''So, Firestar's death, you made it to number nine, can you believe that? There are moments when I can't believe it, it was ridiculously hard keeping track of how many lives he lost.Eventually, I have a British fan to thank, a girl called Carrie, who made me a poster, absolutely huge, A3* size, of all his deaths thus far. I think she got up to number seven, and then she left spaces for me to write in number eight and nine, and I have to say a big thank you to Carrie because that's the only way I kept track of them. I always wanted his last death to be something very peaceful, very still. We have lots of raging deaths in Warriors, where cats fight so violently against dying or get very vocal, and you know, 'I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving you', 'it's not fair', and I actually wanted Firestar's last death to be a moment of stillness to show that he accepted his destiny. Fire has saved the Clan, he knows that, but has burnt himself out in doing. It was always going to be Tigerstar who killed Firestar, just as it was always going to be Firestar who would finally eradicate Tigerstar once and for all, banishing him from the Dark Forest. I think in the first six books it seemed as if the final battle would be between those two cats. But we kinda cheated a bit, we brought in Scourge. So, just at the point when Tigerstar seemed the biggest enemy Firestar could have, there was a greater enemy and at the point where Tigerstar dies we actually think, 'oh no, we needed him.' What Firestar feels is loss that a great warrior has gone. However, Tigerstar, as we know, didn't fade away as he should've done. He kept plotting, he kept being evil, and causing trouble, and now, inevitably, Firestar has to wipe him out once and for all. So, there's all kinds of rightness about this death. It doesn't mean that it's not sad, it doesn't mean that I didn't feel a moment of regret. But in that stillness there is an acceptance by Firestar, by me, by all of us, I think, that the end had come and number nine had to finish.''
