Smokepelt looked after Hawkear and Willowtail as they carried Daisystars limp body out of the Clearing and to her finaly resting place, his eyes filled with deep sorrow. Slowly the Clancats returned to their Dens. His eyes wandered over the clearing, all cats seemed to share his grief. He lowered his head. As he looked up he saw a sleek white Feline making her way over to him. "Hollyeyes." She rubbed her head against his to comfort him. "She was a Good leader and A honest and brave She-cat." Smokepelt rested his head on hers and they entangled their tails, staying like that for what felt like moons.

"Smokepelt." A Raspy voice called to him. He lifted his head up to see Brightface the clans Medicin cat and her Apprentice Mosspaw. "Its time to travel to the Moonspring to recieve your Nine lieves." She meowed and nodded to Hollyeyes who got up and left the two alone. "I dont think im ready for this Brightface." he lowered his head. "Its your Duty Smokepelt. You were our Deputy for many moons and now its your Duty to become Leader of Coveclan." *she comfortingly layed her tail over his shoulder. "Come we need to go now." Smokepelt sighed and got up before following the medicin cat. Mosspaw stayed behind to check on the other cats.

Brightface and Smokepelt made her way towards the Moonspring. Their Paws leaving soft prints in sand and grass. As they reached the river Brightface carefully stepped one paw after another into the water, followed by her future leader. Soon they arrived at the Gathering place.

Brightface carefully climbed down the rocks before pushing herself through the cracks in the stone to the Smal Spring shortly followed by Coveclans Future leader. "You need to lay down at the Moonspring and lick off some of the water." She dirrected and went forward to lay down. Smokepelt copied her and licked some water. It was Cold and tasted like Stars, before he knew he fell into a deep sleep. As he woke up he found himself back at the Moonspring, but Brightface wasnt with him. He looked around Panicing. 

"Welcome Smokepelt." A soft Voice said and the gray tom looked up to see several Cats. Their pelts shimmering like the Silverpelt itself. Those must be The starclan cats. he thought to himself as he sat down laying his tail neatly over his paws.

"It is time for you to Recieve your nine lives. Are you ready?" The Brown tom asked.
Smokepelt sighed and nodded. "I am, Oakpelt." The Brown tom nodded and stepped foreward and Held his nose against the grey Toms head. A burning feeling rushed through his body like fire. "With this Life i give you Bravery. Use it to Lead your clan through hard times." The Brown tom meowed as he stepped back. Smokepelt shook his head. "I will Oakpelt" he nodded. He watched the Tom leave and a Beige she-cat stepped into his place, She was a beautiful Ragdoll with long fur. "Silvershell..." Smokepelts eyes widened at the sight of his mother. "I missed you so much." he softy meowed. "Smokepelt, my Kit." she purred before placing her nose in his head. "With this life i give you Compassion for your fellow Classmates" A wave of warmth rushed though him before Silvershell pulled her head back. "Im so proud of you my little one" her voice was soft and soothing.

She then Joined the Starclan cats again and a greyish black tom stepped into the clearing. "Smokepelt. My Mentor and clanmate." The tom said. "Ravenheart."
Amberstrike placed his nose against his mentors nose. "With this Life i give you the Power of Justice. To Decide between wrong and right and make the right decitions." The young tom pulled his head back and before Smokepelt could say something he was gone. Smokepelt looked after him and didnt notice the Smal Maine coone infront of him at first. "Smokepelt." The young kit squeaked and smokepelt looked down. He had to bend down so the kit could reach him. "With this life i give you strenght. The strenght that wasnt given to me at brith to use to protect you clan in a way i never could." a burst of energy rushed though his body. The kit then stepped back. "Tell Willowtail that i will always be with her." She meowed. "I will Rosekit. your Mother will be happy to hear your alright now." He purred and watched the kit leave and a Brown tabby stepped over to him.

It was The queen brownleaf who lost her life while giving birth to Stormkit and Silentkit. "With this life i give you hope" She held her nose to his head and then left. On her way back she crossed Paths with Eagletalon, a warrior who died in battle with Sharpglow. "Smokepelt. It would have been an honer to have served under your leadership." he meowed and placed his nose on his forehead "It would have been an Honer for me too my dear friend." His voice was filled with sorrow. "With this life i give you Loyalty. To your Clan and to starclan." He then stepped back to let A young tortoiseshell Tom with Orange eyes take his place. "With this life. I give you love" The Tom held his nose to the Future leaders head. Smokepelt felt the love Sparrowleap had held for Silentsea rush though him, a warm and comforting feeling. "You were taken way to soon sparrowleap" He muttered as his old clanmate left.

"Two more lives." he sighed and sat back up to see Puddlepaw standing infront of him. "With this life i give you Energie. to run as fast as the wind across the Sandy grounds and though the grassy forest." He held his nose up to the Elder cats head. Smokepelt felt the wind brush though his pelt. Lastly a Orange-brown Shecat approached him. "Daisystar!" Smokepelt called out to her. "Smokepelt, My Apprentice, my warrior and lastly my deputy. Im glad to have you leading my clan from now on." She touched her nose with his. "With this Last life i give you Wisdom."
"With All nine lives We welcome you with your new name. Smokestar!" She called out.

"Smokestar! Smokestar!" all the cats in starclan welcomed him with his new name. Smokestar looked up proudly. "I thank all starclan. I will protect my clan till my Last life is spend" He swore Solemnly.
