Epilouge
"Finally, they'll be apprentices today," A rather tired Luelight smiled. "I'll miss your company Luelight." Vapourcloud sighed looking down at her two kits. "Well, you'll be back to the warrior den in a moon, and you have Beekit and Crystalkit." Luelight grinned, suddenly feeling guilt wash over her, Beekit and Crystalkit would never meet their father...
"I'm gonna be known as Goldtail, and I'm going to fight for the clan and never break Orangestar's warrior code." Goldkit growled, pouncing on his sister, playfully. "No, you'll break it in a day, anyways, we're only going to be apprentices." His sister replied batting Goldkit of with a sheathed paw. "Only apprentices? Only apprentices? Do you have any idea what apprentices do? We'll fight for our clan, we'll hunt we'll."
"Check the elders for ticks?" Pebblekit interrupted, laughing.
"Quiet you two, Vapourcloud's tired." Luelight tilted her head, "and you'll be late, looks like Orangestar's starting."
Luelight watched Pebblekit and Goldkit race to the tree stump, excitedly looking around. "I'm gonna miss you Auntie Luelight." Beekit yawned. "No, I'm going to miss you more." Crystalkit muttered, closing her eyes.
"I'm sorry they call you Auntie." Vapourcloud smiled, "anyways, you better go.. Like you said, it's starting." Luelight smiled and headed out of the den saying her goodbyes to Vapourcloud and Crystalkit, Beekit had fallen asleep.
"Goldkit, do you promise to protect your clan and follow my warrior code?" Luelight smiled as Orangestar spoke, how had she managed to get a leader as her mate?
"I do,"
"Then by the powers of me, I name you Gold paw, your mentor shall be Smallpelt."
Gold paw touched shoulders with his mentor, an embarrassed look in his eye.
"Pebblekit do you promise to uphold my warrior code and protect your clan?" Orangestar asked, loosing his stern manner, he always had a soft spot for Pebblekit.
"Yes... I mean, I do." Pebblekit chirped nervosly.
"Then by the powers of me, I name you Pebblepaw."
Pebblepaw looked round happily.
"Bush path, do you think your ready to take on an apprentice?" Luelight looked at Bush path, she was a little on the small side, her brown fur sticking out at odd angles.
"M.. Me? Yes I think so," Bush path barely had time to speak,
"Then I trust you to pass on all you know. Pebblepaw your mentor shall be Bushpath." Pebblepaw nervously touched shoulders with her mentor.
Luelight smiled, the beauty's in life were so small, you really have to appreciate then quickly, or they'll be gone, 'just like my brother.' Luelight though smiling as she remembered all the time she shared with him, all the times she shared with Orangestar and finnially, she remembered her newborn kits. Then smaller things, the way the sun glowed on Featherpaw's pelt, the gold flecks in Orangestar's eyes... The sunset she always watched with Finchwing, how BlueStar gave Moon clan a chance and finnially, her reflection in the water.
~Life is a gift you must treasure...
