Epilogue

Robinstar stood on the Sky Ledge, scanning her clan, beaten and bloody. She half-slid, half-fell down the steps; ready to check on all the cats that were lying in the clearing. A low wail of grief rang around the camp

"Grayshadow!"

Snakewhisk, a young warrior, was hunched over a gray and black cat, and her heart broke in two at the sight of the tom grieving over his dead mate. Suddenly, Snakewhisk looked up, eyes wide in surprise, heading to the spare den. Now it was her turn to grieve. She looked down at the body of the young warrior Grayshadow, but something was off. Moonlight was facing Grayshadow, both were dead. Shadowblaze, the tom who had taken one of her lives, was lying there, dead behind Moonlight. Slowly, her mind pieced it together.

Moonlight had succeeded in killing her sister, but Shadowblaze had attacked and killed Moonlight before dying of his own wounds. She was snapped out of her thinking when a thin mewl rang around the camp, echoing in the silence. It startled everyone; multiple cats looked up when Snakewhisk crawled out of the den, carrying a mewling ball of fur in his jaws. The tom set the kit down, lowering his head to lick her between the ears, "Grayshadow gave birth to her kits while we didn't know, and this was the last one alive." The tom had a pained look in his eyes, the words causing him grief. Then he murmured, "Her name is Snowykit." Robinstar felt a tug in her chest, and she shivered, heading towards the medicine cat's den, she was on her last life, and if she wounds got infected, then it would be over. When she entered, she nearly choked at what she saw. Dovefeather was lying on her side, dead. She needed to perform the deputy ceremony immediately; she felt something would happen soon as the tug in her chest strengthened.

She let her voice ring around the hollow, "Cats of RainClan, we grieve for our dead, but a new deputy must be appointed. I say these words over the body of Dovefeather." She looked at the brown tom with the young kit between his legs, "Snakewhisk, will you do the honor of being my deputy?"

His head shot up, shock clear in his eyes, before replying, "It would be a great honor, Robinstar. I will accept the position."

~time skip~

Snakewhisk sighed, Robinstar's wounds were severe, and the she-cat was ailing, clinging onto the last thread of her life. He had been deputy for only a quarter-moon, and each day Robinstar got worse. He paced around the medicine cat's den, waiting for Graceflower to announce Robinstar's condition.

He jumped when Graceflower finally emerged, a defeated look in her eyes, "Robinstar has gone to join our ancestors."

Snakewhisk's eyes widened, a low groan escaped his lips. He was too young to lead.

She turned to him, "You are our new leader. The gathering will be tomorrow night; we must go immediately to get your nine lives." Snakewhisk could only nod numbly, so many cats had died in their past battles, and now Robinstar was dead.

The camp was so small now, the only other cats being Rowanflame, Graceflower, Ambergaze, Leopardleaf, Windheart, and Bramblestorm. Windheart's kits were to be apprenticed in a few days. Blackstream was in the nursery, caring for Snowykit and Creekkit, who was Feathermist's kit. Brokenwing had joined Whiskerstone in the elder's den, and now he was their new leader.

He took in a breath, "Let's go."

~time skip 2~

Snakewhisk stood in front of the tall tree, eyeing the deep scratches in the bark. Graceflower mewed, "Climb up the tree and sleep, and your ancestors will speak to you." Snakewhisk didn't say anything, only hauled himself up the tree. He curled up in the branches, closing his eyes to sleep.

Snakewhisk opened his eyes to see a starry clearing. Nine stars twinkled in front of him, slowly spreading into the shapes of cats. Stars shimmered in their eyes, a glowing light surrounded their whole bodies, fur shiny and elegant.

They all spoke at the same time, "Welcome, Snakewhisk. Are you ready to receive your nine lives?"

Snakewhisk swallowed hard, "Yes."

The first cat stepped forward. She was a small white she-cat, her paws and face tinted gray. She mewed, "My name is Haiku, you may not know who I am, but we are well acquainted" She touched her nose to his, "I give you a life of acceptance, use it to cherish others, and make sure no cat is looked down upon." Pain wracked through his body, and he gritted his teeth. Feelings of familiar sights coursed through him, ears getting torn, being thrown from the ground, a heavy, crushing weight. Then it was all over, and he was left a trembling mess.

He winced, How am I going to survive eight more?

A blue-gray tom stepped forward, his eyes glowing in pride.

Snakewhisk choked out, "S-Stormbird?" (I didn't mention this, but stormy is snake, ivy, and bramble's dad)

Stormbird purred, "It is I" He quickly touched noses with his son, "I give you the life of strength. Use it to win battles for your clan, to stay on all four paws no matter what happens." The pain in this life wasn't as severe as the other, and he shut his eyes and endured it. Blood roared in his ears as he heard the shrieking and snarling of battle.

He opened his amber eyes, feeling new-found strength fill through him. Stormbird stepped back and another cat came forward.

Ivypaw.

The gray-and-white she-cat looked at him, her green eyes twinkling in amusement. She craned her neck forward, bumping his nose roughly, "With this life I give you humor, use it to be a good and fun leader." This life didn't hurt at all, he was filled with warm and bubbly happiness. Ivypaw bounded back to the cats, her tail swishing. He didn't see the next cat.

A high-pitched squeak came from below him, "Down here!"

A scruffy dark gray kit looked up at him, her amber eyes wide and star-filled. Snakewhisk crouched down, and the tiny kit bumped his nose, stumbling. She squeaked, "With this life I give you a determination, use it to care for your clan, you are a like a parent to all of them."

A fierce ferocity rushed through him, and a scene came through his mind.

He was crouching down, protecting something from an enemy. An invisible one. Rage and anger raced through his whole body.

He was snapped out of his trance as quickly as it came.

He closed his eyes; there were five more to go.

A tail brushed his muzzle, and a sandy she-cat looked at him, her eyes bright.

He whispered, "Robinstar?"

Robinstar just gave a nod, touching his nose. She whispered, "With this life, I give you bravery. Use it to tackle down the strongest of your enemies." Pain coursed through him, as if it were all the pain he and his clanmates had endured all in one, wearing down his pelt to a bloody mess. When he opened his eyes, the pain faded to a tolerable ache.

Four more.

A black tome stepped forward, and it was hard to resist a deep growl. It was Shadowblaze.

His eyes shone with understanding, and he dipped his head, "I regret everything I did, but, accept this life, for your clan." The black tom quickly touched his nose, "With this life, I give you loyalty; use it to keep your clan in check, and to not betray them in any way."

Pride rushed through him, giving energy to every part of his body. But then regret weighed heavily down on him, as if something were pulling him back. The illusion quickly faded away.

Three more to go.

Two black and gray she-cats stepped forward, twin amber eyes. The first one touched his nose, "My name is Petalwhisker, I give you a life of appreciation. Accept whatever you get, don't shrug off a small bit of prey if it's 'too small'. Appreciate everything you get, even if it only lasts a while."

The other stepped forward, "I'm Embercloud, surely you're familiar with me." She touched his nose, leaving a cold feeling, "With this life, I give you wits. Make sure you're quick and not too arrogant. Don't be tricked by anything."

Snakewhisk felt the rush of battle, dodging an enemy's sharp claws and snapping teeth. With one quick blow, his enemy was sent running across the border.

This was his last life, he knew.

The last cat stepped forward, five tiny kits jumped around her paws, and a purr rumbled in her throat. It was Grayshadow. Snakewhisk nearly choked, new grief flooding through him. She walked forward elegantly, even though the kits were jumped around her paws. Love filled her eyes, and she touched noses with him. She purred, "With this life, I give you love, use it to care for every cat that will ever come your way." Pain filled him; agony ripped a screech from his throat.

Grayshadow whispered, "Endure it."

The pain didn't go away, he was feeling everything

He didn't realize what it was until his right ear was being torn. He was experiencing all the pain that Grayshadow had felt in her life.

Several emotions coursed through him.

Anger, Greif, Betrayal, Depression, Insanity, and finally, Love.

Then it stopped, it came to a sudden halt, and he finally managed to open his eyes.

All the cats stood in front of him.

They meowed in sync, "You are now Snakestar, and your old life is no more. You are the leader of RainClan."

Chanting filled the clearing, more StarClan cats emerged from the trees, "Snakestar! Snakestar!"

Snakestar opened his eyes, dawn light filtered through the tree's branches.

He jumped down from his roost, Graceflower following.

He was Snakestar, leader of RainClan, and he would lead his clan to the fullest.

~Gray P.O.V~

Grayshadow watched the newly named Snakestar fade away, as she sat contentedly with her kits jumping around her.

Howlkit, the youngest, mewed, "Mama?"

She purred, "Yes, son?"

He looked up at her, blue eyes wide, "Can you tell us a story?"

All her kits stopped tussling and crowded to the front of her, "Yeah! Tell us a story! Please?"

She purred, "Alright."

"It all started on one leaf-fall night…"
