_{The large black and white tom made his way to the place to meet Starclan. He sighed as he looked on ahead, waiting for the moon to get higher in the night sky. Beside him should have been the Medicine cat Tigerlilly. He flicked his tail tonight would be the night he got his new name and nine lives.}

Tigerlily padded up behind him, she had lagged behind in order to assure herself that all was well in camp before she left. The remnants of greencough had all but disappeared, and for that she was glad. It had claimed too many cats' lives this past moon....

She took a deep breath as the moon finally rose high enough and took a step forward; she would lead him to the Moon Tree, though the journey was not as hard as either the Moon Pool or the Moonstone, she had heard from other cats. StoneClan's ancestors had never known the Moon Pool, and it was too long ago for them to remember the Moonstone. Their sacred places had been fairly close since they had left the other four Clans.

"We must not speak until the ceremony is over, until you walk from the Moon Tree and the Little Mountain as Deadstar. Once we reach the Moon Tree, you should lie among the roots and StarClan will send you sleep," she spoke, looking over at him before leading him forward, into the cave that led to the Moon Tree. It did not take long to reach it and she climbed among the knarled roots until she found a place suitable to rest until Deadgaze's ceremony had ended.

_{Deadgaze nodded to the medicine cat as he padded up to the tree. He soon laid down on the ground, waiting for the dreams to come to him. Over time he opened his eyes tp see Ashclaw padding over to him. He purred happy to see his black coated mother again. He saw the joy in her eyes, and he knew that he had made her proud.}

Ashclaw padded over to him touching noses with him. "With this life I give you nobility use it well to guide your clan." she meowed. She soon stepped back from her son, "I'll be the one giving you your signs for you clan." she added.

Deadgaze yowled as pain went though his body, he stood there shaking. [/sub][/blockquote][/color]

((you can just do the ceremony yourself if you want... since you've got the cats all picked out and what not and Deadstar isn't one of the cats who will receive the prophecy.... I'm going to have Tigerlily get it now though, in a dream of her own.))

Although Tigerlily should have stayed awake, watching over her new leader while he shared dreams with StarClan, it seemed StarClan had their own plans for the young medicine cat and sent her sleep as well.

Blinking open her eyes, she sat bolt upright. This was not the Little Mountain and the Moon Tree! Frantically, she looked around, everywhere a high cluff face surrounded her and the beginnings of a river flowed from some secret place that called to her. Unknowing, she padded carefully toward this placeand slipped inside, the water flowing fast only a mouse-length from her paws. Her fur standing on end, she padded around a small corner only to meet a strangely glowing moss, and sitting among this moss, her mentor, Echosong. She must be the only StarClan cat not at Deadgaze's ceremony. This must be very important....

Her eyes widened in surprise. It had been a while since she had seen the previous medicine cat of StoneClan, back when it was still called SkyClan. She dipped her head in greeting to her former apprentice and spoke, "This is the Shining Cave. Before Sky became Stone, I shared dreams with our ancestors here," she glanced around, giving a broad sweep of her tail before standing and padding over to Tigerlily, her eyes reflecting the soft glow of the moss before clouding over, "Night will fall over the Forest, Trees will block out the Light, a mighty Storm will scatter Stone, Five fall to Four and One falls to flight. A kit finds its mother to take up the fight and the Mountain's peace will crumble and cease...."

It was then that her eyes flew open once more and she sat up slowly, glancing around, the prophecy circling her mind like a hawk. The Clans were only just recovering from the greencough epidemic, whould they now have to face something more terrible in their weakened and vulnerable state?

_{Deadgaze swished his pure black tail as he waited for the next cat to him to him. He gulped as he saw it was his father Dirtmask. His father's eyes show with pride for his son.}

"With this life I give you Mentoring use it well in your clan." he meowed to Deadgaze.

Deadgaze nodded as this time he held back his yowl of pain. He hoped that this wouldn't take too much longer. He wanted to get back to his clan, and pick a deputy soon. He stood still as Darkthunder soon padded up to him. He sighed as the dark black warrior stared right into Deadgaze's eyes.

"With this life I give you Endurance." meowed Darkthunder in a very rough voice.[/sub][/blockquote][/color]
