Description

-SPOILERS- 
I drew Graywing's death in the book path of stars. I was so sad when he died that I cried.
I really wanted to draw a picture of all the ghost cats but I don't have that much skill.

Dawn of the Clans
Warriors Path of Stars:
-Every cat he'd known was here. All the friends he'd lost on the journey, in the great battle, from illness or from accident. They were all here, waiting for him to join them.
      "Gray Wing" Slate's mew ruffled his ear fur. "What are you looking at?"
     Gray Wing took a shuddering breath. "They've come for me. They're not dead. They're just waiting for me to go with them." He nuzzled Slate's cheek. "Never forget how much I love you." Then he touched the heads of his kits one by one. "Silver Stripe, be brave and take care of your mother. White Tail, learn all that you can so that one day you will make your clan proud. Black Ear, forgive any harm you've been done and show kindness to your clan mates. For we are all fighting a hard battle, and sometimes kindness is all we need."
       Black Ear blinked at him, his eyes clouding with confusion.
    "You sound like you're saying goodbye."
       "I am." Gray Wing lapped his cheek.
        "No!" Black Ear scrambled over his flank and began pummeling his shoulder.
    "Don't go!" White Tail's cry faded as Gray Wing felt his last breath leave his body. The tightness in his chest eased as the invisible jaws finally let go.
     Drawing in a deep breath, Gray Wing got to his paws. Lightly he stepped from his nest. He glanced back and saw Slate, Silver Stripe, White Tail, and Black Ear clinging to the body he would no longer need. "I will always be watching you," he whispered.
      He turned toward the starry cats, and they moved aside and let him pass. Padding into the shadows of the den, he felt their pelts brush his and heard their welcoming purrs.
     He walked at their side, deeper into the darkness, until the gorse walls opened onto a vast horizon of rolling hills. In the distance, the sun was rising, sending dazzling streams of light spilling over the earth.
    I have traveled so far and loved so much, and yet I am still following the Sun Trail, heading for my new hunting grounds.
