Monarch of Glory-Part 7

Dreamstar padded out of her den, with Ripplestar and the other tom following. She jumped onto the LakeRock, and was about to cal the clan together, when she realized that all were in the clearing. There were gaps in the walls in some places, and cats worked busily on them. Widening and strengthening the camp. She nodded.

"Cats of LakeClan! Ripplestar, and his deputy, Quivershadow, have come here because Ripplestar shall be joining LakeClan!"

Most cats gasped in anger, but some only nodded, as if in saying "finally".

"There are very important reasons why he is joining, not just because he is my mate...more then that! he needs to be here!"

The cats murmured amongst one another.

"But he might very well leave someday! he has important matters for being here, and if he decides that after these matters are sorted out, he wants to go back to his own clan and lead again, Quivershadow shall let him be leader again! Ripplestar and Quivershadow are going to their meeting place, the MoonValley so Quivershadow can receive his nine lives, and become Quiverstar. And so Ripplestar can give up his nine lives, and become Rippleblaze once again. But if he does decide to leave, he will become Ripplestar once more, and Quivershadow will go back to being deputy until Ripplestar's final breaths..."

Dreamstar nodded.

"They shall be back tomorrow. Probably a bit after Sun-high. Ripplestar shall be fully welcomed here. That is all!"

Dreamstar jumped down off of the LakeRock and spoke a few words to Ripplestar and Quivershadow, before they left for the MoonValley.

-------------------------------------------------

BEFORE THE MEETING....IN DREAMSTAR'S DEN

Dreamstar's eyes widened as Ripplestar said his fate.

"W-why?"

Dreamstar stuttered and looked back and forth between Quivershadow and Ripplestar. Ripplestar nodded again.

"I need to be here. I was almost told to be here....to protect you and this clan. I received a prophecy."

Her mouth opened wide in shock, and she could barely whisper, let alone speak.

"What was the prophecy about?"

Ripplestar had to strain to hear what Dreamstar said, but he understood.

"This is the exact prophecy...

The Clover darkens over the light, so bright. Dreams fade into the Dewdrops of blood, and only a Ripple of life may save the Dreams.

When the sun diminishes, all life will live, if saved."


Dreamstar's eyes blanked out. What did it mean? Ripplestar defiantly needed to be here. She knew that Dream was her, and Ripple was Ripplestar. But what about the rest? She was about to ask when Ripplestar shook his head.


"I have not yet figured it out yet. I shall ask my, well soon to be Quivershadow's, medicine cat, Featherblaze, you remember him, right? Oh right, back tot eh subject. I will ask him when we head back to camp to get strengthening herbs for our journey to the MoonValley."


Dreamstar nodded. he must know that she would have said yes. She was about to talk, when Ripplestar continued to talk.

"Featherblaze recently got an apprentice. Dewpaw. She's very good. Oh, and you should announce this to your clan...We'll be back tomorrow probably a bit after Sun-high."

Dreamstar smiled, forgetting what she was going to say, and padded out of her den with Ripplestar and Quivershadow following.

MAJOR CONSTRUCTION!!

(not an official post)

I am going to be doing A LOT of changes on this blog, trying to fix the saving problem. So, all pictures will be completely messed up while I do this. Do not worry though. Pray that it works! :(

Monarch of Glory-Part 6

*Dreamstar half limped in with the cats who had gone to the gathering. She jumped onto the LakeRock, steadying herself, so she didn't fall into the shallow hole.*

All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here beneath the LakeRock for a clan meeting!

*Cats padded out of their dens, and sat down.*

Everything went fine at the gathering. Some leaders got into a small, small fight, but it was soon sorted out! Other then that, everything was fine!

*Dreamstar's eyes glinted as she remembered how petalstar was acting.*

Petalstar is sick, but she will be fine. We will not take advantage of this.

*Dreamstar smiled, and thought of who could be Darkpaw's and Faithkit's real father, because Rockstorm totally wasn't. Petalstar re-acted too suspicious and jerky for Rockstorm to be the father.*

We shall send out hunting patrols and border patrols. Also, I want all mentors to train their apprentice's battling moves! We need to be ready in case their is an attack. The rebuilding is going good, and remember, don't open too many walls at a time, that could be very bad.

*The LakeClan cats nodded, and muttered to each other. Dreamstar nodded, and was about to dismiss the clan, when a warning yowl was heard. Dreamstar looked to the entrance of the den to see Smokesun, Driftbreeze, Pinedapple, Thornbranch, and Snowleaf, came in. They were surrounding two cats, and didn't open up until they reached the bottom of the LakeRock. Smokesun hissed.*

 I think this is for you Dreamstar.

*The cats parted, and pushed forward Ripplestar, and another tom. Ripplestar shot the warriors a look, before he licked his chest fur.*

Dreamstar, if we may talk to you in your den.

*Ripplestar dipped his head. Dreamstar lifted her head and thought for a moment.*

Yes, follow me.

*Dreamstar nodded and leaped off of the LakeRock.*

Meeting dismissed!

*Dreamstar padded into her den and heard murmurs spreading through the LakeClan cats.*

--------------------------------------------------

*Dreamstar settled into the moss on the ground and nodded for Ripplestar and the other tom to sit.*

Why have you come?

*Ripplestar nodded.*

This is my deputy, Quivershadow. We have come, because I wish to join your clan...

(To be continued! XD )

Monarch of Glory-Part 5

Ripplestar sat on the Mossledge, and looked at his clan. Cats were sharing tongues, and coming in from Sunset patrols. He sighed and shook his head. It was the gathering, and now he had to make his choice. But what if Dreamstar still didn't allow him? What then? Ripplestar sighed and spotted his deputy, Quivershadow, organizing Moon-high patrols. Dovefall had died in a battle shortly after she had been made deputy. Quivershadow was the best choice for deputy, and he was an excellent deputy. Someday, hopefully, Quivershadow would be leader. Maybe tomorrow, maybe on Ripplestar's final breath. Ripplestar saw Quivershadow look over to Ripplestar, and smile faintly. Quivershadow was already pretty much leader. Ripplestar didn't do much, he was always too lost in thought to think about his clan. He could be Rippleblaze again, protect Dreamstar with his single life.

"Quivershadow, may I speak to you?"

Ripplestar called to Quivershadow, and jumped off the Mossledge to his den under the Mossledge. He heard Quivershadow pad in, and Ripplestar turned to face him.

"What do you think I should do Quivershadow? You know I love Dreamstar, and I want to be with her..."

Ripplestar looked away. He looked up to see Quivershadow smiling slightly.

"Follow your heart. I can not make your decisions for you. If you leave, we will miss you, and understand your choice, but I promise to be a good leader."

Ripplestar smiled at Quivershadow. Quivershadow was always so wise, and knew exactly what to say, at any given moment. Quivershadow would make a great leader. Ripplestar smiled.

"Thank-you Quivershadow. You have helped me greatly..."

Quivershadow nodded, and took those words as a dismissal, so he left the den. Ripplestar tucked his paws under him, and looked around. If he left, would he miss his den? He didn't know if he would like to be crowded again in the Warrior's Den. Ripplestar sighed and closed his eyes, hoping to find an answer in his dreams....

Ripplestar opened his eyes. He was in small clearing, light barely coming through. He looked around to see a cat padding over to him. Ripplestar's eyes widened with joy, and he padded over to nuzzle the StarClan cat.

"Reedstar, why have you visited me?"

Reedstar stared at Ripplestar like he hadn't heard a word he said.

"The Clovers darkens over the light, so bright. Dreams fade into the Dewdrops of blood, and only a Ripple of life may save the Dreams."

Ripplestar stared at Reedstar blankly. 

"W-what is that supposed to mean Reedstar?!"

Reedstar shook his head, and slowly turned around, and padded away. But before he went back into the undergrowth, he looked back at Ripplestar.

"When the sun diminishes, all life will live, if saved."

Reedstar nodded, and then padded away, leaving Ripplestar trembling where he stood. 

Ripplestar woke in his den gasped for breath. He looked around, the words echoing in his head. He had made his choice, and would tell his clan soon enough....

(I am going to write what happened at the gathering later. Got to go now.)
