Mistystar's nine lives

I padded to the moonpool. I was soon to be Mistystar leader of Riverclan. Mothwing nodded encourgement when I laied down by the moonpool. I did what she instructed me to and then it happened. There I was still at the Moonpool, but now other cats surrounded it. I looked to see Graypool my adoptive mother, Crookedstar my uncle, Oakheart my father, Silverstream my best friend and cousin, Feathertail Silverstream's daughter and my former apprentice, Stonefur my beloved brother, a gray and white kit I did not know, Bluestar my mother who I hardly got to know, and of course Leopardstar my former leader and one of the best leader I knew. Feathertail was the first one to pad up to me. She meowed "With this live I give you mentoring. Use it well to the young cats in your clan. I always knew you would be a great leader." Pain sered through me, but then exciment took over me. It was like the exciment you felt when you get an apprentice.

Next was Silverstream. She purred and meowed "You will make a wonderful leader." Mistyfoot purred. With this life I give you faith use it whenever your clan comes into trouble. I always had faith in you." A nice feeling went through me this time only a little speck a pain came. Next was Graypool. She didn't look like an elder she looked like a young and healthy warrior. I purred. Graypool smiled "Im very proud of you." "Thank you Graypool. Thank you so much." Graypool nodded and meowed "With this life I give you protection. Use it to protect like a mother protectes her kits." Horrible pain surged through me. I wanted to yowl, but I couldn't. When the pain stopped Graypool meowed "I was proud when I was your mother."

Then it was the young kits turn. "I am Mosskit your sister I died when Bluestar gave us to are father. I hold no grudge through." "Your my sister?" I couldn't believe it, but it was true. "With this life I give you humor. You will know when to use it." Happiness surged through me. Next was Stonefur. "Stonefur! I never thought I would see you again!" I meowed "You where obviously mistaken." Stonefur meowed gently "With this life I give you courage. I know you will use it well." More pain surgred through me. I bit my lip.

Crookedstar came up to me. "With this life I give you justice. Use it well young one." Pain surgerd through me again, but not as much. Then it was Oakheart my father. "I am very, very proud of you." Oakheart meowed. I purred again. "With this life I give you pride. Have pride in your clan and yourself." I felt nothing, but really pride going through me.

Leopardstar padded to me. "You will be a worthy susceeder." she meowed. She did not look frail, she looked like healthy warrior. "With this life I give you nobility. Be noble for your clan." Great pain seeped through me. I thought Is this what feels like to be noble? The last was my mother Bluestar. She padded up to me, so much love in her eyes. "I love you so much Mistyfoot. I always will. With this life I give you love. Use it for all your clanmates." This one was the best life I got. It felt so warm. "I give you your new name Mistystar. You have now earned the nine lives of a leader. Starclan has trusted you with Riverclan's guardinship. Defend it well care for the young and old." "Mistystar, Mistystar, Mistystar!" The starclan cats called out. I smiled. When I woke up I saw Mothwing she was not next me. "You werent with me!" I gasped "I have different beliefs then you, but that doesnt make me any less of a medicine cat." Mothwing meowed "You dont believe in Starclan?" I was shocked. Mothwing held my gaze,and i gave a nodd of respect. "Hey can we stop at Thunderclan? I meowed......
