Warrior Cats but when a leader loses a life, they spend the period between death and revival in the paws of the cat who gave them their next life.
It’s no mundane experience either. They must endure the most impactful event in that cat’s life; the moment that led the cat to choose what the life they gave would stand for.
Firestar watched from the eyes of Redtail as Tigerclaw pinned him to the ground and tore out his throat.
Mistystar stood up and defended Stormpaw and Featherpaw, surprised to hear Stonefur’s voice instead of her own when she spoke out.
Bramblestar laid dying from his wounds, barely able to hear Goldenflower begging Lionheart to stay awake. The only thing he could think of is how proud he was for serving for his Clan.
The point is to remind the leader of what they are being revived for. They continue living so that they can protect and guide their clanmates to greater outcomes, having learned from the experiences of the cats who gave them their extra lives.
