I just got halfway through writing a bunny mythology for school about Watership Down, when I realized it had to be positive and not some depressing shit like I was writing!
El-ahrairah, Rabscuttle and Alvin are the best of friends. Whether it be running through the meadow, playing tricks on Lord Frith, or heeding their childish impulses, the group was always together.
One beautiful spring morning, the three rabbits were planning their next big scheme when Alvin fell sick. Eager to continue the plan, El-ahrairah and Rabscuttle kept going without Alvin, though this may have been a good thing for him. Their plan backfired badly for it accidentally blew up Lady Calista’s burrow. Not wanting to be in trouble, El-ahrariah and Rabscuttle placed the blame on Alvin, and he was sent to court.
“Alvin,” Lord Frith said, “you are currently on trial for destroying Lady Calista’s burrow, and I find you guilty.”
Quiet gasps were emitted from El-ahrairah and Rabscuttle. They thought what they did was wrong, but not this serious. The two wanted to stand up for their friend, but did not want to meet the same fate.
“You are to be immediately removed from this warren and sent out to live on your own for the remainder of your days.”
Alvin was heartbroken. He loved his home, his friends, everything. But it was all being stripped away from him, right before his very eyes.
Quickly leaving the seemingly large room, tears threatening to drip down, Alvin quickly left, not bothering to say goodbye. Afterall, they had stayed silent, why should he bother. It was their fault that he was being exiled. It was their plan in the beginning. It was their fault that an overwhelming swirl of anger was circling inside of him.
Right then and there, Alvin promised that swirl that it could come out later, it would just have to be patient. Patient while he built a new warren. Patient while he built an army. Patient while he marched. Then it could come out. Then it could strike.
