The StarClanners can go in any order, all I ask is that Emberstar gives her ninth and final life + is the one to name her Howlingstar, just like canon as she is the previous leader :)
The journey is grueling, hunger gnawing at her stomach the whole way. Alongside two of her sons, she travels through Fourtrees and waits patiently at the border for a WindClan dusk patrol. While displeased, they at least escort them to the thunderpath without too much questioning. The ThunderClanners don't dare reveal the purpose of their journey, although it may be easy for some to guess. The medicine cat with the deputy is a familiar sight, albeit one that had been unexpected.
It's the trek up Highstones that really exhausts the woman. Jagged rock jabs at her calloused paw pads while she picks her way uphill, following Berryheart's lead. He knows the way, after all. And to know he makes this journey alone every moon? Unthinkable! But soon, they arrive at the cave's entrance, the one Berryheart dubs Mothermouth. She leaves her sons outside and travels into the narrow passageway, darkness engulfing her. She carefully picks her way through the blackness, whiskers grazing the sides as she follows the faintest trace of cat-scent, likely form the last time the medicine cats were here.
Time goes on and she feels as if she's been walking for forever. Am I lost? The thought plagues her mind, and part of the tabby wants to yowl out for her medicine cat's navigational guidance. But alas, there is light. A bright, blue light that grows as she draws closer before she finally steps into a cavern bathed in cerulean. She gawks, awe-struck, her own face painted white by the bright reflection of the moon on the magnificent crystal. It's absolutely stunning.
Berryheart's instructions replay in her mind. She must touch her nose to it. Gathering herself, the woman strides forward slowly, lacking the usual power she holds as the mere sight of the stone humbles her. She lies down, touches her nose to the cold surface, and waits.
As she awakes, she feels an emptiness within her. Little does she know her existing life is being stripped away as she sleeps, soon to be replaced by nine new ones. A gasp leaves her as Howling Wind looks around, finding herself is a starlit clearing surrounded by full, thriving trees with green leaves and powerful roots. It looks like newleaf!
The fur on the back of her neck rises as she suddenly feels eyes on her. Glancing over her shoulder, the woman blinks in surprise when she spots starry figures begin to approach. Strangely enough, she doesn't even feel afraid. Here, she is at peace, and she knows these cats mean no harm. As they draw closer, she even begins to recognize one or two...
