Talon jolted awake from his nightmare as he watched Quartz disappear into darkness before his eyes. "Quartz, no!" He howled in pain, before realizing quickly where he was. He froze, hoping no one had heard. His paws stumbling over the soft feathers in his nest, he buried his head in the bedding and snarled, angry at whatever power was out there for reminding him, forcing him to relive the pain over and over again. Shredding a gyrfalcon feather between his claws, his eyes red and his face pinched in pain, Talon threw the quill against the wall of the cave before stumbling to the ground, curling up in his nest again, paws shaking. He didn't dare sleep. He didn't want to remember the pain again… |

She jerked awake at the sound of a wolf's howl inside the den. She looked around and saw Talon in a state of distress. Tempest's face scrunched with concern. She got to her paws and shook out her fluffy mane. She padded over to him, careful not to alarm him. "Talon?" She called to him. "What's wrong?" She asked, knowing that the phrase 'Are you okay?' wasn't the correct approach. She laid down in front of him and put her head on her paws so she could look at his face, or most of his face. |

Turning around with a growl, Talon breathed out a sigh of relief. It was just Tempest. "It's fine, it's nothing," he said quietly, sweeping the destroyed quill under his nest. "Just some… bad dreams…" He wouldn't have admitted that he had nightmares to any other wolf— but Tempest was different. She was kind, unlike many others, and Talon trusted her. |

She stiffened when he growled, but relaxed after he sighed. "You sure?" She asked. " 'Cause it didn't sound like nothin' " She flicked her gaze down, spotting the ruined quill. "What did the quill do to deserve that?" She joked softly. She thinks back to his howl. He'd said a name. What was it? She asks herself. She was silent for a moment, trying to think. Quartz! He'd howled the name Quartz! She finally remembered. Quartz was his mate that died! She looked at him. He's having nightmares about his dead mate. Her brow nits with worry for the former patriarch. |

The dream was pleasant at the start, like any other day at the clover covered fields. But the wind picked up a nasty, rotting smell. The bear corpse was standing on all fours at the middle of the field, breathing heavily. The raspy voice echoed in the air like metal against metal. The atmosphere was starting to rot around the bear, nature struggling to breathe and thrive. The bear spilled oozing liquid from its mouth, that spread fast on the ground as it landed. It was reaching Lichen faster than he could react. He jolted awake, body stiff and cold shivers running up his spine. He didn't dare to move to wake up Jive. |

Jive mumbled in her sleep, her father's shivers contagious. With a cute murmur of, "Dad…," she turned over and slept soundly once again. |

"I'm quite sure," Talon snapped through gritted teeth. He didn't like the pitying look Tempest was giving him. "You weren't supposed to hear that anyway." |

Everyone knew where she was, so hopefully she wouldn't miss anything too segnifagant. she lies down and rests her head, watching outside of her den as she finds herself slowly dozing off. |

She flinched when he snapped. She narrowed her eyes. "Okay," She replies shortly. She stands and starts to leave the den, but turns back to say, "Then maybe next time try to keep it to yourself," Her voice and words quite harsh. She cringes inwardly at her own harshness and continues to start to walk out of the den. |

"Get out of my cave," Talon muttered, mostly to himself now that Tempest was gone. He sighed, feeling sorry for snapping at her, one of the most gentle wolves in the pack. He wished he could just forget anything had ever happened… maybe he'd be happier if he had never met Quartz. Thinking back, Talon shook his head. He was glad he'd met Quartz. Even through the pain those memories caused him now, he'd been happy. Actually happy, a pure, sweet feeling that made him feel like he was soaring above the clouds with the sun at his back and his mate by his side. Laying his head down again, Talon scratched lonelily at the ground. |
