We shall miss Leopardstar. I remember her from all the way back when I was an apprentice in ThunderClan. I always respected her, and, though her loyalty to RiverClan never wavered, she was a leader who understood the importance of keeping every Clan strong. She had the heart, courage, and strength of the mighty cat she was named for.

There was a pause as Leopardstar strained to take a breath, and Mistyfoot half rose, ready to call for help. Then Leopardstar relaxed again. I am sorry not to have known the joy of having kits. There was a time when I thought it might happen, but it was not to be. Her words faded away as though she was picturing something she had dreamed of long ago. Perhaps it was for the best. But I would have been proud to call you my daughter, Mistyfoot.
