(OOC: Rolling effect dice to see if my boi ends up in Starclan since i didn't get to do it for his moonstone Spring was in full swing; bugs and birds spent most of their days flying through the sky and searching for food, and during the night the crickets chirped, and frogs sang a song. Tonight, the silver moon hung high in the sky illuminating the chilly world below. Chirping from crickets was the only sound to be heard; the wind was still and for a moment, time seemed to stop.
The silvery light shined down on a camp, glistening off the dew on the grass. A single ray peered into a den and landed on a beautiful soft, silver pelt that seemed to glow under its soft light. A young tom was curled up tightly with his fluffy tail laying over his face. The den laid still as the rising and falling of the young cat’s chest slowly disappeared.
Sycamorepaw has passed away during his sleep due to a heart condition.
A warm gentle breeze tussled through Sycamorepaw’s pelt, causing him to wake up. His green eyes scanned the area he was in, it was unfamiliar. The young tom sat up and blinked a few times. He could’ve sworn he fell asleep in his den, but it was light out and he was standing in a field of long, luscious grass. His ears swivel, listening for any signs of his clanmates, as he turned his gaze towards the sky. It didn’t look right either… “Am I dreaming?” Sycamorepaw softly mewed, taking a few steps forward.
A large locus flew in front of him to a nearby log, dragging him away from his thoughts. The young cat dropped down into a stalking position and fixed his eyes on his prey. A few moments of play time and then he would figure out where he was… Discord: ChaoticCrow | Timezone: Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) | Code (c) Kieer

"No," A soft voice responded to Sycamorepaw's question. The cat who padded toward the apprentice was a pale lynx point with a lanky frame that was wreathed in starlight. Kind blue eyes regarded the young apprentice for a moment, a quiet sigh escaping the she-cat. Another cat gone much too soon and far before their time, in her opinion.
"My name is Swiftspirit. I joined Windclan when I was a kit, like you. Most of the clan probably doesn't remember me outside of the oldest cats now, but I still watch over the clan... We're in Starclan."

Sycamorepaw Apprentice | Windclan | He/Him
A gentle ‘No’ called out behind Sycamorepaw, making him jump slightly. He turned to face the cat who was now approaching him. “Oh, Hello Swiftspirit! My name is Sycamorepaw.” He mewed with a smile; his goldish green eyes sparkled like the stars around him. His head tilted and smile faded when the molly mentioned Starclan. His clanmates had mentioned it before, but he didn’t really understand what any of it meant.
“Wait so I’m not in Windclan anymore? How did I get here? What do you mean watch over the clan? Why wouldn’t anyone remember you?” His eyes widened as he spoke and his heart raced in his chest, “What the heck is a Starclan? Why have I never met a cat from that clan, not even at the gatherings?” Panic started to set in as his mind when to the worst, the truth. He sat down, looking at the ground and tears started streaming down his face… “I’m dead, aren’t I?” Discord: ChaoticCrow | Timezone: Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) | Code (c) Kieer

Swiftspirit's gaze softened as the apprentice asked question after question. This was not the first time she had guided an apprentice to the stars, and it made her heart ache to see those so young and full of life be taken like this. Their confusion, the realization that sank into their eyes... Death didn't need to happen from battle to be a terrible thing.
"You'll never meet us at gatherings, though we watch over them closely. You probably don't want to see us interfere if the peace is ever broken." A humorless chuckle escaped her as she remembered Shrikestar. It had been a painful conversation, and later when he'd full stepped down from leadership had also been another painful conversation. But necessary. The pale she-cat gave her head a small shake, banishing thoughts of the former leader from her mind.
"Yes, you're dead. I'm sorry." She mewed softly, "It's never easy to see cats taken so young, but that's the way of things sometimes. Even we can't control that or prevent it from happening." Outside of leader lives, anyways. "Bit of a shock to realize, isn't it? You learn to accept it eventually. Being able to watch over them from here helps a bit." Sometimes it was absolutely infuriating... But Swiftspirit liked to think positive.
"Some cats are surprised that someone not clanborn gets into Starclan. But we can believe as strongly as any other cat, you know. And we trained for and helped provide for the same clan, no matter our origins."

Sycamorepaw Apprentice | Starclan | He/Him
Sycamorepaw’s eyes lifted from the ground as the molly in front of him spoke. He remembered Oatfluff talking about gatherings being a time of peace but that cats had broken that peace before, was that what Swiftspirit was talking about now? Then she confirmed that he truly was dead, tears started steaming down his face again. “Y-yeah it-it is. All I remember i-is going to my den and, and sleeping in my nest after sp-spending the day out in the meadow.” His voice broke as he spoke.
Swiftspirit mentioned being able to watch over the clans and a confused look crossed the young tom’s face. “H-how?! I want to know how to watch them!” A new determination flashed in Sycamorepaw’s eyes, as he jumped up, basically shouting at the Starclan cat in front of him. He wanted to watch over his friend Oatfluff and see what was happening in his clan below. Maybe, just maybe that would make this all worth it. Sycamorepaw tried parting the grass and planting his face into the ground to see if he could watch Windclan, Swiftspirit was still talking behind him but he was on a mission.

She nodded at the apprentice, sympathy in her eyes. "Death is rarely something we can predict or expect, and even when it is, that usually doesn't make it hurt any less." He had gone peacefully, at least. Like Dustpaw, unlike so many others - including her own death.
She couldn't help a laugh as the apprentice tried to plant his face into the dirt. "Not like that, silly." Swiftspirit said, whiskers twitching, "Come on, walk with me. Watching them is different than cats who visit the moonstone and get to speak with us, but there's a few ways..." She mewed, waving her tail. "You'll learn, all in due time."

Sycamorepaw Apprentice | Starclan | He/Him
Sycamorepaw brought his face up from the ground as Swiftspirit motioned for him to follow her. The silvery tom’s green eyes shimmered as a toothy smile formed on his face. The apprentice quickly bounded after the Starclan cat. The stars seemed to consume them as they walked off into the swaying sea of grass… Discord: ChaoticCrow | Timezone: Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) | Code (c) Kieer
