The Brightest cat stepped forward, a light scowl on her face, then took a stuttered sigh, and looked back at the other Starry cats who'd formed their league. She stepped forward, the clouds swirling around her paws like dust in Greenleaf. She opened her mouth to say, "Lilypool, you've been long expected, and the things that you have long awaited, are to come true tonight. I need you to pledge an oath. Repeat what your heart tells you as you stand here with us." A test. The starry cat's smile seamed threatening, yet like she truly yearned for Lilly to know what to say. She waited.

Dapplestar's body felt cold, like blood falling to the ground below her. She raced down the tree on unsteady paws, and back to camp, she had to explain. She flew into her old den, and her words came in gasps, "Shadow, i-i-i- I'm going to have to leave temporarily, Make sure the kits know....know who WE are, but I can't stay long, I must, I must leave!" She said choking on air. She licked her kits one by one, and showed Shadow where she'd kept some tokens that meant much to her, there were 6 of them. She wanted Shadow to divide them among the kits, as a pendant, and not to explain where they came from. She lay down in the nest with her kits, and licked Shadow's cheek. The world got hazy and she soon drifted off with memories.

The tokens are:
1] A leather cord, 2 feet long
2]A shard of rounded colored glass
3]a pebble with a little feather stuck inside.
4]A tooth of a dog
5]The tip of a young male peacock's feather.
6]the beak of an eagle
7]dried and preserved death berries, 10x more lethal than a whole one, but the berries are coated in dried sap.
[ik, there are *7 items there, but the cord is to make each thing into an anklet, tail ring, earring, or necklace. Shadow gets to decide what goes to whom!]
