Chapter five
"So your ancestors; Starclan will really give you nine lives because you're leader" Flower said. They were all sitting in the clearing except for Flame's kits; whom were fast asleep in the nursery.
"Yes" Leafpool said. "If they accept him as leader"
"Will they accept you as leader?" Blue asked.
"Of course they will!" Scruff said determinedly.
"Don't worry Crowstar; I'll handle their training while you go receive your lives" Leafpool gave his ear a quick lick.
"I know you will Leafpool; I'll see you later. Good luck with the first day of your training" Crowstar said. He stood up and headed out of camp. Crowstar headed out of his territory and into Skyclan territory. He soon reached the moon cave; Echosong was sitting outside it.
"Good luck with your leader ceremony" she told him as he slipped inside. He merely nodded to her in response. He quickly found the side of the cave and pressed his nose to and slid to the floor. Soon he slipped into a deep sleep but was strangely cold. Crowstar opened his eyes to find that he was back in the Windclan camp.
"What?" Crowstar stood up and looked around.
"Welcome Crowfeather" an achingly familiar voice said. Crowstar turned to see Tallstar sitting calmly behind him; his old leader's eyes were filled with pride and happiness.
"Tallstar!" Crowstar mewed happily. Suddenly the stars above sank to the ground and became cats. Starclan had decided he would be a leader!
"It's good to see you Crowfeather; Though I had hoped you would be leader of Windclan one day. But I know you'll make a fine leader for Dawnclan" Tallstar stood up.
"Are you ready to receive your lives?" Tallstar asked.
"Yes" Crowfeather breathed; hardly believing he was about to receive his lives that would mark him as leader of Dawnclan.
Tallstar stepped forward till he was touching noses with Crowfeather. "I give you a life for mercy; remember if you kill a cat it'll make you less of a cat than them" a bolt of agony shot through Crowstar; he felt as if he had ran all the way from Dawnclan back to Windclan. Tallstar stepped away from him and sat back into the crowd. A dark brown tom stepped forward; Crowstar realized with a jolt that it was Mudclaw; the former deputy of Windclan before Tallstar had died.
He touched noses with Crowstar: "Don't be afraid to start a fight if it means protecting your clan; a give you a life for knowing when it's time to fight" once again a bolt of agony swept through him and Mudclaw went back to the crowd. His heart fluttered when he saw the next cat; a beautiful slivery she cat with blue eyes; Feathertail.
"Feathertail; I'm sorry about loving another cat but that doesn't mean I don't still care about you" Crowstar stammered as she approached.
"I give you a life for love; you can always love those who pass on but always live in the present with those who love you" Feathertail pressed her nose against his and he felt an overpowering sense of happiness; she pulled away all too soon for Crowstar. The next cats to give him lives were Deadfoot; the deputy of Windclan before Mudfur; he gave a life of loyalty; Gorsestar; the leader of Windclan when Skyclan still lived in the forest; and a young cat murdered by Brokenstar; he had given Crowstar a life for justice. Crowstar felt his paws trembling as the seventh cat approached. It was Barkface Windclan's old medicine cat.
"I give you a life for protecting the weak" Barkface touched his nose to Crowstar's and a bolt of energy surged through him. The last two cast were both from ancient Windclan; their lives were for training young cats and for knowing what's right. Tallstar stepped forward to face Crowstar again and purred:
"Crowstar!"
"Crowstar! Crowstar!" the rest of Starclan began to chant. Crowstar closed his eyes and let their yowls wash over him.
"I'm Crowstar; leader of Dawnclan; neighbor of Skyclan; I've listened to my heart and it's led me here" Crowstar murmured. "I promise to serve my clan the best of my ability"
