Frozentail grinned, finally he was a warrior! He cheered happily, but then caught himself, beginning his vigil now.
Dewdrop padded into the crowd, tail drooping. She had lost her only friend Fearowstar, she had no mate or kits, and she didn't ever talk much. Her apprentice, now Frozentail, had noticed her depression, but he was too polite do anything. She sighed, looking around. Fearowstar wouldn't want me to be sad...
Allurepaw tumbled to her mentor happily, touching noses.
Cemetarypaw padded to his leader eagerly, touching noses as well.

Swanwing smiled at the kits. She looked at them with love, but nonetheless, she kept feeling worse. She didn't want to frighten Allurekit and Cemetarykit, so she turned back to watch the ceremony.

As Swanwing watched with pleasure, her limbs felt as if they were on fire, and her mind felt as if it froze in place. Her vision started to become fuzzy, and she started screaming in pain. The podwers have taken its effect. It has been in her bloodsystem for far too long, and she coud not be saved. She started screaming louder, in such agony. Part of it was, never seeing these apprentices become warriors in person. She fell heavily on her side, and started wailing. Her limbs were twitching, and she was shaking violently. She looked at Cemetarypaw, Allurepaw, Streampaw, and Sunpaw. "I love you." She mewed so softly, but still audible. Her shaking became more violent, and her sreams became even louder. This time, she started crying, she didn't want to die, but she knew her time was now. "Good bye." She said in the same, soft voice.
OOC: If it is possible, can both Fearowstar, AND Icystrike come to her, since she took care of both of their kits???

Streampaw and sunpaw screamed and ran to swanwing."Swanwing!" They both yowled.
Icystrike came down from the sky, the stars in her pelt shined."Hello swanwing.
Sunpaw was scrying in her older sisters pelt.
Streampaw cried too.

Allurepaw whirled around and screamed in despair. She hastened to her " mother"'s side, but it was too late. She shook her head, sinking into uncontrollable sobs, all happiness of her apprenticeship gone. "No, no, no, no," she repeated hysterically. She cried into Swanwing's pelt, but suddenly she thought she saw her REAL mother standing beside her. She heard Fearowstar's voice in her head. It was her time, my daughter.
Cemetarypaw saw from his good eye that Swanwing was dead. He approached slowly, sadly. As soon as he got there, though, he buried his nose in her fur with increasing terror. "NO!" he yowled. Even though she hadn't been his real mother, he loved her as much as he had Fearowstar. He heard his mother's voice carry through his mind. My son, don't cry...
Dewdrop watched in horror as the cat died before her eyes. She was at a loss for words.
Frozentail looked on in sorrow.

Icystrike turned and there appeared another she-cat.
Streampaw and sunpaw were crying as hard as they could. They also heard icystrike's voice...do not cry my daughters, swanwing is in the paw of dreamclan, and you must begin your training to become warrior and medicine cats of iceclan.

Fearowstar walked silently to Swanwing her paws making not a sound on the frozen snow. "Are you ready to join us, Swanwing?" she asked, "You may have joined IceClan after my death, but I'm sure IceClan will miss you dearly. I know a lot about you, Swanwing. I've been watching you - you nursed my kits when I joined DreamClan, and I thank you for that."

Icystrike smiled."And i thank you for keeping my secret and taking care of my kits too. You will be able to watch the one's you love from the skys."

Swanwing was confused for a second. She could see everything below her. Now, it was clear to her. She realized she was dead; she hadn't noticed completely because the ones she loved were grieving. What a good time to die. She thought bitterly. She turned and faced the DreamClan cats. One was Icystrike, her dear friend. Her heart swelled with ahppines, and the other one, she didn't know at first, but now knew that it was Fearowstar. "I have loved these kits so much." She whispered in such agony. "I wanted to watch them grow up, and become warriors, or anything that the clan can be proud of. I still can, it just won't be the same." She looked back down toward the kits. Then back to their birth mothers. "They have lost a second mother," This time, her voice was cracking. "They have had to suffer so much. I don't want to watch them suffer anymore." A fierce determination came into her eyes. "Until they join DreamClan, I will make sure that I can do anything in my power to protect them. They will have to learn on their own, but I will do anything to make sure that they don't join DreamClan for many seasons." She took a deep breath. "I am ready."

"DreamClan don't interfere with the lives of the cats below," Fearowstar warned, then changed tone, "But between you and me, even I help some of the warriors at hunting from time to time."

Icystrike almost laughed."I didn't expect you did that fearowstar, but i even come to my dear nightsplash to tell him to move on. I try and help him feel calm. I'am still new at this, so i don't know that much, but i do know many other things. I interfered when my kits almost died and made them hold on.I also thank you swanwing for keeping them warm in that cold storm. " Icystrike started walking towards the sky."Come swanwing it's time to meet the other dreamclan cats."

Swanwing nodded sadly. "Just a moment," Her voice cracked again. "I want to say goodbye." She turned and said, so they could hear it in the wind, "Goodbye. We will see each toher again, but today isn't the day. You will have to wait for many more seasons to come. I love you." She turned her head and followed Fearowstar and Icystrike.

Silentword awaited the three of them in DreamClan, feeling bad that the apprentices had to lose the same cat who'd fostered them when their mothers died.
