Woecrow stood at her mother's grave, a silent breeze ruffled her black fur. Stillnight walked over and sat next to her, sadness clear in dull yellow eyes. "Why, why did you fight for Stillnight!?" Woecrow's sorrowful call broke the silence of the night. Stillnight rested her tail across her sister's shoulders and looked up from the grave to the silent stars which glimmered in response. "Sister, it is time to say our sorrows." Stillnight meowed to Woecrow."She was, brave and strong... but that didn't help her in the end...." Woecrow wailed. "She was loving and protective...." Stillnight meowed sorrowfully as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. "She was mighty and noble..."A cat from the shadows meowed. Other cats' voices rose to agree or to add. Suddenly, there was a respectful silence.... but it was soon broken by Woecrow's singing "A life of a warrior is noble and brave, but a time comes when they must rest their tired legs and follow the stars to find the place of peace. May your spirit find Starclan, may your spirit be accepted. And we will remember all those times, but we must keep on. Your death is encouraging, inspiring and sad, but we must keep on........" As the forest repeated the beautiful song, the cats departed, Woecrow took one more look before leaving with her head low.

"Death is sad... but we must use it to encourage us and inspire us! Not get us down." Boulderrumble called from the Braverock."Says the killer of the one we morn!" Woecrow hissed under her breath, making a cat next to her flatten their ears."Tomorrow, I will head to the Crystal of Stars and receive my nine lives, the cats going are.... Silverpebble, Shadowpaw, Thornclaw, Burnpaw and Woecrow." Boulderrumble yowled to the clan. Stillnight's eyes went wide as she turned to Woecrow."You're going!" Stillnight shouted."Only because it is clan rule for the killer to make it up to the victim's kin." Woecrow half hissed half meowed."We go tomorrow, at sunrise." Boulderrumble finished as he jumped off the Brave Rock. Woecrow mumbled and went back into the warriors' den, it felt empty without her mother. Woecrow curled up in a nest and fell asleep.
