Emberfur padded slowly to the Moonpool, lying down on the rock and pressing her nose to the water. Cold immediately shot through her, bringing her sleep.
Emberfur awoke to see the starry warriors of the sky moving towards her. "Greetings," the first one said. He had a pelt of silver. "I am Jadestar, your Clan's first official leader. With this life I give you courage to be brave for the sake of your Clan." A blaze shot through Embfur, making her want to fight. Before she knew it, the weary Emberfur had received eight lives. A new cat stepped forward. The last cat! "With this life I give you love. Use it well for your loved ones." I don't have any loved ones! Emberfur wanted to shout. Seeming to realize that, the she-cat concluded. "Someone will come." When? Emberfur thought. But she believed anyway. Then Jadestar padded up to Emberfur. "Emberfur, are you ready to become leader of ShadowClan, and a cat with courage, power, and all of the gifts you received tonight? And most of all a cat with responsibility?" Emberfur, barely recognizing her own mew, replied simply, "Yes I am." "Then I hail you by your new name. Emberstar, leader of ShadowClan until your last life has given away." Shouts of happiness and joy came from the assembled cats. "Emberstar! Emberstar!" Those were the words Emberfur heard as she woke, now a cat with power, responsibilities, and a new name. Heaving herself upward, Emberstar began to make her way back to camp.
