DREAMWALKER ACTIVE

Fadingpaw hadn't slept well in days. Despite not being in his medic role, somehow he only felt worse. Demotion. Being stripped of his name and rank. Being shamed in front of the entire clan. Since that day, night terrors attacked him nightly, and he couldn't think straight. He hated every bit of it.

After another long day of feeling depressed, fadingpaw ended the day with crying himself to sleep. There was nobody he could go to. He was just alone.

Something similar had happened in the past. With Spring. And then with muddy.

It seemed like an ordinary dream, just the thunderclan clearing. But empty. Figured. Probably a pity party made for his lonliness. Who would want to be around him anyway. Only... he wasn't entirely alone.

The sight of a familiar pelt caught his eye. The tripod stumbled forward, eyes wide. He opened his newly-scarred muzzle and called out the name. The name of the cat who stood by him, and got exiled because of it.

"H-Haze? Haze, is that you?"

Maplehaze
⸙ ThunderClan Warrior | 17 moons

Was he angry? Wow, stars- he really was. Never in his whole entire life did Maplehaze thought he'd be this angry. Not at his situation, not at Bumblestar, but at the cats who stood around to gossip. Haze could hear the chattering and gossiping of the cats around the Stormcrest as he stalked his way out. These cats who had no part in the battle, no part in the journey, easily gossiped and shame those who did step up and made the mistakes they did. He could forgive those who were there, but those who weren't just made him all the more frustrated. Yet they still had the audacity to whisper as if they knew the entire story. The russet Bengal shook his pelt that was damp from the morning dew. Stars, how long has he been walking?

He really thought he took a break- found a place far away and...Maplehaze shook his head. Was the sleep deprivation getting to him? The land he approached upon looked vaguely familiar. It was...ThunderClan... Confusion swept over him and anxiety crawled under his fur, but there was no one here but him.

Until a voice appear behind him. H-haze?

"Wolf-" He whipped his head around for his eye to meet the emerald green hues of his friend. No way...it couldn't be. Haze told himself that Wolfpaw was safe and sound in ThunderClan- that he was alright, not out here in the cold wilds.

"How- what-?" Confusion and questions overwhelmed him. Haze wanted to ask them all, but he found his word tripping over one another.

"Are you...real? Is this real?" he finally asked, almost breaking down.
