Ravensong || Deputy || 34 moons || Tags: Ashpelt
It was time. Gingerly picking herself up, she headed over to Ashpelt's den.
"Ashpelt?" she called. "It's time."
Ducking out, she headed out, giving Snowstar's body one last sorrowful glance, before, along with Ashpelt, headed out of camp.
I'll see Snowstar very soon.
Nerves were tingling everywhere as they headed towards the Moonstone, and Ravensong couldn't help but shudder.
After padding along for quite some time, they reached the cave entrance, a gaping, dark hole. Bracing herself, she headed in, quietly walking and occasionally sniffing the air.
"Are we nearly there-"
As she spoke, the dark cavern suddenly lit up as the stone in front of her blazed to life under the bright moonlight. Speechless, Ravensong looked at it in wonder, and as if it was a magnet, she was drawn towards it. Barely hearing Ashpelt's instructions to lie down and touch it with her nose, she was already closing her eyes.
----
(this will be long, and it's just her receiving her lives, so you can skip it if you want)
Where was she? Looking around, she called for Ashpelt. Was she in Starclan? She was standing in a flat stretch of land, and in the distance, she could see a forest. Suddenly, something whizzed by her. Starting in surprise, she whirled around, only to see a cat come hurtling at her full-speed. Eyes widening in surprise, she quickly side-stepped, only hearing a muttered 'mouse-dung!' before the cat raced by her.
Was this Starclan?
"Ravensong."
Snowstar?
Turning around, she came face to face with the snowy bengal, eyes widening in shock.
"S-snowstar?"
The leader looked healthy, bright and young, her fur was clean, and she could see muscles rippling.
"Welcome to Starclan, Ravensong."
And then, she saw them.
"Mother? Father? Brother?"
"We are so, so proud of you, Ravensong."
she could almost feel their warmth as they gazed at her, smiling with tails entwined.
More cats began to appear, but Ravensong didn't notice, for Snowstar stepped forwards, before touching her nose, bolts of pain instantly coursing through her body as Ravensong gritted her teeth.
"With this life, I give you confidence. Use it well to lead your clanmates, Ravensong. Be confident in your decisions."
The leader stepped away, before her mother stepped in front of her.
"Nightbreeze...."
"'m so proud of you, Ravensong. We're so proud of you..."
"Mother..."
"With this life, I give you resilience. Use it well for difficult situations, may you stand straight and tall no matter what." she murmured, as she touched nose with Ravensong, another sharp stab of pain going through her body as she dug her claws in. She could only watch as her mother padded away, only to have her place taken by her father.
"I couldn't have asked for a better daughter...With this life, I give you certainty. Use it well to guide your clanmates, and know that whatever you do, I believe it'll always be for the best of the clan."
She held in a wail, as they touched nose, and her father walked away. Her brother stepped forwards, his eyes glowing with pride and warmth.
"It was so heartbreaking to see you when you were young, sis, but it's good to see that you've picked yourself up. With this life, I give you faith. Have faith in Starclan, and have faith in your clanmates." she closed her eyes from the pain as she clenched her jaw. Another cat took her brother's place.
"Sorrelpaw..." Sorrelpaw was her best friend, before she drowned, slipping and falling through cracked ice.
"With this life, I give you sympathy and understanding. Use it well to guide your clanmates, and no matter what decision they make, use it well to understand them and their hardships." it wasn't as painful before, since she had seemed to get used to it, but she could feel a sense of warmth spread through her before Sorrelpaw padded away. This time, a black and white cat padded forwards. Yang was a loner who she had saved once.
"Yang! Why are you in Starclan? Are you dead-"
"With this life, I give you strength to act without fear or judgement, like how you didn't care when you saved me, and cared for me, despite what your clanmates said. Use it well to lead your clanmates." she could feel energy run through her body as she stood up taller, lifting her head. Three more to go. this time, a tortoiseshell she-cat stepped forwards. Wildflower was an elder when she died peacefully, and had acted as somewhat of a mother figure to her. I front of her, stood a bright, beautiful young cat, nothing like the raged bunch of bones she had been when she died.
"Wildflower, I-"
"With this life, I give you love. Love every single of your clanmates as if they were your own. As if they were your kits." she murmured, and Ravensong felt a warm trail seep through her body, before Wildflower padded away with a flick of her tail. A brown tabby tom padded forwards.
"Brackenleap..." he had been the one to stick by her side throughout her grieving.
"With this life, I give you acceptance Accept those who have different wishes to yours, and accept those who have different needs." Another bolt of pain, but this time, she stood tall. Finally, an elegant silver tabby stepped forwards.
"I am Echoflight, the previous medicine cat. With this life, I give you wisdom. Use it well to decide on the best course of action." She could feel something surge within her as a heavy weight slowly started to swirl around. Snowstar stepped forwards again.
"I hail you by your new name, Ravenstar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship ofΒ EclipseClan.Β Defend it well; care for young and old; honour your ancestors and the traditions of theΒ warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity." and with that, they all tipped back their heads as they all began to chant "Ravenstar! Ravenstar! Ravenstar!"
She felt herself begin to sway, before everything started to fade. The last thing she saw, was all nine cats lined up, smiling at her before blackness overcame her.

Blinking open her blue eyes, she stood up slowly, before gingerly stretching. Turning around to face Ashpelt, she smiled, before flicking her tail.
"Come on. Let's go home."
(sorry it was so long cx)
