☠️ // Pigeonstar

As Pigeonflight dreams that night, he finds himself walking the stars of Silverpelt, a ghostly landscape surrounding him and a single, starry cat sat within a clearing. The starry cat approaches him and, although the cat is unfamiliar, their meeting still feels like a reunion with an old friend. "My name is Shadowcloud. You meet me tonight, but the cats under your care will all meet me one day when they join the stars. For now," the cat presses their nose to Pigeonflight's forehead, "Take this gift, to help you find wisdom in desperate times." Suddenly, the mist at the edge of the clearing takes shape. Dozens of wispy, starry spirits emerge, quickly surrounding Pigeonflight. "We grant you your remaining eight lives." Individually, each voice is distant, but together, the force of their words shakes Pigeonflight to his core. "Use them well, with our blessing." And in a heartbeat, they were gone. Pigeonstar wakes, his new name echoing in his ears.
