Up until yesterday, her life had been just darkness. Void of any scent or feeling, or noise other than her own deep breathing. The only thing she had were the comforts of her memories, but even then could she really even call them comforting? Before this emptiness she had lived a short life that began in Bloodclan. Life was simpler then, but alive Paix was never one to settle for simple. However, she'd soon discover that her time on earth was not over yet. Her rebirth, fostered by forces unknown to her, was painful and did not come without sacrifices. Paix had made many mistakes while alive the first time around, some she regretted - most she didn't.
Suddenly her breath no longer echoed in her ears, and beneath her paws she felt grass, but she still only saw blackness. What was this? Her paws were extensions of her body, and she could feel them knead into what felt like soft ground, but she could not see it. Paix felt her eyelids flutter rapidly in an attempt to clear her vision. Maw parted to speak, to ask what was happening, but no voice hit her ears. What kind of purgatory was this?
But that was yesterday. Today, the ivory coated serval was armed with the knowledge of her own personal hell. She could not hear, nor could she see or speak. Her eyes were a cloudy blue, the lining of her throat scarred beyond repair, and her ears merely tufts atop her head. Despite all this, she still stood tall and proud, the pads of her paws pressed firmly to the ground as she felt for the tell-tale vibrations of movement.
