(Self RP. Please don't post....but Rose may post with Althea if she wishes.)
After Charcoal's death defying mishap and flight from that ruthless dog during his very last race to become a runner, Coal slept. He wasn't sure how long or if it was more like a coma but he drifted. He difted in a light floaty place. It was like a field or meadow but he was sure the edges were made of clouds, not trees and other rabbit were drifting in and out of those 'clouds'. Not that he could reach them. The meadow seemed endless and empty. It was during a peaceful nap in this meadow that he felt a nose at his foot. He looked up to see what must have been an ancestor of his staring at him. The fist time he'd seen another rabbit in this meadow. He really had thought of it as empty.
"You need to quit drifting here in limbo little one." said the old buck. Briefly he remembered his marli's description of grandpa. This guy seemed to be it.
"This is limbo?" Coal was confused. "I didn't die?"
The buck shook his head. "No, you didn't. You lost alot of blood but Althea seemed determined not to loose you. She did what she could to stop the bleeding and get you cleaned up. You've been 'asleep' for four days. She and a few others have guarded you."
Coal's mouth dropped. "I'm alive?"
"Yup. And it's time to go back now. You look like hell, everything is gonna hurt like a b***h and healing isn't gonna be fun but you live. Now go back."
With that Coal felt the buck give him a hard shove and then everything seemed to dissipate. His grandfather and the meadow and the strange light that seemed to suffuse the place. In an instant it was like traveling down a tunnel and then with a jolt he was back in his body. With a gasp he was awake and with another gasp the pain hit him. Everywhere. He swore and then started to weep. "I'm alive. Oh Firth it all hurts."
