27 Lives

[Oceanstar]

Fallenstar , Arrowstar

So it was done. Darkstar had been declared missing...or dead. There was a part of Jackalfrost that felt a little relieved at this, but he tried not to tell on it. Those thoughts made him an awful person. Even if Darkstar had been a little.....eccentric at times.

The Fireclan deputy padded solemnly towards the Shimmering Rocks, mind in his own world. Would Cloudclan accept him? Would he make a good leader? He felt apart from himself and remarkably confused, something which he liked to claim didn't happen often. He didn't pay attention to most of the journey to the holy place. In fact, the only thing to shake him out of his thoughts was noticing that there was already another cat standing by the pool. His fur bristled as he approached. "Identify yourself!"

[Arrowstar]

Arrowstrike padded to the Shimmering Rocks. It had been a hard decision to go ahead and take control of the clan, but it seemed like Spiderstar was never going to come back. It was unfortunate, given how much the deputy respected the TreeClan leader and admired him. He was forever grateful to the tom for allowing him back into his clan.

A small, nervous sigh left Arrowstrike's mouth as he mad his way to the pool. He sat there, taking a moment before going into the spirit realm. Just as he was about to touch the water, the scent of a FireClanner filled his nose. Whipping around, hackles already raised, he spotted the FireClan deputy.

"Jacklefrost...?" he said, narrowing his eyes. "Why are you here?"

[Fallenstar]

Fallenriver was ready for this. He had taken the liberty of helping IceClan return to their home and ceased to keep them in their sad and pathetic state of living in a barn. He'd joined their ranks and helped them out for moons, having led the rovers. But he'd decided to take control of the situation and take over things. He was planning to do things on his own accord. The scent of other Clan's filled the air as he made his way to the shimmering rocks. He grinned, looks like there were some cats that were coming to play the same game today.

Fallenriver joined them, keeping his distance but retaining a bored and frankly dull expression. "Oh boy." He chimed with an air of sarcastic enthusiasm.

[Oceanstar]

Jackalfrost's eyes widened when he noticed that the cat ahead of him was Arrowstrike. If the Treeclan deputy was around, that had to mean that something had befallen Spiderstar. The tom frowned and padded over to the other deputy. "Same thing as you I imagine."
He turned when yet another individual approached, then sighed. Another deputy? It couldn't be. This seems like a really bad sign," he muttered pessimistically, turning towards the pool. "Three new leaders in one night? Has to be some kind of record."

[Arrowstar]

Arrowstar held a rather grim expression as Jackalfrost padded beside him. "I suppose so." just then, another cat approached, this one more unfamiliar to him. The TreeClan deputy's gaze flicked over to the FireClanner, a small question in his amber eyes before looking back at the IceClanner.

"Perhaps we should check on RockClan and see if they are actually alive or not as well," Arrowstrike muttered, shaking his head. "Let's get going then?"

[Oceanstar]

Jackalfrost turned from the pair, impatient to get back to his clan. They were without a leader or a deputy and he didn't like how it felt so vulnerable. He crouched down upon the rocks and lapped up some of the freezing water, his tail twitching. He fell asleep quickly.

The final cat stepped forward and Jackalfrost recognized her as Thymefrost, a young Fireclan warrior who had passed on. He recalled she had been the daughter of a medicine cat, and was glad Cloudclan had welcomed her anyway.

<sub>Thymefrost floated towards Jackalfrost. She could hardly believe it. She could FLOAT now. But it was also time for a serious matter, and the young she-cat tried her best to appear stern. Unfortunately Jackal was an old friend and she struggled. A new Fireclan leader had been a long time coming, and it was the hope of many that Fireclan could finally be brought into the light and cleansed. There was to be a new change, and Thymefrost wanted Jackalfrost to be the leader. She would make him a beacon of hope, and through him, a tide would wash through Fireclan.

"Spirits of Cloudclan, yo know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what he is. By my authority, and with the approval of your warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on he will be known as Oceanfern, for the tide of change that will sweep throughout the clan."
