Hello young warrior. Are you new to StarClan? I'm Mossheart. I doubt you would have head of me. My time in StarClan is short. Let me tell you my story, before I fade away completely, and it is gone forever...
Prologue
I had been sent on a hunting patrol with my sister, Birdsong. The clan needed Fresh-kill more than ever now. It was the harshest Leaf-Bare anyone could remember, even the elders. As a new warrior of the clan, I was determined to bring enough prey back for the clan, no matter what. I was chasing a rabbit. It was a fat one and it would feed all of ThunderClan. I raced through the forest with Birdsong trailing along behind me. Fresh snow was falling from the sky, and it was making it harder to see the rabbit. I just had to catch it. Determination to catch this rabbit kept me moving forward dispite the cold, and I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Only the rabbit mattered. The rabbit was racing across the Thunderpath. This was my last chance. I leaped into the air and I felt the hard Thunderpath under me and the soft fur of the rabbit under my paws. It must be an escaped twoleg pet to be so fat. I sunk my teeth into the neck of the rabbit, killing it cleanly and quickly. I felt proud as I carried the rabbit towards Birdsong, who was fearfully staring at me. "Watch out!" She yowled. I spun around to see a monster hurtling towards me. It's bright pelt was dirty and It's eyes glowed sinisterly. I tosseed the rabbit to Birdsong, Knowing that I couldn't escape and thinking that the clan shouldn't lose the food it despratly needed. Heartbeats later I felt pian as the monster's big paws pounced on me. I heard Birdsong yowl with grief and gave in to the darkness that fell over me like a wave.
Chapter 1
I woke up to see a ginger tom nudging me up. "Flamepaw!" I meowed with suprise. He was my brother who died of greencough as an apprentice. I still felt the Thunderpath beneath my feet and saw my tabby body lying a few foxlenths away. Greif filled Birdsong's amber eyes as she picked up my body from the Thunderpath. "I-I'm dead..." I meowed. Flamepaw nodded sadly. It was too cruel. Birdsong shouldn't have to lose Flamepaw and me. "Birdsong, No!" I yowled. Flamepaw rested his tail on my shoulder. "Come on, we have to go back to StarClan, before anything else comes to get you." He meowed. "Anything else?" I meowed confused. "You'll see, eventually. Right now we have to worry about geting you to StarClan's hunting grounds." Something seemed to be worrying him, so I agreed and followed him up into the stars, knowing we could talk more there.
StarClan was an amazing place. I felt the Greenleaf warmth that I hadn't felt in moons. I heard prey rustling in the bracken and was anxious to fill my empty belly. I saw cats I knew who had already died, my father, Foxfang who had died when I was just a kit, The old deputy, Larkfeather and Fuzzykit, who had died in the same bought of Greencough that killed Flamepaw. They all crowded around to greet me, along with others I had never met, but had only heard in nursery tales, like Greenpelt, Flarewish and Thrushwing. Suddenly, A powerful looking Ginger tom strode forward. "Greetings. I am Thunder." He meowed. I dipped my head in greeting. It was so hard to believe I would spend forever getting to know these cats, in the most perfect forest I had ever been in. That was before I heard about fading away, And I didn't for a long time, just like I remained ignorant about other things most other cats knew.
Chapter 2
I was walking through the forest in StarClan. I had been in StarClan for two seasons now. Suddenly, I heard a cat whispering through the trees. I followed the voice until I reached a clearing. In the middle of the clearing sat an old tabby tom. He wasn't like any other cat I'd seen before. Yes, he had stars in his pelt, yes, He was from StarClan, but I could see right through him! "Who are you!" I meowed. "I am Sparrowtalon. I used to be a SkyClan cat, But no cat remembers me any more, so I am fading away." He meowed. He spoke with a rasping voice. "Cats fade away?" I meowed, shocked. "I thought cats lived here forever!" Sparrowtalon let out a wheezing laugh. "No, Cats fade away, eventually. I am spending my last days staring into the future, and Trying to see what will become of the clans, before I am gone forever."
