Judgment and Request[STARCLAN]

[Deleted]

Froststorm stood under the silver gleam of Silverpelt, waiting calmly. He knew what was to be the result of their judgment- StarClan's judgment- but he was surprisingly still. His blue eyes flickered with knowing, but also with a hopeful plan.

There the pale tom stood. He was near the edge of a silver forest, and nearby ran a quickly-paced river. It reminded him greatly of the place he had lived for so many moons. RiverClan. But now, the river did more to remind him of the battle and warrior that had taken his life, and the eye he had thrown into the once pure water.

The thought of the battle did not stir the once familiar feelings of hate and revenge. They were just memories now, as if death had made them unimportant. Actually, all of his thoughts and emotions concerning his life were slowly leaving him. Which would hopefully work to his advantage, regarding his plans.

So there he waited. Waited for judgment day.

Moonshine ran beside the river, chasing black and blue butterflys that shone with a pretty brilliance. Heck, she shone with a briliance. Death had taken the subdued greys and whites she had in her fur and made her shine like a gem under a spotlight. She stopped, looking at Froststorm. "Froststorm?" She mewed curiously, sitting down five feet away from him, her head tilted a tiny bit to the side. Hah, she looked like a kit who saw it's first butterfly.

Froststorm dipped his head to the she-cat. "Greetings, Moonshine. I guess you know what happened at the river." His blue eyes locked with the ghostly she-cats. I suppose I looking something like her, now. "In any case, I know that because of my actions while I was alive, I did not earn a place among StarClan. But... I did have a question. A request of my warrior ancestors." His tabby striped tail swayed gently behind him as he pondered the she-cat's response. Everything depended on it.

[Deleted]

Moonshine nodded. Yes. I know what happened at the river. As gatekeeper, I'm expected to know what goes on in the world below. Moonshine said. Her eyes, searched his for any sign of emotion. What sort of request is it you'd like to ask your ancestors?

[Deleted]

Froststorm dipped his head to Moonshine, closing his eyes calmly to the starry world of the decessed. "I want to be born again. Reincarnated. Now that I can step back and look at my life, my choices, my flaws, I can honestly say that everything I did while I was alive was wrong. I want to live the life I could have chosen but didn't. I just want to be a loyal RiverClan warrior. If I could just forget the life I ruined, I'm sure I could bring some good to make up for it." He looked back at Moonshine with earnest eyes.

[Deleted]

It sounds a fair enough request. You do realize you'd have to wait until the spring to be reborn? And we'd keep a very close eye on you? And you won't remember any of your past life? Moonshine said, looking at him with a curiously blank expression.

(((OOC:Just to let u 2 know-Leo and Cicatrice are going to have some kits and try and raise them in the winter if we get an admins permission...)))

[Deleted]

ooc: If they're allowed, that's okay with me as long as he's raised in RiverClan. He should be busy enough without having to deal with his loner family... :/

Froststorm nodded, his shoulders slightly falling with relief. "Thank you, Moonshine. I understand the wait, and you're watch. After all, I wouldn't trust myself either if I was in your place." He blinked. "Nor would I want to remember my old life. Like I said, I just want a normal, RiverClan life." Then a though crept into his mind. "But until that time comes... What happens to me?"

[Deleted]

Until you are reincarnated you shall get to stay here. We won't send you away. Besides, I'll keep you company. And as gatekeeper it'll be my duty to watch over you when you are reborn. Moonshine said, flicking her tail with a gentle smile. She had always rather liked Froststorm as a cat when they had been alive. They hadn't been hostile towards eachother at any point in time, and when they had seen eachother during the clan meetings they'd exchanged a friendly hello or two. She got up, paddind closer to the river's edge and sitting down again, looking down into it's clear depths. She could see what was going on down there from here. She could watch over her sister, Stareyes; her friend Riddlehawk, who was currently talking with the oddball hairless tom that lived in Thunderclan; her clan leader, the little apprentice Rainpaw; Dappledleaf and Shadowshine. Ah Shadowshine, how most of Moonshine's work focused around that she-cat in particular. Seems as though she couldn't stay out trouble, the sultry little beast.

[Deleted]

Froststorm blinked in understanding and gratitude. Anything would be better than having to stay in that dark forest, where he should have been. Satisfied, he too padded over to the river and curled up beside the bank, listening to the current sweeping by. As he closed his blue eyes, he caught a glimpse of Riddlehawk in the water, bandaged up but otherwise fine. He smiled and closed his eyes. Perfect.

((..I'm just gonna saw MoonShadow is like.. dead.. Cause.. well.. She got her neck stuck in a trap.. although no one replied to it yet. ;/.. I just wanna post. >.<))

A rather "Glowy" black and white figure came padding through, nodding her head towards MoonShine. Her ears flicked back and forth.

"Hello, MoonShine. Who's this?"

She gave a slight nod to the pale tom, which seemed to look rather "Glowy" as well. Of course, it didn't really look like it to her, since she was starting to get used to it, then again, she wasn't. She died not to long ago. Curse those traps in the leaf-bare.

She suddenly realized who it was, which made her ears fold back.

"Oh, nevermind. It's FrostStorm.."

Her ears un-folded, as she sat down.

"How are you?"

She made worried glances at MoonShine, but that was all normal. She was always edgy around this cat.

She moved towards the bank, looking over at the water, seeing NeedleHeart pad off and thinking about killing Riddlehawk.

She let out a snort.

"Wow, NeedleHeart really thinks she can kill RiddleHawk? Oh.. appearently because of something, can't figure out what.. MoonShine, do you wish to tell me?"

She smiled.

A new airy scent drifted toward the sleeping tom. He opened his eyes again, just a crack. Enough to see a new ThunderClan cat with stars in her fur. We're dropping like flies, he thought to himself, then rose to his paws. "You don't have to speak as if I can't hear you. And don't worry, I don't hold hostility. You could say we're all neutral here." The pale tabby stretched his long limbs, then shook out his coat. It was easy to feel peaceful here. Maybe too peaceful. Or perhaps this was how a cat without constant thoughts of hate and revenge always felt. He shrugged it off.

The ghostly tom, now standing, looked down into the river. "Ah, Neetleheart. I must say I'm impressed that she feels the need to carry out my dying wish. I didn't think she'd care after I was dead. However," he added, casting a glance at the two she-cats, "I wish she wouldn't. I don't want her to end up like me." Half truth, half lie.

[Deleted]

Her whiskers twitched, glancing at FrostStorm.

"Why is that?"

She smirked.

"Do you not believe in her? Maybe she's been holding back."

She grinned.

Of course, MoonShadow knew that NeedleHeart won't be able to, she just wanted to push his buttons. Kid around, the usual.

Her ears flicked a bit.

"Now, really, I don't see why she would give your dying wish til it was done. If you know what I mean. Why do you want RiddleHawk dead? Sure, he wounded you badly, but still. I am wounded a lot, just like that trap, you don't see me wanting to kill it."

She joked.

"I kid."

She smirked.

Froststorm smiled. "I've always had confidence in Needleheart's strength and determination. Her loyalty- that's the item in question." A chuckle rumbled in his throat.

"As for Riddlehawk... The answer is simple yet complicated. I wanted revenge. That's the basic answer. But when I was alive, it was so much more. I think I realize it now that I can see my life replay itself before me." His ears flicked to the stream. "I was jealous. He was stronger than me, and I knew it deep down. I wanted to prove my worth over him by killing him and all those he cared about. Bitter hate made it seem so much less pathetic at the time." He shook his head. Maybe its true, but I don't care. Riddlehawk's blood will eventually spill to my claws.

[Deleted]

She smiled, her tail flicking to the scene where CrookedStar was announcing an attack.

"Looks like NeedleHeart might get her chance to prove herself to YOU. Her trust. Of course, I think it is obvious that she doesn't isn't trustworthy to RiverClan at all."

She smirked.
