Black Pelt, White Lie/Ten

 Epilogue/Ashpelt So far, it's been a moon after I was exiled.

Nothing much has happened.

Snowspirit's got a new mate, Brie.*

I'm surprised any she-cat would fall for him, but I guess she did.

Morningdew's expecting my kits soon.

I want to name them Leafkit and Lilykit.

In honor of- well you know who.

That's life for us.

"Hey, Ashpelt." Morningdew walks up to me.

"Hi!" I blush. "Wanna go for a walk?"

"Sure!"

"This time, I'll protect you."

"Ha! I can protect myself."

And we walk off happily, our tails intertwind like proper mates, in a proper forest, in  a proper world.

Everything is the way it should be.

<p style="text-align:center;">Forever.
