In an unknown forest the sound of birds chirping resonated throughout the forest.
i opened my eyes only to set my sight on tall trees i turned my head to check my surroundings and i saw other tall trees with some of them with a different appearance with it's unusual fruit.
'where...am i?' i thought as i tried to stand up when i felt something move behind me and so i checked what it was but what i saw left me confused.
'a...tail?... don't tell me.....' i immediately checked my hands only to set my eyes on two paws.
'is...is this their doing?!?! no wait i have to calm down it isn't even possible to turn a human into an animal with our current technology' as i pondered what happened to me i came to the conclusion that im already dead but i got reincarnated.
'unbelievable as it may be this is the only conclusion i can come up with—but what kind of animal am i?' as i wondered what species i was i felt my tummy rumbling asking for food.
i stood up with all fours and tried to search for food when a peculiar tree caught my attention—it had purple leaves with a blue colored trunk, it's branches were bent downward pointing at the ground with it's bluish-purple apple like fruit dangling about with a height of about 60 feet tall.
'is that fruit edible?' was the first thing that i thought.
i then approached the tree and tried climbing it—with my sharp claws it made it easier to climb i then picked up a fruit and pondered wether i should eat it or not.
'i would have tested it first if this is edible but i don't see any other animal here except me...guess i have no choice' making my mind up i took a big bite on the fruit and started munching on it.
'this...this is sooo delicious!!' i exclaimed enjoying the fruit before i finished all of it, different from an apple it was more of like a grape inside.
'i should take some more of this but how am i gonna carry this?'
*rustle*
i thought of bringing more of it but i realized i had no way to carry it when suddenly i heard a rustling noise from the bushes next to the tree of where i was at.
'i have to cautious as i don't know what type of creatures lurk in this forest'
the bushes continued to rustle untill a creature leaped out of the bushes—it was a rabbit with three horns being the other two half of the middle horn's length and width.
'a horned rabbit?!? this seal's it i really am in another world' i was surprised for a second but composed myself the next second as the rabbit ran away as though it was being chased.
i instinctively climbed a bit more higher enough to observe what was about to unfold in front of my eyes when a another creature appeared trampling over the bushes and lunged itself toward the rabbit with high speed and the next moment the horned rabbit was in it's mouth with blood dripping out of it.
'w-what the hell just happened?!?! what kind of speed was that?!?' baffled by the sudden attack of the predator i examined the creature to know more about it.
It resembled a wolf but the sheer difference can tell it's not a wolf: It had silver-white fur with a tinge of yellow and it had two tails with it's fur on the tip being colored yellow, It had four eyes and its fur on the back seemed to be hard and sharp enough to pierce a metal the same goes for its claws.
'this forest really is dangerous it's a good thing im up a tree if i didn't climb a bit more higher "that" might've noticed me'
i continued to watch it walk away with the rabbit on its mouth untill it was completely gone from my sight.
'i think it's much safer to travel using these trees and since the gap between the trees are enough for me to leap across' finding a way to travel i started climbing higher after minutes of climbing i reached the top to examine the area.
'what a beautiful scenery and the air here is so refreshing' i was captivated by the scenery it made me feel i really wasn't on the same world as earth—the scenery consist of green leaves extending throughout the land with a few different colored leaves, there were; purple, red, yellow and a single white tree taller than the others and it seems there's a huge gap between the white tree with the other trees.
'i need to find a water source first before i plan on doing something else i think i saw a river north from here next to the tree with yellow leaves'
i climbed down a bit head first and leaped to the other tree, i continued this action till i reached my destination.
during my way to the river i encountered different species with different characteristics but resembles the animals back on earth, the deer like creature caught my interest the most with it's crimson red hair around it's body it wasn't normal as it was flowing like a liquid that made it look like blood with its antlers being pitch black with a tinged of red and it's tail were a bit longer and its eyes being white.
it actually noticed me while i was watching it and immediately rammed it's antlers at the trunk of the tree where i was staying at even tho i tried to erase my presence completely but i managed to brush it off my tail.
'finally...water!! i haven't drunk anything since i woke up and it's already been five or so hours after i left the first tree i conquered' i excitedly descended from the tree head first and went straight for the river and immediately drank some water.
after i had my fill i noticed my reflection on the river water.
'huh?...this figure....im..a red panda?!? ehem...well i am cute so i guess i can accept this new life of mine heck im even thankful im reborn with my memories intact' accepting my new appearance i examined my body as i didn't have the leisure to do it earlier.
my back had a soft, reddish-brown fur with my belly and legs being dark in color: my bushy tail were marked with alternating red and buff rings, my face was white with a reddish tear tracks extending from my eyes to the corner of my mouth i also had whiskers.
'i don't look so different with the red pandas back on earth actually i look the same!!' thinking of this a question crossed my line of thought.
'what's my gender anyway?' as i thought of this question i braced myself and sat down then slowly moved my eyes downwards to check if "that" is still intact.
after i witnessed what was down there i silently and tried to comfort myself with various reasons.
'it's fine even if i had "that" i wouldn't be using it anyway' i thought of this while my eyes started releasing a bit of water on the corner of my eyes.
depressed by the information i learned about myself i continued to weep but was suddenly disturbed when a horned rabbit the same as earlier jumped out of a bush behind me.
'huh?!? shit! i should've wept up a tree' surprised by the sudden appearance of the rabbit i took a stance ready to run but changed my mind as i saw before these horned rabbits were faster than me.
'what do i do?'
*Bark!*
while i was thinking of a way to escape this situation i suddenly barked in a high-pitched manner which surprised me for a second but regained my composure as the rabbit took a stance and then lunged itself towards me.
but my body instinctively stood with my hind legs and raised my two other paws up in the air and releasing a loud call that sounded like a bear was in a room(while quacking).
[or a snort of a pig while quacking?]
'what the fuck?!?'
