Notes: While this is repetitive, it's supposed to be, so...enjoy!

She watched from above as he mourned her.

She watched from above as he left his Clan for hers, for the sake of their kits.

She watched from above as he patrolled the forest border, homesick and lonely, but not daring to return.

She watched from above as he had to choose between old friends and new loyalty, and fell to the first.

She watched from above, heart heavy, as he was rejected and scorned by the Clan of his birth, and separated from their kits.

She watched from above as he regained the trust of his Clanmates, and rejoiced when he rescued their kits from tyranny.

She watched from above as the Clans drove out a great evil, and he was separated from their kits once more.

She watched from above as peace flourished, and he received a role of great importance. The Clan trusted and loved him now, and while she missed him, she was glad he was happy.

She watched from above as a new terror arrived in the forest, a terror that could uproot trees and destroy moons of traditions. In horror, she watched as their kits, now grown warriors, journeyed far to save the Clans, and how one perished, and the other left his heart behind.

She watched from above, alongside her daughter, as he and her son mourned again.

She watched from above as the terror claimed him... and he had to be left behind.

She traveled far, with her daughter leading StarClan and her son among the leaders of the living, leaving him behind as well, her traitorous paws marching onward, though her heart yearned to stay back and search for him.

She watched from above as her son, her last connection to the living Clans, found his heart again and broke away from the Clans. But she was a cat of forest, not mountains, and while her daughter stayed among the snow-capped peaks, she continued onward.

She watched from above as moons passed and his sweet, stubborn friend refused to replace him. But at last danger threatened, and another of the first journeyers was appointed.

She watched from above as time sped by, the seasons changing. Cats grew old and died; new kits were born. She began to give up hope that he would ever return, until...

The StarClan cats had a pleasing habit of watching the Gatherings. They were not all-knowing, and eavesdropping on business that didn't concern you was generally frowned upon, even in the stars, so the Gatherings were as good a source of information as any. She was lazily watching a Gathering commence, content for the most part, and then a scent on the wind drifted up to her nose.

It was his scent.

He had returned!

She watched from above, joyous, as he reunited with his Clanmates, and purred as he exchanged words with his long-lost friends. But then she froze in horror, for there was a she-cat with him, whom he introduced as a kittypet who had helped him on his journeys...

She watched from above as he returned to camp with his newly regained Clan and was accepted far more quickly than before.

She watched from above as he cared for his new mate, her replacement, and the Clan accepted her as well.

She watched from above as she bore his kits—and how he begged the medicine cats to save her over the kits if the need arose... he truly loved his new mate. Had he ever truly loved her?

She watched from above as the Clans fell into war and disbelief, and were saved again.

She watched from above as tragedy befell him and his new mate, how their kit was horribly injured; and, while horrified, she secretly rejoiced that such a fate had come to the new couple. She hated herself for such morbid thoughts, but could not banish them from her heart... she hated his new mate, she hated her with a passion, but what could she do? She lived in the stars, and he was still breathing and fighting for his Clan... besides, their relationship had been an impossible dream, at heart. He was happy with his new mate, and was not breaking the warrior code in their love.

She watched from above as he betrayed her for someone better, someone she could never match.

She watched from above as he forgot her, and moved on.
