We will give you a second chance at life...
A second chance at life...
A second chance...
The words echoed in the fawn's mind, as the memories of what just happened faded away. He could not remember who he was or where he came from, and it seemed like the first moment he had ever lived. All around him he felt softness and warmth, and his body felt heavy and relaxed as though he had been there for a long time. His eyes were still shut, but he could hear the sounds of crickets chirping, birds overhead, and the distant rush of water.
Slowly he opened his eyes. It was the first time he ever saw true sunlight, and it blinded him immediately. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the world around him. He patiently allowed the light to enter and his vision began to focus. He found himself sitting in a bed of violet flowers, with trees all around him. Sunbeams penetrated the canopy above, and mysterious specks appeared and disappeared before him. He gazed in awe at the second most beautiful thing he had ever seen, the first being his mother.
His ears suddenly caught a brief sound. He listened momentarily and heard it again. A voice in the distance was calling out. Then another, with a different tone in it's voice, replied back. The fawn was not alone in this wonderous place.
He tried to stand, and it took him a moment to balance. His body was somewhat weak, but he stretched his legs out and felt much better. He began to walk toward the direction of the calls. He could hear them getting louder, as well as the rushing water sound becoming increasingly louder too. He passed trees and foliage until he came to an open area, where he saw a remarkable sight.
