Springstar After a while they arrived. "I forgot how dark it is down there." She said. Then turned to her brother and said," You stay guard out here." The sun was already setting. Hawkflight He nodded.

Amberleaf I nodded. "Don't speak after we enter the tunnel." I say, fully aware she may want to ask questions.

Springstar She nodded and started to walk down the dark tunnel. It was pitch dark and she could barely see once they were halfway and with barely any light. Once closer she saw the moonstone. She sped up and then laid down by it. She touches it with her nose and immediately felt tired. She soon drifted asleep and dreamed of being in starclan. A blue she cat came forward,"Hello Springstar. You are here for your lives but you will not be receiving those." The cat, Bluestar, said. "What?! But I'm the rightful leader." Springstar said."No, you are not. We cannot let you bring your clan down and lead it toward its destruction. However, your brother, Hawkflight can make it soar and succeed and survive-no thrive." A she cat said, it was her mother Squrrielflight. "What? Why him? He's not fit to lead-" she complained. "He is you aren't, I was blind in judgement when I picked you as my deputy, you were my kin I didn't want to disappoint you." Her father said as he came forth from the shadows, Bramblestar. She looked over and saw Amberleaf nearby. She couldn't lie and say she was the rightful leader now.

Amberleaf I watch from the background, my fur prickling. Normally medicine cats didn't show themselves in a naming ceremony.. BUt this wasn't a normal naming ceremony. I stalk forward and lift my head. "You had doubts yourself." I murmured. I looked around at the Starclan cats and approached Bramblestar. I got in his face, close enough I could feel his breath. "I wish you would give me a simple reason why?" I ask coldly. "Neither of them are fit to lead, but they are the only options in your sight, so why Hawkflight and not her? She will show mercy. She could be more a of FIRESTAR then him." I say coldly.

Bramblestar "We have foreseen great troubles for your clan. My daughter is not strong or confident enough to lead you all. My son, on the other paw is stronger, confident, and always was a more natural leader. Do not doubt my judgement, you have never known my children as I did, I may have never really known Hawkflight as he was raised in wind clan, captured as a kit, I thought he was dead but he never was, he remained strong as a kit in an unknown clan with unknown faces even in battles against his family, whom he had long forgotten until I told him in a dream." The tom said. Springstar "Alright, I will go back to being Springfoot, then, father. I will trust your judgement." She said with a nod. (I have a propecy idea I will be posting on the front page soon!)

Amberleaf "She aught to be more strict with you!" I rear up. "She is a good cat! Are you kidding me? You have no right to do this! Tall star made it for a mercy in his clan, you are making for battles and bravery!" I narrow my eyes but retract my claws. "Toms." I say before slipping away from the dreaming world to get Hawkflight.

Bramble star "Mercy will not save you all." He said simply as the she cat left. He then said to his daughter,"I'm sorry about this all." She nodded and said,"It's alright I guess." Though pain was in her gaze.
Hawkflight He was standing guard and had begun to wonder how long this would take. Then he heard something from in the tunnel,"Is everything alright?" He called into the darkness.

Amberleaf I growl, pinning my ears and baring my teeth at the ground, wishing Bramblestar was there. I would not kill him, obviously, but seriously. I stop when a blue she-cat appears in front of me. She smells of Thunderclan. I growl. "Who are you?" She faintly looks like the lengend Bluestar, but I do not get my hopes up. She narrows her eyes. "Bramblestar never was one with speaches. A great Darkness is coming.... You need to be prepared. Starclan is trying to do the best for you, believe in them." I blink, and she fades away. "Oh," She says as her body turns to dust, "I am Bluestar." My eyes widen and I just stop, my body rigid. Barkness enfolds me but I growl. "Not now. Please." And it slowly dissapears. Tallstar's scent surrounds me and I hear the whisper "Trust her." I dip my hea,d my eyes still wide. The anger is not gone from me, but I pad forward, hearing Hawkflight ask if everything was alright. I growl. "No, actually it's not." I raise my tail. "But don't get worried. It's just... Starclan has foretold a darkness and you are to be leader... Not your sister Springfoot."

Hawkflight "This isn't a prank of hers is it?" He asked but once he saw her face he knew it wasn't. "But why me, of all cats?" He asked clearly confused with starclans decision. "I mean I thought Bramblestar picked Springstar-foot now out of everyone to be his deputy, out of thunderclan and now he says she can't be our leader. "And I thought this day was going be a slow one." He said half to himself half to her.

Amberleaf "I don't know, Hawkflight. Trust me, I don't like this. Have you even had a apprentice?" I sigh, sweeping my tail across the ground and scratching at the ground with my paw. I reared up slightly. "They have no right! I know!" I say it agirly, but land, knowing I shouldn't make him be against them. i narrow my eyes. "You better prove yourself, cause they say she can't lead since there is a darkness coming. And she has to much mercy." I snarl at the ground, then sigh. "Come. Do not speak once we reach the cavern."

Hawkflight "I did have an apprentice once, you know. I'm not as inexperienced as my sister or as you believe." He growled. Then he stopped talking and followed her in the dark cavern. He saw his sisters, Springfoot on the way down. She looked sad,'It isn't my fault! I did nothing to steal your leadership!' He thought angrily even though she could not read his mind. He touched he rock and fell into asleep. He dreamed of being in lush moors he started to chase a rabbit until he saw one cat, "Tallstar!" He said. "Follow me, Hawkflight." Was all the star clan leader said. He then turned and walked off leaving Hawkflight with no choice but to follow. They came to a clearing with other star clan cats. "Hello, Hawkflight." A silver she cat said sadness in her gaze. "Silvermoon!" He said,"I'm do glad to see you!" He rubbed cheeks with her until Bramblestar said,"We are here to give you your lives not rejoin what should have been. "Yes, Bramblestar." He said, he wouldn't use father for that cat had taken much from him. "I will go first, I give you a life full of love, use it to love your clan mates as your kin, and not me. I always loves you son, but I made a mistake and never thought I'd pay for it but I am right now-paying for my mistake." Hawk flight expected a gentle life but this life burned strong as if it were unbreakable. Next a she cat stepped forward,"Mother," he greeted her harshly. "Hawkflight, I give you the life of understanding, something you have lacked these years, don't be so harsh on us. We did what we thought best." Squrrielflight said. This life was full of confusion and his head hurt but soon he understood more and his mind had breached out to new ideas and he nodded. A kit stepped forward next,"Hello, brother." She said. "Oh Mossykit! I'm so sorry." He said with guilt in his eyes. "It's not your fault, the river was too strong that day. I was never meant to be with you on your journey." She said then continued,"I give you the life of compassion, use it with your clan and make sure they understand and forgive, and I learned to do in star clan, I forgave you as soon as I saw how you grieved, I know it was a mistake now." She said then backed up. Then a forth cat came forth, Tallstar, "I give you a life for battle smartness, you will need it and mercy will not save you, I may have been merciful in my time but now it will only be the cause of death, be smart be ready war will be coming." The black and white tom said then back up. Fifth, another kit,"Oh-oh Lilykit." He said. "I'm alright now, father." She said sadness in her gaze. "I give you the life for joy, find joy in little things and be joyful that you have those memories that I never did experience." She said then back over to a she cat. Sixth, another kit,"Pinepaw, my son." He said and was silenced by the kit,"It's alright, you did nothing wrong, I was to die. I now give you a life of hope, my hope was dead when I was sick, something I shouldn't have let die, but I know you will need to have hope and spread hope with the coming war." The apprentice said. Seventh, a blue she cat, Bluestar,"I know I mean nothing to you, being Windclan raised but I am here to give you a life full of peace,"Be at peace knowing you can save your clan and keep peace when you can." She said and the life came per him, calm and pleasant. Next an orange tom, Firestar,"Hello, I also and Thunderclan but I too was the underdog, the one no one would originally pick but I give you the life of bravery, you must be brave to lead your clan in what's too come." This life was fiercer than all the others and painful but yet it felt powerful. And last a she cat,"Silvermoon, my love." He said. "Shhh..I give you the last life, the life of strength, be strong and share you strength to others for I know more than them the pain you have been though in your life and at so young too, not even a senior warrior but stronger than them all, now your clan is suffering and only you can lead them through. There is a queen from Shadowclan who shows traits to be a strong deputy, grieving but still strong like you and brave too. Plus stubborn. But you can do it." She said them the kit and apprentice pressed them selfs by her side, his family, all gone. "I will. I'll be strong." He promised as the cats started to cheer,"Hawkstar! Hawkstar!" The dream started to fade and he awoke. He wondered if the medicine cat, Amberlead had been there too to see him with his old mate and kits.
Springfoot She had taken up standing guard. She wondered how it was going. (I feel like Erin hunter writing so much!)

(Lol, and I would have written more! XD Shadowclan queen.. Stubborn, now who could that be, hummm?) Amberleaf I watch with narrowed eyes, especially angry about how Bramblestar did this. Hawkflight would be to proud. He already WAS to proud. He wouldn't bring peace, he'd be the cause of the battle! I close my eyes, trying to calm myself. There is no use in this.. I think profoundly to myself. i watch the cat stake their turns, see a long-lost mate slip out and I start to have more sympathy and respect for him. When the kits come, I wish I could walk forward and wrap my tail around them. I smile, looking at the stars. I watch as both Firestar and Bluestar come forward. Two legends... Maybe this is the right decision... I wrap myself in puzzled thoughts, trying to decide whether to trust my warrior ancestors like I always had, or do what my gut told me to and be angry. I finally settle on a mid-way point, gazing around. I stare simply at the now even more proud cat with pricked ears and open eyes when the cats yowled "Hawkstar! Hawkstar!" I fight the feeling of slipping into the waking world and run forward. "Firestar!" I yowl. "Tallstar!" I ginger cat slips out of the brambles. "Firestar." I say sharply. "I know you are made of legend, made of good, but what use is this? You are pushing a proud and arrogant leader into place! A leader like Blackstar..." I look at him, remembering his worst enemy. "Slightly like Tigerstar." He looks at me, eyes sharp and demanding. "That cat is proud, to like Blackstar for my taste. But listen to me." He says, his voice getting dark and serious. "He is NOTHING like Tigerstar!" i dip my head, flattening my ears. "Fine." i half snarl half say, "but what is this darkness?"
(Don't respond as Firestar, I'll pm you a prophecy idea.)

(Alright and thanks! I had one but it doesn't fit or work at all! And I would have written more if I hadn't felt so tired when I wrote that!) Hawkstar He yawned and opened his eyes. He got up and waited for Amberleaf before heading out. Outside he saw his sister, "I'm sorry to take your role and do not blame you if you hate me but we must get back." He said calmly.
Springfoot She just glared at her brother before saying,"Whatever." She rolled her eyes and turned her back to him. "Let's just get back, already." She said and started to lead the way back.

Amberleaf Firestar leans down, looking me in the eyes. Well-glaring my in the eyes. I flinch back, my body shaking. I try not to look scared, but to see this legend Thunderclan leader crouching down glaring at me was bone-chilling. His gaze felt as though it bored through my bone, grinding until he could sort through my thoughts one by one. I heard a soft purr and I flinch, this is a time for purring? "Firestar, don't be so hard on her." Came the voice. Excitement filled me and I breathed out a sigh of relief. I closed my eyes, slightly thanking the rest of Starclan Tallstar came when he did. firestar looks up, and I'm surprised to see his face almost friendly, although still creased with worry. He tilts his head at Tallstar and flicks his tail, his fur moving slightly with the wind. Certain spots on his fur glow, and I cannot stop myself from noticing how handsome he is. I jerk myself out of those thoughts, shaking my head at such foolish thoughts, he had Sandstorm and I was a medicine cat! I looked to Tallstar and he gave me a compassionate glance, tilting his head for me to look at Firestar. To my surprise, the legend simply dips his head to Tallstar and walks over him, touching his nose. "I have not heard from you in a while." The fire-colored cat meows. Tallstar dips his head. "True, i have been busy. Firestar, you are the one delivering the prophecy?" The great cat nods. Tallstar looks at him, his eyes finally dark with worry. I stamp my foot, impatient. "would you to get ON with it?" I yowl, annoyed. Tallstar gives me a sharp glance and I continue to glare at him. Firestar chuckles, but frowns quickly after. "If she was Leafpool...." He says over his shoulder, turning to me. Tallstar chuckles as well and I furrow my brow. What does that mean? "Anyway." He says to me, his gaze darkening. "Listen." He turns and the last thing I see is the flick of his tail before I am swallowed into darkness. My eyes widen and my breathing heavies as I am laying on the ground, I stand, scrambling upward. My feet slide on.. I look to the ground. It is covered in bones and fur. I try to lift up my paws and let out a terrified howl but I am rooted to the spot. Blood-or what I think is blood starts trickling down the pathways near me. My eyes widen and I let ou short, hard gasps. Dark trees grow around me and black smoke wisped through the area. The Dark Forest.. I think. Or at least, other than the ground, it was just like the nursery tales. I feel claws grasp my pelt and I yowl, my ywol echoing around me. I watch all of my clanmates die, the clanmates I have now, fight to the death. I try to run to them, but I am root to the ground. I stand there, yowling my grief and trying to get to them, fur on end. "Beware...." A voice said, echoing through the forest. "Beware...." I look up. "WHAT'S WORSE THAN THIS? BEWARE BEWARE of.. of.. WHAT?" I yowl, my voice breaking. The voice echoes again "Never before was there a darkness like the Dark Forest, and there will never be. But something-or someone that has a heart of gold can make the darkest hole. A misjudgment has happened and will again.. What should have been a sacrifice for greater good will spark a jealousy that not a steel wall could contain.... Be wary of the sister of the light... The best can turn to the worst if a misjudgment is made.. A darkness is coming, a darkness like none other. The darkness of new." I stare at the sky "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" But no answer comes, I watch all of my loved ones die once again, and then a dark wave of blood engulfs my. I choke and splutter, going under the wave of blood. Finally, when I think i will die here, it fades away and I wake. I yowl, my eyes flying open. I gasp for breath, shuttering violently.

Hawkstar When Amberleaf hadn't come to the surface again he went back into see what had happened to her. He saw her wake up, she didn't look too good either. "You alright?" He asked then added,"The medicine cat can-oh wait never mind I forgot you were the medicine cat for a moment. Sorry about that, my fault. You ready to get going?"
