(Hawkstar last, I think. Hollow first?)
Wildfire obediently took his deep breath, and closed his eyes, letting himself journey to StarClan. His head grew slightly dizzy, but he shook himself clear of this. For my Clan. He whispered to himself, stabilizing his state of mind. And when he opened his eyes, he was blinded by starlight.

(Sounds good!)
"You must be surprised by how bright it can be here." Hollowstar approached Wildfire with a strong step, a brown and black footed spectre flecked with starlight.
"Greetings, Wildfire. Here, you shall be granted your nine lives, to become leader of Snowclan. I am Hollowstar, leader before Hawkstar, leader suceeding Snowstar. I will deliver your first life."

Wrenlight bowed her head, touching her nose to the chilly surface closed her eyes.
When she reopened them she was surrounded by cats with starlight in their fur. She smiled happily, Wrenlight always loved visiting Starclan. It saddened her that her true ancestors did not walk here. She glanced around, many cats were waiting for them to arrive.

Wildfire smiled sheepishly. "I've heard many tales of you, Hollowstar. I am eager to accept the life you have to give me." He admitted, dipping his head slightly. The nerves that had prickled his coat had all but disappeared, only to be replaced with a feeling of calmness and belonging.

"I'm happy to hear that." Hollowstar purred, before he padded close to Wildfire and pressed his nose to his forehead. "Your first life shall be that of Acceptance. When I was a kit, I was brought into the clan and kept warm by Snowstar and Jayheart without hesitation. I grew alongside my clanmates and learned how to serve the clan who saved me. And one day, I became deputy, and another, leader. One not related to Snowstar's family, but who loved her all the same. Had I not been accepted, I never would have lived. So I urge you to accept not only those who prove themselves, but those who do not think like you or look like you. And most importantly. You shall learn to accept yourself."

Wildfire closed his eyes, and a sense of calming washed through him, first cool, then warm. It was a pleasant feeling, one that made him feel comfortable. "Thank you." He purred, looking up at Hollowstar once the sensation ended and he had pulled away slightly.

Hollowstar nodded, turning to pad back to his spot, sitting near the other 8 life givers.
Hawkstar stood tiny yet regal among the larger Snowclan cats, gazing at Wildfire.

Wildfire looked around at the group, wondering who was next to give him a life. He burst into a huge grin, green eyes lighting up, when he saw Hawkstar, hoping that his former leader would be granting him one of his lives. However, it wasn't Hawkstar that approached next, but a medium-sized jet-black tom with spiky fur and green eyes much like his own. He had never seen this cat before, who must have lived long before the Collapse, and yet he felt strangely connected to him. The tom grinned at him, starry green eyes sparkling, before he touched his nose to Wildfire's forehead. "With this life, I give you humility. May this life remind you that despite being leader, the opinions of others matter as well, and just because you make the laws doesn't mean you should use them for your own advantages. May this life let you lead with respect and humbleness. Never forget who you were, and what you came from." A chilling wave rippled through the ginger tom's body, and he bowed his head further as the black tom pulled away, and rejoined the crowd, taking his place next to a large white cat.

A large sandy brown tom with white paws and a white muzzle approached Wildfire, giving a thick and calm purr. "I'm pleased to see you've come so far to take my place, Wildfire. I lived a long and good life, and serving as deputy was a delight. But I was not destined to be leader. It's just how it is, and I was always fine with that." Watersplash chuckled.
He pressed his nose to his forehead.
"With this life I give you empathy. As a deputy, or a leader, each and every clanmate has their own struggles, and the desire to find others who understand. Empathy will always be stronger than sympathy, a notion of understanding by experience. Help your clanmates and do all you can to understand them, to drop to their lowest holes and help them climb back out."

Wildfire was swayed by a burning sense of understanding, his heart feeling momentarily heavy. He looked up to Watersplash with somewhat sorrowful green eyes. "Thank you. There's not a day I don't think about you, and what you did for the Clan. I'm sorry you never got to be leader, but I hope that I can make it up to you with my turn." He smiled, grateful for the life his former deputy had given him.

"Ah. Life works in funny ways. Sometimes flowing with it is the best way you can live." Watersplash purred leasurely, calm as water itself. He turned to pad and sit back next to Hawkstar.

Wildfire couldn't help but chuckle at the tom's joke, and his green eyes glittered with joy. He looked around the crowd of starry pelts, curious as to who was next.

A lithe figure stepped out of the line of Starclan cats. Willowbreeze uncurled her dappled tail from her paws, rising to face Wildfire. Willowbreeze's emerald eyes locked with Wildfire's gaze.

Wildfire met the she-cat's emerald gaze, sensing purpose in the intensity of the lock. He swished his tail slightly. The ginger tom's gut said there was more to this cat than a life, perhaps.

Hawkstar glanced at Willowbreeze, eyes wide and saddned. She had been left in the caves as well, and guilt ate at him. How could they have never known? He watched silently.

The golden she-cat spoke, "I was one of the cats left after the caves collapsed, however, it gave me an opportunity to turn my life around." Willowbreeze smiled forgiving at Hawkstar before turning back to the ginger tom. "I was able to live happily with the cat I had loved for so long."
She stepped closer to Wildfire, "I know you will lead the Clan in the right path. However, this cannot be done overnight. You must have patience with the Clan, as they will have with you."

Wildfire's gaze saddened. "I cannot imagine how long you waited... If you can have that kind of patience, I must then, also. And, if you don't mind my asking... were there others who survived alongside you and your mate?" Suddenly the young leader had a bad feeling about the situation.

Willowbreeze's gaze hardened, as she remembered the anguish and disaster that had unfolded. "There were a few others, however, the rest who did not make it out of the caves perished. No one could have predicted this catastrophe."
The warrior shifted to a more positive tone, "Loss and suffering is inevitable, however, the way it effects you can either be negative or positive. You must never allow it to consume you, always find the will to push through." Willowbreeze touched noses with Wildfire, purring, "With this life I give you perseverance. In times of struggle, use it as a shimmering veil of hope and endurance. You must become steadfast and rooted; an immovable force in which your Clan can consistently depend on in times of need."

Wildfire felt a solid force course through him, rooting his paws to the ground. His breath held firm, and he felt no weakness when the wave ceased.
He looked up at the dappled she-cat. "And what of the survivors?" He asked gravely.

Willowbreeze turned before to rejoining Starclan in the line, she purred ominously, "Do not fret, you will hear of them soon."

(I'll add your cats in the morrow, lovely.)
Wildfire dipped his head, and waited for the next cat.

In the stars with the history of the clan swirling around in the dust and in the passed elders, a small sver she-cat was to deliver the next life. Angelsong stepped forward, her reluctance to leave the mate she had recently been rejoined with evident in her slow movement towards the center. A soft spoken cat at heart, it took the fallen warrior a moment to speak before so many important members of her clan. "It's a pleasure to be given the honor to present you with a life, Wildfire." She began sweetly, her voice soft and melodic. "I know you have waited long for this moment, and I would like to acknowledge that virtue. When I was alive, I spent moons waiting for a certain leader," she shared a knowing glance with her mate, "to return home. I was unsure of where he was, what he was doing, what I should be doing. More recently, I have waited many moon cycles here in the clouds for my beloved to return." Stepping forward on light feet, Angelsong touched her nose to the deputy's. "With this life I give you patience. I hope it gives your heart and mind rest as you let events play themselves out." With a smile, she returned to her mates side, leaning heavily against him as a sign of love.

Hawkstar's eyes softened at his mate's words, watching her give a life to his deputy. He pressed close to her, having never been more happy in his life to be with her again. His heart raced quickly at the prospect of giving the final life.

Wildfire accepted the life with that which he was given; patience. The she-cat was quite lovely, and a familiar scent clung to her silvery pelt, one that made him feel comfortable. Or, perhaps it was the life, as he felt a calm aura now more than ever before. He glanced towards all the cats, no longer eager to finish the ceremony.

Once the area cleared once more, and dark grey, almost black tom with silver specks and fiery amber eyes padded up to the deputy. Nightflame glanced at him up and down, not smiling but certainly just as accepting as everyone else here.
"I tried to do the same thing you are doing here. Called out to Starclan to see if they would allow me to bring what we believed was the last of Snowclan back together. It was not to be, and it was then we realized that others had lived...and that a new leader, our new leader had already been chosen. My mate, Echoshine, she tried. Willowbreeze and her mate, Smokewave. They tried to receive lives as well. But we could not."
He paused, shaking his head.
"Finally we realized that we had to keep our group together without the architecture of the clan, for the hope that one day we would all come back home. We took care of eachother and hunted for eachother, bled and fought for each whisker and claw of every cat we had in our group. We grew angry, some grew bitter, but deep down we never lost the one thing that kept us together...Even when I was saved from fires in my kithood, it was Snowclan that cherished me, so I cherished it right back. I still do."
He padded closer, pressing his nose to Wildfire's head.
"I am Nightflame. With this life I give you loyalty. This burning gift is a flame in you that can never die. Use this gift to share with those who can show it to you, and to those who may be gone, but cannot be forgotten." He spoke.
(Hahaha, really long since Im on a computer for once ^^' )

Wildfire accepted the life with great expectancy of another pleasant sensation, but loyalty was quite the opposite. It burned like fire, coursing through him and making him feel solid as stone. It left him shaky, but ready.

Nightflame gazed at him a while longer, before the faintest of grins adorned his muzzle, pride faint in his voice as he nodded. "Good choice in your deputy, Wildfire. She comes from a good family." He winked with a deep chuckle, before his face straightened once more, and he stepped back.

Wildfire looked with slight confusion at Nightflame's remarks. He was surprised that StarClan had known he had chosen Owlshadow, but he also was unsure of her exact lineage, as her father's parents had been lost in the Collapse. He knew she was Hawkstar's grandkit, yes, but besides that he didn't know much else. Unless, of course, that was who this strange cat meant.
