"Chase…? Chase…? CHASE!"

Chase's eyes snapped open like a cracking whip. His breathing was rushed, heavy, almost to the point of hyperventilation. He soon calmed down however when he took in his surroundings. He was back at the base, back in the crew room, best of all he was safe. He relished that feeling, and turned to the source of the voice that woke him up.

It was Soren, the king of the great Ga'Hoole tree. He had a look of concern plastered on his face, obviously worried about the owlet. "Are you alright?" he asked politely.

"I'm fine, just a daymare."

"It sounded worse than 'just' a daymare. Tell me about it," he motioned for Chase to stand next to him. He was hesitant at first, but after being motioned a second time, he complied and walked over.

Chase told Soren his dream, and others before it as well. Chase wasn't one to brag, but he was happy to finally tell someone about he had dreamt. Before now, anyone that he had tried to talk to about them had either ignored him or just called him yoicks. He definitely wouldn't argue with the last part, there were times he had actually questioned his own sanity…

But that wasn't important, what was important was the fact someone was listening to him, and to what he had to say. Chase felt that it was an unpayable debt, but he would try his best to help Soren wherever he needed him.

Too soon it seemed that Chase finished telling his tale. It wasn't until he finished, he noticed the look on Soren's face. It was a mixture of surprise and confusion, Chase could have sworn he saw a bit of shock in there too.

After checking who was around him, he found every owl from the Great Tree had surrounded him, all with the same expression.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" He asked slowly.

Soren and Gylfie turned to each other, they had been best friends for years, they knew what each other was thinking. It came out in one word.

"Starsight…"
