Name;; Charlie

Sex;; Buck

Prompt;;

Oh, Charlie?! Well, it’s a long story… You have the time? Well then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!

“Lets go!” Charlie laughed as him and his best friend ran up a hill.
“Slow down.” his best friend, Korey, yelled after him. “You run too fast.” he complained.
Charlie was full of energy, he was (finally, after a lot of begging) allowed to go to the movies with Korey! They were going to see a new sequel of their favourite movie, it was about this super villain, a wolf, going after a superhero, a bird. The movie was called: ‘Wolf strikes again!’. It may seem childish, but Charlie and Korey adore it. As they raced to the theatre, Charlie tripped and fell down a hill.
“Ouwh-ajhaf-wu-OUCH!” was all Korey could hear as he fell down. Korey’s ears flattened, “Are you okay?” he had asked.
“N-n-no?” came a wobbly, confused voice from below. “I-i can't move!” Charlie whimpered, his paw hurt, burned even. He was devastated, for the first time he could go to the movies, but he had messed it up. When he had gotten home he was put to bed and couldn’t watch the movie while it was in theatres. Korey however, went and saw it by himself, he noticed how Charlie felt and knew he had to do something. He went to the store and bought Charlie a pair of wings and the beak of their beloved superhero. When Korey took it to Charlie, he had a meltdown. He was so thankful and glad he had such a good friend, like Korey. He hasn’t taken it off since (other than to wash it, of course!) Korey and Charlie remain friends and they ended up seeing the movie when they played it on TV. (296 words)

Name;; Icarus
Sex;; Buck
Prompt;;

Icarus wanted nothing more than to fly. He’s spent his whole life hopping on the ground, running from nothing but his dreams. His dreams, oh he hated to love them. In his dreams, he could do whatever he wanted, be whoever he wanted. The clouds that seemed so close he could almost touch them and the sparkling ocean that he yearned to see. But Icarus was grounded, his paws were meant for hopping; he did not have wings that could take him from the earth that he reluctantly called home. Sometimes, if Icarus stayed in his head – he daydreamed about about what he could do if he had wings. He almost felt like he was flying, the wind, the brisk air and the sun that’s so close. But, those dreams always ended too soon. He awoke with a heavy heart and lost dreams swirling around like memories from past lives.

Icarus’ heart slowly broke every-time he looked into the sky. The stars that would laugh at him at night and the sun that would rise every morning just to look at him disinterested. Broken hearts don’t heal right – pieces go missing and the cracks never mend the correct way again. But Icarus was determined to not let any little thing get in his way. He spent weeks sketching ideas for wings – the angle had to be right, every single feather had to be counted or it wouldn’t work. After weeks of gathering sticks and loose feathers from distracted birds, Icarus was ready.

Strapping the wings to himself felt like being home – he felt like this was how it was meant to be. Icarus marched forward, before stopping at his little den. Gazing below, he saw the mask that he made in a fit – almost as a joke. Icarus snatched it up.
Of course, the only place that he could have actually tested these wings out could have been the Old Ruins. Statues and old castles were rubble around and nothing grew for miles. The once proud land was now brought to it’s knees, but the aftermath remained. Icarus climbed to the highest standing building and looked towards the horizon. The ocean was just beyond the wreckage – a few miles out. He was determined to reach it and if not, he knew that he would not stop. Icarus turned around and faced the place he once called home. The mask was placed onto his face, and he fell back. Suddenly – he was picked back up, soaring in the air. Icarus smiled, looking towards the sun.

He was flying, for once – he felt at home.

Name;; talon
Sex;; Buck
Prompt;; being raised watching super hero movies, talon had always wanted powers, and above all powers he wanted to fly. because he wanted to fly so much he loved birds. as a kid he would walk around with cardboard wings that his mother helped him make. he would have to leave his wings at home when he went to school but he never skipped school because of it. he studied an school the best he could but his mind always went to flying. one day when he went home his mother was working on something. when talon went to ask about it his mother put it away and told him he would find out soon.

talon went on with his day and spent some time trying to catch a pigeon to keep as a pet. he spent a lot of time trying to catch birds, but his mother would never let him keep one. his mother did not want a animal that was used to being outside to be stuck in her home. she would never let him keep a wild bird, it would not be safe. that changed when talon brought a pheasant chick into her house. talon had found the chick in the middle of a meadow where it was unsafe for the chick. the chick was likely dropped by a hawk as it had a badly broken wing. talon's mother let him take care of the bird until it got better.

talon grew very close to the small chick, he ignored his mother's warnings and have it a name: piper. talon trained piper to fly over sticks and do funny dances, as talon grew close to his new feathered friend piper also grew close to him. even talon's mother was starting to see piper as a pet. eventually piper's wing was fully healed and talon to her to a vet to get he released. the vet looked at piper and told talon that she was as healthy as she could ever be, but when talon brought up releasing he the vet gave him a weird look. the vet explained that piper was too reliant on talon to be released, and that she would never make it in the wild.

talon told his mother the news and she agreed to keep piper. soon his mother was almost as close to the bird as talon was. a few years later talon was moving out of his mother's home. he was finishing packing when his mother ran out of the house with a large box, she gave it to him. when talon opened the box he found a hand made pheasant costume. it had been carefully made from fake feathers and clay. he set the box down and hugged his mother. he grabbed the box and, with piper running beside him he waved goodbye and set off towards his new home.

“Tell us a story!” The congregation of little bunnies gathered hopefully at the elder rabbit’s feet. He smiled at them.

“What would you like to hear?” He asked.

“Tell us why you wear those wings and mask.” Piped up one of the children. The elder rabbit paused. His eyes lost their sparkle and his figure drooped. He opened his mouth and slowly began to speak.

“I’m sorry children, but that story is not one for tonight. In fact, I am feeling quite tired now so I think it’s best if you come back tomorrow.” The old rabbit stood and herded the crowd of kits out his door. When they were gone, the rabbit sank down onto the ground and took off his mask. His features underneath were sad, and a tiny pool of tears gathered at the edge of his eyes. He cast a glance at the mask.

“I wear this as a reminder.” He muttered to the empty room.

~
“Cmon Zeph!” A bunny darted through the trees, leaping this way and that, with a second rabbit trailing behind her.

“Slow down Zadie!” Called the second rabbit, panting as he tried to catch his sister. Zadie looked back, but did not slow down. On the contrary, she sped up, pelting up a rise in the forest. Zeph followed her, gasping for breath as he pounded up the hill. At the top, he found Zadie, sitting by a gargantuan pine tree, gazing up at its boughs.

“Look at this tree!” She called, hopping up and down. “I want to climb it!” Zeph’s mouth dropped open.

“You want to climb this tree? Zadie we’re rabbits, not birds. We can’t climb trees!”

“Aww don’t be a spoil sport big brother!” Zadie exclaimed. “I know I can climb this. Watch!” Zeph watched helplessly as Zadie ran at the tree, and leapt up onto the trunk. Claws out, she slowly inched upwards until she reached the first branch. She scrambled onto it and looked down at Zeph.

“See?” She cried. “Maybe I’m actually a bird or a squirrel or something.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Cried Zeph as Zadie leapt upwards to the next branch. “You’ll fall if you go any higher. Come down!”

“Look at meeee!” Squealed Zadie, ignoring him. “I can do anything! I am like a mighty hawk up here.”

“Zadie please! I’m begging you. Come down.” Yelled Zeph desperately, on the verge of panic. “It’s not safe.”

“Nonsense!” Zadie yelled back, barely audible. Zeph watched in panic as Zadie leapt up onto a very thin branch.”

CRACK

“NO!” Screamed Zeph. He watched in helpless horror as Zadie plummeted, screaming while crashing through branches, desperately trying and failing to grasp one. Soon Zadie slammed onto the ground.

All was silent. Zeph rushed over to where his sister had fallen. She lay in the grass, scratches all over her, eyes wide and fazed. She wasn’t moving. Her chest was still. Zeph lay his head upon her chest. No steady thump. Zeph screeched in pain and horror when he realized what had happen. Zadie was dead.

For a long time, Zeph lay by his sister’s side, tears rushing down his face, sobs wracking his body. It couldn’t be true. She can’t be dead. He thought hopelessly. But there was no denying it.

Zadie was gone.

~
From then on, Zeph wore the mask and wings. They served as a reminder to him, of the horrific events of that day. They were also wishful thinking. If he had been what he was not, he could have maybe saved her.

Name;; Aviann
Sex;; Buck
Prompt;; Avi has always dreamed of being an aviator! He's wanted to be one from the start, in hopes of flying his own planes and travelling the world, living in the sky and the clouds, soaring high above the sun and all other Cottontails who desired nothing but to stay on the ground. That's what made Avi different. He was often singled out and teased for his dreams and imagination. That's why he has that mask and the wings. He doesn't just want to be an Aviator, he wants to construct a contraption where he can fly alongside the plane and still steer it, hence the wings!

Another day of torment and bullying. Avi shut the door behind him, walking to the kitchen. "It's never gonna happen is it Mama?" Avi sighed, taking off his mask and laying it on the table. He sat down in a stool, his ears drooping. "Oh dear, anything can happen if you put your mind to it." His mother put down the dish she was washing, her gaze soft with love. "You have had dreams beyond this Warren. You can do whatever you want in life, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!" She embraced him, and Avi collapsed into her warm embrace. "Thank you Mama. I love you so much.."

Now, Avi is one of the greatest inventors and inavators, creating things beyond the imagination of others and still implementing his love for flying and aircraft.

Name;; Maverick
Sex;; Buck
Prompt;;
Since he was little, Maverick has been obsessed with birds and how they fly. He feels that flying is a form of freedom and has always wanted to feel what it's like. He's an intelligent buck, so from a young age he attempted making gliders. He'd run to the top of a hill or large Boulder and jump off with his gliders. Often times he'd fall.. getting scratches, scars and broken bones. But he never gave up. He started to make progress, until he finally created the wing glider model he uses now. He's able to pull leavers attached to his wings that allow them to extend and fold. He attached feathers to them for more aerodynamics.. and so it looks more realistic to bird wings. His mask acts as goggles. There are slightly tinted glass lenses over the eye holes to protect his eyes from debris and the sun while gliding. Even though other rabbits think he's strange, he doesn't care. Maverick loves the freedom he feels when he's in the air. He's starting to learn tricks with his wings and he's learning speed. He loves to dart through the air and use his wings to help others. [199/200]

aaaaThey called me Aconite. For those of you who don't know, it's a flower. It symbolizes death.
aaaaFrom the moment I was born, they said that I would die. I didn't. They didn't believe in me then, they don't believe in me now.
- - -
aaaa"Aconite!"
aaaaMy younger sister, Dewflow, bounds up to me.
aaaa"I want to race!"
aaaaWe're on top of a grassy hill right now. It's called the Nursery because it has the best grazing grounds, always filled with clovers and wildflowers, and mothers always take their little ones here to play. Dewflow wants me to play a common game with her, where we rabbits line up and race down the hill. The elder rabbits do their best to make sure the hill's kit-proof, so the game is perfectly safe, just like every other thing up here.
aaaaDespite not wanting to play, I agree. Dewflow deserves the best she can get, even if I have to give up what I want for her.
aaaaAs we line up at the start, some of the rabbits my age make their way over here. They want to race, too, and though the elders make sure the Nursery is kit-proof, they can't make any promises about words.
aaaaThe leader of the mean rabbits scoffs. "Oh, we're playing against you, Aconite? Even Dewflow is a better challenge. You were supposed to die, anyway. Actually, maybe that's why she plays with you - you're so easy to beat!"
aaaaDewflow blushes in shame and hides her head against my flank. I glower at the mean rabbits. "Go pick on someone you're own size."
- - -
aaaaThe reason I wear my mask and wings is because they make me feel protected. Dewflow gave them to me as a present and the other rabbits laughed, but I like them. They look nice and fit well, if I do say so myself.
aaaaWhen I'm wearing them, the mean rabbits don't pick on me as much. Even though they'll never admit it, I'm pretty sure the bucks have a secret crush on Dewflow. They worry that if they break my things, she'll take offense and won't play with them anymore, not like she does in the first place, but hey, you never know.

aaaa"Hey, Aconite," the leader of the mean rabbits says to me one day.
aaaaI look up at him, confused. "What do you want?" I ask warily. He never speaks to me, and definitely not when we're alone.
aaaa"Uh, so, the mask," he says nervously.
aaaa"Yeah, what about it?"
aaaa"Uh, so Dewflow made it?" he stutters out.
aaaa"Yeah," I say again. "So?"
aaaaHe leader hesitates before blurting out, "So do you think she'll make one for me?"
aaaaMy head jerks back in surprise, but not the bad type. Is that why he's been so much nicer to me? Why he hasn't said a hurtful thing in months and always volunteers to help around the house, even though the other mean rabbits have picked up on it and won't play with him anymore? I think he might be growing on me.
aaaaI contemplate it for a second before finally saying, "...she might."
aaaaThe leader - his name is Talon, by the way - nods before bounding away. I'm pretty sure he's blushing.

aaaaLater, I see Dewflow handing him a cape. I never tell Talon that I asked her to make it for him.
