// @GRAYSTORM
A call to action, a call to war. Those are the last words Howlingstar hears as she slips away, one final breath leaving her before her striped form goes still. Her fourth life has gone. When she opens her eyes, it is a forest she knows well by now. Yes, she has stood here several times before, not when she met with Little Wolf or Gray Wolf, but when she had lost her previous lives. She is dead, she now knows for certain. Finally, the sickness has claimed her, and she will return stronger than ever.
She begins to walk, feeling at ease in this place of stars and moonlight. Her round eyes travel over the trees and rolling hills and vines that swing from branches above. She wonders who from this starry landscape will greet her this time. An old friend? More kin? Paws rustle the undergrowth behind her and she turns, ears pricking with curiosity. It's only when she sees that pelt she could never forget, snowy markings unique to only him, that she cries out in joy. "Graystorm," She greets through joyous tears, whipping her body around to take swift strides towards her son. She embraces him, pressing her neck against his and breathing in his scent.
