Shadowbreeze stopped at the mouth of the Moontunel, gazing up at the glorious passageway. He padded into the ancient burrow, weaving his way through the darkness to come across the cavern with the gleaming stone reaching up to the stars, beckoning for him. He turned around; making sure Speckleleaf had followed him. Once he was assured he padded over to the ancient stone, struck at the breathtaking scene. Only a handful of cats got to witness the shimmering stone dwelling in the warren, and he was a selected few. The black tom slowly dropped his nose to the cold stone, falling into a deep sleep.

He woke up, glancing around to notice he was in a glistening forest, compressed with starry cats. They all meowed their greeting and stepped closer to him. Welcome, Shadowbreeze. Are you prepared to receive your nine lives?" They all asked together.
Shadowbreeze rose to his paws and said "Yes, I am prepared."
The cats abruptly faded from the clearing like they were but clouds of mist, excluding one cat who had stepped closer to him. At first he couldn't make out his dark figure, but it was all revealed as he got closer to his eyes. It was his father, Blackfang. "With this life I give you courage. Use it well to defend your Clan," he said, pride flooding his eyes. A jolt of pain zapped his body, leaving him baffled.
His father faded along with the others as one cat stepped forward and became clear. This one was a she-cat who was his sister, Shadepaw. She hadn't reached her warrior ship for she was crushed by the Great Quake that ragged in DawnClan. "With this life I give you justice. Use it to outwit your opponents by judging their strengths and weaknesses." Shadepaw reached up to lay her head against his and gave him another jolt of pain.
The next cat that stepped forward was a joyful calico she-cat that bounced up to him. It was clear that this cat was Aspenpaw, his former apprentice that had died during a battle with DawnClan and DuskClan before the Shake. "With this life I give you loyalty. Use it to deepen your strong bond with you Clan," she chirped. Another shock of pain zapped him, but this one wasn't as hostile as the other jolts.
Aspenpaw stepped back as another cat appeared who was broad but slender. He was grey with white stripes slashed across his back. It was his best friend, Swiftfoot. "With this life I give you ongoing energy. Use it complete the tiring forces of being leader," he instructed with his usual stern voice. He smiled as another bolt of pain struck him, but once the pain subsided he could feel his energy flowing as if he could dash around the territory and back.
Swiftfoot dipped his head in goodbye to his old friend as a white tom with grey ears, paws and amber eyes approached him. He was uncertain of him at first but when his eyes meet his curious shade of amber on a white body, it became clear. It was Ashstorm, one of the previous deputies that had not made it to leadership. "With this life I give you protection. Use it to defend and shelter your Clan if your life depended on it." Shadowbreeze was struck with yet another bolt of pain as ferocity enraged him.
A fiery orange tabby she-cat stepped in front of Ashstorm. It was obvious that this was Flametail, his mentor that had taught him all the ways of a warrior. She dipped her head in greeting and spoke, "With this life I give you mentoring. Use it to teach the young cats of our warrior ways and teach them the precious survival skills of hunting and fighting." He felt the usual bolt of pain but by now he had adapted to it.
The next cat was a black and white tom with unusually long legs that he identified as Longstep. He had a frail body and was an elder of DawnClan that had died moons back. "With this life I give you compassion. Use it to care for the cats weaker than you and any other that looks up to you. Look at them equally, as if looking at yourself," he croaked as another zap of pain came from his new life.
He flicked his tail in farewell as a silver she-cat with black spots dotted across her body. Her deep amber eyes contain compassion. It was Ripplestream. "With this life I give you love. Use it for the cats you care for, family, friends, and mates." Shadowbreeze's eyes filled with sorrow as he tensed his muscles for the bolt of pain. Surprisingly, it was not pain that struck him. It was the weeping and pure love that followed instead.
