Epilogue

Tigerheart: You've now heard the history of the Messenger Code. Stretch your legs; you've been sitting for a long time. I'll walk with you to the edge of our territory. I could use some fresh air.

Thank you for listening. Perhaps you understand our way of life a little better now. As you've heard, we're not always perfect, but we have a great deal of faith in our Warrior Ancestors. The Code lives in us, in our heartbeat, the blood pulsing beneath our fur. When we die, the Code carries on in our Kits and their Kits, for all moons to come. HeavenClan willing, the Messenger Code will live forever, until the forest and the lake have turned to dust and our hunting grounds are no more.
