one mistake one misstep and the leader of flurryclan was gone, lost into the currents of the deep river that she once been able to so easily conquer. the river that had been hers- but of course, she knew better. it had never been hers. it had only been waiting for it's moment to take the second to last thing left from this ancient, shattered cat.. her life. as the broken light shining from within dimmed, she could only stop to reflect on it all. this lifetime. this mistake. after all, she should have never been born. much less survived. but she had. and now the world had paid the consquences. it's all her fault, she tells herself. and she closes her eyes for the last time in her life, her last breath slipping out into frenzied billows of bubbles in the current of the stream at last, she who believed herself the blight on Flurryclan had passed. the world would no longer be touched by her paws or would it? after all, there's no knowing what will come. her final messages are there.. they've been prepared for some time. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. [U] = unofficial. [O] = official Olivefable. Somehow, you're one of the first I think of. I can't imagine your pain.. I'm so sorry I had to leave so soon. I love you, dear child- don't you ever forgot that. I left you something to remember me by.. my crocus. A gift from a friend long ago- dear Egretkit, who never really got a chance to spread his own wings. Pray you get the chance they never had. [U] Mischiefpaw. My only living kit of your litter. Stay safe, child. I'm so sorry I had to go, leaving you and your newest siblings.. take care of them, will you? I'll give you my snowdrops.. I found them long ago, with the cat who would have been your father, had he lived. Snowdrops are those flowers to first break through the snow- they're hope, they're the triumph over challenges. I know you can make like the snowdrops- you are strong, child. You can do this. Be a light to the clan in this time of darkness. [U] My godchildren, those under my protection, too. I'm so sorry I couldn't do more for you. That I was such an awful guardian. All I can offer is a apology. My newest litter. My little lights I'm so, so sorry. I thought I had longer.. but death comes for us all. I love you. Your brother, Mischiefpaw, in Flurryclan, will be there for you. You're not alone. I left you each a gift. Wanderlustkit, I trust you with my golden acorns. I am not the first to own them- they were a gift. One day, I'll tell you the story. Shine on, little light. [O] Memorykit. I give you my clovers- dyed blue. Don't ever forget who you are. [O] Mushroomkit, I give you my terracotta shards. Make sure you're always good to those around you- don't make the mistake of thousands. [U] Mimickit. I give you my delphinium, a gift from a long-gone friend. It's yours, dear. Stay strong, child.. don't blame yourself for that which is out of your control. [U] Marvelkit. I give you my flower wrap- that which has been passed down the family for many, many moons- over one hundred. Keep it safe, and with it, yourself. Don't be scared to take risks, but know when to back down. [U] Miragekit. My namesake. I give you my sparrow feather. Let yourself take flight, dear, but don't lose yourself along the way. [O] Eurphoriaflair. I give you my maple leaf- keep it safe. Don't lose yourself, too, in your act and facade, child. If you do, there's no promise you'll ever get it back. [U] Murkypaw, Ephemeralpaw. I'm so sorry. Take care of yourselves, will you? Don't lose yourself on my account. I give you both morning glory flowers.. if you can, please remember me. [U] Willowglade. Furyfierity. Whatever in the name of Starclan your name is. Isn't it strange how.. this far in my life, on the brink of death, I.. no longer hate you? I don't blame your for your mistakes anymore. I feel like I should, but in this delirium, it's hard to care much about anything. So take it with you with the knowledge that you outlived me.. and that you're forgiven, on my part, for your past mistakes. Take it how you will. I give you my other set of golden acorns. I don't know why I do this, but they are yours. I don't care what you think of this choice anymore. [O]
Sorastar. It's strange how much you've grown from that rougish apprentice to this ambitious, driven, and vengful creature. Surely, you too, have once felt lost, child? Did you ever forgot your final question? I didn't. But it's of no use now. Nevertheless. I give you a moonflower from the fields of my clan. Do with it what you wish. I wish you the best in your leadership. [U] Maplestar. It's.. hard for me to believe how much you've grown. Do you tell Delphine's story to make sure Mossclan's redemption is never forgotten? Does anyone else remember still? Or have they forgotten the trails of your clan's past? I pray not. I hope my prediction never comes true. But, all things aside, I give you my yellow tulip. Your cheerful attitude never failed to bring me joy in my darker moments. I wish you the best in your leadership, child. [U] .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. regards to those past My dearest deceased kits. How I love you all. I'll be with you soon.. you won't have to be alone anymore. My family. How I miss you all. My time has come, though, like everyone's, and I'll, at last, soon see you. My parents. I'll see you at last. Does it make you proud to see how far I've come, what I've accomplished? Are you proud of me? I.. don't know. My deceased apprentices. I'm so sorry. I failed you. I only pray you can forgive me. Sweethope, Curiousgaze. My first two deputies. My friends.. I'm so sorry I was too weak to protect you. Reveriecrown. This was my fault.. I should've been strong enough to save you. But still, I thank you.. for teaching me how to know what to trust, what loyalty is. Pigeonstar. I.. have to apologize. For the clan struggling under my reign. For my failure to do as well as you did. I should have been able to manage to stress of everyone I ever dared to care about dying before my eyes, and been able to save them. I should've been able to hunt more. I'm.. I'm so sorry, Pigeonstar. Dovehope. I.. struggle to find words for you. You, who both lit up my life and gave me something to live and breathe for.. but then again, you who trained me as a spy, manipulated me, used me like a tool, played me like any cat. Used my trust against me. But again, that's always been how you worked. Anything you do is always for a reason. I never should've seen you as a mother. It's my own fault, my own stupidity. You must hate me. And I'm sorry you feel it must be that way. Goodbye, Dovehope. Marlinstar. It's strange how I include you in this. I don't know why I do. But your perspective showed me another path, one without Dovehope's influence. And for that I thank you. Fluoritescar. My first mentor. I.. never should've blamed you for leaving. I should've listened to you when you warned me of the snow-white-serpent. But I never could listen, could I? another of my mistakes. I'm so sorry, Flu. I'm so sorry. And last of all.. Rippletide.. my beloved. My dear mate, my love, the light of my life. When you died, the stars went out. The sky went dark. After Dovehope's death, it was you I lived for... and then you were gone. And for some reason, I can't.. I can't remember your face. I don't see you in my dreams. I fear I won't see you in the stars.. that you have faded, merely a whisper of a memory. But I love you still. Goodbye. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. I probably missed someone you guys I'm so sorry. </3 there are so many people who have had such a huge influence on Morning's life that there's no way I could list you all. however, all of your constant support and encouragement was what got me into the roleplay, and I really appreciated the advice I got from some and our character's dynamics in general. You're all incredible people. Thank you so much. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. and at last, the story ends.
