Prologue
Snowpelt trotted beside the moonpool. She was anxious, mournful, and happy all at once. Mistystar had just lost her ninth life trying to retrieve a kit that had crossed over the thunderpath into RiverClan territory.
The ShadowClan kit, Leafkit, was exploring his territory after sneaking out of the camp. A RiverClan patrol consisting of Mistystar, Snowpelt, and Ashwhisker was fortunately passing by as Leafkit stepped on to the smooth, black, pathway for monsters. A bright red one was about to whip by and hit the young kit before Mistystar shoved him out of the way and took the blow herself.
Snowpelt didn't like to remember this, even though she wasn't particularly close to the leader. Everyone still grieved for her, even warriors from the other three clans. She will be remembered long after this moon Snowpelt thought, she was noble, she was brave, and I can't believe that I am going to be taking her place from here on...
She dunked her muzzle into the pool as an attempt to get the bloody death out of her cold water made Snowpelt flinch at first, but then she drifted off to sleep. StarClan came to her quickly granting, her the nine lives even faster. At first she suspected that the fallen warriors did not trust her to become leader, but that made little sense, so she pushed the thought to the back of her mind. She was eventually given the reason for why she got the lives so quickly: A prophecy. She still wondered why her ancestors seemed so desperate to give it to her. It didn't seem very important to the moment...
A friend of midnight,I wonder who... A loyal newcomer, Maybe a kit..? And a warrior without a name- Snowpelt knew none of those. Every warrior had a name... -Will rise to defeat one who is not what she seems.
Author's Note: This story didn't describe the nine lives given to Snowpelt/star very well because we weren't sure how to capture it very well... Might rewrite this chapter... I'm sorry for having a long author's note, but, let me tell you, not every chapter will be as short and uninteresting. The plot is complete, and the only reason that this doesn't have a high relevance is because I didn't write this out with Joon. If you came here from our channel and kept looking back at fanfiction, here it is 3 years later.
