.:Shadelight's True Name:.

[.:Icey:.]

The herbs seemed to wear off as he neared the moonpool. Shadelight looked over his shoulder, Shadowclan territory was so small from high in the cliffs. Shadelight pressed forward until he say the dark mouth of the Moonpool. It sent him a chill down his spine as he felt the darkness wash over him like the pine tree's shadows as the creeped across the forest floor.

The air was moist and chilled, yet something mystical flowed in the air. His yellow eyes were wide, the last time he was here was with Shadestar.

The pool shimmered even though barely any moonlight trickled through, the icey water was so inviting yet held a powerful presence. His black coat was glossy and as he lay next to the pool another chill wnet up his back.

With one more deep breath Shadelight closed his eyes drifting away in the in the stars.

((Could some people help with the lives, I am planning on doing his mother on giving him one but I need 8 more and Shadestar has to be the last))

(k ;D)

Sparrowwing padded gracefully towards the soon to be leader," Hello Shadelight. I am here to give you your first life. With this life I give you love use it well to love and care for your clanmates as a mother cares for her kits." She touched her nose to his forehead.

Wildwind padded forward after her sister Sparrowwing backed back into the ranks of Starclan," Hello, i am here to give you your second life. With this life I give you strength use it well to protect you clanmates in the heat of battle." She touched her nose to his forehead.

Robinkit padded forward her sleek black body small but her words spoke out wose beyond her moons," Hello Shadelight... i have come to give you your third life. With this life I give you mentoringship. Use it well to metor the young cats of your clan." She reached up to touch his forehead and then padded back to the ranks to sit beside her motehr Sparrowwing.

[.:Icey:.]

Each life helld its own pain on his body, it shocked him as if it were lighting. The faces of these cats were so familiar and he was glad to see the former Shadowclan cats. The pain throbbed all over but he stood up waiting for the next life.

A silver tabby she-cat walked gracfully through the stars. Her glossy coat shimmered in the moonlight and stars scattered all over her. Her icey blue eyes gazed upon her son. It was SIlvercrest his mother who had been killed many moons ago by a former enemy who still thrived.

Shadelight's eyes opened widely his heart soared, being able to see his mother again was just a miricale. But without a word he sat waiting for her.

Silvercrest sat before him and placed her head on his forhead "my dear son, soon the future leader of Shadowclan. I will always be watching over you and I give you the gift of loyalty to what you believe is right" she meowed.

She turned away, and Shadelight wished he could speak with her but he knew that the ceremony must continue. Although Silvercrest sent him a glance showing all the love and affection for her son.

His pale ivory pelt appeared slowly, as through a thick layering of clouds. Shadelight would know him from the eyes of a warrior. His pale saphire eyes looked down at the soon-to-be leader and seemed to smile warmly. Finally ShadowClan would have its true leader. The purity of his white coat seemed to make him shimmer; perhaps it was part of the curse of being dead. Whatever the case his beauty was astounding to the eyes of the living.
Greetings Shadelight. It has been some time.
Twilightstars words wrang clear but dark and heavy in the clearing. While his carcass and pelt eminated purity it was clear the burden of his murder still weighed heavily even in death.
I am hear to give you the life of Truth. Without truth and honesty your clan with never be. They will never be one with you. Make sure you do not underestimate this life
Without blinking or even seeming to move, for he moved with such grace and swiftness that it seemed like he hardly moved at all, the mighty leader touched his tail to Shadelights shoulder. He gave the young warrior a small smile before he disappeared into the wavering light...

[.:Icey:.]

Shadelight felt his heart stop, the leader before he had been deputy, the leader who lead Shadowclan through so many dark times. Shadelight felt the life Twilightstar had given him crash inside him. Taking a deep breath Shadelight regained his feet and passed a smile of remberance(sp) and compassion of being able to see this great leader once more.

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Two shadow figures padded towards the ShadowClan deputy through the stars. Very shortly, the cat would be a true leader of ShadowClan. As they drew closer, the slender figure of a black she-cat with russet paws approached Shadelight. Her green eyes glowed with pride. Emberstep touched her nose to her friend's forehead. "You deserve to be here" she whispered "I knew you'd discover the horror of my murder and bring the truth to light" she breathed, thanking him sincerly.

She closed her eyes momentarily before begining her ritual. "With this, your 6th life, I grant you the gift of tireless energy so that you may serve your clan to the upmost" she said, giving him the gift that she had possed in life. She'd always been ready to help anyone in need as well as to serve herself well afterwards. The she-cat backed off to sit next to Twilightstar.

The shadowed cat stepped forward slightly so that the stars shone on his midnight black pelt that already in life had shone with white starry flecks. Shadestar had come. He sat patiently, smiling at his old deputy and friend. It was he who would award the new leader his last life.

[.:Icey:.]

Emberstep the beutiful she-cat Shadelight had considered to be his best friend. It sadened him to know that she wouldn't return, after the murder by the blood thirsty Redstar. Shadelight passed a look of gratitude and something only a true friend would understand.

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Pantherclaw smiled," I am here to give you your seventh life. With this life I give you knowledge. Use it to lead your clan and know without hesitation what should come next." He touched her nose to his forehead.

[Hawkface]

A pure black tom stalked towards Shadelight with a menacing smirk. He was Snakefang or also known as the terrible snake. but his last actions in attacking Redstar and almost killing him, but loosing the fight ]as his throat was sliced and his breath silenced forever in a pool of his life in blood. Now he didn't sparkle so much as the other cats, but he had a strange red fire in his eyes. Smiling at the young ShadowClan leader."I am but a terrible plague or a blessing light, it's for you to choose who others are to you and what choices you shall make in your life." Touching noses, even though his was as cold as all of the leaf bares put to gather. A burning ember of justice gleamed within him; Justice, a live I for saw in the end.... gazing down at the young Shadlight with a not a twisted smile, but a true warriors of the clans smile."I have trained Hawkface and Icestar, but now i will give you the one thing that I have gave them as my only skill above all others. Justice, is my gift I will give to you for so you must always judge others and your own Clan mates wisely and fairly in all times of depression and happiness of your eighth life." Smiling as the very horrible screams or singing of angles sank into Shadelight very soul. Adding nod of gratitude before backing away from the newly ShadowClan leader, then like the fires of the embers of a thousand lives. Faded away into a somewhat black fire of hope and stars into the wide skies of StarClan.

OOC: What do you know I'm even reply 8, how ironic

[.:Icey:.]

A flicker of fear welled up inside of Shadelight's heart. His eyes remained calm but he could feel his heartbeat quicken. Even though this cat was to be evil there was always a bit of good. The life of justice stung him him far worse than the others, the cold nose of Snake made a shiver run down his spine. As he stepped back Shadelight respectfully bowed his head towards the intimidating yet knoledgable tom.

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Shadestar padded forward, shaking his fresh, starry pelt. He was handsom as he had been in his youth. He smiled at his friend "Greetings Shadelight" he purred "It would seem that Shadestar will live on in ShadowClan through you as it did through me. It is for that reason that I am here to give you a life but with it, I give you a part of my soul to help guide you in the most difficult of times. With this 9th and final life I give you Nobility, Certainty and Faith. Believe in your clan, in the warrior code, in StarClan, yourself and in me. As long as you lead the clan by the code and are certain of the path you are leading them on, you will do well" he said. "Shadestar, we welcome you and congradulate you in becoming the new leader of ShadowClan. Lead them using the lives we've given you" he commanded, a smile on his face. "Could you tell Blossomheart I love her?" he whispered to his friend as he turned to walk away "May starclan watch over you. I will walk in your dreams with you when you need me most. It was nice to see you again dear friend" and with that, the tom vanished, leaving Shadestar by himself.

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Sparrowwing, Wildwind, Pantherclaw and Robinkit started chanting the new leader's name," Shadestar! Shadestar!"

[.:Icey:.]

Shadelight smiled and bowed his head in the request of his former leader. He felt the life soar through him, the pain no longer overwelmed his body but he felt exhuasted as if had run for days.

His heart began to beat faster as he say the many faces slowly fade away in the stars, he took one last look at his former comrades, leaders, friends. He bowed his once more before closing his eyes and finding himself back in the cool mysterious den of Moonpool, the place of Starclan. He was now Shadestar of Shadowclan and it was his duty to lead Shadowclan as did Twilightstar and Shadestar before it was his turn to continue his legacy and with the help of Shadestar in his very own soul nothing was impossible.
