## The Praise

"*Again, work on your grammar, but I like the storyline, and I really like the character's Darkflame and Flowertail. I especially like the last chapter. That seems like **the best** quote ever!*"

--Warriorcat1195

"*I love this one! It is great to see Blackstar given a second chance and it also has a moral with in too as it shows no matter the mistake someone makes, they should be given another chance because the mistakes helps shape them into a better person. This is a great story!*"

--Foxstep1

## Trivia

* Darkflower originally was mates with Scorchwind and had kits with him. After Scorchwind dies during Brokenstar's reign, Darkflower remains a queen for some time before finding closure with Blackstar.
	+ Blackstar loved Darkflower before she was mates with Scorchwind, but never wished to get in their way or for Scorchwind's eventual demise.
* This is one of the hardest worked on novella of Stealthfire’s, and has undergone many changes from first planned:
	+ Blackstar was meant to show more evil feelings and thoughts.
	+ Blackstar's nine live were originally very different. This was the original lives given and life-givers in order:
		- 1. Nightstar gave the life of living by the warrior code.
		- 2. Yellowfang gave the life of mercy.
		- 3. Raggedstar gave the life of honour.
		- 4. Cedarstar gave the life of clear judgement.
		- 5. Fernshade gave the life of duty to all.
		- 6. Badgerfang gave the life of mentoring.
		- 7. Flintfang gave the life of faith in StarClan.
		- 8. Hollyflower gave the life of proud and loyal leadership.
		- 9. Darkflower gave the life of love of kin.
	+ The lives were changed mainly because the author wanted Stonefur to give the last life of forgiveness, since Blackstar needed a sign he was forgiven for killing those cats.
	+ Blackstar was more friendly towards Tawnypelt, and wasn’t so disappointed about Mistyfoot eventually becoming leader.
	+ Darkkit also went through some changes, see his trivia section here.
