Yay I actually found time to write!

I'm super hype today since I won my basketball game. This makes me happy: The opposing team's varsity team was so jerky to us saying we can't shoot and then my teammate made a three and they shut up. Once that happened I couldn't stop smiling.

Okay I'm getting off topic.

Enjoy.

In Sunclan there is great distress because of their fallen leader and captured medicine cat. Robinclaw, soon to be Robinstar, has a lot in his pile.

"What will we do? You need to choose a new deputy and before that you need to become leader and before you can do that we need to find Darkstorm. He can then take care of Ivystar and then the clan won't fall apart and no one else will die right?" Says a worried Mapletuft.

"Everything is going to be fine. I'll just take Dovekit since she will likely be the new medicine cat apprentice and the I'll-" Robinclaw starts, but is then cut off.

"Then what? You can't take a kit out of camp. She also may not be the next medicine cat apprentice for all we know."

"You're definitely not taking my kit out of camp with Marshclan in our path to Brightstone. Dovekit is staying here whether you need her or not." Says Ashmist, mother of Dovekit.

"Do you think that any clan, even Marshclan, would attack a leader on the way to receive their nine lives?"

Ashmist opens her mouth to argue, but no words come out.

"I have to go as soon as I can. This clan needs a leader and that shall be me."

Robinclaw goes to the nursery to find Dovekit. She would become an apprentice very soon, so why would Ashmist be so worried? It's not like Dovekit was born yesterday. There is no doubt that though she's just a kit she's strong at heart and not afraid to voice her opinion.

"Dovekit will you accompany me to Brightstone?" Asks Robinclaw.

"Did something happen to Ivystar and Darkstorm?" Says Dovekit.

"How did you..."

"Well you are deputy and Darkstorm needs an apprentice so I figured that something happened to them otherwise they'd be going to Brightstone instead of us. But what I don't understand is why you would want me to go to Brightstone with you."

"Darkstorm has been observing all of the kits and..."

"Stalker!" Dovekit interrupts.

"As I was saying he has been observing all the kits to see who would be a suitable medicine cat apprentice. He thinks you would be a good choice so that's why I'm choosing you to come with me."

"Okay. I don't know much about what you're supposed to do before going though."

"Don't worry. I'll help since I've been before."

Dovekit and Robinclaw, soon to be Robinstar, set out for Brightstone. Robinclaw helps Dovekit but when Brightstone comes into view they stop talking. Now Robinclaw wishes that Darkstorm were here because he doesn't know what to do in order to share dreams with Starclan. When he walks in a blinding light shines and both cats turn away. What would he need to do?

Suddenly a voice in his head speaks.

Touch it.

What?

Touch the stone with your nose.

Okay...

Robinclaw obeys the mysterious voice.

Now lie down.

He does so, but very slowly.

Suddenly he sees the stars in the night sky but they are blurry. Once his vision clears he sees cats, some of which he recognizes, but most of them he doesn't. He can't believe his eyes.

The first cat to come up is an old friend of his named Spottedfur.

"With this life I bring you peace. You will need it when guiding your clan through tragic events."

The second cat to come up is Robinclaw's father Flamefur.

"With this life I bring you wisdom. You will need it when making some very hard decisions. Look before you leap, son."

There are so many things Robinclaw wants to say to his father but before he can say any of them, another cat approaches him.

The next six lives feature many important cats in his life. A few notable ones are Silverfur, Robinclaw's mother Gingerpelt, and Robinclaw's brother Redpaw.

Finally the last cat approaches, Ivystar.

"I hail you now by the new name of Robinstar. You have received your nine lives just like the leaders before you have. Your old life is gone now. Starclan makes you the new guardian of Sunclan. Remember to care for both the young and old and honor your ancestors in Starclan. Live by the warrior code and live each life with dignity. However I must warn you of something. The darkest times the clan will endear are coming, but you must hold out for the good times."

"Darkest times? But I just became leader! I can't handle that kid of thing! Not yet at least."

"Then you can consider this your first test as leader."

"Why so soon? Why can't I have some time to settle into the whole 'leader' thing?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that.

Before you leave... Tell Darkstorm I say hello."
