With his aunt at his side, Pitchsun hesitates in front of the Moonstone. The cynical part of him expects nothing to happen. StarClan hadn't kept their promise of gifting Briarstar nine lives, so why would they bestow that gift upon him?
But another part of him hopes that something does happen; that he would wake to see his mother and father's faces once more. No blood, no monsters both metaphorical and physical to tear them apart. They would be a happy family once more; no matter how brief it may be, Pitchsun wants just one more moment of happiness. One more heartbeat where he doesn't feel as if the world is coming to an end, crumbling around him.
Pitchsun inhales sharply, his own mind at war with itself, as he leans in and brushes his nose against the cool stone.
The ground falls from beneath his paws. When Pitchsun opens his eyes, he is no longer in the cavern, but in a starlit marsh. Nine cats stand in a line before him, their fur glittering with stars. Pitchsun, elegant as he is, gapes at them with a slack jaw. His widened eyes rove over each cat, hoping and seeking, until he sees her. "Mom-" The rosette tabby starts towards his mother with bittersweet tears building, only to be intercepted by the first star-speckled feline.
Pitchsun glowers at them, his expression an unspoken question of, why are you in my way?
