GoldTalon followed after Fogberry silently, looking up as the MoonCave came into sight. He sped up so he was at her side now, looking at the cave with excited eyes. Once they were next to it, GoldTalon stopped and turned his shinning eyes to her.
"So, any instructions I am going to need?"
He asked.

Fogberry shook her head her pale eyes glowing in the semi-darkness. "Just find a comfortable spot, lap the water and that's pretty much it." The she-cat, settled down, watching the tom, tail twitching. "Good luck."

GoldTalon nodded once to her and walked into the cave, looking immediatly at the shimmering water. His golden eyes were all that any cat would have seen had they been there, and they shone with wonder. How good it would be, to see his ancestors again...How he missed them...
GoldTalon paused, preparing himself, and let the taste of the starry water hit his tounge.
The scenery changed as rapidly as the light had upon entering the cave, Faster than fast. GoldTalon was in a field now, no breeze chilling him, now rocks to hurt his feet...Just peacful silence.
He sat down on the silken grass, waiting for StarClan to come to him.
One band of stars grew brighter, moving towards him. StarClan had arrived.
~*~*~*~*~**
Before he knew it, the Council had settled in front of him, looking healthy and happy. GoldTalon could recognize so many of them, but one in particular caught his eyes. Winterpelt was not dark anymore. She had made it to StarClan. The white she-cat came down first, blinking happily at him as the whole of StarClan chanted.
"Welcome to StarClan, GoldTalon. Are you ready to recieve your nine lives?"
GoldTalon looked around in wonder. "Yes, I am ready." He said, dipping his head respectfully.
"Then with this life, I give you understanding. Use it well to judge your clan and accept them for who they are." Winterpelt touched her nose to his head, and GoldTalon had to fight it not to fall over from the pain of his first life. It shocked him, burning into his heart like a fire. GoldTalon bit his lip to keep out a scream, as he felt how Winterpelt had felt, when her life was changing too fast to catch up.
The white she-cat backed away, and a sleek brown followed her with kindly eyes. "With this life, I give you justice. Use it well, to avenge rightly the pain of your clan." GoldTalon was again wracked with the pain of Cavesong's life, the terror she felt as she was murdered. But if ended with a feeling of the peace she held, when her sister killed her murderer.
Blackriver stepped out from the circle of stars, her dappled coat catching the light of every star in the sky. "With this life, I give you loyalty to what you know to be right. Use it well to guide your Clan in times of trouble." The pain now was not as sharp, but indeed it did hurt. It had the feling of fighting next to the clan, battle after battle after battle. "Blackriver, Destroyedpaw doesn't hate you. Please, don't worry about her." The she-cat didn't respond, but her eyes showed gratitude.
GoldTalon looked more confident now, even smiling at every cat as they approached. Crossbone smirked his usual crooked smile, as he emerged from the council. GoldTalon looked at him happily, the cat whom he had called uncle making him feel happy indeed. "With this life, I give you knowledge. Use it well, to teach the young of your clan." GoldTalon was ready this time, feeling the boundless energy it took to speed after apprentices, the pain it took when they were lost.
The Ragged tom stepped back, and Turret smiled next. "With this life, I give you protection. Use it well, to care for your young ones as a mother to her kits." The she-cat stepped away, leaving GoldTalon with a feeling of ferocity and the fight of nature.
"With this life, I give you compassion. Use it well, to give to all those weaker than yourself." GoldTalon felt a soft feeling with this life, and his eyes smiled gratefully at Ghost.
A smaller figure approaced now, and Starlingkit sat down before GoldTalon, making the tom feel quite large compared to the slight kit. "With this life I give you love. Use it well to care for others, especially Hazelgaze." GoldTalon expected the lfie to be gentle, and was nearly knocked to his feet by just how much it hurt! How could he stand this, it was terrible!
The last two cats cuaght his attention now, and GoldTalon looked up at them.
((OKay Hawkie, these last ones are for you. I'm outta dead cats. Hahaha))

A powerful blue-gray tom stood, moving towards Goldtalon. A small smile played around Wingtail's lips, as his emerald gaze fell on the Pewterclan cat. "With this life, I give you tireless energy, so you can be there for your clan, no matter what happens." The ex-Mapleclan deputy touched his nose to Goldtalon his bright eyes shining. He allowed a glimpse of his life, the pain and the betrayal he felt during his death, the determination to defend his leader.

GoldTalon felt the sting of the MapleClan cat's life, dipping his head respectfully to the deputy as the lfie finnished.
GoldTalon breathed for a moment, totally unexpecting at first how much holding nine lives could hurt. Now, he was looking at Ravenstar with twinkling eyes. How he already missed the PewterClan cat!

Ravenstar laughed, his golden eyes sparkling as he brushed his deputy's flank with his tail. "Ah Goldtalon. I knew you'd be strong enough to get here." The massive black tom cleared his throat, his deep voice ringing out clearly across the clearing. "With this last life, I give you nobility, certainty and faith, so you can lead Pewterclan rightfully." He leaned over, eyes dancing with amusement. Touching his nose to Goldtalon, a gust of memories hit. A black warrior, Ravenfrost and Goldenclaw, becoming deputy and giving up his love life for the clan, becoming leader, Eaglewing and Mothwhisper's relationship, and keeping their kits a secret... Moving back, Ravenstar shared a discreet smile with GoldTalon before continuing. "Goldstar!"
Wingtail joined in the chant, his figure already beginning to fade away, although his voice still rang out with the chant of Goldstar's name.
((Wrraggh. That was sorta a bad post...><))

Goldstar's eyes lit up like a kit's as they learned to hunt. So Eaglewing was the father... It had not ben hard to work out the mother, but the father had not yet been discovered.
"Thank you, Ravenstar. Thank you StarClan!"
He said happily.
"Thank you for believeing in me. You have made me who I am." He dipped his head. Speaking of which...Where was Mothwhisper? Could she still be alive? The cats were disappearing now, and before Goldstar knew it, he was back in the cave, the taste of stars still on his tounge.
He padded out of the cave and back into the brilliant light. All it could have taken Fogberry to know was the undaunting smile on his face.

Fogberry's eyes seemed to light up as Goldstar came out. "How was it?" She frowned for a moment. "Wait. Never mind. I'd take it was a...once in a lifetime experience...Goldstar." The medicine cat seemed to have cheered up now and she flicked her tail. "Let's go hunt...or we can go directly back to camp.

"It was amazing."
Goldstar said, finding it hard not to blurt out everything, but also not wishing to anger StarClan.
"Hunting sounds great actually."
He said, eyes twinkling.

The medicine cat grinned and bounded out of the den, not glancing back at the new leader...her stomach was complaining loudly and she couldn't wait to get something to munch on.
((Good! Now we can have a gathering, and we can move on! Yay!!))

((*Pants* This was a tiresome thread. -.- Can we just say they catch something, eat, and bring back some for the elders? LOL And we need to make a thread for Eaglewing letting Goldstar know about his choice.))

((Just thought I'd stick this in. heehee)) Leopardspeed blinked slowly. It had happened so fast. Another leader named, and an old friend. Leopardspeed felt pride, but he had wanted to talk to Goldstar after the ceremony. He had gone so fast, eager to get to his Clan. He sighed. "Goldstar..." He murmured. "How I miss thee." By the time all the other cats of StarClan had gone, he was the only cat in the clearing, a lone, spotted cat silhoutted against the moonlight. He heaved himself to his paws and padded away, wanting to look for Ashfeather once again.
