Emerald'gaze woke up at a med den. Hail'cloud and the apprentices was surrounding him. A black long tailed she, Eel'tail, the med'cat and her apprentice look down at Emerald'gaze. "Oh good you're awake!" Hail'cloud sprung up at Emerald'gaze and hugged him, she purred. Emerald'gaze hissed in pain, he hold his arm with his paw. He looked in his arm, it was a shard looking mark. It was also bleeding in blue blood. He looked traumatized, he was shivering like crazy. His emerald colored eyes turned pale. He also noticed that his bones were showing under his skin as well. 

"You good now?" Eel'tail asked, Emerald'gaze just kept looking around, confused. "What?" He said in a cold frightened voice. "Is he gonna be okay?" One'paw asked, Eel'tail shook her head. "I don't think so...he have been in the blizzard for a long time." She said, Emerald'gaze stood away from everyone. Eel'tail grabbed one of the poppy seeds and offered him some to calm him down. Emerald'gaze shook his head. "No....I'm good." He spoke. "Oh! Maybe a hug would make him feel better." Hail'cloud lunge at him, Emerald's eyes blinked to icy blue and hissed.

"Oh-" She backed away; the apprentice group then walk over to Emerald'gaze. "You know what, we'll take him back to the den, thanks Eel'tail." Oleander'paw said, the apprentices and Hail'cloud helped Emerald'gaze up.  At the cave, everyone gave a huge stare at Emerald'gaze, almost like an angered stare. Wave'flow was already talking to Pond'jump, Lake'fur, and Lapis'Star at the den. Emerald'gaze already start to pass out again, but they made it to the Light'walkers den. They settle him down. He was shaking like crazy. Hail'cloud start to get worried and curled up at Emerald'gaze to make him feel better.

The apprentices walk out to give them space. Dusk'paw turned around at Oleander'paw.  "So, you are telling me you saw a white looking ghost attacking Emerald'gaze?" He asked, Oleander'paw slowly turned around at the blue russian. "How did you know?" He said, Dusk'paw gestured his tail at Milk'paw. Milk'paw blinked at them. "Well yeah, why?" Oleander'paw asked, Dusk'paw look at the raging winds from the blizzard, he leaned in and whispered. "Remember last time when we heard of the story about Eclipse?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm pretty sure somebody must've brought them back to life." He said, Oleander'paw scoffed. "Now what makes you think that? It's probably almost Leaf bare." Dusk'paw looked at the blizzard once again. "I ain't really right, probably because the story messed with my mind or something, or the fact that Emerald'gaze looks like a traumatized goat." They then spot Lapis'Star  Pond'jump, and Wave'flow standing in front of the Light'walkers den. "Wait..." Oleander'paw and Dusk'paw walk a little closer to see what was going on.

Emerald'gaze looked at Lapis'Star's eyes, he knew that little mouse'brained Wave'flow would frame him, but he was weakened to attack.  "Wave'flow said you killed Frozen'breath,  and disturbed the Ice crystal, is that true?" She said, Emerald'gaze denied. "I didn't do it..."

"Well there's GOT to be someone who did it?" She said, Pond'jump glared at Wave'flow. "Maybe Wave'flow could be lying.."

"Don't let Emerald'gaze fool you, I told you he'd bring us to danger, why you think we're in a deadly blizzard?" Wave'flow said. Pond'jump thought for about a minute. "But it needs more evidence, we should call out for a gathering at Moya mountain. " Hail'cloud stood in front of him, protecting Emerald'gaze. "But I didn't DO IT! I SWEAR!" He start to yell, Lapis'Star growled. "Watch your tone, you've already ruined your reputation last time as Lake'fur told me, we gave you a second chance and now this is happening."

"I'm pretty sure he's telling the truth, it's just Wave'flow trying to get him exiled." Hail'cloud said, Wave'flow gave a little death stare at her.  "Exactly, Wave'flow's lying." Emerald'gaze said.

"THEN WHO KILLED FROZEN'BREATH!?" Lapis'Star yelled, Pond'jump stood in the middle. "Chill out, Lapis'Star, you don't want to get demoted by the Clan'walkers, let's just leave it for the moon trials."

"What do you think I look like? A she with patience? I don't accept murderers like that Emerald'gaze cat." She said, Emerald'gaze's eyes start to glow a little, Hail'cloud noticed, she knew something bad was going to happen, but she kept her stand. Lapis'Star unsheathed her claws, the situation she was dealing with led her a trigger of her past. She then went closer, Pond'jump stood in the middle. "NO."

Everyone including Lake'fur stepped out of their den to see, the Clan'walkers start jumping into action, Lake'fur didn't even want to deal with it this time and stepped back into his den. One of the Clan'walkers, Delta'creek, a yellow eyed brown tom whose brown scattered markings resembling a delta. He stood in front. "Lapis'Star, calm down." He said, Lapis'Star hissed. "NO, I WON'T LET A MURDERER GO." Emerald'gaze nudged Hail'cloud away from him and stood up from the den, the apprentices and kits were forced to stay in the den, but Oleander'paw didn't want to. 

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳." He said in a hollow like voice, Pond'jump and Delta'creek tried to hold Lapis'Star. 

"Lapis'Star just save it for the moon trials, please! You're making a scene." Pond'jump begged, Lapis'Star then again shover her out of the way. "You MURDERER." She then jumped towards him, Emerald'gaze screamed in the top of his lungs.

"𝙄𝙏 𝙒𝘼𝙎𝙉'𝙏 𝙈𝙀!"

Emerald colored ice appeared from the ground spreading across the cave. He then opened his eyes seeing the frightened looks the cats gave. Oleander'paw and Dusk'paw jumped backwards as well, the other apprentices watched.  Lapis'Star stepped back away from Emerald'gaze. Pond'jump glared at Lapis'Star. "I told you. It needs evidence first." She said as she look at the ice around. Hail'cloud was horrified as well, Emerald'gaze stood back as the ice melt. Hail'cloud still kept Emerald'gaze behind her.

Lapis'Star calm down, trying to forget all of this. She look at the tom, she sighed. "Alright then." She said. "We'll let the council handle this."
