you and i go DEEPER.

fernpelt.[/colour]

Three pheasants exploded from the bushes around the group of cats as Fernpelt padded towards her destination: the Moonshard. Finally, she would get her nine lives, and her leader name. There was just one small part of the tortoiseshell she-cat that was filled with a nagging worry - what if StarClan didn't want her to take her leader name now, because she hadn't come straight away, had performed at Gatherings before coming? She couldn't help but wonder if that was why all these things kept going wrong - the disappearances.

Fernpelt shook these thoughts away as they neared the huge StarClan meeting place. She slowed her paws as the caverns loomed, waiting for Beacansong, Glacierfrost and Mottledsnow. "Well, I suppose I should go in now." she said, almost wanting to say 'Don't make me go in'.

glacierfrost

The black and white tom had walked at the back of the pack, his eyes on the ground, then around every so often. He kept his mouth open slightly, trying to find one scent that would complete him, one cat that was his other half. Solsticesong. Of course....somewhere in his torn heart, he knew he would never see his mate again. It pained him so as he padded after the leader, tail flicking back and forth as he stopped infront of the Moonshard, raising his head to look at the she-cat. "StarClan will welcome you with open paws, Fernpelt" Glacierfrost meowed, then took a step forwards, so that his muzzle was to her ear. "If you happened to see Solsticesong up there...." He trailed off, pulling away before his strong, emotionless voice could break.

[SHADE. :D]

beaconsong

His small paws brushed the grass with barely a sound to call their own. The skinny Rex cat that they belonged to padded alongside his mate, their pelts brushing for comfort. The warrior glanced sideways at Fernpelt as they walked, his yellow eyes anxious. Would things change when she became leader? Would it be different between them? Don't be siily, a change of name won't edit how she feels. But despite this thought, he still was not convinced. Beaconsong stopped as they reached the wide, gaping mouth of the MoonShard's cavern. The skinny tom pressed against his mate. He didn't want to pull away, but knew that he had to. Reluctantly, he did so. He hung his head. Was this going to change them forever?

"Good luck."

fernpelt.

Fernpelt looked at Glacierfrost sadly, nodding in silent mourning for her lost friend. "She should have been here. She was the strongest cat I knew. If StarClan give me any news, I will be sure to tell you." she said, then turned to Beacansong. As he pressed against her, she closed her eyes for a second. Then, she opened them and faced her mate. "Thank you." Not needing to say any more, she tenderly licked his cheek, before tunring away and taking a deep breath. Then, she padded forward, and into the darkness. She made her way blindly down the tunnel until it turned sharply, and a bright light announced the Moonshard. The great crystal was magnificent - Fernpelt got chills, not just from the low temperature in the cave. Finally, she settled near the spike of crystal and leaned forward, allowing her salmon pink nose to connect to the freezing stone. Then, she walked with StarClan.

The she-cat smiled as they walked, genuinally happy. She loved the feeling of being back out of camp, for having been able to stretch her legs for more than just the territory. She had hoped to see her friends but of course it was so late. Maybe they would meet again at the Gathering soon though, so she kept her hopes up. As they reached the Moonshard she kept quiet as the others spoke, her tail curling around her paws.When Glacierfrost and Beaconsong had spoken she nodded shyly to Fernpelt. "Good luck" she echoed Beaconsongs words more quietly, before settling herself against the smooth, cold rock. It was soothing to have something again so cool on her skin, she was glad they had returned in leaf bare so she could reclimatise, as she was so used to being cold. Sighing softly, she laid her head on her paws, revelling in the stillness.

ooc: just so you know, if they found Solsticesong dead then they know Brackenkit is back. It's kind of my fault for not posting there with him but a thread in the EC camp was never made after Solsticesong died, so...

ooc;; I found a post where it gives Sunheart's personality. I'm gonna post now.

Sunheart

[/size][/right]

A femme warrior stepped forward to greet Fernpelt as she entered her ceremony. Her eyes were full of kindness and love for the new leader. 'Hello, Fernpelt. It has been a long time since we last met.' Her mind flicked back to how she died. A pained expression corssed the queen's face, then it was gone. 'Come. With this life, I give you courage. Use it to lead your clan without fear and to make your decisions, no matter how hard they are to make.' Sunheart touched her nose to the new leader, ten stepped back for the next cat to give her a life.

[/sup][/blockquote][/blockquote]

fernpelt.[/colour]

[[Okay guys, you don't have to wait for me to post for you to post with another life, just keep it going =D]]

Fernpelt's leafy eyes widened as she saw who stepped from the shadows. "Sunheart! It has been a long time." she said, unable to keep a kit-like grin from spreading across her face from seeing the dead rex warrior. As Sunheart stepped forward to give Fernpelt her first life, the tortoiseshell she-cat tingled with excited. This was quickly replaced with shock as Sunheart's nose connected with hers, and a bolt as hot as lightning flashed through her. If this was her first life, she sure hoped that the others wouldn't be like this.

[/size]

[SHADE. :D]

aspenkit

The glittering ranks padded forward from nowhere. There were some new faces, some that had been there for moons. And one of them was a small kit. He was oddly skinny and bony, with huge batlike ears and bulbous yellow eyes. He looked a lot like Beaconsong. And this was because it was Aspenkit, Beaconsong's long-dead brother. The youngster had died when he and his litter had been just three moons old. So the little Rex had remained in this kitlike body, with his same-old mind. As the skinny kit stopped, his large eyes gleamed with wisdom. But he had never been a particularly playful and immature kit. Aspenkit watched as Sunheart padded forward to give her brother's mate her first life. Aspenkit trotted forward after his sister as she retreated. The little tom peered beadily up at the tortoiseshell. "With this life, I give you justuce," he mewed, reaching up to touch his soft velvet nose to the she-cat's. "Use it well to aid you in punishing wrongdoers." The small kit locked eyes with her for a moment, looking like a miniature version of his living brother, before he turned and padded back to the starry ranks.

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

fennecmask.

Fennecmask smiled as he padded forewards after Aspenkit to give his life the new leader. His daughter had given courage; Aspenkit had given justice. A new era would start in EclipseClan as one did with each new leader, but he knew that she would face more challenge now than he had ever known. Only Stormstar of CloudClan and Firestar of MoonClan were left of the older leaders, and both were ageing slowly but surely. Soon, there would be five fresh, young, inexperienced leaders in the Clans, and while this was both a good thing and a bad thing, Fennecmask was weary of the changes it would bring about in the Clans.

He dipped his head to Fernpelt. He had known her when she was a kit, but he never would have guessed how far she would come. Touching his nose to her's, the tom meowed, "With this life I give you loyalty: to the Clan, to your Clanmates, to yourself. Use it well when the line between right and wrong may seem blurred to everyone, even you." With that, he stepped back into the ranks of StarClan.

[/blockquote]

[fernie. (:]

fernpelt.[/font]

Fernpelt's eyes widened as the next StarClan cat appeared. Aspenkit, the kit that she had seen die before her eyes in the nursery, and not being able to do anything about it. Guilt racked her lithe frame, and she looked at Beacansong's brother with hope that he didn't think it had been her fault he had died. As he gave her her next life, she braced herself for another hot flash, but was caught off guard as a flash of icy, unbearable cold shook her body. Shaking her head, she thanked Aspenkit. Then again, the same routine, Feneccemask appeared, and Fernpelt began to feel warmth at seeing dead Clanmates once more. This time the pain of the new life was less, and Fernpelt felt that it was bearable. Nodding her goodbye to Feneccemask, Fernpelt eagerly awaited the rest of her lives.

Shadowflower

i will always be with you

Pawstep by pawstep, the she-cat stepped forwards, a warm smile across Shadowflower's beautiful face as she came to stand infront of her daughter. Reaching forwards, she pressed her small nose to Fernpelt's. "With this life, my daughter, I give you the life of protection. Use it well to keep your Clan safe, and those you love close" The motherly she-cat meowed, pulling back before giving her daughter a quick lick over the ear. "I'm so very proud of you, Fernpelt" She whispered before pulling back, going to sit beside Fennecmask, eyes glowing with pride.

[all out JINX ♥]

.Rogueclaw .
. I guess it's gonna have to hurt, I guess I'm gonna have to cry .

Silky silver fur brushed past the other glowing bodies of ScarClan, savage black stripes scored through her fur and dazzling white paws hit a little above the ground. Her aura was hard to see through the other starry cats but as her paws hit the ground silently it disappeared all together. The tall body of Rogueclaw stepped forward after Shadowflower ended with her life giving, 'With this life, I give you tireless energy. So you can take on leading your clan to the fullest.' Her icy blue eyes flashed with a gentle and peaceful gaze, she touched her black nose to the new leaders before stepping back. Her silvery fur rustled as she walked back to her spot by the others who had already given a life, Rogueclaw's ice-blue orbs glowing softly with warmth.

[fernie. (:]

fernpelt.

Fernpelt gasped quietly as her mother stepped from her veil of shadows, and Fernpelt's eyes filled with tears as she remembered her kit days, when her mother was still alive. It was only hazy memories, but she held on to them dearly, because it was all she had left of her mother. As the femme gave Fernpelt her fourth life, Fernpelt felt not pain, but a warm glow of love, and Fernpelt smiled, lost for words, as her mother backed away, praising her. Then, as Rogueclaw stepped forward, she smiled at him also, the slain warrior. As he gave her her fifth life, the pain came back with this one, a sharp bolt of fire. As she shook it off, she nodded her thanks to Rogueclaw.

crowtalon
xxxxxxxxxxxx

StarClan had grown on Crowtalon. He had gained more wisdom than he could ever imagine being a part of a group so big and wise and full of good leaders. Some were God-like and others were just small kits but every single one of them had just as much wisdom and love for the Clans below. Even the lowly Crowtalon. It was his turn. His light silvery eyes glittered in the black darkness as he approached, his black body blending in with the night. Even though you could barely see him, the outline of him had changed. He was no longer a scrawny bony lifeless tom, but a strong shimmering ghost. He had changed and he hoped Fernpelt would see that he had become something, even in death. He smiled warmly as he approached her and began his part. "Fernpelt, with this life I give you mentoring. Use it not only to mentor the younglings of your Clan but to teach all others right from wrong. Good luck," he meowed and touched his nose to hers. Before returning to the crowd, he added one last thing. "Please tell Maplepool that I said hello and that I love her. Thank you Fernpelt." And with that, he disappeared back into the crowd.

[FIREH!!]

Poppykit[/font][/color]

_{A little kit seemed to float on air as she padded towards Fernpelt. Poppykit gave Fernpelt a small smile, betraying the wisdom she now possessed. She reached the new leader and stretched up to touch noses with the cat. "With this life, I give you love. Use it well to treat your clan like your own kin." Her voice squeaked, and as she drew back, she gave her sister a look of love. "I'm so proud of you, sis." She squeaked, before returning into the crowd of cats.}[/color]

[SHADE. :D]

shadestar

Even as the tiny little Poppykit skipped back to the crowd, another cat broke from the ranks to trot steadily forward. Her slim body swayed as she walked, her small paws almost, but not quite touching the grass. Her eyes were wide and the exact green of clovers - no longer scarlet. Shadestar's eyes had returned to their usual colour after the Tribe's grasp had loosened on her. The former leader stopped before Fernpelt. The tortoiseshell had been her daughter's deputy for long moons. She deserved this day. Shadestar blinked at the she-cat before her, before leaning forward to touch her nose carefully to Fernpelt's, her green eyes sincere. "With this life, I give you compassion," she told the tortoiseshell. "Use it well to care for the cats of your clan." The slim she-cat smiled her crooked, half-sincere smile at Fernpelt, before turning swiftly to join the StarClanners once again.

amethyststar

And then she came. Last, as was customary. Straight after her mother slipped back into place before her, the larger daughter stepped up. It was Amethyststar. After Shadestar had padded forward so recently, the differences between the former leader and her kit were stark. Amethyststar was more bulky, more muscular, and rather than fresh green eyes her eyes her the dark amber of flame. All of this she had inherited from her dear father Razorswipe, who she knew was somewhere in the audience. Amethyststar approached her deputy, her amber eyes bright with pride. She stopped, as Shadestar had, before Fernpelt. "You have come so far, Fernpelt. And I am proud of you." She leant forward to lick the smaller she-cat between the ears, before getting down to business. "With this life," she mewed, pressing her nose to Fernpelt's with finality. "I grant you nobility, certainty and faith." She pulled back, her amber eyes watchful. "Use it well to lead your clan in a just and honest manner." Amethyststar took a few steps back, but did not rejoin the group. "And so we hail you by your new name. Fernstar! Fernstar! Fernstar!"

// She can wake up now, right? xD

[fernie. (:]

[[Finally...finished... hallelujah!]]

[/size]

fernpelt.[/font][/size]

Fernpelt kept smiling as another deceased warrior appeared from the ranks of StarClan. Getting into the habit of bracing herself for the shock of the life she was being given, the life Crowtalon gave her didn't seem so bad. Then, as he returned to the crowd of StarClan cats, Fernpelt gasped. Poppykit, her sister, taken from her before she got to know her, appeared. Fernpelt remembered that her mother would tell her about her sister, back when they were rogues, roaming the forest. The tortoiseshell she-cat smiled as she recalled this bittersweet memory, as it was both happy and sad for her. Sad that she would never be with her mother again, happy because she had progressed so much from those times. As she once more braced herself for this life, she expected it to be slightly less painful, almost gentle, it being love. But no, it was agony. Fernpelt cried out as the life was absorbed by her, and this had to be the most painful of them all. She shook herself to rid her body of the pain, then nodded as Poppykit parted. Then came Shadestar, with compassion. Not as painful by far. And finally, the most recently deceased leader. Amethyststar appeared, floating gracefully towards Fernpelt. The she-cat nodded politely to her former leader, glad to see her again. She felt a pang of sorrow as she realised that she wouldn't be able to consult the strong black she-cat when she was unsure of things anymore. It was up to her now. She forced herself not to think of this as she received her last life, and thanked Amethyststar with a smile. Then, her paws tingled as she heard the ranks of StarClan call her by her new name.
She had done it.
She was Fernstar.

She was awoken from her ceremony with a jerk, and padded quickly out of the cavern to get back into daylight. She felt like she had been away forever, and her body ached from getting lives that took their toll. She loped out into daylight, blinking as she tried to focus in the sudden change of light. Then she saw the three cats that had escorted her. Glacierfrost, loyal warrior. Mottledsnow, fearless adventurer. And Beacansong, her mate. At that moment, she felt like the luckiest cat in the world.

[/size]

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

glacierfrost

His eyes were on the ever moving sky as his tail flicked back and forth slowly. His head turned as he heard the sound someone coming from the tunnel that lead to the Moonshard. Glacierfrost stood as Fernstar appeared out of the tunnel. "Good morning, Fernstar." The black and white tom meowed, dipping his head to the new leader before stepping away from the tunnel to wake Beaconsong and Mottledsnow. He shook out his pelt before looking to the sky again, the clouds growing dark and covering the light.

[SHADE. :D]

beaconsong

Even as Glacierfrost came to wake him, the Rex tom was on his paws. His eyes widened as he noticed the snow that covered the ground. It had obviously snowed hard during the night. He hadn't noticed, but neither had he slept. He had been so worried about his mate, whether she was alright, whether this would change how she felt about him, about their kits... Thoughts churned up inside of him. The spindly warrior padded out into the snow. Snowflakes drifted past his nose. It seemed there had been a blizzard, but the worst was over. For now, at least. He looked up at the sky. Maybe StarClan had ceased the snowstorm to give them safe passage home? He didn't know. He didn't have a huge amount of faith in the starry clans any more. They had done nothing when Brackenkit disappeared, and Sunheart died.

Beaconsong's pawsteps quickened as he spotted his mate. He ran to her, pressing his muzzle against her's. "Fernp... Fernstar! You're alright." He licked her between the ears, his whole body trembling. He took in her appearance. He had been afraid of some difference, but no, she was still the same old cat, still his mate. He smiled, his yellow eyes lighting up. "We should hurry.. The snow might get worse."

// When they get back, the bodies of the dead could be in the camp?
