Sagestar
Mistakes were made. - Talking to Minkstar of Cherryclan

''A terribly long time...I can barely remember how I died.'' Sagestar replied, turning to Minkstar. The pale grey tom knew that he wasn't as vibrant as a spirit as he'd been in the past, that his whiskers were slowly turning into stardust and that his tail-tip was misting away into nothing but the cool night air. Sagestar was kept significantly more vibrant than others because of Fritillarystar's reverentation of him but lately the tortoiseshell had been drifting away from him; far too busy to constantly worship him the way she had in the beginning. But he was luckier than others; Pebbleclaw was almost invisible by now as was poor little Mudpaw, it was heart-breaking and when the time came for them both, Sagestar was going to miss them terribly.

At least they'd return as newly born cats, allowed to start new lives somewhere far away. This warmed his heart a little, the thought of the two having happier lives than they'd lead in Tumbleclan; maybe Mudpaw actually reaching adulthood and Pebbleclaw making a little bit more of a mark on life. ''What about you?'' Sagestar asked, looking up at him. ''And have you seen any other Starclanners? It's awfully lonely around here.''

Starclan's camp was nothing like the closeness of Tumbleclan's; everyone was surrounded by everyone almost constantly and it was difficult to find some time to be alone, no matter how hard you searched. A pang of misery rose in him and Sagestar had to compose himself to stop a cry rising out of his throat; such emotion would get him nowhere. ''And who are they? I fear that I may know them.'' Right off the bat came Ravestar; or Ravencoat, he'd never liked that tom. Or maybe even Robinstar, his tiny wee crush on that flamboyant tom.

Dawnstorm winced with pain. Forestclan's river had never overflowed to such an extend, and it was far enough from the camp that even if a flood occurred, the camp would be safe. For a brief moment, his heart gave a pang of regret. He should have learned to swim. He and Snowfoot could have splashed around in the river. He should have learned to fish. Acornstream would likely have been delighted to teach him. He should have done so many things but couldn't now that he was dead. Dead.

"I think I actually have heard of Mapleclan," said Dawnstorm thoughtfully. "Doesn't it border Forestclan?" He gave Stonestar a querying look.

Grayfur | molly | tags: Sagepaw (Mapleclan)
Grayfur laughed with mild embarrassment. She should have remembered earlier. But then, the borders were taught to the younger warriors and apprentices, not to the elders. "Our clanmates should meet each other more often," she said. "And of course, Forestclan has experienced death. Unless we're still alive miraculously."

Minkstar | tom | tags: Sagestar (Tumbleclan)
Minkstar's eyes softened with pity. While he had heard that many Starclan cats faded with time, he certainly hadn't. Perhaps he was simply lucky or there was a fluke. Or maybe the beliefs of different clans influenced their spirits. It was certainly an uncomfortable thought; how would he ever be sure that he was truly the same leader he had been in life? But second-guessing himself never worked.

"I died of old age," said Minkstar bluntly. "I had a few kits with a clowder molly and I know I had grandkits and those after them, and Honeystar is certainly my descendant. Why else would she have settled in my clan's former territory? But," abd here he shook his head, "I haven't seen anyone around Starclan. Who knows?" he joked. "Maybe everyone's been too scared of me to show their faces. But I don't look that scary, do I? Some of the apprentices Forestclan brings keep looking like they've seen a ghost when they speak to me." He paused. "But I'll keep a lookout for other Tumbleclan and Moorclan cats, if you'd like."

The dark tabby tom could be seen gazing down toward his former camp. He had not been a member of StarClan long enough to be able to let go of the longing for his previous life. Every so often, when observing the goings-on in LeafClan, he would shake his head slightly, almost numbly, as his mate once again made a foolish mistake, endangering the Clan. Frigidrose was getting ever closer to accomplishing her goal, and even though Webfang would no longer be affected by it, it frightened him. How had he been so blind to it? Finally the warrior retreated from the area. He was lonely; none of his Clan-mates were in sight. Shadekit and Featherpaw had at first been eager to comfort him and Snowstep, show them around, keep them company, but then the newness wore off. The tabby sat down, wiped a paw over his face a couple times, and glanced around, searching for sign of anyone.

xxxa sad smile appeared on sagepaw's face. "i'm pretty sure we're dead, unfortunately for my mother." the young tom let silence settle between them for a few seconds before switching topics. "speaking of your clan-mates, are some of them around here? it'd be fun to meet them."

"That's fine," assured Dawnstorm. "I don't know much about Mapleclan either." He paused, wondering what to say next. "Have you seen anybody else up here?" he asked. "You're the first Starclan cat I've seen who isn't from Forestclan."

Grayfur | molly | tags: Sagepaw (Mapleclan)
Grayfur returned the sad smile. "Well," she said in response, "Minkstar, formerly of Cherryclan and Honeystar's ancestor, is somewhere. He really likes to wander. Not that I can blame him. From what he's said, he's been up here for more seasons than I've been alive. And I lived for a long time." Something tickled her nose and she gave a small sneeze before continuing. "Dawnstorm--he died at the same time as me--is also here somewhere. He has quite the family. And according to him, met Honeystar by falling on her head while she was returning from the Moonpool." She chuckled. "He was never that agile. Not like his two brothers, Dandeliontail and Daisywhisker."

Sagestar
Mistakes were made. - Talking to Minkstar of Cherryclan


Sagestar shook his head. ''Sounds like you lived a fitful life; certainly more so than mine.'' The grey tom sighed sagely, turning his gaze back down on the tiny little moss-strewn house; admiring how it squatted bravely against the howling blizzard, yielding not to the harsh frost but sheltering the tiny souls that hid within it's four walls. ''And I'd rather you didn't; I'd hope that nobody else I cared for died.'' The grey tom smiled politely at him. ''But if you do find one, please tell me.'' And with a shaky sigh, Sagestar got to his paws. ''It was nice talking to you.''

She chuckled. "He was never that agile. Not like his two brothers, Dandeliontail and Daisywhisker."

Minkstar | tom | tags: Sagestar (Tumbleclan)
Minkstar also got to his paws, acknowledging the fact that the conversation was likely over. He could understand Sagestar's sentiment; it would be hard, very hard, if he found any of his former clanmates wandering Starclan. That is, if he even recognized them.

"It was pleasant talking to you too," Minkstar said with a small smile. "Come seek me out another time. It gets lonely around here." And with that, he padded away through the misty fields.

| Squirrelstar | Former Leader | Molly |

Squirrelstar wandered curiously through the thick and sturdy trees, her jaws parted in a silent awe-filled gasp. "Is this really Starclan?" She whispered to herself.

"Yes, Squirrelstar." A deep voiced mewed behind her. Squirrelstar froze, her tail quivering in excitement as she recognized the voice.
The light ginger she-cat whirled around, tears of joy in her eyes when she saw the silver spotted tom who had been the first to join Echoclan many moons ago.

"Dapplewing!" She cried, pouncing on her friend, covering him in licks. Dapplewing smiled happily, curling his tail around her and snuggling her close to his chest. Squirrelstar closed her eyes, drawing in the familiar, herb-filled scent that Dapplewing carried. "You know about Hurricanejaw, right?" She asked when she pulled away. Dapplewing nodded sadly.

"Hurricanejaw has become a fine warrior." Pride sparked in the tom's eyes as he spoke his son's name. "I know everything that has happened in Echoclan, I've watched over all of you so no need to speak of it right now. We have plenty of time later. But there is someone you should meet." Dapplewing turned his head to look over his shoulder. "You can come out now."

A tiny, mottled grey head popped out of the bushes, watching Squirrelstar with wide eyes. "Mottledkit." Squirrelstar gasped, tears welling in her eyes at the sight of her son who had never lived long enough to breathe air. Mottledkit hopped up to his mother,
winding around her legs. Squirrelstar leaned down, nuzzling her son.

"We're all here." Dapplewing mewed. Moments later, Rosie slipped out of the undergrowth. Squirrelstar almost didn't recognize the first elder to join Echoclan since the she-cat had been blind and her fur had been matted during her time there. This Rosie, however, was clearly from the prime of her life. Her long tabby, white and ginger pelt and her bright red tail was groomed neatly,
and her once milky eyes were now bright yellow. The elder smiled a greeting at Squirrelstar before sitting next to Simon and a cream tom who was batting lazily at a butterfly. Barleyfur.

Brightclover, Shadepool, Shrewtail and Poppypounce bounded out of the undergrowth, all laughing happily. Squirrelstar eyed the she-cat's behind Brightclover, pleased that they no longer had the piercing pains in their body that had ultimately killed them.
Talonkit was trotting behind Brightclover, chasing her tail.

"Squirrelstar." Smokespeck stepped out from behind the she-cat's, smiling fondly at her. "It's been so long." He mewed, touching his nose to hers. Squirrelstar smiled at her former deputy, who had also died from the Red Plague like Shrewtail and Poppypounce.
Smokespeck paused, glaring at Dapplewing for a moment before smiling back down at Squirrelstar. Squirrelstar stiffened, remembering that the two toms had been mates with Mossvine during their time in Echoclan.

"It's so good to see you all again." Squirrelstar mewed happily.

xxxstonestar paused, trying to ruffle his memory. "i believe you are the first cat i have seen from another clan. we, the ancestors of mapleclan, have only spoken to our descendants. it is pleasing to speak to other clans' deceased, though."

xxxsagepaw nodded slowly. mapleclan had suffered through so many deaths because of littlestep. "cool! in mapleclan's area, there's also some brookclan cats, like stonestar. they were the first clan to settle in our territory. ever heard of them?" the apprentice paused, then shook his head before receiving an answer. "probably not. they've been gone for quite a lot of moons. they were also quiet at gatherings, so i'd be surprised if someone remembered them."

Dawnstorm sighed. Oh well. "I haven't been here very long, but I haven't seen anyone from a different clan--other than you, of course," he said. "Say, have you hunted here before? I haven't tried. Is there any prey?" He was truly curious if Starclan held prey like the living world, and if he would be able to eat. He wasn't hungry or thirsty--yet--and wondered if he ever would be.

Grayfur | molly | tags: Sagepaw (Mapleclan)
Grayfur's tail twitched as she thought for a few moments, before she shook her head. "No," she said. "Brookclan's name is unknown to me. It must have been before Honeystar's time." She cocked her head. "How did an apprentice like you end up in Starclan? If it would make you feel any better, a badger killed me. In life, I was blind and though I fought, couldn't get out of its way in time." It was strange how calmly she could state the facts of her death. But it had been some time and she had accepted her death fairly well. Her only regret was being unable to talk to Forestclan's kits, although she would certainly try to appear in their dreams and tell them more of her stories.
