      Quiet whispering of cats can be heard. Next to Tigerstar is his favorite Feathertail, for which he is ready to give his ghostly life.       The registrar is standing next to them; Tigerstar can't see his face.       — Good afternoon, dear guests and newlyweds! — the registrar spoke up. — Today Feathertail and Tigerstar are getting married. Dear bride and groom, you have what millions are looking for, but only a select few find. This is Love. It is she who connects hearts and destinies, thoughts and aspirations on the way to the great art of married life: to live for the happiness of a loved one. The creation of a family is the beginning of a good union of two loving hearts. And today is the most beautiful and unforgettable event in your life. From this day on, you will go through life hand in hand, experiencing both the joy of happy days and sorrows together. But before you say, perhaps, the most important words in your life, let me remind you that it is love — the feeling that brought you together, will forever remain the unchanging guarantor of your happiness. And perhaps there will be a reassessment of values in your life more than once, but this value will remain unchanged. And now, in the presence of people dear and close to you, I ask you to answer, Tigerstar-I, do you agree will you marry a Feathertail, be with her for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?       - Yes! - Tigerstar responded. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time…       — Feathertail, do you agree to become the wife of Tigerstar-I, to be with him in sorrow and in joy, wealth and poverty, in sickness and in health until death do you part?       — Yes, — the Feathertail nodded eagerly.       — Every person dreams of being happy, but does every person remember that he himself is the creator of his happiness. Today you are starting a new path into your family life, and it is only in your power to make her happy. As a sign of the firmness of your intentions and the infinity of love, exchange wedding rings. Dear spouses! Dear love, you have come to us by joining your destinies with a family union. Save the gift of the first happy days and carry their purity and fidelity through many years of life. Do not lose your love among life's failures and fuss. May your happiness be bright and pure, like the spring sky; long, like your whole life, and beautiful, like your great love! From now on, you are husband and wife! Groom, you can kiss the bride! And now relatives can congratulate the new family!       Tigerstar bends down to the Feathertail to kiss her — and after that she will become his wife, his lawful wife, and no Crowpaw will be able to take her away…       Tigerstar abruptly jumped up on his litter and at first did not immediately orient himself in the pitch darkness.       "Where's... me...? Where's Feathertail?"       And then the memories came flooding back.       The Feathertail crashes on the stone floor of the cave, saving the Clan of Falling Water from the cougar... Broken by grief, Tigerstar returns to the Dark Forest…       Tigerstar again felt the pain of a broken heart. Never again will he see a Swallow, feel its warmth, or smile at him…
