Mooneyes waled on the path to the Moonpool. Jaypool walked beside him. He asked her, "What if I don't get my lives? What if I'm not a good leader?" He was obviously nervous. Jaypool replied calmly, "You'll be fine. You will make a good leader, thew clan can not ask for more. Rainstar wouldn't have chosen you tro be deputy if you weren't the right cat to be leader. Look, we are here." They padded down to the hollow of the Moonpool. Mooneyes dipped his head down to the water and took a lap of water. Then a cold darkness fell aound him and he drifted off to a deep, mystical sleep.
"Wake up, Mooneyes.", said a voice that was both one and many at once. "It is time for you to accept your destiny..." Mooneyes opened his eyes and found himself on the island where gatherings took place. No one was there, but when he looked up to the sky the stars began to descend and changed into cats.
Then one cat, one cat so bitterly familiar, walked up to him. It was his mother. "Mooneyes. Oh my dear sweet Mooneyes, I am so proud of you." "Mom.." "Shh.. with this first life I give you the gift of courage. Use it to lead your clan into battle." She then backed up and another cat took her place.
It was his dad. "My son, my brave son. I give you the gift of knowledge. Use it to help you cooperate with the other clans."
Then he too backed up and another cat took his place, a very young cat.
"Starkit, is that you?" Mooneyes asked. "Yes," replied a voice so young, yet so knowing. "I am sorry, that I could not live to support you. I give you the gift of strength and youth... So that you can keep going, even through the tests life brings you."
Then another kit walked up. This kit was small and black. "I am Nightkit, Mooneyes. I'm glad to see you again." Mooneyes then showed a look of grieve in his eyes. Nightkit saw this and said, "Do not feel sorry for me and Starkit, it was not our destiny to live, I am proud however to give my brother a life of a leader. I give you love, like the love you share with Skyfeather. Use it to care for your clan."
She then walked over to where Starkit stood and they began to watch quitely. Then a much older she-cat walked up. She then said, "I am glad to see you... I must thank you for bringing the happiness you have brought to my daughter, Skyfeather. I give you the gift of love. Not the gift that Nightkit gave you. My gift is the love a mother feels for her kits." She then turned and walked off.
Now a cat came who was unfamiliar to Mooneyes. The cat chuckled. "I am Morningflower, I was once from WindClan. We were once forced from our home. I traveled tirelessly for my kit. So the gift i give you is the gift of sacrifice. To allow you to do whatever you have to do for the clan, even at the cost of a life."
Then a cat that looked like an old grumpy tom, came forward, "I am Redfur, Skyfeather's mother. I loved my daughters well. My love was forbidden, but I still felt the love. In the end I did what my heart told me. So now I give you the gift to know yourself and do what you believe is right..."
Then a relaxed looking cat walked forward. "I am Onewhisker, a past leader of WindClan. I give you the gift of self control. So that you do not panic in battle."
Then, finally, a very old cat walked up to Mooneyes, "I am Tallstar, I was the leader of RiverClan many years ago. I give you confidence. So that you can not be discouraged."
Then one last cat walked forward. It was the previous leader Rainstar. "Mooneyes, you have now recieved your 9 lives of a leader. Your old life is no more. So now i give you the Leader name of Moonstar."
After Rainstar finshed speaking, all the cats of StarClan began to chant "Moonstar! Moonstar! Moonstar!" The chorus continued as the cats of StarClan rose up into the sky.
Moonstar then woke up and Jaypool walked over to him. "Are you ready? Did you recieve your lives?" "Yes' "Then let's go." Then Moonstar and Jaypool began the long trek back to the Windclan camp.
"Wake up, Mooneyes.", said a voice that was both one and many at once. "It is time for you to accept your destiny..."
