The moon was shining brightly in the sky, the wind whooshing around wildly as prey-cease was coming in. Out of the bushes nearby came two hedgehogs, one male, and one female. Up ahead was what looked like a set of mountains, but was really just a very tall hill, with a kind of cave on top of it. Now these hedgehogs weren't regular hedgehogs. They stood like humans, and they did wear some type of clothing. These were Mobian hedgehogs, but they lived in the wild. The male was a blue and peach hedgehog, and the female was an eagle brown and white hedgehog.

"Eaglefern…" The male asked, his voice uneasy. "Do you think I'm ready for this…?" "Of course you are, Blizzardheart." The female replied. "Creamstar wouldn't have made you co-alpha if you weren't ready." He sighed, and they went on up the hill, and into the cave. Inside, it was very dark. Instinctively, both hedgehog's eyes became a wolf's yellow to see well. Just ahead, there were large crystals coming up from the floor, with a star shape carved into it. It was where all Alphas came to get their ten lives.

"Alright, Blizzardheart," Eaglefern said. "You know what to do." In response, the blue hedgehog settled down, touched the tip of his nose to the crystal, and fell asleep almost instantly.

He was floating in nothingness, alone and afraid. Should this be happening? He thought. Then, he started seeing a light. That light grew so bright that it nearly blinded him. When he opened his eyes, he was in a beautiful clearing, with stars all around. At once, ten wolf spirits appeared, all of their pelts full of stars.

Blizzardheart recognized most of them at once. He knew Pumaheart, Silverstorm, Cedarcub, Vilepaw, and Berryleaf. The other five he didn't know that quickly. A young cedar-colored female wolf walked up to Blizzardheart. "Cedarcub…." Blizzardheart whispered, recalling how she had died because of an outbreak of illness, called darkcough. The young cub had been too weak to stand the sickness, since she was the weakest of them all. But now, she was living in peace along with her Clanmates.

She stood on her hind legs, and touched her muzzle to his forehead. "I give you this life of understanding." She said. "Take this life and use it when you need it most, and understand when something has gone wrong, that we will always be with you." Blizzardheart gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as the first-given life burst into him, feeling like lightning going through him. Cedarcub stepped back, and a black and green Learner, Vilepaw, took her place.

The young Learner did the same thing, but said, "I give you this life of fierceness. Use it to protect your Clan from anything harmful, anything or anyone that might destroy it."

A gray and white male wolf with dark gray ears, Silverstorm, stepped up. He repeated the process. "I give you this life of nobility. Use it to encourage your Clan, and even to encourage yourself."

A wood brown tom-cat with a spike-like fur at the end of his tail, Timbertail stepped into his place. "I give you this life of patience. Always use it, especially when trouble comes around."

A black puma with tufts on the tip of his ears, Pumaheart, stepped into his place. "I give you this life of curiosity. Use it wisely."

A light pink and red spotted female rabbit, Berryleaf, replaced him. "I give you this life of healing. When one is going through something harsh, and can't shake it, use it to make them feel better than before." Oddly, Blizzardheart didn't flinch when she had come up to him. In fact, it felt soft and sweet, like a marshmallow.

A tall dark brown she-cat with long fangs and a long tail, Spiderfang, came up next. "I give you this life of concentration. Use it when you must only do things one at a time.

A gray and dark grey speckled male fox, Specklepelt, came up after her. "I give you this life of swift thinking. Use it when your clan needs it most."

He waited for the last one, and he couldn't believe it: a light cream and white-bellied female hedgehog came up to him. "Creamstar…" Blizzardheart breathed. The hedgehog smiled at him, and finished off the ritual. "I give you this life of love and trust. You know how to use both." At last, a dark blue star shape appeared on Blizzardheart's forehead. He was no longer Blizzardheart; he was now Blizzardstar.

"Blizzardstar! Blizzardstar!" The angels chanted in unison. So this is what it feels like, He thought as they chanted. To become a leader. The angels all disappeared, all but Creamstar. "Now," She said. "I have something to show you. Come with me."

Soon, the two hedgehogs reached a dark land, with buildings and forests shattered and in ruins. Blizzardstar nearly froze with fear at what he saw. "C-Creamstar…." He stuttered. "What-"The former leader silenced him with a gentle flick. Some of the smoke gathered in front of them, and started to make shapes. One of them was an unforgettable shape, one of Blizzardstar's arch enemies back at where he came from. "Eggman!" He growled. But then, the smoke melted into two other shapes. One of them looked like a monkey's head, and another was a group of cats, their pelts seeming to melt.

But then, a light overcame them all. That light melted into three shapes: One was a fox, another was a flame colored tomcat, and the last one was-to Blizzardstar's surprise-himself!

"Danger is coming, Blizzardstar. To your home now, and from when you were taken from your friends. These three enemies with merge together, but three lights will also assemble together." Creamstar explained. She closed her eyes, and she said these very words: "Three shadows will emerge, but the three lights will follow. They will try, but never win." And with that Creamstar started to fade.

"Creamstar, wait!" Blizzardstar tried to get her attention, but he was too late, as the female had faded completely. The smoke from earlier rose as the light disappeared, and started to swirl around him, starting from the ground up. He tried to run, but he found his feet were glued to the ground. "No…NO!" He screamed. The smoke had gotten up to his arms, and started going past. "NOOOOO!" He screamed once more as he was engulfed by the smoke altogether.

Blizzardstar jerked awake. He was still in the den, lying by the StarCrystal. He sighed with relief, grateful that he had woken up. The prophecy rang in his ears. Three shadows will emerge, but the three lights will follow. They will try, but never win.

But…Blizzardstar wondered. I don't know what it means…
