Rainclan's territory is in a large oak forest with a pond that has a small stream connected to it that snaked throughout the easy part of the territory. A moon ago there was a prophecy scent by starclan to the medicine cat, they have yet to decipher it: At the head of dawn, shadows will grow. Leaves will burn, but seeds will sow. When the moon is black, and blood does cry, The time for ice will surely rise.

( That's a good territory description, sounds good. I can start if you want. )
Icesong padded back to camp, a fat thrush in her jaws. Her patrol followed her closely, all carrying prey. Their hunting trip had been successful and they would easily feed the expecting queens and elders. One thought nagged at her though, what was the meaning of the prophecy? She didn't even know what two prophecy was. The medicine cats had hinted that they had received one at the last gathering, but hadn't told the Warriors what it was yet.

"Cloudstar is dead!" A yowl came from the leaders den. Dawnstep raised her head and dashed to the leaders den, pushing past the warrior who had yowled. "What happened?" The deputy growled, looking down at the limp leader. A half eaten mouse lay next to the leader, half of a dark red berry sitting next to the leaders mouth.

Icesong heard the wail as she entered camp with the prey. Shock raced through her, she thought that the leader had many lives left! Cloudstar had been her leader since she had been born, he had been there ever since she coudl remember. He had performed all her ceremonies! What would they do without him? Dawnstep wou do have to be their new leader, and she would have to take a new deputy, the cycle would continue. Icesong figuired that Leaftail would be the new deputy, he was strong and brave.

Aqua yes, but we do have a plot that only storm and I know)) Dawnstep lashed her tail. 'Poisoned.' She thought in anger and grief. "Help me bring him to the center of camp so the clan can morn for him." She instructed the warrior who had announced the leader's death. Together they dragged him to the center of the clearing and gently laid him down. "Let all cats gather!" She yowled, her voice steady, though she was filled with grief and anger, she knew who had murdered Cloudstar.

Scarletshade, a well-respected warrior just returned from a hunting patrol. She instantly saw her dead lead and let out a screech of horror, rushing over to Cloudstar. "What happened?" she screeched.

"He was poisoned." Dawnstep responded in a soft voice. "We will wait until every cat has gathered than we can properly send him off to starclan." She me owed, forcing her voice to stay steady.

Frostblood woke from her slumber at the distressed cry. She stretched and swiped her tounge over her red and silver dappled pelt. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw cats beginning to gather around the leader's den. Frostblood began to walk towards the den, dreading what she would discover.

((Okay.))
Birchwillow's ears perked up as he turned to the group of cats gatherinh at his leader's dead body. "Oh...." his voice was low and soft, filled with concern, but hiding grief. With a flick of his tail, he padded over. He wasn't angry, or that sad, even. He was at peace. He was probably one of the only cats who just stared the leader's corspe. "Hmmmm.."

Frostblood felt nausous as she gazed upon Cloudstar's still body. The fur rose along her spine, and her legs felt weak. She forced herself to calm down. She wondered of his killer was amongst them, and if more cats would be killed.

"I know this is hard, it's always hard to say goodbye to such a good cat and an even better leader." Dawnstep announced, her tail swishing in grief. "Cloudstar, may Starclan light your path and guide your paws so you may have endless hunting and joy." She spoke before laying down and laying her muzzle in his chest fur. She would morn until dusk, then she would leave for the Moonstone.

Scarletshade unsheathed her claws.Who would do this? she wondered. Who would be cruel enough to kill a well-respected leader? Someone clearly murdered him in his own Clan. Scarletshade's gaze raked across the entire Clan, but their expressions gave nothing away except grief.

Birchwillow nervously twitched his tail, trying to slip away. He hated crowds, abd grew claustrophobic. Finally managing to slip out he tried to leave unnoticed.

Icesong lay her head down near Cloudstar's head and just stared in to his lifeless eyes as she began her vigil, she had once been saved by the leader when she'd almost fallen in to a fast running stream without being able to swim. He'd saved her then, who would save her now? No, she wouldn't need saving, she could save herself now. She was smarter and stronger than the petty little apprentice she had used to be when he had saved her. " May you live on in peace," she whispered to him, her tail pushing his eyelids down so he appeared asleep.

its fine)
Dawnstep got to her paws, looking down sadly at Cloudstar. "I must go to retrieve my nine lives, watch the clan for me while I'm gone." She mewed quietly to Icesong before padding out of camp. After what seemed like ages she finally arrived, the moon was starting to creep up the side of the sky as she padded down to the moonstone. She laid down and touched her nose to the stone, waking up in a large grassy clearing, forms of starry cats in front of her. "Welcome Dawnstar." A cat spoke, padding forward. "For your first life, I give you pride. Use this life to know the worth both you and your clan possess, but use it wisely." It was a pretty white tabby who spoke with a kind, but serious tone. Icestripe touched noses with Dawnstar and a burst of energy and slight pain spread through her body. Then Icestripe padded back into the ranks of starclan and the next cat padded out. "For your second life, I give you patience. Don't rush into uncertainty, use this life so that you may learn to understand what is unclear to you and so that you may make better choices." It was her mentor who spoke, a pretty black, orange and white dappled she-cat with a torn ear. They touched noses and another surge of energy and power surged through her.

Icesong nodded to her before settling down, and gazing at the clan and keeping an eye out. " Emberfang, could you watch the entrance, choose a friend to go in lookout with you. Dawnstep asked me to look out for the clan so I wad just hoping you'd do it fir me," She mewed to the ginger Tom. " Of course, anything for you Icesong," Emberfang mewed warmly. Icesong purred as she kept walking to an elevated spot where she could see the whole camp. Emberfang carrot to where he and his friend, Waspwing, a black Tom sat at the entrance together.

The next life was courage, the fourth was hope, the fifth was strength, the sixth was mercy, the seventh was trust, the eighth was determination and the ninth was confidence. "I hail you by your new name, Dawnstar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of Rainclan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity." It was the deputy before her who spoke, Brambletalon. She looked into the gathered starclan cats, wondering why it wasn't Cloudstar who had spoken, but before she could find him, if he was even there, she blinked open her eyes to find herself back next to the moonstone, her body cold but full of strength and energy. Dawnstar got to her paws and began back towards her clan.

Icesong fell asleep, blue eyes closed and her white fluffy tail over her nose. She dreamt that she was standing before a lake, the dawn sky was beautiful, suddenly it turned blood red and a brown striped Tom was wailing as he drowned in the lake. She woke with a jolt and sat up, shaking herself fro, the nightmare. It was just a stupid dream. She shrugged her shoulders and took yo a sitting position, watching over the cats still mourning in the clearing, most sleeping as the elders began to emerge to take the body.

By the time Dawnstar reached camp it was already dawn and she could see the elders beginning to prepare Cloudstar's body for the burial. She leaped onto the announcement stone, she would wait until the elders buried the former leader's body before making the announcements. ... Once the elders returned back to camp, Cloudstar no loner with them, she began the clan meeting. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather below for a clan meeting!" She yowled, her voice ringing clear and loud through the camp.

A large black tom pushed through the ivy hanging from the warriors den, hearing Dawnstar's calling. He too had mourned for the former leader, saddened by his death, but the tom was known to look on the positive side of things, even in situations like this, despite his strong, silent personality. His tail wrapped around his paws as he sat below highrock, his piercing amber eyes gazing up at his new leader.

"As you might know, Cloudstar was poisoned. There was a half eaten yew berry next to the prey he was eating. Earlier that day, I recall Leaftail going into Cloudstar's den and in his den I picked up fresh traces of his scent. I can only assume that it was Leaftail who killed Cloudstar, therefore as my first act as leader, for the safety of all the cats in Rainclan, I banish him from ever steeping foot in our territory. If he is found, he must be chased out immediately." Dawnstar announced, her cold glare piercing Leaftail.

Icesong had sat patiently among the Warriors but at the mention of the treachery she howled pit in indignation, along with many other Warriors. Cries of shock were going around all of the clan and Leaftail himself was blinking in surprise, eyes wide in shock. " Sister, surely you don't accuse me of killing Cloudstar! He was my mentor! I would never dream of hurting him much less killing him!" Leaftail mewed in shock.

"Leaftail, my brother, all of the said evidence points to you.I'm sorry, but I must do what is best for the clan." Dawnstar meowed, shaking her head in dismay. "My order has been given, I'm sorry but you are no longer accepted in this clan."

" I will return one day, to Rainclan, mark my words, I swear on Cloudstar's last moments, I will one day return to prove I did not kill our leader," Leaftail mewed gravely and with sorrow in his voice. He shot a furious glare at his sister before padding out of camp, tail swishing as he went and his head bowed, shoulders slumped.
Icesong looked on in horror she had trained with him! Ate wit him, hunted and patrolled wit him. He was good!

"It is hard to see my brother go, but I think it's best. I have one more announcement to make." She called the clan's attention back. "I say these words before the spirit of StarClan, so that they may hear and approve my choice. I have thought hard about which cat I would choose and I can't think of any better cat to have by my side. Icesong will be the new deputy of RainclanClan." Dawnstar announced.
