Blackpaw, and Sandpaw, do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code and protect and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?" "I do" The three apprentices responded.
"Then by the powers of StarClan I grant you all your warrior name. Pinepaw, you have shown great skills to your clan, and I see Phantomheart has taught you well. From this moment on, you will be known as Pinefall." Duskstar turned his head towards Blackpaw and Sandpaw, you have both shown loyalty to your clan, even after finding out the truth about your parents. From this moment on, Blackpaw, you will be known as Blackfur, and Sandpaw, you will be known as Sandclaw."
"Pinefall! Blackfur! Sandclaw!" Everyone including me chanted through the camp. Pinefall quickly ran towards me. "Congratulations, Pinefall!" I smiled. "Thank you!" Pinefall said as we touched noses. Leafrush came up beside me, congratulating Pinefall also, before every other cat came towards her. "Such a long day today." Leafrush said. "Oh yes" I sighed. I looked at Tundrapelt and Speckletail, who were happily talking away outside the warriors den.
Leafrush's tail patted my back. "Hey, don't worry. She will always find time for you." She always knew what I was thinking. I looked at the sky, and saw it was getting dark quickly. "Well, hopefully almost everything will go back to normal tomorrow. I'm going to bed." I said while saying goodbye to Leafrush. I passed Tundrapelt and Speckletail as I walked into the den and curled up in my nest. I quickly closed my eyes.
"You saved the clans, Phantomheart. You saw what others did not, the truth in Redear. Always trust your heart, and you will go far. I am proud of you."
The End of Warriors: Next Destinies.
Woo. Not a huge ending chapter, but at least it's better than nothing.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but I got "Next Destinies" from the title of this story from the Pokemon Trading Card Game(Which is also my favorite set)
I have also decided to make another story based on these clans. But the next story takes place 10 moons after this story, in CloudClan instead of GlacierClan(I'm not planning any more adventures for Phantomheart, even if she is my main cat.) The story will be based around Skystorm, a gray she-cat with lighter gray stripes and paws with green eyes. The story will probably be called "Warriors: Clouds Of Mystery"
Until next time, Peace!(Oh, and if you want to also, feel free to R&R. It can help me improve my stories.)
