Hello, I am Dawnstar, leader of Starclan.

I was the second leader of Mountainclan, and, before that, deputy of Mountainstar himself. We were all very devastated when he died, for he was lesder and founder of Mountainclan. But everybody knew I would make a great leader. I often needed help, so I visited the Mooncavern a lot. On these visits, I would almost always bring along a Mountainclan warrior named Crowfur. I grew attached to him, and eventually fell in love. We became mates, and when, sadly, the deputy of Mountainclan died in a fierce fight with Swampclan, I obviously appointed Crowfur deputy. Little did I know that Crowfur wanted me dead. He felt that he was the rightful leader of Mountainclan. So he waited for a long time, for me to weaken, and lose some of my lives. Then, one day, when I had only two lives left, Crowfur came over to where I was snoozing on a warm rock, and delivered a quick slash to my throat. He did a good job of covering his scent by rolling in fox-dung before making me lose my eighth life. I didn't know he had killed me until the cats of Starclan told me. A few moons later, we were on another Mooncavern visit. We didn't know that a mischievious little kit named Sorrelkit had followed us. She witnessed my final death, then started going as fast as she could back to camp. Unluckily for Sorrelkit, Crowfur had seen her. When Sorrelkit told her mother, Nightflower, about it, Nightflower didn't believe her, until, one night, Crowfur snuck into the nursery and killed Sorrelkit's brother, Birchkit. Nightflower gained Crowstar's trust, then became deputy. One day, she killed Crowstar with a quick blow, and became leader of Mountainclan. All cats of Starclan, especially me, knew that Nightstar was the rightful leader of Mountainclan. Oh yeah, and the reason that Crowstar died so easily was that we never gave him his nine lives!
