Now without further ado...
THE EPILOGUE!
Leafpool raced along side Crowstar, Hollyleaf, and Squirrelstar. They were each trying to be the first to the large rock up ahead. Leafpool's paws pounded into the ground forcing herself to speed up. Hollyleaf was up ahead, Crowstar was a tail-length behind her, Squirrelstar was ahead of Leafpool by a few strides making Leafpool dead last. Crowstar leaped and was suddenly ahead of Hollyleaf.
"I won!" Crowstar crowed.
Crowstar was on top of the rock, his black fur gleaming in the warm sunlight.
"No fair!" Hollyleaf panted, "You are a Windclan cat, everyone knows that Windclan is the swiftest cats around."
"You're part Windclan remember?" Crowstar pointed out.
"Well then, I must have taken after Leafpool."
"Hey!" Leafpool nudged her daughter. "I'm not that slow!"
"Yeah you are! Even as a kit you were the slow one!" Squirrelstar teased.
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
The two she-cats started a playful scuffle only to be interrupted by a pale ginger she-cat.
"You two are acting like kits, do I have to wash your fur like I had to do when you were little?"
"Hey Sandstorm!" Leafpool greated her mother, shoving her sister off of her.
"Are they acting like kits again?" A warm voice asked.
"Firestar!" Squirrelstar meowed.
The fiery tom nodded, his green eyes warm.
"What are you two doing here?" Hollyleaf asked.
"Well we came here to tell you that she is here, but you look a little busy," Sandstorm mused.
"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Leafpool wailed.
Leafpool ran off towards the river.
Crowstar raced after his mate followed by Firestar, Sandstorm, Hollyleaf, and Squirrelstar. Soon the cats reached the river. They padded down to the small pool at the end of the river, surrounded by trees. Leafpool looked around, Heathertail, Breezepelt, and Whisperkit were here.
"Are you sure she is here?" Leafpool hissed.
"Be patient, they just reached the pool a few moments ago," Sandstorm meowed.
Soon the pool rippled and a jet black she-cat stepped into Starclan.
"Darkpool," Leafpool whispered.
"Darkpool! Welcome to Starclan," Firestar's voice rang out. "You have came here to receive your nine lives and I am honored to give you your first life."
Firestar touched his nose to his granddaughter's forehead, "With life I give clear judgement, with this life I expected you to use this life for all the clans, not just your own."
The tom stepped backed and Sandstorm took his place.
"I am Sandstorm, Leafpool's mother. This life I give you is to see what is beyond your own nose. Exploring beyond our borders, you never know what you can find," Her pale leaf green eyes flicking with memories.
Heathertail stepped forward, "I give you the life of making decisions, trust your instincts and you know what will be right."
"I give you humor, use it to lighten up your situations. Trust me, it will make life in Windclan a lot easier," Breezepelt meowed.
"Thank you," Darkpool whispered.
Hollyleaf stepped up, if Hollyleaf didn't have green eyes, Leafpool would have a hard time telling the sisters apart. They both took after Crowstar, Leafpool realized.
"I am Hollyleaf, I died in the great battle before you were born."
Darkpool dipped her head, "I have heard amazing stories about you. How you saved the clans from Sol."
"I only wish I could have changed the night of the fire…." Hollyleaf whispered.
Leafpool felt a pang of guilt, if she didn't tell Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather sooner that she was their mother then Ashfur wouldn't have tried to do anything.
Hollyleaf lifted her head and gave her pelt a shake, "Never mind that! I have a life to give you!"
Hollyleaf almost sounded kit like, "I give you Justice, listen to what the clans tell you. Don't go and do something that you regret before hearing the whole story."
"I will, I promise," the sister whispered.
Whisperkit bounced up, "I give you the life of tireless energy. Use this life to serve your clan!"
Crowstar whispered into Leafpool's ear, "It makes sense that Whisperkit is giving the life of tireless energy, after all kits never seem to calm down!"
Leafpool nodded.
"Whisperkit, Silvermoon misses you," Darkpool's heart seemed to break.
"I know." She meowed. "But tell her that I love her and that I am happy here!"
"Whisperkit!" a cat yowled.
The cats looked around, and spotted Whisperkit's brother Moonlark, the Windclan medicine cat, looking up.
Whisperkit purred, "I've missed you."
"Me too..." Moonlark choked.
With a dip of her head, Whisperkit bounced away.
"I will, I promise!" Darkpool called after her
Squirrelstar padded up, she touched her nose to Darkpool's head, "I give you friendship, not just in your own clan but in other clans too. Sometimes when clans come together for a problem it makes the clans stronger."
Leafpool could tell that her sister was thinking about the Great Journey. Squirrelstar walked away, taking her place by Sandstorm.
Crowstar was next, "I give you pateince, we are all used to making choices as soon as problems come up but if you wait then you know that the deciosn you make will guide you and the clans better."
Darkpool looked up at her father, "I will make you proud."
"I'm already proud. I know that you will make a fantastic leader for Windclan."
My turn.
Leafpool walked up to her daughter, "I give you the strength of a mother's love."
Leafpool touched her nose to Darkpool's. The memories of the times raising her kits and what it felt like to protect them surged through Leafpool into Darkpool. Darkpool dug her claws into the ground. After a few moments had passed Leafpool stopped.
"Lead your clan wisely and with all the strenghts of the lives we gave you….Darkstar!" Leafpool meowed.
"Darkstar! Darkstar! Darkstar!"
Well its done... did you all like it?
I know I said that last chapter that I was done with the riddles...
BUT
I love writing them!
So here is your last riddle
We played in the dark
Confined in the dark
In a Clan that was dark but not evil
Watched by Ancient eyes
But it could not be
Because his love for his Clan overpowered his love for me...
Who am I?
Shout outs will be on the next chapter!
K,
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
