"Well, I'm going to turn in. Good night, Dappletail," The small gray she-cat opened her jaws in a wide yawn.
"Good night One-eye," The frail tortoiseshell replied. "Have a good sleep,"
One-eye walked toward the elder's den and entered, the comforting scents of deceased friends and sleeping elders enveloping her with a feeling of tiredness. She smelled the fresh scent of Goldenflower in the far corner. Dread and misery rolled off of the recently joined elder. She is probably having and bad dream, thought One-eye as she settled next to the ginger she-cat, giving her companion a few quick licks before getting comfortable. She shut her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Light suddenly hit her eyelids, making One-eye recoil in terror. Opening her eyes, her sight was filled with a huge ginger tom, bright stars reflecting off his pelt.
"Sunstar, is that you?" She gingerly got up and bounded over to her former leader, surprised by her new found strength.
"One-eye. It has been a long time since we have seen each other. I'm taking you to enlist in the ranks of StarClan. Come, touch my pelt," Sunstar turned to go into the Stars, but One-eye paused looking back at Goldenflower, peacefully sleeping next to her old worn-out body.
"What about Goldenflower and Speckletail? They need someone older and more experienced in being an elder to help them for a little while. Please let me stay," She pleaded her eyes big like a kit's.
Sunstar shook his powerful head, green eyes gleaming with sorrow like the sun glowing through leaves. "You have lived through two leaders and you have seen the beginning of a third. It is time for you to join the ranks,"
One-eye gave one last glance at Goldenflower before gently placing her tail on the former leader's shoulder. "Let's go home,"
One single brilliant star was added to Sliverpelt that night.
