(( bleh, that sounded like it was out of a textbook or something... >>; ))
Ospreytalon's paws carried him safely across usually enemy territory to the sacred Moonstone. It was here that he was to take his nine lives and his leader name--star--so he would officially be leader of his Clan. However, dark clouds of doubt shadowed his confidence. There had never been a TwilightClan before his generation and those following, and so there were no ancestors of his Clan to grant his rights to him. What if things didn't go as planned?
The behemoth tom shook his head to wipe clean his slate of thoughts, then looked back at his escort (Stripedfoot). This cat he had met when he was an apprentice, one of his first friends in his Clan. Looking at him now, the broad streak of loyalty shone in him, still as bright as it had when they'd first trained together. Osprey sighed, a trace of a smile playing across his face. He turned his head to stay on course.
Eventually, the two came upon the pitch-black cave, its entrance a yawning black chasm. Here Osprey stopped, unsure of what to do next. Of course he was to enter the cave, but was Stripedfoot supposed to follow, or was he to stay behind? No one in the Clan knew, since all had been warriors beforehand; most still were.

Stripedfoot padded beside his friend and leader-to-be loyaly, keeping a straight profile and a quick step. He smiled at Ospreytalon the whole way there, but was confused also. He looked down into the tunnel, confused, and thinking over what to suggest. He smiled, waving his tail. " I could go with you I guess.... I could be like the medicine cat, right? Cause I think two cats go down there... you have a dream or something, and I can wait close by? I guess you could just touch your nose to the moonstone and see what happens.." he suggested, looking slightly up to Osprey, being of smaller profile and thinner muscles... he was more of a windclanner than a shadowclanner, in body shape, than Shadowclan. He was always like this.

Osprey nodded, flicking his tail to signal Stripedfoot to follow. He would trust this cat with... well, with his life. Not many could say they'd truthfully earned that, at least not from this leader. Quickly he vanished into the darkness.
Though he ran into a wall once or twice, Osprey arrived at the Moonstone mostly unscathed. His nose had a small scratch, nothing life-endangering. "Well, this is it then..." he said, padding over to the glowing jewel of a stone in the center of the chamber. He touched his nose to the cool stone, feeling it heal immediately, as he laid down, closing his eyes. Quickly he was in a shadowy forest, surrounded by celestial cat forms, all twinkling brightly.
Osprey recognized no one here, but he supposed that their presence was better than none being there at all. The first of them paced toward him evenly, and the look in their eyes wasn't very optimistic.
(( Whaddya say we make this Mysticstar? ^^ 'Twould be interesting... unless you have a StarClan leader/high position, Shaderz? ))

ooc: nope, only high positions I have alive or dead is med cat (Shadey alive) and Palestar (Alive) Mystic can come it.. twould be interesting... but i can i add a ghost there? ( SCer, Lilypool (he killed her))
Stripedfoot stumbled after his leader, getting a slice through his left toe, but not minding the little bit of blood. He smiled at Ospreytalon, muttering a quick 'Good Luck' before he touched the moonstone, and layed down a ways away from the stone so as not to disturb him.
One of the silvery, waving forms were looking sad. She had the pale, yellowy-orange fur, with white paws and white nose and mouth. Her big green eyes told of ultimate sadness and.. regret. She looked at Ospreytalon shocked. This was the cat he killed not so long ago... Lilypaw, now christened Lilypool by Starclan. Her young tail quivered, shimmering stars.

Besides her appeared the misty body of an elderly cat. The smoke colored feline's fur looked like it wasn't real as it blended with its surroundings. Her deep green eyes were what stuck out from the dark. They pierced Ospreytalon the second they appeared. Sadness filled these eyes as well, but more full of disapointemnt then regret. The elderly leader swayed her head to Lilypool, ripping her eyes off Ospreytalon, and nodded to her, as though she had something to do.
ooc: Osy, wasn'y supposed to get his 9 lives right?

Ospreytalon traced Mysticstar's gaze, and with horror laid eyes on the one cat he'd never hoped to see again. Lilypaw. He averted his stare quickly, though he couldn't escape the look of immense sorrow she'd had all across her expressions. Then, he returned an amber half-glare to the former ThunderClan leader, though it wouldn't stay there, always wandering back to rest on Lilypaw, pool now.
OOC: I dunno... Should we give 'em to him?

Stripedfoot's toe twitched.
Lillypool looked at Mysticstar for a long moment, trying to get what she wanted her to say.... She just looked at him sadly, her heart beating faster, and her shimmery form looked at him, smiling slowly. " Well, hello Osprey. What brings you here? Why have you come to the Moonstone with no leader or medicine cat, but one of your little loyalists, Stripedfoot?" she said, not sure why she felt suddenly happy, her kittish glow coming back as she said her words.

"I'm to be leader of TwilightClan now, actually," he replied slowly. Why did she sound happy to see him? Her murderer was standing right in front of her, so why would any ecstasy decorate her voice, her features? "Lilypool... I'm sorry about... well, you know," he finished lamely, then turned his gaze back to Mysticstar. "What am I to do to posess my title and lives?" he asked slowly, not trying to sound demanding of what was rightfully his.

Her head tilted, thinking of his semi-apology. " I forgave you a while back, Osprey, and I hold nothing against you now. I know I'm clean and innocent, but what about you Osprey? Would you make it to Starclan?" she said this deliberately, waiting a long while the let the solemn and icyly said question sink in. Lillypool turned over the clan name he mentioned.... Twilightclan, Twilightclan.... She shook her head, her features suddenly dimming and turning shadey pretty quick. " A new clan? Twilightclan? You a leader with no medicine cat to help you along?" she was being serious now, but not in a demanding way, and staring straight at Ospreytalon as she spoke every word. She was calm and collect, not freaking out and awkward like she was as an apprentice. Her eyebrows raised, like they were amused, and she looked at Mysticstar with a mysterious air.

Mysticstar sat besides Lilypool as the two talked. Her long grey fur shimmering and her deep green eyes clouded with unreadable feelings. The StarClan leaders had discussed this new, TwilightClan, but hadn't thought it would become of this. There were never six clans in the forest, why let there be now? As the leader, it was her job to take care of this. Though Lilypool wouldn't understand this, she woudl have to wait for the explination. Mysticstar glided almost ghost like to her feet and stepped infront of Lilypool and between the two cats. "Have you not heard the stories of the Clans. Always be there five clans. ThunderClan of the forests, RiverClan of the water, WindClan of the plains, ShadowClan of teh pines, and StarClan of teh sky. TwilightClan. This is no Clan that should be! I see no deputy besides you, no medicine cat to gide your way. Who be your deputy, the traitorous Ebonyeyes? Or the overtempered Riverfrost. Who be your medicine cat, the untrained Brightfang? What makes you think that you will recieve your lives or names when you have broken so many rules in the warrior code?" The grand she-cat's eyes were fiery with rage and she started hard at him through the slits that she had. Her tail swaying gracefully back and forwth in anger.

"I was guided by two cats who claimed to be working under your influences," Ospreytalon replied smoothly, his voice eerily calm. "And they told us that we were to begin anew with any who would follow. I see no flaws there. Now, I know nothing of Riverfrost, Ebonyeyes, or Brightfang, nothing of their pasts, but I do know they are eager to do whatever is necessary now, and that is all that matters. And besides, is StarClan so cruel as to more or less banish these cats that are now of TwilightClan? You know that ShadowClan and WindClan are both furious at their so-called 'traitors' and would never take them back. ThunderClan and RiverClan may be more willing, but think of how this would effect the life of every cat who's pledged their loyalty to a new Clan, and a new beginning. If I know anything about StarClan, it is this: They are supposed to help the cats when they are in need. I don't see any way how sending them all home would make anything better. This is one thing that can't be taken back." He finished his speech, looking Mysticstar straight in the eyes with his own liquid-fire amber ones. There was no way she could argue with him here. He was sure of it.

Mysticstar listened calmly to what Ospreytalon had to say. A smiled nor frown crosses her face. Once Ospreytalon had finished what he had to say, Mysticstar's myertrious voice cut the air. "Now Ospreytalon, didn't each of these cats leave of their own free will. They were the ones to leave StarClan, not the otehr way around." As she spoke, herself and Lilypool slowly faded, and then nothing was left but the mist and haze of the stars.

Osprey awoke with a sudden jolt, the fur on his spine raised and a growl emitting from his throat. "The nerve of those..." he muttered, glaring angrily at the stone. He pressed his nose to the cool surface again, though nothing happened.
OOC: Shadey, what if Osprey came crying to Paley and asked her to come with him to make Mysticstar accept him as a leader?
