Peace On The Down

"I'm so glad you're alright Alexis." Fiver says as he is with Alexis.

"Me too Fiver. I'm going to take a walk. I'll be around it you need me. Just want to get some fresh air since I've been cooped up with the humans for a little while." Alexis says.

"Can I come as well?" A voice says revealing to be Hyzenthlay.

"Hyzenthlay? If you want to." Alexis says as she leaves with Hyzenthlay.

*Timeskip*

"I'm very happy you're back Alexis. I missed you." Hyzenthlay says as is with Alexis by a pond.

"I missed everyone while I was gone." Alexis says.

"I was really shocked at you going like that. You're a very kind and strong rabbit. I was afraid you would not come back." Hyzenthlay says

"But now I am back." Alexis says.

"Yes. You are. I do not want to lose anyone else like I did with Holly." Hyzenthlay says.

"Oh right. Holly... did you ever find another mate?" Alexis asks curiously.

"No. Didn't find one who caught my interest." Hyzenthlay says.

"Oh... well I'm just happy to be back. To be honest you were the one I missed the most while gone. I did what I did to protect you and everyone else. I really like you Hyzenthlay. But you love Holly and I understand that." Alexis says as she looks at Hyzenthlay.

"I like you as well." Hyzenthlay says as she smiles.

"Huh?" Alexis asks in shock.

"I do love Holly. I will always love him but I fell in love with you as well. But I didn't know if you'd feel the same with us both being does. So I chose Holly and it ended badly." Hyzenthlay says sadly.

"Hyzenthlay I love you regardless if we are both does. I just wish you would of said something." Alexis says as she looks at Hyzenthlay.

"Well I am now. I love you Alexis. I hope we can show that love here on the Down." Hyzenthlay says as she smiles.

"I feel the same way Hyzenthlay." Alexis says as she smiles and nuzzles Hyzenthlay.

*Years Pass Timeskip*

"And that is why even is dark times we must never give up our hope young ones." Hyzenthlay says as she and Alexis are laying with their adopted daughters Amber and Holly.

"That's amazing mom. Is that why I was named Holly?" Holly asks as she looks at Hyzenthlay.

"Yes. Holly was a very brave buck to us both. He meant a lot to everyone here." Hyzenthlay says.

"Can we be brave like you two some day mom?" Amber asks.

"I'm sure you can but right now enjoy life as it comes. Now run along and play." Alexis says as Amber and Holly run off.

"Hazel's still not himself is he?" Hyzenthlay asks seeing Hazel by a pond.

"No I'm afraid. I'll be right back." Alexis says as she goes over to Fiver.

"How is?" Alexis asks.

"Not good." Fiver says as he and Alexis go over to Hazel and lay with him.

"Whats news?" Hazel asks.

"Oh nothing much. We just wanted to come sit with you a moment if we may. What a path we've walked together eh? Oh it's been such a pleasure, an honor and a real privilege." Fiver says as he and Alexis lay down beside Hazel.

"It's been a wonderful road we've walked together. It's been even more amazing getting to have you as chief rabbit Hazel." Alexis says.

"Are the two of you alright?" Hazel asks.

"Yes we're alright. We just came to say goodnight to you. Our leader... our brother... our friend. So... goodnight." Fiver says as he and Alexis nuzzle Hazel.

"Goodnight." Hazel says as Fiver and Alexis get up and moves away to nearby the outside of the warren as they listen to Bluebell telling Hazel's story before looking up at the clouds seeing a rabbit shaped cloud floating and realize Hazel's spirit is running forever.
