Song Inspiration: MICHL - Die Trying
Softwillow traveled gracefully over the waters of Starclan, a lake larger than one any cat could have ever seen. One couldn't be sure this was even Starclan anymore but she was going to follow her son if it killed her.
She'd witnessed him get kidnapped by humans during a moonlit night watching fireflys with two of his clans apprentices.
Being naught more than a spirit she was unable to give him warning or protect him as she wished she could. Farther and farther the three were taken and it was at that point that Softwillow made up her mind. With hurried farewells to all her clanmates and family she started on her own journey with determination. She ran for days on end to keep up with her stolen kit, the farther she got from her own territory the more her spirit began to fade.
Even when she could see through her own paws and her tail began to turn to smoke she never faltered in following after him. For so long as even one cat knew of her and kept her memory alive she could never fade from existence.
She knew not where he was going to end up but she had already left him on his own once and she refused to let that be the case again. Wherever he ended up she would join. He would never have to be alone again.
When his time comes she would bring him to Starclan herself, to welcome him home after his incredibly painful life of losing all those he knew and loved not once but twice over.
He was destined for greatness, this she knew.
She would be his guide until the end.
For there was nothing stronger than a mothers love and determination to see their children succeed.
