Cloudedglade

## History

### Life

**Cloudedglade** was born in MossClan, during Era 0. He grew up hearing kits' tales about Morningstar. He was childhood friends with Streamstar and Featherlight. When Streamstar was appointed leader, he would in turn be appointed as her deputy. At this point in time he had approximately 50 experience points, canonically. This development, however, would turn south. The two cats' friendship fell apart as their leadership styles clashed and became increasingly unwilling to work together. **Cloudedglade** preferred harsh consequences whereas Streamstar was a far more understanding cat in terms of leading her Clan. **Cloudedglade** began to stop seeing Streamstar as a leader and a friend, and more as an enemy- naive and unfit to be leader. To him, she was actively hurting MossClan, and thus **Cloudedglade** sought out to put an end to it all. He was planning on murdering her. He hastily made an attempt in the dead of night with the usage of deathberries tucked away into prey, set it out for Streamstar, but he faltered. **Cloudedglade** just couldn't do it. Not only was Streamstar an old friend, but she was pregnant. Although the fights between the two grew worse with every passing day, he put it to rest, and abandoned his murderous plot- he would need to give it more thought before going through with it. He buried the prey, so that it wouldn't be found. However, unbeknowest to him, Featherlight was watching this whole event. Featherlight was Streamstar's mate, and the medic of the Clan. Knowing the worsening relationship between Streamstar and **Cloudedglade**, as well as his growing violent nature, Featherlight pieced together what was going on quickly. And the medic wasn't going to rely on any silly fantasies about **Cloudedglade** never making such attempts again. **Cloudedglade** was greeted the next morning to a cheerful Featherlight, who asked the former to help gather herbs. **Cloudedglade**, as the deputy, agreed. Featherlight had no apprentice at the time, so it wasn't uncommon for the medic to ask for assistance. On the trip, at a spot already preplanned by Featherlight, **Cloudedglade** was suddenly attacked by the medic. Featherlight was a worse fighter, clearly, and knew he wouldn't last long. This is why, before **Cloudedglade** could even process what was going on, Featherlight would shove the poison from the night before- freshly dug up- down the deputy's throat. The poison acted quickly, and a panicked **Cloudedglade** desperately tried to get it out of his system. Featherlight brought out some stowed away yarrow as well, and **Cloudedglade** had no choice but to take it, if he wanted to live. The deputy survived, but was greatly weakened. The medic then threatened and exiled the deputy, casting him out of MossClan forever. **Cloudedglade** would live the rest of his days as a loner until his death.

### Death

**Cloudedglade** died after Streamstar and Featherlight did, which was unfortunate as **Cloudedglade** had greatly anticipated StarClan taking his side on what happened in his life- and that he was only doing was was "necessary" and "best" for MossClan. StarClan as a whole was torn on whether to send the cat to the Dark Forest, or let him be as a Shade. It was eventually decided to send **Cloudedglade** as a Shade, as he was exiled already for the murder attempt, and had done nothing else wrong. Despite Streamstar being a huge reason that **Cloudedglade** was a Shade instead of a prisoner to the Dark Forest, the former deputy still blamed the leader, as well as the medic, for not being let into StarClan. Being a Shade would mean that he had no access to communicate with the living via dreams, and virtually no way to make contact with the living at all. He wished he had killed Streamstar that night. **Cloudedglade**, exiled even in the afterlife, felt bitter, and just longed for the chance to get revenge.

### Stargazing Event

> I noticed the stars, and I came to help you! I know what did this, so- oh- you want to know? Well, that comes at a price. I don't work for free, you know! But it's alright, I'm not going to ask for much! :)

> **Cloudedglade to The Clans**

One day **Cloudedglade** got his chance. The stars suddenly disappeared, and orange butterflies and flowers would start popping up everywhere. **Cloudedglade** recognized these signs from the kithood tales of Morningstar, and the exiled deputy knew what happened when a shade was forgotten. His hypothesis was that Morningstar, a deity from ancient times, had been officially forgotten by the living. However, though her spirit had faded, her power had not, and therefore had been causing havoc on the Clans, and made the stars disappear. And wouldn't you know it? **Cloudedglade** was right. Additionally, there was a secondary effect to the stars disappearing and Morningstar's power being out of control. Shades had a greater power around them, now that it wasn't all being hogged by StarClan. **Cloudedglade**, without StarClan to fear now that they were missing, quickly made a dream connection to the Clans.
