Frostfur and Blossomflower padded along side each other along the thunder path until It was time to cross."Now we wait until night fall." Blossemflower said. After what seemed like an eternity the sun disappeared behind the horizon."Lets go now." Blossemflower said.
A musty, humid scent entered Frostfurs nostrils. He couldn't see Blossemflower walking less than a tail length in front of him it was so dark. They entered a cave with a huge boulder in the middle of it. Star light sparkled off the cave floor like a million diamonds. The moon rose over the hole in the cave roof and illuminated the rock. Neither Blossemflower or Frostfur said anything. They were at a loss for words.
"Go forward and touch your nose to the rock. Starclan will give you your nine lives." Blossemflowers tone broke and saddened when she said "nine lives.'Frostfur did what he was told.
I blink open my eyes and I'm suddenly in a clearing. Four cats entered my field of vision.
"Skystar!"
"Greetings Frostfur. You will lead the clan well through the troubling times ahead of you. With this life I give you loyalty for what you know to be right."
Pain rips through my body like I have never felt before. I feel as if my very soul is being ripped in half, torn between one thing and another. When the pain subsides a spotted cat pads forward.
"You do not remember me, but I gave you milk when your mothers did not come."
"My mother was more thankful than I can tell you for what you did for us."
The spotted cat nodded than said"My name is Firestripe. With this life I give you compassion for those weaker than you."
A gentle pain like the waves of a calm ocean poured over me. The need to fight is all but completely lost within me for the orange and white cat strutted forward.
"I fought and saved your brothers life from a Dewclan warrior. My name is Featherheart. With this life I give you Courage to help through dark times." Her eyes darkened and her tone turned and strength filled me.
I sheathed my claws and a fierce snarl ripped through my teeth.
A light gray and black cat walked forward next."I was mentor to Blossemflower. My name is Cinderdust. With this life I give you Tireless energy so you can serve your clan to utmost."
Exhaustion overcame me but I still felt iron determination to serve my clan.
"There is one more matter to attend you before we give you your name" Cinderdust paused then continued "Four will become one, enemies will unit against the blood thirsty brothers only to have the cat who mattered the most to all trapped forever."
"I don't understand…." I four cats spoke together voices filling the clearing " From now on, your name will be Froststar!"I woke up tired and confused.
