Ember looked up at his mate, her eyes glossy with grief.
"Please don't go," was all she managed to choke out. Ember struggled to sit up and touch his nose to hers.
"You'll have to care for our kits on your own." The she-cat didn't reply, trying to swallow back a sob. "I love you, I'll wait for you in StarClan, no matter the cost." She looked up at him, tears streaming down her beautiful face. With one last purr, exhaustion crept over him, overwhelming his body until the pain finally stopped. He then stood and padded out into the forest, taking his last glance at his mate. She lay hunched over his body, soaked in blood. He purred before leaping up into the sky, his family leading the way to StarClan.
Context: In this case, he died protecting his mate from a dog, like the one that killed his family. The Clans have been haunted for weeks with this dog, which bled to death just like him after the fight. His mate returns to her Clan, pregnant with his kits and never takes another mate, and stares up into the sky every night, relishing in Ember's memory. He does join StarClan, however, his family isn't allowed in, for they never believed or knew of StarClan. He is allowed in despite his sins because he sacrificed himself for a Clan cat and her kits and he believed and knew of their existence, looking up to them in a vague sense.
