So I just found this updated blurb for GV on HarperCollins: So yeah, he is going back to the old forest to visit the Moonstone! I'm excited!

Guessing it's because the Moonpool's out of commission (With it being frozen solid and all) so there's no other option but the moonstone. That is, implying the twolegs hadn't found the abandoned mine it's in by that point and broke it down.
But yeah Gray's very likely kicking the bucket here.

This makes me realize that Graystripe is among the few now who remember the old territories and the Moonstone. I'm guessing he clues into either the impostor's yet-to-be-revealed identity and goes to the Moonstone for guidance, since, as Brindlefern said, the Moonpool's kinda out commission for now.
Seeing how this might turn into a journey book, who will go with him? As much as I'd love chapters dedicated to Graystripe cursing his arthritis, he's about 14 years old and there's no way he can make that on himself. Maybe Bumblestripe/Blossomfall tag along with him? Some last family bonding time before Graystripe sadly inevitably kicks the bucket here.

I like how it's called a "comic" now instead of a "manga". Hopefully this won't spoil Darkness Within in any way. Why is he called a "warrior" in the blurb, he's an elder now. It's interesting that he's going back to the old forest again, it'll be cool to see what it looks like now, since it's been so long. I'm assuming StarClan is still silent as of the end of Veil of Shadows, so he decides to see if they will communicate at the Moonstone. I wonder if he'll have a few companions? It would be pretty boring if he went all by himself. I wonder if he's going to die in the old forest, because I still really want him to go out battling the Impostor.
Wait, I just remembered something as I was typing this! Ravenpaw's Farewell confirmed that some of the StarClan cats stayed behind during the Great Journey because they wanted to, Silverstream being one of them. He's definitely getting a visit from her. They probably have no idea what's going on, though. Maybe the endgame for Graystripe is that he dies there and joins them? I'd be surprised though, since he'd want to stay in the afterlife that has Firestar. Maybe he convinces Silversteram to go back with him to the current StarClan.

I'd love if Graystripe went out defending ThunderClan from him (protecting some of Firestar's kin, perhaps?), proving his undying loyalty to ThunderClan and Firestar. Heck, I'd be happy if Graystripe clues into who it is, seeing that he mentioned a few times in The Silent Thaw that the way the impostor was acting "nothing like Firestar did". When he dies, he's greeted by Silverstream, Briarlight, and Feathertail. Maybe an appearance from Firestar, Sandstorm, Dustpelt and Ravenpaw too since he was apprentices with them and goes with them to StarClan.

I'm sure he figures out somehow that fake Bramblestar is fake. Maybe in the next book. Yeah, I like that idea for when he finally kicks the bucket.

I don't really like journey books, but this is better than I hoped the plot would be. I really hope Bumblestripe or Blossomfall go with him and stop at the mountains to meet their half-brother, and that Graystripe gets to meet his grandkits. Maybe we'll get a dream scene with Silverstream and Millie, or even better, one with Feathertail and Briarlight? I also want to see him visit the Twoleg place and see Smudge and Princess, if they're even still around.

It will be great to see the Moonstone again. Interesting that's he's called a warrior here, even though he's an elder now. I'm still hoping he meets his Tribe grandkits, though. I don't think Graystripe has ever been to the Tribe, honestly.

Remember when most of the elders stayed behind in TNP because they couldn't make this exact journey? Guess Graystripe is very fit...
Also, no need to freak out about the potential lack of Stormfur, the Tribe is absolutely en route between the forest and lake territories. I wonder if he'll run into Diesel again, too?

graystripe why
he's probably 100+ years old in cat-to-human years, why the heck is he making a journey all the way back to the old forest territories, and to the Moonstone? that's a long, dangerous journey, especially for an elder
oh my god he's gonna die in this book isn't he

If he's heading back to the old territories, he better visit his son along the way, dammit.
It'll be good to see Highstones again, though. Maybe we'll get a montage of Greystripe visiting the old sites and seeing what, if anything, is left.

Man, this is definitely giving final journey vibes.
I do hope Blossom and/or Bumble go with him, and he'll have to go through the mountains anyway, so he'll most likely see Stormfur again. I really hope so...he deserves that much. He'll finally be able to rest with Silverstream in the afterlife when he's done.
But the big question is if he'll make the journey back? Or will his final resting place be the old forest/moonstone?

It’d be weird if he dies far away from the Clans, we’d have to WAS what or who exactly he brings back to ThunderClan. But if we want to see StarClan in his manga, his death most likely have to be near the Moonstone and obviously not the Moonpool

It's so cool that he's going to see the Moonstone! And he needs to see Stormfur again. It's been a long while.

He led an attack to free the captured cats and then got captured himself and Firestar was pretty adamant about not choosing a successor throughout the journey.

He can't make the journey back to the lake so he leaves the truth with them as his dying wish. His own kits have to bury him after he passes by moonstone in his sleep, oof.

All I know is that if he dies in this book and we get a StarClan greeting scene with Firestar, Silverstream, Feathertail, Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Bluestar, and other cats from the OG crew in the first series, y'all are gonna hear about me crying about it for the next 20 years. He's the last ThunderClan link to the old territories...just thinking about it makes me emotional af.
Ya girl is gonna be bawling her eyes out, and I'm not ashamed of it.

Cloudtail, Brightheart, Thornclaw, brackenfur, Whitewing... he's just one of the OG's. It's gonna be awful to see him go. I was talking about first book OG, since he was there from the start, ThunderClan-wise 😔 The others came to ThunderClan later, or were there early on, but it took a while for them to have any importance. It's weird, because I know the others still alive were born there, too, but Graystripe feels so different, and not just in the original apprentices (him, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Ravenpaw, and Firestar) way, but our first POV character grew up with him. Firestar's connection with Graystripe feels so much deeper; when he dies, I think it will be heart-wrenching due to that first book OG character being gone. We were sorta introduced to Brightheart, Brackenfur, and Thornclaw in Into the Wild when Frostfur's kits were taken, but they weren't named, and were basically nobodies for the longest time (Thornclaw still kinda is, beyond "patrol guy" ;p), and of course Cloudtail came to ThunderClan in Fire and Ice, but that seems...not long ago, almost? Meanwhile, Graystripe was there from Firestar's first pawstep in the forest, to that leader glow up, if that makes sense?

If Blossomfall or Bumblestripe don't go with him, it'd be REALLY cool to see Stemleaf (his grandson) go with him. They could find the truth together, and it'd make sense for Stemleaf since he's invested in outing fake Bramblestar. Sandstorm got her final journey with her grandchild. It'd be cute if Graystripe did too.
I hope Millie, Silverstream, Feathertail, Briarlight, Ravenpaw, and Firestar are the ones to greet him.

Did Ravenpaw's novella specify when it took place? I wonder if Barley is still around, it'd be nice to see him again.
