The website wouldn't let me post review replies! I couldn't get to the page and without seeing your reviews, I couldn't do review replies.

Mistwing the buttercat: Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Starburst768: Yeah, Hawkfrost is pretty cool of a villain. But I still don't get what everyone has against Millie. Sorry, but the sequel isn't coming out any time soon. I need to still get all of my OCs before getting started. Plus, it's going to be pre-written.

BRUH: Don't get me wrong, I love Tawnypelt, but what she did is far from loyal. If she wants people to stop claiming that she's disloyal, she should be more loyal! This isn't the first time that she's gone against Blackstar's orders. When something is wrong, she'll always go crying to Brambleclaw. I agree that Hollyleaf shouldn't have killed Ashfur, but Ashfur tried to murder four cats. He deserved to die. I'm not sure that Carpflight should be a medicine cat. Are you okay with her being a warrior?

EPILOGUE: THE MUSIC OF THE MIST

Half a moon later

Sassafrasstar's POV

It is a few days after the death of Flowerstar and Orangefoot. The Clan seems to be adjusting pretty well. I have already gone to the Moonpool to receive my nine lives and name, and then I appointed Goldensun to be my deputy. We also held a proper vigil for Midnightstar and everyone else who died on that terrible day.

One morning, Wildwater, Leopardheart, Silvermoon, Goldensun, Bluemist, and I go on a walk. I know that my Clan is my responsibility, but I just can't help it.

So far, our neighbors seem friendly enough. It seems as if we could have a possible alliance with Whitestar in the future if we wanted. Darkstar, well, I don't know what to make of him. He seems to be a lot like Midnightstar – fierce and proud.

Every Clan has less amount of cats because of the whole FlowerClan thing. So, we agreed to a six moon-long truce. The time that the truce ended also marked the time that my kits would reach apprentice age.

Bluemist is content in the medicine den. Willowbranch has retired, so he is the only medicine cat now. He is still good friends with me. We can never be mates – the code won't allow it – but now I know that he'll always be there for me.

Wildwater has been living in this Clan ever since Leopardheart killed Flowerstar. He does miss ThunderClan, but he has us now, and he can't bear to leave us. Besides, he didn't have to leave Brindlepaw behind. Nowadays they spend every spare second of the day together. Leopardheart is teaching him how to swim, and he's actually quite good at it. Unfortunately for him, he can't be with Silvermoon, because Silvermoon is Goldensun's mate now. Silvermoon and Wildwater talked about it, and Wildwater seems to have agreed that they should just be friends.

Silvermoon is now pregnant with Goldensun's kits. Goldensun seems very excited. I hope that being a father will make him more friendly in the future. Goldensun has changed a lot. He used to be arrogant, rude, antisocial, selfish – well, you get the idea. But now he seems more caring and kind than I ever dreamed possible.

Silvermoon has changed too. She's also a lot quieter and less mischievous than before, but she has never lost her sense of fun. Gone is the immature apprentice that used to drive Midnightstar crazy.

Leopardheart is still a lot more mature than Silvermoon, but she seems to act a lot more tolerant towards Silvermoon these days. Instead of getting all worked up about being the best warrior ever, Leopardheart is a bit more fun to be around.

And me? Well, I learned my lesson. I can trust my friends from now on. I don't need to keep all of my emotions bottled up anymore. It just makes things too difficult.

"Oh look," gasped Leopardheart, snapping me out of my trance. "The sunrise!"

"And look!" cried Silvermoon. "Flowers are starting to come up! It's finally new-leaf! And the air's warmer!"

"It's beautiful," Bluemist agreed.

I sighed. After this long leaf-bare, newleaf was finally coming back. And as I sat with my friends as the sun rose, I thought, The cold has gone. We have won out against leaf-bare. And somehow, I knew that there would be many more moons of peace to come.

But Sassafrasstar, how can there be many more moons of peace? It would be a boring second book then!

So this is it! TMotM is officially over. How did you guys like it?
