Leopardstar's Honor/Chapter 27

==Chapter description==
:At the Moonstone, Leopardfur prepares to meet with StarClan for her leadership ceremony. When the moon shines on the Moonstone, she touches her nose to the stone and finds herself in a dream. The first StarClan cat to greet her is Riverstar, who gives her a life for acceptance. Whiteclaw approaches, and after she apologizes for training him to be aggressive, he gives her a life for empathy. Hailstar recognizes her courage in the battle with the rats and gives her a life for bravery. Frogleap gives her a life for devotion and assures her that Woodkit and Robinkit are in StarClan with him. Oakheart gives her a life for unity, while Silverstream gives her one for forgiveness; Leopardfur tells her that Stormkit and Featherkit are safe in RiverClan. After Whitefang gives her a life for patience, Sunfish greets her, saying that she and the others are happy and giving Leopardfur a life for friendship. Leopardfur's mother, Brightsky, gives her the final life: a mother's love.
:Back at camp, Leopardstar's excitement keeps her from sleeping well, and she decides to take back Sunningrocks. Emerging from her den at dawn, she observes Stonefur looking after his Clanmates, recognizing his courage. She calls a Clan meeting and announces her new leadership, before making Stonefur her deputy. She goes on to list who will attend the Gathering that night, including Dawnpaw. Finally, she tells Piketooth, Cedarpelt, and Timberfur to retire as elders. With the meeting finished, she invites Stonefur to speak with her and tells him about her plans to claim Sunningrocks. To her pleasure, he agrees without hesitation, though she is wary when he recommends that they take Graystripe to the Gathering to test his loyalty.
:At the Gathering, she sends Stonefur to gather information from his fellow deputies and briefly notices Graystripe's quickness in greeting Fireheart. She approaches Tallstar and Tigerstar, and Tallstar offers his condolences for Crookedstar's death, while Tigerstar seems perturbed by her choice for deputy. When the Gathering begins, she proudly announces her new leadership, but when she does, Bluestar does not respond, seeming distracted. When Leopardstar finally gets her attention, Bluestar suddenly grows angry and accuses WindClan of stealing prey. Tallstar accuses ThunderClan in turn, and while they argue, Tigerstar seems amused and agrees with Tallstar. When Tigerstar warns of StarClan's anger, Bluestar denounces them, to Leopardstar's shock. Encouraged by Tigerstar's provocation of Bluestar, Leopardstar tries to do the same with a veiled threat that RiverClan needs more territory. However, instead of snapping, Bluestar simply agrees. Leopardstar senses ThunderClan's weakness and briefly doubts her plans to attack, but when she notices Tigerstar encouraging her, she decides to take advantage.
