Walking Alone/Cast Away

Everyone knows the tale of Tigerstar.

I watch, regretfully as clan life goes on. New members greet me.

I am known as the elder. One of the oldest, I am. But my fighting skills are sharper than ever.

I just tried to love. That was my only fault. And Ashfur did too.

But where did that make him land? In StarClan.

Maybe I have been bitter too. I lived as a rogue. Why didn't Leafpool get cast away, like me?

I am fading away, sure enough. I am almost invisible. I can only see a faint line of my tortoiseshell fur.

I never thought about my terrible memories of the past. Too painful.

I should have been leader. I should have been Maplestar.

Do you know what my name is?

My name is Mapleshade.
