The New Leaders
Swankit watched as Vanillaheart left camp with Quakeblast. Once they where out of sight she turned and padded towards Kitclan. Her littermates and warriors where waiting for her to return.
She scrambled up the Jagged rock and took a deep breath to calm herself. "The new leader of kitclan shall be Shadowrush!"Swankit announced.
"Shadowstar,Shadowstarr!" Kitclan's warriors cheered. Shadowkit climbed to the top of the rock next to Swankit.
Dearleaf stood at the bottom of the rock, "Grasswind shall be the new medicine cat!"
Again Kitclan cheered, "Grasswind, Grasswind!"
Swankit slid down the rock and she padded over to her littermates. "Creamstar's dead."
"What!? Your joking right?" Deerkit asked her tail lashing around.
"She's not joking Deerkit.."Thorkit said his mood the oppisite of happy.
Sandkit looked at them in bewilderment before she padded towards the entrance of Kitclan, her littermates following.
Vanillaheart looked at the shimmerpool slightly nervous now that the weight of what was about to happen hit her.
"Drink from the pool Vanillaheart, it's time to meet your ancestors." Quakeblast murrmered.
Vanillaheart padded over to the pool each step feeling like she had ran two-hundred fox-lengths. She settled down onto the cool stone, Quakeblast settleing down beside her. Taking a calming breath she leaned out and lapped some of the Shimmerpool's water. Laying her head on her paws she closed her eyes. Her breathing slowed and darkness consumed her.
Vanillaheart opened her eyes to a large opened meadow. Shineclan's fine hunting grounds. "Hello?Anyone there?" Vanillaheart called getting to her paws. A creamy white can raced towards her leading eight more. "Creamstar!" Vanillaheart exclaimed. Quakeblast padded to her side taking in the nine Shineclan cats before her.
"Hello Vanillaheart I hope the journey here wasn't to hard." Creamstar purred.
"No it wasn't" Was all Vanillaheart could think to say.
"Well it's time." Creamstar said stepping forward. Creamstar looked into Vanillaheart's eyes and saw her soul, her flaws and strengths. She saw Vanillaheart for what she had done for the clan and then she spoke, "With this life I give you endurance, use it to withstand the harshness of battle and be strong for your clan!" Creamstar rested her muzzle on the top of Vanillaheart's head and then stepped back.
Searing pain ripped through Vanillaheart as the new life flowed through her. She yowled and dug her claws into the ground.
Quakeblast watched Vanillaheart worry in her eyes. How was Vanillaheart supposed to last threw eight more lives?
The pain slowly faded and she could stand. Taking a calming breath she looked up ready for the next one.
A glossy black furred tom stepped up his green eyes shining. "I'm Crowfang." He said with a smile.
Vanillaheart smiled back, "It's nice to meet you Crowfang."
"With this life I give you patience, use it for the benefit if your clan." Crowfang said resting his muzzle on Vanillaheart's head before stepping back.
Vanillaheart hear a song. Not a song that you can hear. A song from the soul. This song flooded her entire being before it all drew back into her soul. She looked at the seven remaining Shineclan cats.
A dark brown furred tom stepped forward, "My name is Willowbark I was once the medicine cat of Meadowclan." His tail flicked lazily as he spoke, "With this life I give you wisdom, use it to decide the best action for your clan to pursue." He rested his muzzle on Vanillaheart's head before stepping back. Only six remaining.
At first nothing seemed to be happening, but then she let out a shriek and fell to the ground. Her paws where pawing at her head and she thrashed. Her brain felt like it was trying to expand and felt like it was going to break her skull open.
"Vanillaheart!" Quakeblast yelped in suprise, but before he could go to his leaders side he was stopped by Creamstar.
"She's strong, she can do this." Creamstar reasured.
Quakeblast watched helplessly as his leader writhered on the ground in pain.
Vanillaheart's throbbing head slowly stopped. She removed her paws from her head and just laid there taking deep breaths. After a few minutes she got to her paws.
"See I told you" Creamstar murmered. Quakeblast just nodded.
A small grey furred she-cat stepped forward a radient smile on her face."Hello Vanillaheart! It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed.
Vanillaheart was at a loss of words. Before her stood her first apprentice that had died at the paws of a code-breaking Willowclan warrior. "Sweetpaw...I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you." She whispered looking at her. The stars in her fur shimmered brightly, no one had yet forgotten her.
"It was my time Vanillaheart just like it's your time now!" Sweetpaw purred, her tail flicking about.
"I will never forget you Sweetpaw." Vanillaheart promised mustering a small smile.
"I would hope you wouldn't" Sweetpaw exclaimed. She gave Vanillaheart a reasuring smile before speaking. "With this life I give you a leaders fury, use it to protect your clan in battle and those that have been falsly acused!" Sweetpaw leaned forward and touched her muzzle to Vanillaheart's head before stepping away.
Vanillaheart stood strong as a burning fire flooded threw her. It was like she was experiencing a queens wrath but ten times more furious. It soon passed and she stood ready for her next life.
Next up was a silver tabby tom. He wore a grumpy expression and seemed like he didn't want to be there. "With this life I give you determination, use it to keep at a trying trial." He briefly touched his muzzle to Vanillaheart's head and then stepped away mumbling about how he didn't want to be there.
Vanillaheart stumbled back in suprise at the pure determination flowing threw her. She felt like she could do anything. Maybe even get a kit to eat herbs. Thinking about it, probably not. Kits are really stubborn!
A sandy furred she-cat took the silver tabby's place. She let off a peaceful vibe. "Sorry about Silverwind. He had to leave a mouse to come here for your ceremony so he's just being a grumpy old soul." She laughed.
"Well it's good to know that he's not like that all the time. Otherwise I would feel sorry for you all." Vanillaheart joked.
The sand she-cat purred at that. "I'm Searedwing."
"It's nice to meet you Searedwing, I'm Vanillaheart." She greated with a smile.
"I know that silly!" She purred her eyes shimmering with laughter. "With this life I give you humor, use it to keep your clanmates spirits up!" She then touched her muzzle to Vanillaheart's head before stepping away.
Vanillaheart felt bubbly and happy, and her face reflected that.
(I'm getting really tired of typing all of this I may come back and finish it but meh)
She was given loyalty, (and two more I couldn't think of anything else)
"Vanillastar, Vanillastar!" The Shineclan cats shouted.
"Thank you so much Shineclan." Vanillastar whispered before her eyes closed and she fadded from Shineclan's hunting grounds, Quakeblast coming to.
