OoC: Oddly enough, I can't seem to get into the writing mood. I can't even have a nice dream to inspire me. So I was hoping, after Rainfeather gets her nine lives, that we could have a time lapse of four months.

That way Echovoice's kits would be four moons old, and Emeraldrain's could become apprentices' and the journey could find the sand dunes and be on only a night away from IceClan. It would also mean that leaf-bare is nearly over so the monsters are begining to move again. Though prey would still be hard to catch, I'm sure some amazing-nearly perfect cats could find some, would be a bit easier to find. Oh, and Eaglestars kits could become warriors, well, I don't know about that...Patchpelt, Silentheart, and Cheetahwind had a twelve moons of training. Anyway, what do you guys think about the idea?

ooc; I think Rainfeather would appreciate if I did this in my old font.

As Rainfeather watched her Clan get ready fro Eaglestar’s vigil, she noticed Nightfall padding up to her with some herbs in her mouth. “Here,” she meowed, her pale blue eyes clouded with sadness. “Mistsoul and Gentleheart are staying in the Camp, it is my duty to take you to Moon pool.” She finished. “So let it be.” Rainfeather murmured to herself, looking around the camp she noticed the ebony colored warrior, Swiftdarkness. “I will be right back, I need a cat to look after the camp.” She meowed, to Nightfall and dashed off. “Swiftdarkness,” she meowed, “Can you look after the camp while I am gone?” she asked her silver fur slightly ruffled. Not waiting to hear if he said ’yes’ or not she dashed off and called, “Thanks!” to him.

Finding that Nightfall was at the Camp entrance, she padded up to her and grabbed the herbs she had told her to eat. Snoring down the fowl tasting leaves, she meowed, “Lets go.” Nightfall gave a frightened jerk, but them began to pad out of the camp. I must have scarred her, she is blind after all. Raifeather reminded herself. 

Padding outside of the IceClan territory, Nightfall preyed that no FireClan patrols would see them as they padded toward the moon pool. Rainfeather spooked me, I thought it was the cat that Murdered Eaglestar. She thought then shook the uneasy feeling from her soft black pelt. As Nightfall felt the cold night winds advance, she knew that the sun was just setting. “We left at the right time.” She meowed to Rainfeather, feeling a tiny bit awkward that her mother’s sister was becoming Leader of a Clan.

After padding alongside Rainfeather, she heard the familiar sound and smell of the moon pool. “Rainfeather,” she meowed quietly, “You must go there alone,” Turning her pale blue gaze to where she thought the distance was, she meowed, “I am not aloud to come in with you, nor are you aloud to tell any cat about what you experience in your dream.”

Rainfeather looked at Nightfall, worry shook her like a badger shook the ground. “Touch your nose to the water, then the cats of StarClan will come to you.” She meowed, then lay down and kept her gaze  on the setting sun. Giving Nightfall a curt nod, she padded into the beautiful area, she wondered what the experience would feel like. You will soon Find out. Leaning down to touch the star-filled water of the moonpool,  she steadied her feet and was curious if StarClan would even accept her. “I don’t know…” she meowed, and then touched her nose to the icy water, and fell deep into sleep.

Rainfeather padded into a sandy Clearing, she could scent cats from other Clans. Looking ahead she seen the deep blue sky, and a dabbed moon in the middle of it, everything was fully grown, and plentiful. Feeling a slight burst of confusion, Rainfeather called “Hello?” Beginning to pad forward, she looked in front of her to see all the bright specks in the sky swirl together to create a group of amazing cats. Rainfeather took a step back. “Whoa….” Was all she could meow when she stood in awe of the amazing sight many cats would never see. 

 “Rainfeather,” meowed a black flecked red tom as he padded out of the crowd, “I am here, to give you your first life.” Rainfeather’s ice blue eyes widened as she seen her brother stand in front of her. “Redstorm…?” she choked out, her panic and shock kept her unmoving on the ground. Redstorm was not thin and weak like he was when she had last seen him, he was strong and lithe, like he used to be before his dreadful sickness. “I am here to give you your first life, we are here because of Eaglestar’s death, and I am one of the most proud cats in StarClan that you are receiving a life from me, and becoming leader of the Clan I loved so so much….” Rainfeather nodded, “Rainfeather, I present you with the life of Courage and fearlessness. “ he continued, “Use it to claim and lead your Clan into battles meant to win.” Stepping back, Redstorm dipped his head.

Tears flooded through Rainfeather’s eyes as she realized that she would never see this cat again till her time to join the Ranks of StarClan.

All of the sudden something spiked through Rainfeather, she shrieked and fell to the ground quivering. Shaking, she looked up at the StarClan cats who looked happy. Another strike of pain shocked her, and she felt like she was going to die, right there. Then it came by relief. A warm hungry feeling came by her, hungry for battles, and winning for the courage and pride of her Clan. Feeling as if she could lead herself into a battle against the best of TigerClan, she sat up again, keeping her back strait and claws unsheathed as the forcefull life raced through her. Looking into her brother’s bright green eyes, she saw sadness flash though them. “Use it wisely,” he murmured then padded up to her to touch noses with her, then walked back to the group of StarClan cats, keeping his striking gaze on her. Dipping her head to the StarClan warrior, she looked forward to see the cat that would step up next.

 Timberfur padded over to Rainfeather and nodded to the soon to be leader. "With this life...I give you justice. Use this life to tell what's right and wrong and to do the best for your clan...even if it means breaking the warrior code." he stated and touched his nose to her head. Turning around he tilted his head to look at Rainfeather and she could see of his eye full of distress. Nodding his head again he went to his place and sat down.

Rainfeather felt the sadness flow off the old IceClan warrior, probably missing Ecohvoice. She thought right before the next life struck her.

Just as she thought, it did more forcefully than she thought. It ripped through her, like a badger’s claws ripping her fur. Shaking she ducked her head and fell again as the ferocity shot through her repetitively. Having the energy bolt through her, it felt like it was trearing her still. Unsheathing her long black claws into the soft gras.s, she winced at the last repetitive strike of angry pain.

Gasping, she steadied her icy blue gaze on the next cat that came up, she didn’t recognize this one. The cats crimson gaze rested on her, and she meowed, “Don’t you remember?” Rainfeather recognized the voice, but then the cat sat down in front of her. “My name is Ivynose,” she reminded her. Ivynose?  Then memories flooded back to her of what she had done to this poor cat. Here eyes were healed, and bright red like Dovefire’s, and her pelt was groomed to be a glossy star-filled grey striped white coat. “With this life, I give you endurance.” She meowed her deep gaze held to the sky, “Use it to withstand all the needs of your Clan.”

Preparing for the next life, Rainfeather couldn’t help but think it would be horrible feeling as the first two.

A light but sharp feeling spread throughout her body, making her feel strong, and capable of anything. She felt warmth, and hit the spark of wanting to run through all the fields of StarClan with the same wonderful feeling never wearing out.  The life ebbed away slowly, then Ivynose dipped down her head to touch noses with Rainfeather. “You will be a wonderful Clan leader, I am sorry about the things I believed and said about you.” She meowed, her light pelt shimmering and her crimson eyes glowing with tenderness. Turning, the she-cat padded away tot he group of pale lit StarClan cats.

Shimmering in the stars of Silverpelt, Leopardheart emerged from the group of gathered cats. His pelt glowed in a golden-hue, no silver like the others. It looked as though he swallowed the sun and his pelt had caught fire. True to his name, Leopardheart’s stripes and spots were as black as the darkest night and his golden, tan pelt was gleaming with health.

A regal air was in his movements as he padded forward with a confident ease. His head held high and his shoulders broadly set, Leopardheart’s topaz eyes were sharp and calculating. Dipping his head in respect, Leopardheart looked back up and blinked slowly, creating a pause. "Rainfeather," he meowed finally, in that familiar deep, honey-smooth rasp. "Under sad circumstances do we meet again."

Not one to dwell on the past or sadness, Leopardheart purred, "Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do." Pressing his nose to her forehead, Leopardheart meowed, "With this life I give you wisdom. Use it well to know when to listen to other or listen to your heart."

Stepping back, Leopardheart faded into the stars of Silverpelt.

ooc; Oh wait there is more.

Rainfeather looked up at the past deputy, amazed that he ever looked like that. Turning her head, she pelt the first waves of the life come upon her. This one felt different, but strange. The life became upon her, hurling thousands of images into her head as she lay on the ground in recent pain. Trying to get make some of them out Clearly, she struggled, and failed.

The life made her think of things more than she had done before.

Questions came to her mind as she wondered what was going to happen with the Clan and starvation. What she going to do? But answers came to her mind softly and her eyes narrowed in peace.

A beautiful she cat with a dark brown face and a creamy pelt face her as she padded out of the darkness of the night. Rainfeather remembered this face, Larkwing she knew it was her. Last time Rainfeather had seen her she had been matted with a sturdy coat of blood, and her blue eyes were stretched with pain after the fox had killed her. “Larkwing, I missed you..” meowed Rainfeather sadly. “I know, “ she meowed, her voice trickling into her mind. “But the time has come that I meet you on this glorious night,” she meowed. Rainfeather looked up at her, tried to sit up and heaved as hard as she could but fell back down.  Looking up she knew she would have to withstand 4 more lives.

“With this life, I give you Faith,” she meowed, her light sky blue eyes happy, yet sad. “Use it for the greatest leaps in life..”

Larkwing stepped back and the life unleashed itself, Rainfeather froze. Her faith in StarClan was always very true, but it felt unstoppable. She felt like the faith of her Clan determined everything. And it should. She added to herself, as the soft flowing life retreated. Rainfeather strained herself to get one more whiff of Larkwing’s scent but it was gone, like her.

Blackpaw slowly stepped forward, his heart heavy. Eaglestar is dead.... He lifted his chin, and walked towards Rainfeather. "In this life, I give you joy. Use the happiness and warmth of joy to heal your Clan from terrible depression." He went up to Rainfeather, and gently put his nose onto her shoulder. Then, stepping back, he rejoined the circle his StarClan catmates had made around the new leader.

“Thank you.” Meowed Rainfeather, as a light wave of happiness came from her black paws to her silver body, making it tingle with joy. She felt as if she could melt into the gra.ss. She closed her eyes happily When the next cat padded up.

The mist in the Clearing was washing away, as a golden lit tom cat padded up before Rainfeather. His ginger pelt was spotted with black, and his faze was black too. He sat down and rested his worried Crimson gaze on Rainfeather.  There is only one cat that looked like this. Rainfeather remembered. An emotional feeling spiked Rainfeather, just as hard as the first life.  “Yea, it’s me Rainfeather.” The cat meowed his voice deep and sad, “With this life, “ he began, “I give you Love,” Rainfeather winced when he meowed that, “Use it to protect the cats you care for.” He meowed. The cat turned his back and began to pad away on the soft green gra.ss , “Wait Dingofang,” meowed Rainfeather, “It couldn’t have been any-“  Dingofang cut her off, “It was, “ he meowed, “But I am a StarClan warrior, you have a Clan to lead. You never loved me, I accepted that now.” He meowed giving her one last stare and then padded off.

Jerking her head back she felt the life come onto her. It will probably feel like the last one. She thought. But it again to sting and stab through her, moving quicker and quicker each time. It felt like love for a Clan cat, and how hard it would be to sustain it. As it increased, Rainfeather’s eyes widened in pain at the emotional things this life touched. Digging her Claws into the ground, she winced a couple of times she felt a mother’s love for it’s kits. Strong and frequent, never stopping.  Ripping through her mind and heart she never felt anything so deeply savage.  Shivering as her silver neck-fur bristled, Rainfeather felt the life strike her once again and she cringed as it brutally finished.  Gasping, she looked around, her eyes narrowed to icy slits to see the next cat to walk up to her.

It was a tall she cat, Black with orange stripes, and very bright golden eyes. “Hello my daughter.”  She meowed, and Rainfeather caught that voice. “Hi Pheonixstar…” she coughed out.  Rainfeather grasped her sweet sweet scent in her nose, wishing it would stay forever. “With this life, I give you truth.” She meowed, “Use it to tell you Clan mates what they have confided in you.” She finished, and pressed her pink nose to Rainfeather’s head. “Lead your Clan mates like they have never been lead before.” She meowed before disappearing in the beautiful sparkling sky. Rainfeather closed her eyes, and felt a easy life begin to creep upon her. From head to tail tip, she felt a beautiful, unexplainable feeling.

Clan mates have lied to her before, but all that vanished in the strike of lightning. Rainfeather’s eyes were alive with fire as she stared confidently stared in front of her. All of the cats had a gleaming pride in there eyes. And Rainfeather knew that her name would be changed forever in just a couple moments.

The life had dismissed her, it wasn’t as strong as she had experience, but it was more important then the other lives that she received. One more left. Who will give it to me? She wondered, then seen the familiar creamy pelt of Eaglestar.

ooc; I know. >) HAHAH. Just Jokes.
