Docstar stood stock still, watching the mountains emerge from the ground. The wind blew about his paws and he shivered. He'd said goodbye to his mate and was now about to make that terrible journey back to his old home. He did not know why or how he was going to do it , but something in his mind pulled him toward his old home. He longed to tread through the lush green ferns of Starlightclan pf which he had been an unimportant apprentice or the soft sands of SunClan to which he'd been leader. He knew once he had made the journey his dreams would be shattered, when he'd last seen his old home it had been alight with flames and the yowls of dying cats had filled his ears. He and Featherwind had managed to get Stream (Now Streamsilk), Tinykit (now Bravestar), dear old Blackshadow who he missed, Rainbowmist and his dear mother out of the dangerous flames which burnt their pelts. He knew the ground would be burnt and he would never see his old home in it's old glory again. The innocence in his life had been shattered when PurityClan attack MidnightClan. It was soon after that when he'd met Mapledance...oh his dear Mapledance! Then Maplepaw they had been so innocent; they'd fallen in love and when his clan had been attacked and destroyed they'd fled to the mountains together. Sometimes they'd visited the fortress which had held happy memories. The happiest of which was the last time they had spent there together. She'd become pregnant and all had been well, he'd met Bluenight and Rosepetal for th first time.
Then his life had shattered around him, Maplepaw (Or Mapledance as she was still to become) had gone into labor early, He recalled his panic as she became weaker and weaker. Three kits had survived; he recalled watching the light die from his love's eyes then StarClan appear before him. He'd been named Docleaf and his dear mate had been called Mapledance. He'd begged them to reconsider and had thought there was no other choice. He'd named the kits Pinekit, Snowkit and Maplekit...she'd been so much like her mother.
Docstar dug his claws into the ground as the memories blinded him with tears. She could've stayed; she herself had told him that and his heart twisted in agony as he thought of the pain in her voice. The kit's had been nursed by Cometfire until he'd gone to SunClan. He made friends with Falconstar and his mate...Featherwind. He had been made deputy, to his horror. He then noticed Featherwind had been expecting Falconstar's kits. Falconstar died in battle and he and Featherwind had headed for the hills along with the other Cats that had been picked for the prophecy. That had been a sad time for time, at the start, filled with uncertainty for his kit's lives. He knew now they were properly dead. He and Featherwind had fallen in love and he would protect her with her life. When her kits had been born on the journey Docstar had been like a father to them. Then the cougar attack and all the kits were killed.
When the prophecy had been fulfilled they'd gone back to their old home as broken souls and had seen their journey had been in vain.
Docstar's thoughts circled round and round and he shook his head to clear his thoughts He had to be sure his old friends were dead.
"Don't go"
He turned around to see a golden figure, she looked as young and strong as when he'd last seen her. Lifestream.
"This journey will cause you pain"
Docstar growled at her "I'm going, and that's all thee is to it lifestream...and if you see Mapledance, tell her I still love her." and with that he put his head down and headed over the mountains...to his old home.
