Featherclaw padded through the forest, his three daughters, Silentfire, Brindleheart, and Snowstep.

Today, was the day he would die, he could feel it in his heart.

He was simply happy he could spend his last day with his three living daughters, and that when he died, he would be able to see his mate, Goldensky, and his other two kits, Spiderkit and Dawnpaw, again.

As he walked through the forest, admiring the birds flying through the sky, and the brightly colored flowers, scattered acrossed the forest ground, he thought about his life.

78 Moons Ago...

A six moon old Featherkit bounded out of the nursery, his black fur sticking up all over the place, his white paws muddied up, but his bright blue eyes full of excitement.

His mother, Ravenflower, laughed and shook her head slightly, following her kit.

Finally, Featherkit reached the Great Branch, The Leader, Willowstar, looking down at him, her warm amber eyes gleaming with amusement.

"Featherkit, Do you promise to protect the clan with your life?" Willowstar meowed.

"I Do!" Featherkit meowed excitedly.

"Then until you become a warrior, you shall be known as Featherpaw!" Willowstar meowed, "Loudstrike, you are you strong and loyal warrior, and had an amazing mentor yourself, I would like you to mentor Featherpaw."

Loudstrike nodded, and touched noses with Featherpaw.

Now...

Featherclaw quietly laughed at the memory

As he looked a the several large trees Forestclan was known for, he remembered the first time he climbed a tree.

76 Moons Ago...

Featherpaw had been an apprentice for two moons, and had become an amazing fighter, but a rather clumsy hunter.

But today, neither of those subects were important, as today, he would be learning how to climb a tree.

He finished up his meal and bounded after his mentor, excited for the lesson he was about to learn.

As they reached the spot they would be training at, he observed the small clearing they were now in, before staring, wide eyed, at the huge tree he would hopefully be climbing by the end of the day.

Loudstrike started talking about how to climb a tree, and Featherpaw listened.

Then, Loudstrike padded over to the tree, and leapt upwards, hooking his claws into the bark.

Featherpaw watched amazed as his mentor started to climb the tree, and eventually reach one of the lower branches.

Loudstrike chuckled at his apprentice's amazement, and called down to him, "Alright! Now it's your turn!"

Featherpaw padded up to the tree, slightly nervous, what if he fell? He might not be able to be a warrior or even worse, die.

He finally leapt and hooked his claws into the bark, and slowly but surely, he made it up to a branch next to Loudstrike's.

Now...

Featherclaw remembered how nervous he was, and thought about how now, it was like second nature to him.

Looking at his three daughters, he remembered how he first met his mate, and when the three were born, along with their dead siblings of course.

67 Moons Ago...

Featherclaw was a young warrior, and he was in love.

With who?, Goldensky, she was a rouge who had joined the clan a moon before he had become a warrior.

He had never talked to her, as everytime he got close, he would become flustered and end up running off.

But Today, Featherclaw would finally talk to her!

Featherclaw saw her sitting at the prey pile by herself, and decided then would be a good time to talk to her.

He walked up, forcing himself not to turn back.

"H-Hi, Go-Goldensky," Featherclaw stuttered out, "D-do you mind if I sit with you?"

Goldensky laughed and shook her head, "Of Course not! I've been wanting to get to know you for a while now."

60 Moons Ago...

Featherclaw paced outside of the nursery, waiting for the medicine cat, Bluepool, to allow him in.

He and Goldensky became good friends, and eventually mate after his first meeting with her, and now, she was having his kits!

Finally Bluepool allowed him inside the nursery, telling him he had five kits, four she-kits and one tom.

As he walked inside the nursery he saw Goldensky, and his five kits, one a pale golden like its mother, two of them were black like him, one a tortoiseshell, and one a silvery white.

"Aren't they beautiful? I've already thought of names for three of them, The Black She-kit is Silentkit for how quiet she is, The Silvery White She-kit is Snowkit for her pelt color, and The Tom is Spiderkit for his long legs," Goldensky meowed, "You can name the Tortoiseshell She-kit and The Pale Golden She-kit."

Featherclaw nodded, happy with the names she came up with, thinking for a second. he meowed, "How about Dawnkit for the one the Pale Golden She-kit, and Brindlekit for The Tortoiseshell She-kit."

"Those are lovely names! Welcome to Forestclan Silentkit, Snowkit, Spiderkit, Dawnkit, and Brindlekit!"

Now...

Featherclaw gave a small smile at the memory, before falling to the forest floor.

'So this is it,' He thought, 'This is my time to join Starclan.'

"Father! Whats Wrong?! Get Up!" Snowstep yelped, eyes wide as she watched her father die before her eyes, "Brindleheart, Go Get Fernfrost!"

"Haha, no that won't be nesesscary, Snowstep," Featherclaw began, taking a deep breath before continuing, "It's my time to die, I've know it was coming for a while now"

"But, But Father!" Silentfire meowed, alarmed by her father's calmness, "Don't you have anything else you want to do with life?!"

"Ha...ha, I'll be able to watch over you all in Starclan, I'm just glad I got to complete my final wish...watching you three grow up," Featherclaw meowed, his vision growing darker, the final thing he heard was his daughters calling his name, and the leader, deputy, and medicine cat surrounding him.

But, as he took his last breath, he was just glad he could complete his last wish.
