Cold air rustled around Jaguar as he peered back at Dawnflight who gave him a nod of approval. He looked up with a deep sigh, tonight was important. Very important. He stared at the monstrous willow trees that bowed in front of him, their feathery vines brushing the earth with gentle fingers. The world around him was an outstretched, silver grassed meadow, running calmly with the breeze that shook at their spines. The full moon glided carelessly above him, slowly but ever so surly moving across the night sky, its radiant light blotting out the numerous stars. His muscles tensed as a sense of anxiety claws at his stomach. He looked back at Dawnflight once more, fear shielding his eyes. His lips pursed to form the words 'Are you sure?' Dawnflight looked at him with pride and once mor gave him a nod.
The silence seemed to swallow any other sound, its was creepy and he didn't like it. With a final deep breath, he slid lithely through the curtain of willow leaves, his vision swimming with the pale colors of the branches. He glanced to the side, her fur still brushing the thick willow and swore he saw the outline of many cats running at a slow motioned pace. Panic struck him and he looked to the other side, his paws picking up speed. There again he saw more cats, some looking at him, their eyes only bluish holes within their skulls. He felt the need to scream as he sprinting through the branches, desperatley trying to find a way out.
Suddenly the branches thinned, and moonlight shimmered on something that rippled in a small hole. He slowly walked towards the core of the tree, moonlight sifting through the gaps within the leaves, and looked down at the ground. Roots twined around each other, knotting and twisting in such a way that it made a pattern of designs that reached to the tip of the tree's trunk. A wooden root basin full of rainwater lay within the tangled mess, moonlight shining brightly. He dipped his head and placed his pink tongue on the surface of the water. Ice swam through his body and he gasped for air, but a sense of calm overwhelmed him and he fell to the ground in a deep rest.
Jaguar blinked repeatedly, clearing his murky vision. Around his, cats of all sorts bustled and placed themselves of rock shelves and overhanging tree limbs, their fur of blue tint and sparkling stars. A huge starry cat strode towards him its fur fading into that of an inky black with a deep scar over his eye. "Today," his voice boomed, "Is the Dawning of a new Leader, Jaguar you were summoned by StarClan to become the new leader of DawnClan. And we approve of this summon. Now you shall receive your nine lives." he said, his gaze warm and calming. "I, Voidstar, give you your first life, it will be that of Wisdom. Use it only for the good of your Clan and for times of dire need." he purred. The tom towered over him and placed his muzzle on Jaguar's shoulder. A sense of warmth flooded through his muscles, relaxation poured over him.
A pair of orange and black tabby acts made their way to him, one a tom one a she-cat. "Jaguar," they repeated in exact synchronization, "we, Firetail and Heatfur, give you your second and third lives. They shall be that of Guidance and Power. Use them for protection and leadership for your Clan." they meowed once more in sync. The two cats, with tails twined, pressed their muzzles on both of his shoulders. Pain shocked his body and made him twitch for a minute but he bowed his head gratefully anyway.
A silver, slender she-cat pressed through the crowed, a patch of white fur on her chest in the shape of a feather. A smile marked her face, her paws didn't stop twitching. "Jaguar, its an honor to meet you. My name is Swallowfeather, and I shall give you your fourth life. I was the swiftest in my clan, both in the mind and paws. Your fourth life is that of Agility, in time of crises it is necessary to escape and help your Clan at the same time." she purred, her tail curled up. She stood and lay her maw on his head. Jaguar's muscles tensed and his paws itched to run for ages. He nodded again and waited for the next cat. A bright gold tom cat strode to him with an unsettling aura of grace. Warmth bellowed from him, and wisdom and kindness flowed in his bright gold eyes. "Jaguar, my name is Lionpride, Deputy of the former SnowClan of the eastern sky. I am here to grant you your fifth life...Love. As a forewarning, love can be one of the most wonderful sensations...but it can also be the most painful feeling if used against you. Use it wisely and with care." he meowed, his deep voice making him feel like a kit. The tom placed his nose on Jaguar's heart and a sense of tingling and kindness ebbed at him. Suddenly a feeling of icy pain stabbed at his ribs and heart, making Jaguar screech with pain. He staggered up, panting and nodded thankfully.
Four cats strode towards him, each of their tails and paws interlocked. A black tom and a white she-cat looked exactly as Heatfur and Firetail had, mystery and shadows swirling around them. And a Brown she-cat and tabby tom stood together, closeness seeping from their aura. The black and white cats came forwards. "We are Noxmoon and Equicresent. We grant you the lives of Loyalty and Bravery. Use them to an advantage and use them frequently, they will prove useful to you in the future." said the black tom, the white cat stared at him and pressed her nose of his shoulder. A less painful feeling settled in his heart and he nodded gratefully. "Wisely young one," said the white she-cat before the two strode off into the crowd of cats, their fur fading back into blue outlines with stars. The tabby and brown she-cat came next. "Hello, we are Falconbeak and Heatherfang." called the Brown she-cat. "We grant you the lives of Forgiveness and Kindness as we have learned here. Use them carefully, for they also can be used against you." mewed the tabby tom. They touched their noses to Jaguar's shoulders and stepped back to let Voidstar reappear.
"You have received your nine lives and now you shall receive your final name. From now on Jaguar shall be known as Jaguarstar! StarClan honors you for your willingness to leave home and lead these cats." he meowed. Tilting back his head his voice rang through the hollow as did all of the voices of StarClan. "Jaguarstar, Jaguarstar, Jaguarstar!"
Jaguarstar closed his eyes and let the sounds arouse him from his sleep.

Jaguarstar pushed through the willows again, seeing Dawnflight perched gracefully on a rock not too far. Silently he padded towards her, not wanting to startle her. He looked at her with a smile and nodded, padding silently next to her back to SunsetClan.
