Well…here he is, 12 moons and still some ways to go until his own warriors ceremony. He didn’t have anything against cats that become warriors beyond 12 moons but…he had to prove himself! And he couldn’t fall behind, no matter what! He would just have to rush himself. He’d have to train every waking hour. That was his only solution to keep up. He had to do this!

In all earnest, Silverlark was a cat on a mission. The mission? Find his Flashies. Make sure she was alright! Because! Look. He knew his Auntie Larky would like... never not look out for her, but he knew, yeah? How shy his former apprentice was when it came to meeting new cats. She had been doing so much better, oh yes. But the tom still worried. Couldn't help it. She had been his responsibility, and he was a good mentor. A proper mentor. Even if he was maybe technically dead now. Just a minor inconvenience, hmph, hmph!

Imagine his surprise, then! When he encountered - gasp - Darkydark! And Rainy. Oh... but Rains? She wasn't looking too good. Nope. Not at all. Especially considering there was two of em. Wait no... two?!

Rounded ears perked up as his brain slowly begun working, putting two and two - no time for puns now, Silvs - together. Rainpaw was dead, wasn't she? And if she wasn't? Well... she 'bout to be. Oh. Oh no. Auntie Larky was going to be crushed! Darkydark was crushed, too! He could hear him, begging Rains to wake up. Just like Auntie Larky had done for him. But... it didn't work that way. The former enforcer knew. You couldn't just wake up once the stars took you.

Gaze turning momentarily serious, the youthful looking tom took a step forward, the stars shimmering in his pelt as he remained firmly within the confines of the spirit realm. He had been with someone on his time of departure. True, it had been a living cat, but she had seen him. Maybe it was 'cause she was blind now? Like, she could see spirits now because of it? Oh, she should ask her! Um... you know. Some other time. Because now? Now he was going to pay it forward. If Rain couldn't talk to her dad, then he'd be there for her. She might not be his apprentice, but ShadowClanners? They stick together, yo.

"Hey Rainy! 'member me? Silverlark! Used to be an enforcer, yo. How yous holdin' up?"

Alright. Maybe not the most eloquent. But like... he'd never been truly gifted with words, right? And it's not like if he could ask her if she was okay. That bird had flown the nest by now. Best he could do was provide some moral support. Maybe try and communicate with her pops if she wanted him to. He was pretty sure he still had the strength to do that, mmmhmmm. Just, whatever it was... have her know there was a friendly face to turn to once she was ready to make the trip to the stars.

Wildpaw sat down and started licking her paw.

Her gaze would move back and forth from her figure on the ground with her dad and the bright light from the outside of the den. Rainpaw felt herself starting to tear up. Why hadn't she woken up yet? Why was the outside so bright? Am I... dying? It was a haunting thought, but something she was slowly accepting. It wasn't like she was fit for this world anyway. She was slower, couldn't keep up with normal cats, couldn't do normal cat things without fainting. She hated it here.

On the other paw, leaving her father like this was terrible. She should give him some comfort and come back later? Maybe she can go in her sleep instead?! She didn't know what the right answer was, but something about her not waking up was answering that for her.

All these thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice. Slowly, her head turned to look at Silverlark. He seemed to appear from the bright entrance of the den. Her heartrate shot up. Physically and in this realm. "Wha- How. How are you here?!" Rainpaw spoke softly, astonished. "I'm.. I'm dying aren't I? You- You're dead so I mean... I'm..." She took a sharp inhale and let a tear slide down her cheek. "I'm dying?"

Physically, Darkfall's attempts of resuscitating had worked. It was a momentary fix, though, as her physical body reacted the way her spiritual one did. Her heart rate and breathing rose, even in her sleep. Her heart threw some arrythmias, making her body dwindle into an even weaker state.

Slowly, Rainpaw's body would give.
Slowly, Rainpaw was losing touch with this world.

Her heart simply couldn't handle the tax anymore.

Tears. Oh. Silverlark hated those. And he knew there would be more to come. Once her family realized what was going on. The tom's ears flattened on his head, his youthful features sporting a grim expression for once as he sat down heavily besides the apprentice, remaining quiet for a moment as he stared at Darkydark sobbing over his daughter's faltering body. This was... rough. His own demise had been quiet. Lonely. Until Auntie Larky had shown up. Had begged him to get up.

"Yeah..." he finally mewed, tone neutral as he nodded.

Offering a friendly paw, the former enforcer attempted to wrap his forelimb around the molly's shoulder, hoping to grant some comfort. There wasn't really a lot to say here. Silverlark had been sad when he'd left too, but he had been happy that he had at least got to say goodbye. That there were voices calling him to his new home. Voices from long ago of cherished ones that had left this earth before he had. Considering how much the former medicine cat had lost, how many kits had gone... perhaps Rainpaw would find some loved ones up in StarClan as well? One could only hope.

"Is not bad, yous know? There's lots of old friends and family that you can sees again, yeah? And yous know? Everyone goes someday. 'Cept Dawnstars and Whisk. Those two older than the forest, yo. But when they cross over here, we can come back and get 'em. Welcome them to their new home. Have everyone happy and together again. We really just separated for a little while, mmmhmmm."

Silence followed his words as he allowed the apprentice to cry. To mourn for the life she couldn't live to her fullest. Although maybe that was for the best. Silverlark had not know real happiness since he was a tiny kit, a happiness that he now knew existed in the stars. But... he wouldn't judge her for missing them already. For wanting to be alive. For wanting to finish her training and make a name for herself in the clan. Instead he would stay there. Let her come to terms before it was time to depart.
