the stars glittered in the night sky, dancing gracefully amongst the inky black waves that were ever-churning. downpourrivulet ambled along the moon-dusted dunes of windclan, eyes reflecting each and every one of the glittering stars above. he was traveling somewhere, traveling farther than he had gone in a few long moons. he had a sickness, see. one that had slowly taken its toll on him throughout the past moons—he had slowed considerably, losing energy within a few hours of being awake. he had not the motivation nor the strength to continue his duties, and others had noticed. but tonight, something had changed. he had a determination. just to go a little longer, a little further. to where, he didn’t quite know. he just wanted peace. in his home, his birthplace. but he knew that determination wouldn’t last. his legs finally buckled beneath him, the cooling sand reaching greedily for him. he let out a soft sigh, laying his head down in the sand as if he had been waiting for this moment. his gaze was focused on the stars above. the stars held everything. secrets and laughter and light. he wanted to be up there. perhaps he would see them again. his family, his friends, his love. that thought alone seemed to content him even further. either way, he was glad to have his peace. slowly. slowly his eyes dimmed. they lost their sparkle, their wonderful green. but up above the stars remained. holding everything.
