Epilogue

Firestar jumped down from High Ledge and walked over to Graystripe, "It's good to have you back, old friend. How did you find your way to the camp?"

"We went into Windclan territory and Onestar had one of his warriors take us to the border where we met Dustpelt's patrol."

"Oh," Firestar sighed.

"What is it?"asked Graystripe.

"What am I to do with Brackenfur? I appointed him deputy in sight of Starclan."

"Well Starclan has different things planned for each of us. Maybe I was suppose to be taken away so I could meet Dawnheart and so Brackenfur could become deputy. Maybe Brackenfur is the rightful deputy. Besides I like the simple hunting as a warrior life. You should keep Brackenfur as deputy."

Just then Squirrelflight ran up to Firestar and Graystripe, "Father! Leafpool just told me great news!"

"What is it?" asked Firestar.

"Leafpool confirmed that I am going to have kits!"

"That's wonderful!" congradulated Firestar, "Have you told your mother yet?"

"Just did. I am so excited."

"Who's the father? Brambleclaw?"

"Who else? After Hawkfrost died..."

"Wait..." interrupted Graystripe, "Hawkfrost died?"

"Yeah. Apperently he caught greencough last leaf-bare and died. Anyway, afterwards I forgave Brambleclaw for whatever he was doing and he admitted that he loved me. I'm so happy."

"Indeed," said Firestar, "Well you had better go find a nest in the nursury, I'm sure Lillyfoot, Streamcloud and Vineclaw would love the company."

"Who's Lillyfoot, Streamcloud and Vineclaw?" asked Graystripe.

"Vineclaw and Lillyfoot are apart of Sorreltail and Brackenfur's first litter. Her mate is Ashfur. Lillyfoot's mate is Thornclaw. Streamcloud, well, Streamcloud is Princess. Her mate is Ravenclaw."

"No way. Ravenpaw? They got together?"

"Ravenclaw,but yeah. Apparently they really got to know each other on their journey here and they fell in love. Cloudtail is glad to have his mother here."

"Firestar, there's something you need to know."

"What?"

"Dawnheart is Cloudtail's sister."

"So that would make Princess her mother?"

"Yeah."

"Well I'm sure Streamcloud will be thrilled to have another of her kits with her. Why don't you tell her? Ravenclaw should be with her."

"Ok." Graystripe found Dawnheart talking with Sandstorm, Squirrelflight and Leafpool, "Dawnheart, I want to introduce you to someone very special."

"Who?"

"You mother and brother."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Come on!" Graystripe ran over to Cloudtail and said, "Cloudtail, I would like you to meet your sister."

"She's my sister? Your mate, my sister?" asked Cloudtail.

"Yup," Dawnheart replied, "I'm so glad to finally see you."

"Same."

"Come on Dawnheart, let's go meet your mother," Graystripe scampered over to Streamcloud, "Streamcloud right?"

"Yeah. You're Graystripe. I remember you from before the forest was destroyed. And this must be Dawnheart. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you, mother."

"Excuse me? Did you say that I was your mother?"

"Yeah. It's me Autumn."

"Great Starclan. I never though I would see you again."

"Me either but now I can see you everyday."

"Hey Graystripe!" called a familiar voice. It was Ravenclaw.

"Ravenclaw. So you came. What? Loner life not suited for you?"

"Nah but they tore down the barn and Barley was crushed in the wreckage. A family found him and took him in. He told me to go to my clan so I met up with Princess and we did. Firestar made me a warrior."

"I've noticed. But who would've though that you would end up with Streamcloud."

"Destiny has it's ways."

Firestar make a coughing noise from High Ledge to get everyone's attention, "Cats of Thunderclan. Kits and elders alike. I am proud to say that for the first time in a long time, Thunderclan is complete. We have all the ones we love around. Living or in Starclan. Former kittypet or clan born. We have been through many things together and now we can rest knowing that we are at peace with other clans and we are safe in this new territory. No leader could be more proud of this clan then I am of you. Thunderclan had returned to it former glory!"
