The medicine cat apprentice Littlecloud led Tigerclaw to the big cave. Tigerclaw ran inside of it and Littlecloud slowly followed him inside. Tigerclaw turned his head to Littlecloud. "What do I do?" Tigerclaw asked. "Just touch the Moonstone with your nose and go to sleep." The brown medicine cat replied. Tigerclaw slowly walked to the Moonstone. He touched it with his nose. A jolt of cold hit him, but as soon as it started, it was over. Tigerclaw curled up beside the Moonstone and fell asleep.
Tigerclaw walked around in a dark forest. Lots of dark pine trees surrounded him. Tigerclaw walked around, looking for an exit of the pine trees. Tigerclaw felt how hollow the land was. This meant that the pine trees were on a cliff, and Tigerclaw was on the cliff. He started running at the speed of wind. The only thing he heard was his paws hitting the ground. The cliff ended, and Tigerclaw leaped off of it. Possibly, enough pressure when he landed would wake him up. Tigerclaw landed again, but this time, he was in a forest similar to the ThunderClan forest. He saw a big lake ahead of him. The dark tabby slowly padded into the lake and sat on a rock in it. There was another rock in front of him, but it was pale gray. Tigerclaw noticed a ripple in the water, and it started growing. Dark shadows of cats were surrounding him.
"Good evening, Tigerclaw." Voices of cats meowed. "Congratulations on becoming leader of ShadowClan. Your life givers area here. We could not get you to Fourtrees to receive your lives, but we gave you a different setting." Tigerclaw looked around with wide, astonished eyes. Tigerclaw didn't want to admit it, but he did love the setting. "This is the Liferock. The cats that will give you your nine lives with sit on this rock." Tigerclaw felt cats put their presence at the pale gray stone. "Are you ready to recieve your nine lives?" The voices asked. Tigerclaw nodded. "Yes. I am ready." The soon-to-be ShadowClan leader looked at the Liferock and waited.
