Prompt: Animorphs, Rachel, darkness
It's quiet, in the after. She sleeps for… a long time. How long? Worlds are born and fade away into the nothingness. It's quiet and she stays still, wrapped in a blanket of sky, of cloud and star. She rests. It's been so long since she could rest, since there was nothing to do, nothing to worry about.
When she wakes, she rolls to her feet and assesses herself: nothing hurts, or aches, or throbs. She's in a pleasant place – trees and grass and flowers and birdsong. And a path, leading… somewhere. She glances at the sky and steps forward.
