Softstar's Prophecy {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 9- Nine lives ceremony

Fernstar was not getting better and her wounds weren't helping. Softeye stayed with her through the long nights. Softeye had hardly gotten any sleep, knowing, that Jaybird and Honeywisp had done everything they could. Fernstar WAS going to die, even she knew it. Still, Softeye didn't want to lose her like her mother, alone. Fernstar twitched and her heartbeat slowed, Softeye knew what this meant, a long and painful death was upon her leader. Softeye watched, even though she had known it would happen, she was on the brink of tears as Fernstar's eyes opened they were full of the light of StarClan, a ghostly Tortoiseshell had appeared. "Mom?" Softeye was unable to know if Spotleaf had heard her, but seemed to acknowledge her. The ghostly cat looked at her daughter. "It's almost time for us to meet again," said Spotleaf, disappearing in cloud of light green vapor. Fernstar's head fell back, worried, but hoping slightly Softeye crawled back to the leader, the light had faded from the leader's eyes. Softeye wailed loud enough for Jaybird to come running, his eyes widened. "So it finally happened," his eyes filled with sympathy. "I'll tell Honeywisp," he sighed, his dark blue grey fur drooping. Softeye was still crying on the leader when Flypaw appeared. "Mom?" Softeye's ears drooped. Flypaw tried to look stern. "She's dead, isn't she?" Softeye nodded, and the apprentice ran to his dead mother. Softeye looked at him. "If you want you can have your warrior when I get back from the MoonRock." Flypaw turned. "T-that would be nice..." Softeye smiled, Flypaw was about the size of a warrior. "I'm ready Jaybird." Softeye looked at Jaybird who was sorting herbs. Jaybird didn't look up, he stared at the ground. "Have I told you about Shadystar's Past?" Softeye looked away, they did not mention Shadystar again. Softeye followed Jabird to MoonRock. MoonRock's gleaming silver-blue light still made her flinch. Softeye pushed her nose into it, and it ingulfed her. A plain as white as snow met her eyes. 'Snow in StarClan? That can't be good...' 9 cats had appeared, with a heart-leap of joy she recognized Fernstar and Spotleaf. The black cat who had given her prophecy walked up. "My name is Shriektooth," she said," With life I give you courage. Use it well in defence of your clan." Shriektooth stepped back, making way for a strikingly familiar cat,Venomstrike. The gray cat smiled. "With this life I give you justice. Use it to judge the actions of that cat and others." Softeye flinched Venomstrike had mentioned the prophecy. A silver blue cat stepped forward. "Snowyflight!" The old medicine cat smiled. "Hello Softeye I know you only saw my body, but I've watched you grow, you'll make a great leader." Softeye flushed, the old cat had complimented her. "With this life I give you loyalty to know what's right. Use it well." The cat next to Flypaw's sister moved forward. "I'm Heatherwisker, Jaybird's mother," said the blue gray cat said. Softeye was staring at the reason most of Jaybird's family was blue gray. "With this life I give you tireless energy. Use it to carry out the duties." Softeye was mistaken it wasn't the kit yet, but a hardly visible cat. "I'm Harepaw's ancestor." said the cat. "With this life I give you protection." the cat moved into the bushes. Finally it was the kit's turn. "I'm Sunkit, but you already know that," she said. "With this life I give you mentoring. Use it to train younger cats. Thank you for my brother's success"

A brown tabby who looked almost like Fernstar came. "I didn't expect both my daughters to come to StarClan close together. Anyway, I'm Brownsnarl. With this life I give you compassion. Use it well." Spotleaf came up. "Oh my daughter," she said, smiling," 2 more lives until you're leader, I'm so proud. With this life I give you love. Use it especially for Harepaw." Fernstar was last. "Oh Softeye," she said," With this life I give you nobility and faith and certainty. Thank you for staying with me while I died. I now name you Softstar!" StarClan raised their voices," Softstar! Softstar!" Softstar climbed the rock to call a meeting. "May I have you gathered please. Flypaw step forward. StarClan I ask you to smile down at this apprentice as he is about to receive his name. Flypaw from this moment on you will be know as-" she racked her brain-" Flyleaf."
