✦ . ˚ . He stirs as if waking from a terrible dream. Whatever it was that Berryheart forced into his maw a lifetime ago had done its job– finally, his lungs felt clearer and his head not so fuzzy. There's sunlight streaming into the medicine cat's den, warming the earth and the very edges of his nest. He can smell the bitter herbs and hear his clanmates in the distance. Maybe Berryheart himself, too, not so far. His head lifts at the same time that his mind fully clears. It is immediately the worst thing he has ever felt.
Something– something he'd heard, or felt, he doesn't know what it means. Where it came from. But there is a deep aching sense of loss, and he seeks assurance that it was nothing more than a nightmare. "Berryheart?" It hurts. Disuse. Pain. The memories of forcing himself to ShadowClan camp and collapsing, of watching the others die. Hearing them wail. "Berry, did they come back? Was Little Wolf–" Dread, heavy and cold. "She was with them, wasn't she?" The whispers were nightmares. Delirium.
