Description

SPOILER ALERT I REPEAT SPOLIER ALERT YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

"Firestar!" Sandstorm's yowl sounded above the thrumming of the rain. She raced toward the place Tigerstar had fallen. A body was lying on the ground. Dovewing frowned. Tigerstar had disappered, right? Why was there still a huddled shape on the bloodstained
grass?
No!
She pelted after Sandstorm. Hecan't be dead!
She skidded to a halt and stared in horror at Firestar's body.
Sandstorm buried her nose deep intointo her mate's sodden fur. "I told you not to waste your final life," she whispered.
Brambleclaw crossed the clearing rain
streaming from his whiskers, and stood beside
her."He didn't waste it."
"Fire will save the Clan," Leafpool whispered.
Graystripe pused past Tigerheart and Whitestorm and crouched beside his old friend.
"I would have taken your place, if you had let me." His voice horse with grief.
"Firestar!" Dustpelt called softly. "When you see her, tell Ferncloud I love her."
Purdy nosed past him. "Is he dead?"
"Yes." Bumblestripe wrapped his tail gently over the elder's back.
Tigerheart's ear twitched "It was his last life?"
"Yes."Dovwing nodded, toward Boulderfur and Troutstream, who lingered uncertainl near the entrance with their patrols. "It's time for you to go home. The battle is won and I need to be with my Clanmates." And yetit feels as if everything has been lost. She drew in a breath, then slid quitely in beside Bumblestripe.
Rain dripped into her eyes and she blinked it away. Bumblestripe shifted so that his pelt rested warmly against her. Dovewing felt his breath against her ear.
"You're safe now," he murmered.
She leaned her head on his shoulder. "I know." She didn't look around as she heard Tigerheart pad away.
Brambleclaw lifted his muzzle. "The battle is over. Our victory belongs to Firestar!"
The rain eased as he spoke and a shaft of moonlight sliced through the clouds and lit up the unmoving orange body. There was a faint noise at the camp enterance and Dovewing looked up to see a StarClan warrior glimmering beneath the ragged throns, her blue eyes glowing like circles of sky.
"Bluestar?" Brambleclaw beckoned to her with his tail. With a nod, Bluestar stepped out from the shadows and walked across the clearing. A russet tom followed, his pelt glittering with stars. A silver she-cat padded after; a mottled gray tabby sparkled at her side. A black-and-white tom padded at the back, with Yellowfang tagging on behind.
As the Clan parted to let the cats pass, Runningwing and Lionheart slipped out to join their starry Clanmates. Dovewing blinked up at the walls of the hollow. They rippled with light from StarClan pelts. The scent of wet stone, sharp and cold, bathed her tongue. Is this what starlight taste like?
Jayfeather stepped forward as they circled Firestar's body. "These cats gave my Grandfather (Firestar) his nine lives," he explained to the Clan.
"My Great-Grandfather (Redtail)"-he nodded to the russet warrior- "gave a life for courage. Silverstream gave a life for loyalty."
Graystripe got to his paws and stared at the beauitful she-cat. "Silverstream!"
She gazed back at him, her blue eyes filled with longing.
"I'll be waiting," she whispered.
"My Great-Grandmother (Brindleface)."Jayfeather dipped his head to the mottled gray tabby. "The life you gave was for protection and Swiftpaw"-his blind blue gaze drifted to the small black-and-white tom- "yours was for mentoring."
Blambleclaw nodded. "Firestar was the best mentor I could have had."
"Yellowfang gave compassion, Lionheart gave courage, and Runningwind gave tireless engery, which he used to serve his Clanmates through all his lives."
As Jayfeather paused, Bluestar stepped forward,her paws touching Firestar's pelt.
"Spottedleaf isn't in StarClan anymore." Grief thickened her mew. "But she gave Firestar a life for love."
A sob shook Sandstorm's shoulders.
Bluestar went on. "I gave him a life for nobility, though he was born with more nobility than any warrior I ever knew." Her blue eyes glazed with sorrow. "I knew that Firestar would save rge Clan many moons ago. As fire in theoldest prophecy, he succeeded. He leaves ThunderClan in the paws of a new leader." She looked at Brambleclaw. "If you have half the courage and loyalty of Firestar, you will be a fine leader for ThunderClan."
As she spoke the StarClan cats drew closer around Firestar's body. Touching pelts, they gazed down. A shadow stirred over the orange shape.
Dovewing gasped. Pale as moonlight graceful as wind , Firestar stood up.
"His spirit is leaving," Jayfeather murmured.
Firestar's gaze swept slowly over his Clan. Dovewing swallowed as it reached her, then relaxed. It felt warm like sunshine.
"It's time to go," Bluestar breathed.
Firestar dipped his head to Brambleclaw, then leaned down and touched his muzzle to Sandstorm's. She stared up at him. her eyes glistening with grief as he turned and followed the the StarClan cats out of the hollow. Dovewing jerked her head around as a black pelt moved at the edge of her vision. Hollyleaf's spirit was padding after them.
"Look!" Sorreltail gasped.
Mousefur's spirit leaped up from herbody and bounded like a kit across the clearing. Purdy whisked his tail. "She'll get all the hunting she wants now."
"Ferncloud's awake!" Amberkit squeaked from the nursery.
Ferncloud's spirit rose and padded after Mousefur. She paused at the thorn barrier and turned, dipping her head to Dustpelt, then disappered after the others. Dovewing stared at the gap in the brambles, her chest aching.
Sandstorm stood up "Bramblestar!"
"Bramblestar!" Lionblaze lifted his muzzle to the clearing sky.
The Clan joined in. "Bramblestar! Bramblestar!"
