I'm updating early! I wasn't going to update this until, like, next year, but I decided to update now! There's better writing, a different plot, and so on, but I definitely think it is much improved upon the first version of this. Enjoy!

Prologue
"Touch your nose to the Moonpool, Ivyheart," the medicine cat, Pebbleshade mewed. Ivyheart nodded and crouched to touch the Moonpool. When she felt the cool touch of rock she closed her eyes and was whisked away into cold blackness, feeling like a cat made of ice.
When she opened her eyes she saw a clearing with tall trees.
"Where am I?" she breathed in wonder as the stars began to fall towards her.
"You're in Starclan Ivyheart," a cat mewed behind her
"Who are you?" she asked as the stars turned to cats.
"We are Starclan," the warrior ancestors mewed. A cat that Ivyheart didn't recognize stepped forward from the crowds of ancient clan cats.
"I am called Snowpeak. I give you a life of joy so that you may always see joy in your life even at the clan's darkest times," the white tom said as he touched her nose with his. A bolt of searing pain when through her body but also a feeling of happiness when it had faded. Another cat stepped forward.
"Twigpelt! Oh I thought I would never see you again!" she said as she padded forward to greet her mate who had died of greencough.
"Ivyheart! I'm so happy to see you! I give you a life of love so that you will protect your clanmates with all the love of a mother," he mewed.
Instead of dreading the pain that came, she relished the feeling of the new life that her mate had given.
When he pulled away to join Snowpeak, she saw that the next cat was Windclan's former leader, Dawnstar.
"I knew you had a great destiny the moment I laid eyes on you at your first gathering as a warrior. I now give you a life for faith and hope for your warrior ancestors. With this gift you will never feel alone," the pretty light brown she-cat mewed, touching her nose to Ivyheart's. Instead of pain she felt the touch of other pelts walking beside her in Thunderclan's forest. Her warrior ancestors! She truly felt that Dawnstar was right, and that she would always have her ancestors for guidance. The next cat was another cat that she did not know.
"I am Spirit. I was not a warrior but I believed in Starclan. I knew your father well. I give you a life for knowledge. Use this gift to gain victory, but I also give you this gift so that you may understand our signs when you need to most." Ivyheart felt a sense of knowing as he gave her a fourth life. The fifth cat was her mother, Lightflower.
"I'm so proud of you," she whispered, "I give you a life of energy so you can lead your clan efficiently and and for many moons to come."She touched her nose to Ivyheart's. Another bolt of pain went through her as her exhaustion increased.
The next cat was her father, Redblaze. "I give you a life for fairness so that your judgement will never be swayed or clouded." As their noses made contact she braced herself for pain. She felt pain, but her head also felt clearer than it had ever been with nothing to distract her father joined the other five cats she saw that the next cat was her son, Stormkit, who died of greencough.
"I give you a life for fun, so that your cats can have fun even when they do the hardest tasks and so clan life never gets dull!" Ivyheart had to bend down to touch noses with the kit. She felt a light, humorous feeling that she had not felt before. She almost collapsed as the tiny warrior pulled away. The tom that greeted her next was her mentor, Pinefur.
"I give you a life for strength so that you are capable of defeating any enemy," he meowed. Again she felt lightning go through her but this time she had the strength to bear it. The ninth cat was Thunderclan's former leader, Sunnystar. The golden tom walked through the rows of their warrior ancestors.
"I give you a life for generosity so you can share and never make the wrong decision from selfishness." For the ninth time she felt weak from pain and ready to explode of the fullness she felt from receiving her nine lives. Sunnystar stepped back in line with the other cats that had given her lives as they called her by her new name,Ivystar.
"Ivystar! Ivystar! Ivystar!"
"Thank you for the lives and I promise to be the best leader I can be for Thunderclan!" she yowled. As the starclan cats left the clearing, Ivystar heard a voice behind her It is time for you to go back to your clan, Ivystar," said Pebbleshade.
"Okay, I'm ready," she meowed. However, when she turned around she came face to face with a scraggly old tom. She jumped at the sight of him.
"Fires will rage and darkness shall rule, but keep hope. Storms of rain can always aid you," he hissed before fading.
