Description: Do a leader ceremony. Explain the purpose of each life. Use OCs
Frostfang walked quickly down the path to Moontree with her best friend, Shimmerstream, also the medicine cat of Rainclan, beside her. The events that had just happened consumed her thoughts.
"Silverstar," urged Frostfang "You have to get to safety."
"No." stated Silverstar firmly "If Fireclan wants a measly sparrow to cause a war, than I will defend my clan."
"But this is one of your last lives," said Frostfang "Go with the kits, you'll be safer."
"NO."
If Frostfang had known it had been her last life, she never would had let her go.
"We're here," said Shimmerstream stopping in front of a huge tree that seemed to glow in the moonlight.
"Okay." said Frostfang "How do I do this."
"Just climb the tree," answered Shimmerstream "Then fall asleep."
Frostfang did this and tried her best to get comfortable on the tree branch as she prepared
for her meeting with Starclan
"Welcome Frostfang," said a familiar voice.
"Silverstar," exclaimed Frostfang "I am so sorry, if only I had known that you only had one life-"
"Don't be sorry," said Silverstar with a flick of her tail "I was old and it was going to happen anyway. But now is not the time for the past, it is time for you to receive your nine lives."
For the first time, Frostfang looked beyond her fallen leader and out to the other cats. More cats than she could count stood behind Silverstar. Some she knew, some she didn't. Young, old, big, small.
An old cat walked forward.
"Mom!" exclaimed Frostfang as Dawnflarel stepped up
"With this life I give you fierce protection," said Dawnflare "Use it well to protect all those you care for."
Dawnflare walked forward and put her nose on Frostfang's. As she did, the rush of energy she felt in the midst of a battle started up in her. Her mother took her place with the rest of the cats behind her and another familiar face stepped up. Frostfang's former mentor Snowwish walked up.
"With this life I give you the ability to offer second chances." said Snowwish "Use it well and give it to others, even if they need it over and over again."
Snowwish pressed her nose to Frostfang and she felt repeated flashes of pain. Snowwish walked away as another cat took her place. Frostfang's best friend Whiteleaf, stepped up. She had died in the process of her kitting and it was wonderful to see her again. However, before she could meow a greeting, Whiteleaf started to speak
"With this life I give you the ability to never lose hope," said Whiteleaf "Use it so that even in times of darkness, you will have hope theat there is always a better ending."
This time, instead of the pain from earlier, Frostfang felt pure hope. Hope that at the end of the battle, a glorious victory awaited her. Frostfang looked back up to find her friend from Fireclan. Emberclaw had been one of Frostfang's close friends and one of the first casualties of the war.
"With this life I give you the gift of loyalty." said Emberclaw "Use this to make sure you spend your dying breath with loyalty to your clan."
As Emberclaw touched her nose to Frostfang, a searing pain swept through out her. She couldn't breath but felt an odd sense of determination. She looked back up, or in this case down, to see a small kitten had taken her friends place.
"Flamepaw? said Frostfang questioningly "Oh I've missed you so much."
"With this life I give you courage," said Flamepaw "Use it to have the courage to do what you feel is right."
Frostfang had to bend over so her former apprentice could give her the next life. Then she wished she hadn't. Pain and bravery. Mostly pain. She felt the brave decision of pushing Frostfang out of the way of an incoming monster. She felt the pain of the aftermath. Flamepaw bounced away and someone else took her place. It was Fernfur, the former deputy. He had died after a long battle with greencough that had kill much of the clan.
"With this life I give you strength," said Fernfur "Use it well to be strong in battle but a strong leader as well."
Frostfang felt like she was being clawed at but she stood strong and tall, like a leader should. As Fernfur walked away, Ashfall took her place. Ashfall was the strongest warrior in Rainclan. However, somehow in the battle another warrior outwitted him.
"With this life I give you intelligence," said Ashfall "Use it so that you will always remember, even the strongest can be outsmarted."
Frostfang felt the claws just like earlier but this time with out the strength. Ashfall walked away and someone Frostfang was not expecting walked up. Lightningstar of Fireclan stepped up. The cat responsible for the war.
"With this life I give you peace," said Lightingstar "Use it so you know that war is not always the answer. Don't make the same mistake I did."
Frostfang felt calm. She felt at peace. She looked up to see Silverstar.
"With this life I give you good understanding," said Silverstar "Use it to understand the mistakes or choices that others make."
This time, Frostfang didn't really feel anything, pain or peace.
"I hail you by your new name, Froststar." said Silverstar "Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of Rainclan. Defend it well, care for young and old, honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code live each life with pride and dignity."
The chorus of the Starclan cats rose up chanting her new name
"Froststar, Froststar, Froststar."
