Epilogue

Truth dipped his head in agreement. "That is a good idea," he rumbled in a deep voice, his blind eyes staring at nothing in particular.

"I agree, Courage," Love mewed. "Another spiritual being could be what we need."

Lately, the spirit cats had been going against each other, turning everything into a war. A spirit cat, a peaceful one, a mediator, could be just what they needed to stop the war.

"But who? I don't even remember what happened last time a new spiritual being was inducted," Courage mused.

"I remember," Grief's voice, like usual, was sad, despite her actual mood. It made Truth want to start sobbing, although he controlled himself.

"Who was it?" Love pressed.

"It was Anger," Truth interrupted suddenly. His booming voice made all three cats shrink away from him, suddenly terrified. "Oh, don't be like that. Seriously."

Being the all mighty god of the cats was annoying sometimes. Every cat was afraid of him.

"How did we choose him?" Courage asked.

"I just chose. He was suitable. He was a good cat in his life." Truth shrugged.

"Well, we need a calming cat. It doesn't matter if they're alive or dead. Time is nothing for us." Grief pointed out.

"What about Luckystar? She was leader for quite a while. Now, she's resting in StarClan. I'm sure she'd like some more responsibility," Love suggested.

"No," Courage replied. "Luckystar is unpredictable. And she needs her rest. She was brutally murdered by Dark. I believe that we should induct Silverspots."

"Silverspots?!" Grief mewed, surprised. "That cat is so daft, she couldn't catch a rabbit if she needed to!"

"How is she daft?" Truth spoke, having stayed silent the whole discussion.

"Love would know," Grief replied darkly. "It took her so long to go to Echoflight to reveal-"

"THAT'S IT!" Courage shouted. "Echoflight!"

Truth caught on immediately. "Echoflight is White Dove of the Clans. She's living, but that's fine. She's calming and a natural mediator."

"All in favour of Echoflight?" Grief held the vote.

Every cat stood up.

"What emotion?" Love asked quietly.

"I don't think we should give her Peace or anything like that. Let's try – Jealousy." Truth decided.

"Jealousy? Are you sure? What if it corrupts her personality?" Courage questioned.

"She'll be fine," Truth flicked his tail. "You are all dismissed."

Truth walked away, the shadows swallowing his white pelt up. He felt the ground and crouched low. He sprang from his crouch, and was transported to the future.

Truth watched with blind eyes as a battle went on. Echoflight was in the middle of it, desperately screaming her opinions on a type of cats. Other cats, the rude and harsh ones, advanced towards her.

"We don't believe in your opinions!" a cat yowled. "A cat shouldn't love-"

"That's mouse-brained!" Echoflight shouted back. "Cats can love whoever they want!"

Truth watched, then quietly walked over to Echoflight. No cat could see him or touch him. He gently tapped Echoflight's shoulder with his tail and although she was still arguing with the cats, another part of her consciousness was also talking to Truth in a daydream.

"Hello, Echoflight," Truth mewed pleasantly.

"Let me go back! I need to teach those mouse-brains a lesson!" Echoflight growled.

"You will, trust me," Truth assured her. "I'm just...stealing some of your time. You see, you're about to die." He stated plainly.

Echoflight shook her head. "I know that. I've been feeling it for ages. I just need to convince them that cats can love whoever they want!"

"I'm sorry, Echoflight, but you won't get that chance," Truth murmured. She's so bright. I feel bad taking her time so early.

"NO!" Echoflight glared at Truth. He could feel it, even though he couldn't actually see it.

"Echoflight, the Spirit Cats of the Heavens have a proposition for you. Upon your death, we invite you to join us as Jealousy. You will not be able to reside in StarClan, although you may visit your loved ones and friends. Will you accept?"

"Why do you need me?" Echoflight muttered, her tail lashing furiously.

"We need a calm cat. A mediator. That cat is you. You are perfect. You are the White Dove," Truth explained. "Will you join us?" he repeated.

Echoflight sighed. "Yes, I will."
