After about an hour of being at the moonpool with Lionblaze; Jayfeather came out and announced to his brother that he was ready to go home. Starclan had announced that Graystripe would become the new leader. They would have to go back to the clan to let them know what had happened then Jayfeather and Graystripe would make their way to the moonpool. They would leave for the moonpool at sunset so that Graystripe could receive his nine lives then be known as Graystar. Graystripe already knew who his deputy would be. That evening while the clans were going out on a sunset patrol Graystripe and Jayfeather made their way towards the moonpool. There was going to be a gathering within the next few days so the clans would find out about Firestar and Brambleclaw.
When it was ready to go to the moonpool Graystripe seemed nervous. He knew it was semi set up. What if starclan refused to give him the nine lives? What if they decided to not even acknowledge the Thunderclan cats at all. Would they become loners and rogues forced to roam the wild alone
."Are you ready?" Jayfeather questioned turning to Graystripe, snapping him not of his thoughts. Garystripe grunted a yes and the two cats made their way to the moonpool.
"Drink some of the water." Jayfeather motioned Graystripe towards the water. Graystripe slowly lapped the water then layed his head down and began to drift off to Graystripe fell asleep cats began to form among him. He was surprised to see that Firestar and Brambleclaw were not among them, but Bluestar, Cinderpelt, Spottedleaf, Lionheart, Redtail, Yellowfang, Swiftpaw and two other warriors that he did not recognize were waiting to give him his live.
"Greetings Graystripe." Bluestar the former leader purred." I will be giving you your first life but I can see questions in your eyes you are wondering why Firestar and Brambleclaw are not with us in starclan well you see they walk a different path because of the choices they had made. you will learn of this sooner or later. After you have received your lives go back to the clan and name Longtail as your Deputy. When Longtail refuses because he is sightless and therefore no help to the clan your next choice will be Daisy." With that she gave him his first life.
After he received all his lives he and Jayfeather walked back to the camp in silence. Tomorrow Graystripe would announce Longtail as his new deputy. He only hoped that Longtail would leave the elders den and stop mourning Mousefur long enough to become deputy. There was no way he would want Daisy to be leader if something happened to him, she was more a burden than help. He had no idea why but starclan had chosen Longtail to be the deputy so that meant they knew what they were doing.
Meanwhile back at the camp several cats were waiting up for Graystripes return they were eager to find out who the new deputy would be. As soon as they got back he jumped onto high ledge and made the announcemnt that Longtail would be the deputy if he would accept his role. But he also let them know that if Longtail refused the role as deputy then the role would go to Daisy. It was starclans choice and he was not one to go against starclan.
Authors note: Would longtail agree? O and sorry but I like Longtail so I changed it to where the tree fell on and killed Mousefur sorry all you Mousefur fans out there but longtail is so much better than her. READ AND REVIEW
