Moonstar reached the Moonpool before dark and he immediately lay down with his nose to the water. He was immediately covered in darkness and he saw a lone cat sitting on the ledge of the cliff just in front of the ocean. He was in shadow with the sunset behind him. He was shaped like a normal cat, but he was bigger than any cat Moonstar had ever seen.
Out of the blue came a voice. "One will come who will deceive the forest."
Moonstar woke up immediately and found he was shivering. He got up and though confused about everything, knew something was up and headed straight back to camp. The sun was just starting to come up from the ocean.

Showerwhisker finally arrived at the moonpool. The deputy took in
a breath, he was about to be made a Leader. He laid down and touched
his nose to the water, and was consumed by a dream.
He felt something grip him fast. He soon opened his eyes
to see the stars pulling down. The warriors of Starclan appeared.
"Greetings, Showerwhisker." A Tom's voice said. "Greetings."
Everyone else echoed. Showerwhisker looked to the cats.
He nodded to them. A cat he knew very well stepped
out to him, Owlstreak, his father. Showerwhisker gazed with pride.
"We accept you, as Fireclan's new Leader." Owlstreak spoke,
and gave him his first life. Showerwhisker felt a huge impact.
So this is what it feels like.He thought. Next his mother
Rainwind gave him his second life. Many other cats continued
giving him his lives. Eventually all of his lives were given.
"Serve your clan well, Showerstar Leader of Fireclan." Every cat
meowed. Showerstar nodded, flame burning in his golden eyes.
He returned to reality.
Showerstar stood up, feeling weak and blown over.
But a new power gave his strength back, but he had
more strength than before. He had the warriors of Starclan
with him. He began to pad away, but turned only his head around.
He stared for a long moment at the Moonpool, thinking of what
just happened. He finally began his Journey home.

Moonstar and Silverspeck walked toward the pool and lay down with their noses to the water.

Instantly Moonstar woke up without and dream but it wasn't because StarClan wasn't speaking to him, it was as if they were telling him that there was nothing wrong and that the witch wouldn't bother them again. He looked over and Silverspeck was already awake. She didn't even say anything, she just nodded and left. He left behind her and headed back to his own territory.

Dawnspirit padded into the small clearing where the Moonpool was located. Her warm breath was casting warm puffs of mist into the air, spinning sparkling stars into the air. Letting out a breath, she lay down by the Moonpool, her nose touching the water, awaiting StarClan to send her to sleep.

Dawnspirit was aching with cold. If I lay like this for much longer, my joints are going to freeze up... she thought miserably. Finally, she opened her eyes just a slit. Her brain hastened to comprehend what was going on. She was standing in a great hollow between a cluster of trees, the stars so close that she thought if she reared up on her hind legs, she could bat at them. Her spring dawn blue eyes widened in terrified awe as she saw the starry warriors of Silverpelt began to spiral down to earth, taking on the forms of lithe cats with stars in their pelts, sparkling like newleaf dew. Scrambling to her paws, she swiped her tongue over the white splotch of fur on her chest. "Welcome, Dawnspirit," came a voice that sounded like every single cat she had grown up with, yet spoke with a single, defined voice. "Are you ready to receive your nine lives?" Dawnspirit didn't trust herself to speak, so she nodded. A handsome tabby approached her, his tail held high. "Bramblefur!" Dawnspirit gasped, eyes widening in awe. "It's you!" Bramblefur had been her uncle, and she mourned him greatly when he died. Bramblefur touched his nose to Dawnspirit's head. It burned like fire and ice against her. "With this life I give you courage," Bramblefur murmured. "Use it well to defend your Clan." Dawnspirit felt a bolt, like lightning, sear through her, overloading her senses. She felt her vision darken with battles and hunts, the feel of claws and teeth meeting the flesh of prey. Finally, the pain ended, leaving Dawnspirit shaken. Bramblefur left her, rejoining his rank of starry warriors. Another cat approached, a beautiful she-cat that made Dawnspirit want to yowl her grief. "Violetblossom," she murmured. "my sister..." Violetblossom didn't answer, merely touching her nose to Dawnspirit's. "With this life I give you justice," she mewed. "Use it well to judge the actions of all others." Dawnspirit clenched her teeth to stop herself from yowling her pain. Everything ended with a rush of pure terror and a deep, spasming pain at the base of her skull. "Thank you, my dearest sister," Violetblossom meowed, pressing her muzzle to Dawnspirit's flank. "You were able to avenge my death." Dawnspirit nodded her acknowledgment as Violetblossom left, and another handsome black cat approached. Dawnspirit's heart leapt. It was her friend, Jaypaw, who had died from greencough. "With this life I give you loyalty for what you know is right," he murmured. "Use it well to guide your Clan during times of extreme hardship." Dawnspirit braced herself for the pain, but felt instead a warm glow of love, love, she recognized, was for her. "I was a mouse-brain," she murmured. "I'm sorry." Jaypaw nodded, eyes filled with love and sorrow that couldn't be placed into words. The cats kept coming, receiving lives for tireless energy, protection and mentoring. Dawnspirit was aching, wondering how she would be able to bear the other three lives to come. The first to come was another tom, with a creamy, white, and black pelt, like Dawnspirit's. "Cloudrain!" she mewed. "Father!" Cloudrain touched his nose to hers. "With this life I give you compassion," he muttered. "Use it well for the elders of your Clan, the sick, and those dire in need." She drank in the life hungrily, feeling her father's humor, his sharp tongue, his honor, and his loyalty to the kits whom he sacrificed his life for. "I've missed you, Cloudrain..." she murmured. But he was already heading back making way for a beautiful she-cat with silver tabby fur and spring dawn blue eyes, like Dawnspirit's. "Mistytail!" she breathed out. "Mother!" Mistytail bent her head down, resting her muzzle on top of Dawnspirit's head. "With this life I give you love. Use it well for all cats of your Clan, especially the one you have yet to discover." Her eyes glistened with pride for her daughter. The life was warm and comforting, making her feel like a kit back in the nursery. Mistytail covered Dawnspirit's head with licks, before leaving. At last, a she-cat with a creamy tortoiseshell pelt and summer green eyes approached. "Welcome, Dawnspirit," she mewed. "You do not know me, but I am Summerstar, the leader before you, the one who came after Skystar. I just want you to know that I am extremely proud of you, my granddaughter. I always knew that you would make an excellent leader of my Clan." Dawnspirit bowed her head, allowing Summerstar to touch her nose to Dawnspirit's head. "With this life I give you nobility and certainty of faith," she said. "Use it well to lead your Clan in the pawsteps of StarClan and uphold the warrior code until you lay down your last life." Mistytail's life had lulled, leaving Dawnspirit unprepared for Summerstar's. Dawnspirit felt Summerstar's ambition, her ferocity in battle after battle in service to her Clan, and the love she held for every single cat in her Clan, especially her kit, Cloudrain, her father. Dawnspirit felt the rush of power grow and grow until she thought her pelt would never hold it. Just as she thought that she would have to yowl her pain, or die, but it lulled, leaving her with a calm acceptance and joy. A soft sigh passed through the clearing, and all the StarClan warrior's arose. Shakily, Dawnspirit climbed to her paws. "I hail you by your near name, Dawnstar," Summerstar announced. "Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants your guardianship of MoonClan. Defend it well, care for all cats, from the elders to the kits, honor your warrior ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code, and live each life with pride and dignity." Dawnstar bowed her head as the StarClan cats began to yowl her new name. "Dawnstar! Dawnstar! Dawnstar! Dawnstar!" Suddenly, Dawnstar jolted awake, the sun warm against her pelt.

moonshadow, nervous, looked around, then quickly stuck her nose in the pool.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
she looked up into a great yawning expanse of stars then scurried about the great starry cats, by now they were used to her, and called ot "ghostwhisper, ghostly, are you here?"
"i am here, i am here child, no need to shout" croaked a young silver tabby, who had died in sacrifice. she had easily befrendid the comical black cat, who reminded her of her kit, coldrain
shadow looked up "oh ghosty, why are there thousands of kits? why are there so many medicine cats? is there a big battle to come?
gohstwhisper chuckled "there is indeed, shayde. when the fox is an apprentice, a battle and sickness will rage."
shadow gaped in horror "foxkit? why, shes six moons next moonset, and the ceremony is about three days after that! surely the battle isn't that soon, is it?
ghostwhisper shook her head sadly " it is, but don't worry, a cold kit, though injured will be a hero"
moonshadow looked blankly at the she-cat "starclan needs harder riddles."
"if that is easy i suggest that you watch for me to come."
moonshadow grinned " oh good, i'll be glad to have you. will i still be able to talk to you in starclan, or will i have have to deal with an unruly kit?
"ghostwhisper smiled. "youll see, shayde, youll see"
and starclan faded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
moonshadow woke up, and stunned for a bit, ran home to moonclan, knowing she would have to tell dawnstar.
