*This wasn’t supposed to happen…* Krakenvirtue sat by a pool of clear, cool waters. The wind blew softly through his short fur, calm, quiet, peaceful. Staring back at him from the ripples was himself, but himself was now a face he hardly knew. A cat with stars dusting his pelt and fins. A cat who had left the living clans and joined the heavens. A cat who was dead. 15 moons. He was *only* 15 moons old when it happened. It was all so sudden, how could he have seen it coming? The random restricting pains and harsh breathing troubles, the weakness that plagued him his whole life.. Was that nothing but cruel foreshadowing? A prelude to what was to eventually come? Was there nothing that could be done? Well, what was done was done now. What was over was over. A life that he spent the majority of in the medicine den, sleeping away because he was too tired, his breathing was too bad, his chest hurt too much, his limbs felt too weak to do anything else. He knew he should be grateful, that he at least reached starclan with a warrior name, and that there were kits and apprentices here who’s lives were cut far shorter than his.. But for once in his life, a life where he tired his so so very hardest to stay positive, optimistic.. He couldn’t help but to feel hopeless. Sure, he was happy to see his father and sister again. Even if he was never particularly close with wither Seajellyfish or Twilightabyss, he loved them, and he had missed them greatly… But Luminescentgleam… Oh Lumi… His dear big brother, he already missed him so bad. What he would give to be able to go back to when they were kits, playing in the nursery or when they were apprentices, swimming together in the sea, finding hermit crabs on the beach.. *Drip. Drip drop.* Krakenvirtue hadn’t even realized he had begun crying until the tears slipped down his muzzle, landing into the pool of water. His shoulders shook, his lower lip trembled as he took a shaky inhale, curling up on the soft dew-misted grass. This was so unfair. So, so incredibly unfair. What was he supposed to do now? How do you enjoy the ‘after’ to a life you never got to truly live?
