TW: Before you continue read, if you are sensitive to strong emotion or gore please leave. C1. Winterberry shook her head is disbelief before sobbing, “No! I told you to tell us!” LionMane sat beside Winterberry, his mate, paw on her head as Winterberry buried her muzzle in BlossomStar’s pelt. “Please… wake up… you were my last kin…” Winterberry sobbed. “Her days are over Winterberry, sorry. I wish that she sees you in starclan when you get your lives.” LionMane sighed. Winterberry snapped. “She’d better!” “Then come on,” LionMane suggested. “We don’t have all day.” Winterberry nodded and padded to the Broken path. They looked around as if something could jump at them at any time. Once they reached the Cavern Of Light, LionMane sat at the entrance as a guard whilst Winterberry nosed the glowing stone, slowly falling asleep. As she awoke into her dream she looked around hopefully. As she looked ahead of her, all of a sudden her kin appeared. “Hello Winterberry,” a wise looking Tom mewed. “I am RainStar, the first leader of WoodlandClan.” Winterberry saw the resemblance in Rainstar’s kits. Winterberry saw Canine, a Tom who was the father of BlossomStar. “Canine!” Winterberry yelped with happiness as she leapt at him with eagerness. “Hello Winterberry.” Canine smiled. She looked around and at last saw River. “Are you ready for your lives?” River asked. Winterberry nodded gulping. “Very well. I give you the life of insight, it is important you think about decisions that might change your clans future.” River nosed Winterberry’s forehead. HollowStar appeared next. “Hello Winterberry. I am HollowStar, the second leader of WoodlandClan. I give you the life of elderly, look to the elders for advice as they have seen more than you perhaps.” She nosed Winterberry. The next cat was Flowerkit. “My daughter!” Winterberry cried. “Do not fret mother. It was destiny. I give you the life of a queen, you were a queen so you have knowledge of raising a kit or two. Use this knowledge to protect your clan.” Flowerkit nosed Winterberry’s forehead before stepping away for the next cat. Next was FallStar. “Well done my daughter, I am proud. I give you the life of strength, as my daughter I trust you will put this to good use. Use it well to protect your clan from threats.” Next was Ash. “Although I never stayed in the clan, I still have clan-blood. I give you the life of bloodline, although they may have been a rouge or loner with no clan-blood, take notes of this cat as they may help you in the future.” Next was TwolegKit. “Let’s make this short. I give you the life of kits, protect the kits even if they may be from another clan. Kits will grow into warriors and are still fragile.” Penultimately was RainStar. “I give you the life of strictness, you need it to make a strong clan. Strictness however, does not mean success all the time. Use it at the right times.” Lastly it was BlossomStar. “I couldn’t have been prouder. You will be a great leader. I give the life of a warrior, remember your warrior training. Just because your a leader it doesn’t mean you will be strong by just standing there. Welcome WinterStar!” BlossomStar mewed happily. “WinterStar! WinterStar!” The cats chanted. Tears grew in WinterStar’s eyes. “I’ll miss you all..” She cried happily. “I have one last thing, where there is life there is a decision.” BlossomStar echoed. “Wait what?!” Too late, BlossomStar and the other cats faded. She woke up too her usual world..
