Water trickled and bubbled. Voices chattered and ears rang. Ghost had been sick for multiple moons now. Blue eyes grown dull. Fur well kept from the little energy she had. Wind blew through her den. Whistling its own melody. A calming one. 115 moons. That was longer than most would ever get to see. Yet Ghost had been there, and never seen any of it. The elder closed her blind eyes. Taking in some shaky breaths. Time was ticking. It forever would be. Cats would talk and walk and chatter and mingle. For years and years to come. The ocean would wave and the grass would billow. The birds would chirp and the squirrels would squeak. Kits would play and warriors would hunt. Generations growing old and new ones coming. Ghost would not see any of it. She knew it was here. She could feel the tug. The tug on her heart. The strings being pulled, telling her to join them. So many of her family. Her friends, her loved ones. To say goodbye? She did not know. Who was still around? Her mind had grown foggy. She could not remember who had left and who had stayed. Who had fought and who had given up. . . A thread will be started in the comments for goodbye roleplays and responses. I would like for one of ghost's friends or family members to take her up to starclan. This next part takes after the goodbyes. Ghost had a gentle smile. tears sparkling in her icy, loving eyes. "Don't tell me I'm dying." She whispered. Sadly. She already knew. And this time. Her other lives would not save her. Would not sweep her back. "I want to go without a care in the world." She uttered. Laying her head on her silver paws. "Thank you for this life." She whispered up into the sky. Taking a final breath. Her body was still. This was it. The fall of a fable. Thank you. Everyone. These last two years have been so special. I'm sorry I wasn't active these past months. I couldn't bring myself to do anything. Thanks for the memories. This has taken so much of me. Hell I'm crying right now. Hah. Ghost was something that has changed my life, even if she was just some silly roleplay character. Not having her around will be... Strange to say the least. But its okay. Thank you. again.
