Morpheus was named for his changing leaf color, at first it was glanced off as a simple leaf blemish, it cleared up time and again..yet the hues always came back out of season. After his first fall time, his leaves never started changing back into a pure green. Twigleaf thought young Morpheus could be his true heir, with the signs of growing powerful antlers he could defend the home territory but because of Morpheus's weakened leaves he grew too weak to be depended on. It hit him hard that he could never be the head of his clan.  He was heartbroken. He left one day no longer wanting to waste time on his father's healers who so far could not cure him.   The sun's summer heat caused his brittle crumbly autumn leaves to fall apart. He was so weak and helpless by the first few  days away from home he just settled down to hibernate. One season became many, he just gave up and slept growing into a large and tree antler headed feline deep within the ground. His antlers stuck up one day from the ground like a tiny tree and he finely woke up after someone disturbed him.  He gave the onlookers quite  fright ripping himself out of the ground. He had become strong from his roots sapping out nutrition for all those years.
