Journey to the Moonpool

[Shadewing]

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] the count;; 318 the cat;; Shadewing the involved;; Drydusk, Firepaw, ShadowClan the notes;; Cats going to the moonpool! Shadewing's heart pounded, as he climbed up a tree. The new morning's wind blew his ebony black fur right, and Shadewing closed his icy eyes to think for a moment, and to just let it all set in. He flashed them open. His life.. his only dream.. completed. Shadewing opened his mouth, and boomed: "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather around the broken limb!" he yowled. He had done this once as deputy, when Crowstar couldn't hold a meeting, but this time was the first one Shadewing had held by choice. As the cats gathered around, Shadewing took a breath. Great StarClan, I hope I'm making the correct descision..! "Cats of ShadowClan, you may have heard that Crowstar joined StarClan late yesterday. Now, I, Shadewing, must step up, and become the new leader!" He yowled. There were a few meows and yowls of celebration, or sorrow. "I promise to you, I will lead this clan well. But, first, I must recieve my nine lives. I will bring two cats to guard me on my way. First, I will bring Firepaw," Shadewing glanced down at the cat. "he may only be an apprentice, but he has all of the strength of his father in StarClan." Shadewing nodded at the apprentice. "The last cat I will bring is Drydusk," there were some shocked voices. Drydusk was his rival, enemy even! "Drydusk is my brother, and I trust him to fight with all he has if we get in trouble. He is also very intelligent, which shall help me. The rest of you will stay back to guard the camp. If anyone outside of the clan asks where we are, say we're hunting." After saying that, Shadewing jumped off of the branch, and trotted over to Firepaw. ".. that is, if you want to come. You may mourn your father if you wish.."

Firepaw looked up at his mentor, and listened to his announcement. His father was dead, but Firepaw knew if he mourned for too long, he would look like a kit again. He wanted to be strong. Strong for his mother, his father and his missing sister.

Shadewing jumped off the branch, and walked over to the young tabby tom, saying he could stay and mourn his father if he wished to. Firepaw shook his head gently, he wanted to see the moonpool, and know his father was safe.

"I have to remain strong for my mother." He said to his mentor, the new leader. He stood tall and proud, and looked over to his mother. She would be hit the hardest, especially because she was looking... Plump again. She had to be pregnant, but at least she would have another litter... Firepaw hoped one of them would look like Crowstar himself.
