"Upon the homba he gave great cunning, upon the hawk, sharp talons, upon the cat, silent feet, upon the weasel, great speed, among the wolf, great teeth, all to hunt and slay the children of El-Ahrairah." Bluebell says as Alexis is laying with Dandelion before Hazel goes outside.

"Fiver!" Hazel shouts from outside as Alexis looks to the opening before walking to it before seeing Fiver on the ground.

"Fiver!" Alexis says happily.

"Is that...? It can't be! Fiver!" Hawkbit says as he comes outside.

"Fiver!" The other rabbits shout as they come over.

"How did he... How did he...?" Hawkbit asks as bigwig nuzzles Fiver.

"He's back!" A doe says.

"I don't understand." Hawkbit says.

"By Frith he made it!" Bluebell says.

"What happened to you?" Hazel asks.

"Hazel told us you were attacked by the cat. How is it your here?" Alexis asks.

"It was the humans. The little girl. She saved me from the cat." Fiver says.

"Maybe some humans do understand that all living things suffer that all living things deserve respect." Hazel says.

*Years Pass Timeskip*

"Dad tell us another story about how you helped save our home." Lily shouts happily as she is playing with her sister Moon and her brother Bark.

"No play with us!" Bark shouts as Dandelion chuckles.

"These little ones definitely take after you in their energy." Dandelion says as Alexis nuzzles him happily.

"Maybe but they take after you in their enthusiasm. I'll be right back." Alexis says as she sees Hazel laying down and 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... my 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.
