No! There must be some mistake! The cat looked up from where it crouched by the waters edge, its fur glowing in the moonlight. There is still so much I have to do!

A broad-faced cat with blue-gray fur padded around the pool, her eyes soft with sympathy. Im sorry, she meowed. I know you expected many more moons with your Clanmates before coming to join us.

The crouching cat looked down into the water. The moons reflection trembled like a floating leaf, and the surface of the pool glimmered with starlight cast by the countless shining shapes that lined the hollow. For a moment the only sound was the waterfall that splashed down the steepest part of the rocks. The cats of StarClan waited in watchful silence, as if each one shared the grief of the cat at the waters edge.

You have served your Clan more faithfully than some cats manage in a long lifetime, the blue-furred cat went on. It must seem very unfair that you should have to leave them.

The crouching cat raised luminous eyes to face the starry warrior. Bluestar, I know this isnt your fault. Theres no need to apologize.

Bluestar twitched her tail. Of course there is. You should know how much your Clan owes to you.

All the Clans. A black and white tom with a long tail rose to his paws and padded around the edge of the pool to stand beside Bluestar. StarClan too. None of us would have found our new home without your help. He dipped his head in a gesture of respect, and the starlight on the surface of the pool wavered.

The cat blinked at him. Thank you, Tallstar. Ive made mistakes, but I have always tried to do what I believed to be right.

StarClan asks no more from its warriors. A lean, black tomcat began to pick his way over the moss-covered rocks. If we could change your fate, we would.

But remember, Bluestar warned, not even StarClan can turn aside the paws of destiny, however much we might want to.

The cat at the waters edge nodded. I understand. And I will try to have courage. Can you tell me when

Bluestar shook her head. No. Even we cannot see the future so clearly. But when the time comes, you will know, and we will be waiting for you.

A fourth warrior spirit rose from his place farther up the slope and padded down between the shimmering ranks of StarClan. He was a light-colored tabby with a twisted jaw.

Whenever the Clans tell stories of the great journey, your name will be honored, he promised.

Thank you, Crookedstar, the cat meowed.

All four of the shining warriors gathered around, four who had been Clan leaders when their paws walked the earth.

Know that the strength of StarClan will be with you, Bluestar meowed. We will not leave you to face this alone.

The cat looked up to meet the intense blue gaze. StarClan has always been with me.

You say that, even though your life has been so hard?

Tallstars voice was surprised.

Of course. The cats eyes glimmered in the starlight. I have made good friends in all the Clans. Ive seen kits born and watched elders leave on their final journey to Silverpelt.
