The camp dissolved behind you, a ghost fading into the dusk. Moonlight washed the riverbank, stretching solitary shadows over the wet grass. you kept their head bowed, ears pressed back, deaf to the whisper of leaves that spoke of another's approach. Then, from the bracken, the tall orange tom appeared, his amber eyes holding a quiet, aching care. Firestar moved with the weary grace of a leader who has carried too many sorrows, his focus resting on the grandkit the clan had forgotten. The air thickened with secrets and the guilt of a family's failure. He drew nearer, his voice a low vibration that parted the stillness, urging watchfulness in a world that had already looked away from you.
