It was a sunny morning and the sun shines full of its glory. A rabbit stood somewhere on the northern side of the meadow. It was a brownish rabbit with little stripes of green at its head and ears, It woke up recently after sleeping from its burrow.
“I was supposed to be alone in finding that delicious seed and that damn slime came out of nowhere and ambush me. If it wasn’t for that hare, I would have killed it.”
The rabbit was a female that represented through a paw shaped in the front with a fluffy bosom to insinuate how it is different from its male counterpart which has a paw on its back with no fluff on its chest.
She was angry, but calmed down after a night of wonderful sleep inside her warm burrow and successfully found the seed and ate it. But still, she was angry, just how the slime came by was unexpected. She sighed since she knew the rules herself, being small is kinda annoying since underestimated being preyed on by the slimes. There is nothing more to scare them than being bigger or having a strong presence or aura.
On the topic of aura, it always intrigues her how often it comes from beasts of big sizes and predators. It is like they were made for it or sometimes it may be another type of defense against others to avoid being attacked by other creatures. If a small critter wanted to be feared and respected, one must do all it can to refine its traits that will be used in battle like any traits for fighting. Whether it be poison, speed, kicks, punches, charges, throwing, etc. It can serve as an achievement if one can become useful or dangerous which will prove to other creatures not to mess with them. One can still be respected when a creature is good at support and production roles, but few can accomplish these two positions.
The rabbit chose her quick and devastating kicks, reflexive body, and sharp hearing to be refined and used in battle. Maybe one day she may put herself in the ranks of the forest. The forest is the gathering of the strong from the Meadows and being accepted and put into ranks in the forest is one of such honor.
The hare was such an annoyance that can be traced from childhood. The rabbit and hare were taken when they are young by the horned lagomorph, a big pika that is the size of a goat. They were chosen because of their constitution which made them more outstanding than any of their peers after a test of selection by the horned lagomorph for the sake of the Meadow.
The rabbit and hare competed with each other in a hardcore fashion trying to be the best against each other, but what is so hateful for the rabbit is that the hare was showing slowly to be superior to her in skills. She was fast and versatile compared to the rabbit is short and stout while the hare is lean and long and capable of using her paws used as fists. It slowly shows of how disadvantageous this is to the rabbit.
The rabbit trained hard in her kicks and movement for someday to surpass her opponent, but the hare was faster and harder in the following days. The rabbit was beaten in the final days in a duel. The hare was taken by the horned pika to be taught by the lagomorphs of the forest.
She saw her dreams and goals shattered in front of her and was left with a burning motivation for revenge against her foe. One day, the rabbit’s kicks will shatter the superiority of that hare. That Damn Bitch!
If only she can have more opportunities to be stronge-- *growl*
Her ears are raised in alertness while having a little bit of embarrassment about her growling stomach.

“I better go hunting…. and try to search for veggies and fruits”
Hunting is fine, but it’s tiresome work to find the other two food to last long in the following days for the rabbit since this is the part that takes a long time to find. She has storage beneath her burrow for storage purposes and it is cared for and hidden well from intruders and other problems.
The rabbit then hops slowly while looking at her surroundings. She saw slimes bouncing all around and thought of an idea.
“I’ll have a snack first before starting to gather food.”
This will calm her from the sudden slime attack, and satisfy her hunger. She increased her speed and bashed against the slime with the control that allows her to kill while maintaining some parts of the slime’s form. The paws and legs have a faint glow of emerald green. She ate her meal immediately after the slime got immobilized.
The slimes were shocked and saw one of its fellows get killed and eaten by a rabbit. They felt fear from the rabbit that is covered in slime and exuded an aura of death. So they bounce far away from her, then the rabbit chases them after eating her bounty. It then commences a massacre against a small group of slime with bluish goop spread around the grasses of the meadow.
P.S. The pitiful slime is a little sticky, unlike the other slimes that are sticky and slimy even after death.
In the morning, the slime awoke feeling refreshed, but still hungry since eating a bunch of insects last night is not enough. It then shook from its tiny hole and dirt that covered the slime’s body is sprinkled all around. The slime hopped towards the light and saw how beautiful and blessed the morning was every time it woke from its burrow.
The slime stretched its body in an elongated manner, it's like breathing the air while warming the body up. It then looked from side to side if there are any onlookers or predators watching its whereabouts.
The slime breathed a sigh of relief for picking this place, and then it went off in searching for edible materials to consume since being hungry is the most hated thing by the pitiful slime community. The plan for the day is to find and eat food while finding that friendly and superior slime, a neutral slime. Recommended by the veteran pitiful slimes if you want to know more. The slime encountered them after bouncing away from its spawn point just to look for food.
The slime went toward a slightly formed hill in the meadow and saw something shiny on top of it. It was odd how shiny it became. When it looked closer, the slime was shocked that it was another slime.
The slime on top of the slightly formed hill was intentionally making itself shiny. It was incomprehensible to be understood how anyone would be stupid enough to become an attraction to many until a black blur came down swooping from the sky.
The slime that is looking at its fellow slime was afraid and worried for the other of it being killed, but then a surprising thing happen. The slime on the hill moved and started to form a protrusion on its side. When the blur came closer, It then jump and immediately extended further its protrusion to smack the thing out of the air toward the ground by forming it into a bat.
The thing smashed to the ground with the gore of blood, meat, bones, and entrails spread out from the hole. It was a hawk, a truly deformed bird after being killed.
This hawk was called the “Skydiver”, known for its maneuvers of diving towards its prey from high altitude, and if it almost hit the ground. The beast can force itself to transfer all the momentum through the control of magic which is the element of wind. Thus avoiding a collision. Unfortunately, the hawk died before activating its ability since it got shot down with a huge force making it hard to control the wind, and came down crashing to its death.
This was a hard achievement to be accomplished since no pitiful slime of the meadows can do it, but this is not pitiful. This is the superior counterpart that is related to them, the neutral slime, capable of using its energy much more to strengthen itself.
The slime saw this incident and thought it was safe, it went closer to the neutral slime on the hill. When it arrived, the neutral slime was eating its meal. All parts of the blood and body of the Sky Diver Hawk on the ground got consumed slowly piece by piece by the slime.
The neutral slime looked at the new arrival and called out to it. It found out it was a newbie among the pitiful slime of how it moved and the maturity of energy inside the body.
“Oh, hey there newbie! Sorry for the mess! My name is Neut.”
