Last Hope

I am Robinstar.

You have not heard of me, young cat. I was the leader of ShadowClan before Raggedstar took over. You remember Raggedstar, yes? How sad I was when he was killed by his own son, Brokentail. I loved Raggedpelt like a brother, and we were so close that I went to him for leadership advice.

When I was deputy, just small little Robinwing, the leader was Frogstar. He died just a quarter moon after I was appointed deputy, and you'd better believe Raggedpelt was there for me. He gave me suggestions when I needed them most. I was blind to his help at first, and I appointed my other friend Duskshadow as deputy. Unfortunately, he was killed soon after he accepted his duty. By then I was no longer blind to his help, and Raggedpelt became my next loyal deputy.

He served me until the day I died. I knew there was something special about him. Something about the way he made sensible decisions and the way he held himself. He was a cat destined to be leader. I had made a wise choice.

It happened during a battle with RiverClan over territory.

My death.

The prophecy I received.

My loyal deputy and my warriors were fighting to their deaths below me with those fish-loving RiverClan cats. I watched in horror as my own daughter and brother were killed by a cat called Redfur. Anger took hold of me, and I launched myself into battle. Redfur gave a good fight, and I was soon finding it hard to fight him. He was a very strong cat.

I had only two lives left.

He struck my throat.

I was sent to StarClan nearly immediately. My mother, an attractive named Frostedmoon, padded over to me with a gloomy look on her face. "My dear Robinstar," she mewed. "It is time for you to join us."

"I have one life left after this!" I cried.

She shook her head solemnly. "That blow took two of your lives," she explained. "However, we need a message to get to Raggedpelt before you die. We are allowing you to go down, live a short last life, and tell him. Then you will join us here, in StarClan."

I nodded, understanding but not wanting to leave ShadowClan yet. I had so much I wanted to do...

Suddenly I was back in the battle. Raggedpelt was standing over me, calling my name and looking anxious. I unexpectedly felt something tugging at me, and I realized it was my line to StarClan.

"Raggedpelt?"

"Yes, Robinstar?" he mewed nervously.

"I am going to die. First, I have something to tell you." It was then I grasped that I had not been told the message, but I knew it anyway.

"Raggedstar," I murmured, feeling myself slipping away. "You have a choice. You will save ShadowClan, or you will make it broken stars floating away. Right now, you are ShadowClan's last hope."

I closed my eyes.

He was their last hope.
