Epilogue

That night we had buried the dead, it was hard for me to see the body of Firestar and the other disappear. For a week the Clans stayed to themselves, mourning the dead and rebuilding their ruined camps. Bramblestar had gone and gotten his nine lives and everything was calm. And another thing, Bramblestar when he got back from getting his nine lives named me, Molepaw,and Cherrypaw, warriors because of our bravery in the battle. Yes, I was now a true warrior. I was Chillygaze once again, Molepaw is now Molewhisker, and Cherrypaw is now Cherryseed.

Everything was calm until Starclan visited me in my dreams.

"Chillygaze." I opened my eyes to see I was once again in Starclan's hunting grounds surrounded by just about every warrior cat I'd ever know over the series. You know, the ones that aren't evil.

"Oh, hi. What's going on?" I asked and the Starclan warriors all looked at one another. Then Firestar, who had Spottedleaf on his right and Runningwind to his left, spoke.

"You have completed your destiny. And now you have a choice, you can choose to stay with the Clans, be a warrior, and serve your clan until you join Starclan. Or,"

"Or?" I whispered.

"Or you can go back to being a twoleg." My jaw dropped, I could be human again?

"I can go home?" Firestar nodded. Tallstar stepped forward.

"But be warned, if you choose to be a twoleg again then you will lose all memory of being with the Clans." He said solemnly.

"WHAT! So I can choose to be a warrior, stay with the clans, but never see my family ever again. Or be human and forget any of this ever happened?" I said distraught.

"It your choice." Said a she cat, that she cat was Hollyleaf who was actually sitting next to Ashfur of all cats. Weird.

But what should I choose? Stay a warrior, know that I helped beat one of the greatest threats of all time, protect Thunderclan, be a hero. And maybe, one day have kits.

Or I could go back to my old life, not remember any of this. Go back to normal, plain, human me. And live with my family and be just like every other human out there.

I shook my head, the choice was obvious. I looked around at all the Starclan warriors, Thunderclan, Windclan, Riverclan, and Shadowclan. once separate but now one. Jayfeather was right, the barriers are only in our minds. Now matter what, I would always be part human part warrior. Even though my choice might say differently for some.

"I hope they can forgive me." I said to the surrounding cats. Flametail bowed his head.

"I know they will understand." I smiled sadly.

"So you know my choice?"

"Chillygaze, we have always known." Said Stonefur who was sitting beside Bluestar.

I sighed, this was it, no going back.

"I'm ready." I said, then everything turned white.

I opened my eyes.

Sunlight streamed on my face, ugh, Monday. I got up and stretched. I smiled and got out of my bed, and made myself presentable. Then I walked outside and raised my head to the sun of a new dawn. I breathed, But for some reason I had the feeling that I was missing something, something important.

"Hey Chillygaze!" My head snapped in the direction of Squirrelflight's voice.

"You're going to the gathering tonight, or did you forget?"

"Oh right! Sorry I just forgot for a moment."

"I hope you don't also forget you are training Lilypaw along with Molewhisker and Seedpaw. Then Cherryseed, Bramblestar, and Blossomfall will join you later with Dewpaw, Snowpaw, and Amberpaw.

"Good to know." I replied, I went to wake my apprentice. Molewhisker and Seedpaw were already waiting for us at the training hollow. Seven moons had passed since I made my choice.

Did I miss being human? More than anything. But I was a warrior, and I would forever protect the Clans, not just Thunderclan. Because after the battle the clans have stopped marking the borders, because we all realised that the borders are only in our minds. No matter what happens from now on we were all one clan.

Just the other day Windclan was having problems with two dogs that some humans let loose. Me, spiderleg, and Lionblaze went to help. And Riverclan had sent some warriors too. Like I said, one clan. If one clan wanted to send a message to another clan all they have to do is go directly to that camp, they weren't questioned only greeted. All the clans prospered because of not having to do border patrol they could spend more time hunting.

Oh, and another thing, I was going to have kits.

"Brindlekit stop tormenting your brother, and Moonkit please stop teasing you sister." I sighed, just then Coalkit pounced on Brindlekit and she squealed in excitement. My three kits started to chase each other around the nursery. But then Molewhisker entered and they all jumped him.

"Kits be nice to your father, he's been out catching food for our clan and Shadowclan, they're having a shortage and we have to help them.

"When I grow up I'll help the other clans just like you do!" Brindlekit told her father. She looked most like him with her brown and white coat, I had named her in honor of Brindleface. Coalkit was all black but had a white spot right in the middle of his forehead. Moonkit was a silver kit with fur that when out in the moonlight, looked like it was on fire, silver fire.

"I'll be back in a moment, me and Lilybreeze have to give prey to Sandstorm, Graystripe, Dustpelt in the elders den." Molewhisker left and Daisy came up next to me and sat down. Purdy had passed last winter, he was old and wasn't strong enough to fight off sickness.

"Mother, tell us of the time before the clan were one!" Begged Moonkit,

"Yeah! Before the final battle for the Clans!" Added Coalkit.

"Alright, Many moons ago the Clans were divided, they helped each other only when Starclan told them too-"

"How could the clans have ever not been together?" Questioned Brindlekit, "How had we survived so long by staying separate?"

"When I'm a warrior I'll help make sure all the clans are safe and if one clan need me I'll be there in an instant!" Cried Moonkit. Oh how things had changed, before the battle all any kit could talk about was how they were going to attack the other clans and defeat them. Now all kits said they were going to protect all the Clans.

"Do you want me to finish the story or not?" I asked them, they immediately quieted down and I continued. Soon they were sleeping peacefully and Molewhisker reentered.

"Heathertail's here to warn us of a fox that was seen near the lake. Onestar wants to help create a plan to drive it from the clans." He said.

"That's good, have you seen Leafpool by any chance?" I said, Molewhisker shook his head and I smiled, the other day when I went out into the forest I could have sworn I sented Leafpool's sent along with another, familiar, Windclan warrior sent. I think you know who I'm talking about.

"Well thats ok." Molewhisker settled down beside me. I purred, this was perfect, the Clans were going to forever be one, I had kits and an awesome mate.

I had given up being human a long time ago, my kits were almost ready to be apprentices. And the clans had entered a golden age. I fell asleep with Molewhisker next to me. I was a warrior.

And I was home.

End.

I would like to thank all of you who stuck with me from the beginning! You guys helped me with this story and I hope you had as much fun with this as I did! This is the final Warrior cats story I will be doing but who knows, if I like the survivors series I might do something with that.

This is Chillygaze the warrior, signing off for the last time. CHOW!
