Forgotten Souls

What happens to those who are forgotten?

What happens when they earn their peace, and leave StarClan?

Do they fade into nothingness, or move on to somewhere else?

Chapter 1- Time to Leave
The sun was shining in StarClan territory, as it always did. The light danced across the ribbons of water tumbling over the edge of the waterfall. Silverstream spotted Feathertail dozing on a boulder, the spray from the waterfall leaving shining drops of water on her pelt. Silverstream padded over and lept onto the rock. "Feathertail, wake up!" Silverstream nudged Feathertail, trying to awake her. However, her paw seemed to have no effect. She paused for a moment. She jabbed Feathertail, but no evidence was left that her paw did anything. Suddenly, Feathertail woke up, stretched, and stood up. "Oh, good, you're awake." Feathertail didn't respond. "Feathertail, answer me!" Silverstream said in a panicked voice. Feathertail lept off the boulder and walked away, completely unawate that Silverstream was watching her. Silverstream could only gaze after her in horror.

This can't be happening.

Silverstream raced across the field, looking for another cat. She spotted Graystripe stalking a squirrel. She ran up to him. "Graystripe!" He didn't answer. The squirrel didn't run away either.

Am I even here?

The question echoed in her mind as she ran further, stopping to ask cats if they could see her, only to be ignored. Until she came to one cat that she didn't recognize.

He was a black cat, save one silvery paw that glistened in the sun. Silverstream skidded to a halt in front of him. "Who.. who are you?"

The cat dipped his head. "I no longer have a name. I am forgotten." He looked up at her. "Kind of like you."

Silverstream took a step back. "Wait, you mean- You can see me?" He nodded.

"But nobody here can see you. Or me, more importantly." He took a step towards her. "You have been forgotten by the cats on the ground. Your memory has faded away to nothing. Your only two descendants are dead."

"So why can't anybody here see me? Not even my mate, or my children? Surely they remember me!" She swept her tail across the ground, indicating the cats casually walking around, talking to each other around them.

"Since you are forgotten, you have earned your peace."

"Where do I go from here?"

"Come with me." With that, he touched her flank with his silvery paw, and the world around them turned into a blurry haze, except for the two cats. Silverstream saw him give her an comforting smile, then the two appeared in a new forest.
