Articwind and Bluepaw arrived at MoonStone.
"Wait, so Talonstar said you were to become leader?" Bluepaw cried excitedly.
"Yes," Articwind mumbled. Truly, she wasn't so excited. She was nervous. What if StarClan did not accept her?
She bent down to MoonStone and fell asleep.
Many cats circled Articwind. They has stars in their pelts and wisdom in their words. "Welcome, Articwind," they said in unison. Articwind relaxed a little.
A small, lithe silver cat stepped forward. It was Echobird, Articwinds mother. "With this life I give you courage," She whispered. "Use it well to defend your clan." Thousands of horrible shocks went through Articwind, leaving her breathless. Oh great StarClan! she thought.
Echobird stepped back and a new cat took her place. It was Articwinds father, Redwhisker. "With this life I give you justice. Use it well to tell truth from false in your clan." As the life flowed through Articwind, she resisted the urge to turn tail and flee.
A small cream-colored tom stepped forward. It was Polarpaw, Articwinds brother. "Polarpaw!" she gasped.
He ignored her. "With this life, I give you loyalty, to forever remain loyal to your Clanmates." The life that went through Articwind was painful, but not as painful ans Redwhiskers life.
A large orange tom stepped forward. It was Lionpelt, Articwinds former mentor when she was in WindClan. "With this life I give you energy, to serve your Clan to the utmost." Articwind took Lionpelts life hungrily. She wanted his energy and wisdom.
A beautiful young kit stepped forward. It was Starkit. Articwind did not know Starkit, but had heard about how she desired to save her sister, Dovewings, from a Hawk attack.
"With this life, I give you the desire to protect your clan as a cat has to protect a family member. The life that went through Articwind left her in hawk talons, with a sharp grip and a small cat clawing and spitting at the hawk. She knew this was how Starkit- and Dovewings- had felt that day.
A dark brown tom stepped forward. It was Dustpaw, an apprentice that died from a dog when she was a kit in WindClan. "With this life, I give you mentoring. Use it well to mentor young cats of your clan, especially Dawnpaw." Articwind experienced wisdom and strength in this life.
Dustpaw stepped back and a tom with no paw stepped forward. It was Rootpaw(I hope you don't mind, B-Claw.) "With this life, I give you compassion," he meowed. "Use it to mind cats weaker than you." Articwind loved this life the best. It had to do with friendship and loss.
A lovely she-cat stepped forward. It was Stormcloud, the previous deputy(Hope you don't mind, Destiny). "With this life, I give you love, to love your family, friends, and whole clan." A passionate life went through Articwind, leaving her breathless.
The last cat stepped up. It was Talonstar. "With this life, I give you faith, certainty, nobility, and desire to hold up your clan in all ways of the warrior code." Anger, love, happiness, fear, and sorrow struck Articwind. she tried not to yowl.
Talonstar looked at her. "Your name is now Articstar." He murmured. A chant rose up. "Articstar! Articstar!"
Articstar woke up to a steady breathing of a cat next to her.
"Artic...star?" whispered Bluepaw. Articstar nodded.
"We should head back to Shadowclan," Bluepaw whispered. The two cats headed out of the cave and into the starry night.
"Wait, so Talonstar said you were to become leader?" Bluepaw cried excitedly.
"Yes," Articwind mumbled. Truly, she wasn't so excited. She was nervous. What if StarClan did not accept her?
