       The leader of Fireclan we all knew and loved. [Firestar's funera
       l, family only.]
       By: Hawk Eye Date: March 4, 2013, 4:10 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       OOC: Yes, we are having a funeral. Shut up.
       Skycloud had barley talked all day. In fact the only time she
       had spoken was when she was telling the elders to prepare
       Firestar's funeral, which was going to take place in the center
       of camp at midnight.
       Other than that, there was not a word from her. It was 20
       minutes before midnight, and all of Firestar's family and
       Firestar's family only were going to be attending the funeral.
       All of his family that were alive, anyway.
       Sure, Skycloud and Darksmoke were not really Firestar's family,
       but they were adopted and they were considered to be loved by
       Firestar. Skycloud was loved by him, anyway. Darksmoke, not so
       much....
       But, shockingly enough, Skycloud had actually managed to find
       someway to convince Darksmoke into coming to the funeral.
       Skycloud and Darksmoke had not talked to each other ever since
       Darksmoke had been banished from Fireclan back when he had
       started that flood and when he was called Darkpaw. When he was
       being banished from Fireclan, Firestar angrily named Darkpaw
       Darkheart, after his bloodthristy father and the deputy of the
       Darkforest. But Darksmoke hadn't cared being exiled and named
       Darkheart, he actually liked it. And then, a month later,
       Darksmoke took over Rainbowclan and became the Darksmoke we all
       know and love today. It was then that Darksmoke and Skycloud cut
       off contact with each other.
       But now, for the first time in moths, Skycloud had gone to
       Rainbowclan and convinced Darksmoke to come to the funeral. She
       didn't care if they didn't like the fact that she was bringing
       Darksmoke, he was her brother and she wanted him there.
       Darksmoke had loved Firestar once, before his heart became evil
       and tainted. Maybe Skycloud could bring some of that love.
       Skycloud was outside of the leader's den, waiting for
       Flamingheart, her mate.  Flamingpaw and  Cloudpaw and everyone
       else attending Firestar's funeral were waiting for Flamingheart
       too. Darksmoke was sitting rather awkwardly beside Skycloud. It
       felt weird to be with his sister after so long. And it felt
       weird to even be here.

       Flamingheart padded out of the warriors den sadly, and sat
       beside Skycloud. His heart ached for his father to talk to him
       again. Even if he told him to toughen up and stop acting like a
       little kit. Flamingheart almost couldn't bear it, being without
       his father that is.
       Cloudpaw looked up to her mother, then to her uncle. "Uncle
       Darksmoke. If you are a leader, then why is your name Darksmoke
       and not Darkstar?" Cloudpaw whispered to him nervously
       Sharpstar padded in quietly and took her seat near Darksmoke.
       She watched sadly as her brother was carried to his final
       resting place. The daughter of Smoke looked at Darksmoke, a
       glint of playfulness shone in her vivid purple eyes for just a
       fraction of a second before she looked to the ground.
       Star and Smoke watched from above, in the high lands of death,
       waiting for Firestar to join one or the other.
       Rainbowpelt, the Starclan messenger, lay calmly on a cloud.
       Waiting. Watching. She missed her kits, her sons, her daughter.
       Now she would be reunited with one of them. At last she would
       see her Firestar again.
       'She likes you.' Smoke thought to Darksmoke. 'It is probably a
       good thing too. The fact that you actually caught my daughter's
       eye..'
       OOC: I am locking this, so that only you and I can reply. I
       think we have the only cats related to my beloved Firestar...
       I miss you Firestar!!  :'(

       Skycloud felt a little better once she had Flamingheart sitting
       beside her. But her throat still felt tight as she silently
       fought back tears.  She stared down at where Firestar was beig
       buried and tears began to well in her eyes. She couldn't help
       it. She was soft and wasn't good at controlling her emotions.
       Darksmoke looked down at little Cloudpaw and gave her a small
       smile. He blinked, not sure what to say. "Uhm, well...My name is
       Darksmoke and not Darkstar because my clan follows
       a....uh...different religion than Starclan." Darksmoke told her
       gently.
       Darksmoke then felt Sharpstar's fur from where she sat beside
       him. He turned his head to look at her and gave her a smile. He
       wrapped his tail around her and nuzzled he before he turned his
       solemn eyes back on the funeral.
       After the elders finished burying Firestar, Skycloud stood up.
       It was tradition that a medicine cat had to speak traditional
       words during the funeral. After she said those words Firestar's
       spirit would go to it's spirithome. Starclan or the Darkforest.
       He was most likely going to go to Starclan.
       Skycloud drew in a deep breath to begin speaking the words, but
       her throat was so choked up with tears that she gave a small
       crying whimper instead of actually talking.
       Darksmoke looked sadly at her sister. He gave her a small
       encouraging nudge to begin talking. He still felt awkward being
       so nice and gentle to everyone here. After all, he was
       surrounded by cats who worshipped Starclan. He tried not to
       think about the fact that he was going to meet most of these
       cats ...on the battlefield sooner of later. He knew his claws
       were going to have to slash at Flamingheart soon, if his
       takeovers were going to be successful.
       The second Darksmoke thought that, a prophecy clicked in
       Skycloud's mind. Two, actually. One about her brother, and
       another one about a stone....
       Skycloud blinked and then shook her head. She tried to clear her
       throat to speak, despite her mind in knots at the moment from
       just receiving two prophecies at the same time.

       [center]Flamingheart looked up to his mate comfortingly, he was
       feeling the same as she was, if not worse. He wanted to make
       sure that Skycloud didn't embarrass herself.
       Cloudpaw looked up to to her uncle again. "Oh. You follow my
       Great Grandpa, right?"[/center]
