[09] -"Ever enough?" Grandeur's Fall (aka DRP)- (RP)

Instructions

[You have...ONE new voicemail.] "Hey. Its Grandeurphantom. By the time you get this...I've moved on. To the afterlife. But do not weep for my past. Do not grieve for what could have been. Stay in the present. Move forward. Look ahead to the sun, and let my shadow fall behind you. My kits -past and present-, I love you to the stars and back. Never forget that. I wish I could have been there more. Sorastar, I'm sorry I couldn't have made Urchinclan better. I'm sorry I couldn't keep your memories alive, Trailblazer. Forgive my broken promise. Kiteinferno. Even if we may have ended on bad terms, I still idolize you. I will always look up to you, big brother, even if I never say it to your face. Urchinclan. I may not have been your leader like I would have liked, but I was -and still am- proud to have gotten the chance to be your deputy. The moons I spent in that position were some of my best. Tortrixblight and Shatteredcrown, I hope I made you proud. All I've ever wanted was your praise. And I think I finally heard it in my final moments. Do you...think we could all be a family again? One big...happy family, when I come home for the final time? I'd like that. Maplestar. Even if you had never been fully there, watching you from afar was more than enough. Thank you for being the mother who stepped up, even if you wander as a loner now. Vultureslaughter, and every cat who I wronged or who wronged me. I forgive you. Forgiveness is the most powerful claw a warrior can have, mercy the unbreakable tooth. Even if you despise me with every ounce of your being, know that at least one of us can see our mistakes and put it behind us. Dolphinsong and Orcaear. I love you both with every fiber of my body. I have so many things to tell you...I wish you were there for so many things. My first litter. My deputyship. My last litter. Lets complete the circle for the final time. We'll never part again...right? Deelmaelstorm. My closest friend both before and after Dolly's passing. Thank you for helping me through every bump. Every high and low that life threw my way. May both Starclan and the Dark Forest bless you with a long life, E. My mates, the loves of my life. Basalt. Kelp. Jinx. In every timeline, every different outcome, I would choose all three of you. I will always be with you. Now let me fulfill that promise. And to my past self. Keep fighting. Keep pushing forward, keep /believing/, even if the sky is the darkest ink you've ever seen. There will be ups and downs to your life, and embrace every single one like an old friend as you wait for the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyways, I'm out losers. Got a date with Death, and I can't be late. But...don't forget me, alright? Tell my story. Make sure I can leave behind something for Urchinclan, even if its just a lesson to stay away from cliffs, ha. See ya never." [click] ================================ Oh boy, where to begin. Well, I just wanna thank the whole Generations community as a whole. Each character who interacted with Phantom helped shape her, for better or worse. And I thank each member for that. Next, I want to thank and for allowing me to claim Grandeurphantom when she was just a wee lad. I saw the potential in her, and I'm so happy you guys did as well. I want to thank , , and for being Deur's mates. You guys helped show her that she doesn't need to protect herself from every single cat. Something that she needed. I also wish to thank Inky, , , , and for being the most influential cats on Grandeur! Dolphinsong, Orcaear, Vultureslaughter, Deepmaelstorm, and Sorastar were the cats who I felt interacted the most with my baby, and who helped mold her into the fierce yet very insecure cat she was. I want to thank all of Grandeurphantom's first litter as well. Even if she barely got to interact with you guys, you still left little paw prints in her heart, and changed her course of life forever. Last but not least, thank you again Inky, for having Deepabyss take her life. I specifically wanted it to be Deep, so that the final lesson Phanta could learn was that every cat was unique. And just because you had a positive relationship with one's parents doesn't mean it'll be the same as their kin. Grandeurphantom will be becoming a shade after d3ath, claiming two obsidians from the afterlife (to give one to Dynastykit and to keep the other). She will walk between Starclan and the Dark Forest to visit her loved ones, but will mainly hang in the Dark Forest with Dolphinsong, happy to be in her friend's presence once again.
