Fernstar felt her muzzle tug into a weak smile. She decided to speak with each cat she needed to individually, with the breath that was very quickly running out. Beginning with Sorrelpaw, she began. "I-I'm sorry, but I c.. Cannot. I will w-watch you from the.. Stars. You are a.. Fine young cat, S-Sorrelpaw." She finished, taking a moment to retrieve some air before continuing. "Threeleg, you were like.. A son to me. I watched you.. Grow, f-from the moment you were b-born. I knew you would do.. Great things for this Clan, and please continue to do so. M-Me and.. Snakemint.. Will continue to w-watch over you." The leader again caught her breath before looking to Blueheart. The words were getting quieter and shakier with each one she spoke. "B-Blueheart. My deputy.. I c-couldn't have been more proud of y-you," Fernstar paused slightly as she put her head down, exhaustion making it virtually impossible to keep it up. "Y-You did perfect.. As my deputy.. And I know you will lead th-this Clan and h-help it grow. T-Times have been... Hard these p-past few moons, but I know you will keep m-my Clan strong. I w-will... Watch over you, a-and everyone. I w-will be there to guide each of your... Pawsteps and I will h-help in any way I can. I couldn't have been prouder of any of y-you, and you are all f-fine cats." And last but not least, the exhausted leader addressed Darkpelt. "Darkpelt, thank you for b-bringing me back here... And allowing m-me to speak with my C-Clan for the l-last t-time." The grey tabby's flank heaved a few more times as she thought about the countless times her Clan had helped her. "Th-Thank you... All of y...you..." Then Fernstar's pelt heaved for the last time, and she passed on her way to the stars.

Threeleg stared into the leader's fern-green eyes as she spoke to him. Tears fell from his eyes as the leader's voice shook with every word. The tom had never seen her so weak. "F-Fernstar please.." He buried his face into her fur as she continued to talk with the other cats. Once she was finished, he looked back into her dull eyes. "Fernstar, no. Please hold on! Th-This isn't fair!" The medicine cat wailed like a helpless kit as he watched his leader's last life pass before his eyes. "Please don't do this! Don't!" Threeleg unsheathed his claws and dug them into the ground as his leader's last life left her body.

The pregnant queen made her way over to the leader as quickly as possible with her large belly, standing beside Blueheart as the leader spoke with her most treasured cats in turn. "F-Fernstar.." Juniperfrost began, sitting down as tears gathered in her eyes. It was all too sudden, CloverClan had gone through too much. The death of their beloved leader would damage them for seasons to come. Grief stabbed at her heart as she saw the pain in Threeleg's eyes. She had never seen the medicine cat look so broken, not since Snakemint's death. "Sh-She was such a great cat.."

Sparrowpaw allowed the tears to fall as he fell down to lie beside the leader. He shuffled himself closer to Berrypaw and pressed his fur against hers to comfort her as he stared at Fernstar's limp body. "Tell Bramblewhisker I said hi." He whispered quietly as he pushed his nose into the dead she cat's fur, his tail entwining with Berrypaw's in an attempt to keep her calm.

As Darkcloud headed to leave, he turned back to Rosedust. "We will need to work hard if we are to gain the trust of some of Fernstar's warriors. They have every right to be cautious, but we need to show them that we are thankful for everything they have done for us."

The fae turned her head to Daisytoes and dipped her head in greeting. "I'm Morningdawn. I was a warrior in the Clan who passed away a while before you joined the Clan. You may know me as Sparrowpaw's mother." Morningdawn introduced herself, turning back to Nightlight. "Blueheart is a strong young cat, he will lead the Clan well even without Fernstar's help." She reassured the other StarClan cat before turning to Daisytoes. "Is Sparrowpaw alright? He was very shaken by Bramblewhisker's death." The she cat asked, concerned for her son. Although she left out the part about the Pinepaw and Berrypaw mix-up. Despite the fact Nightlight knew about all that, Morningdawn knew for a fact Daisytoes didn't.
ＯＯＣ
{I wasn't happy with the coding I had for version two before so I have started it again. It should be ready in time though, so I wouldn't worry about it. I would like to tell you all that in version two Fernstar will still be used as a StarClan cat who often visits her Clan, but she won't be used all the time. I'm also planning on using Morningdawn a lot more in version two, so I might make up a quick form for her and put it on my forms post on the discussion thread.}
