The Rabbit was extremely terrified now more than ever. With it's newly attuned sense of smell and sight, it was assailed with three times the fear, which rabbits had in great quantity. As quickly as it came, it left, easily abandoning it's beetle self.
The beetle was strong enough now to be aware of it's rabbit self's cowardliness, but could not fault it. It's mental facilites were more than occupied with survival anyway. In the back of it's mind it calculated what it had just eaten- straw. The beetle was confused, as straw did not have the genetics to develop into dragons, nor did they seem to have any qualities in common. It's little thoughts were suddenly assailed with a new experience- pain. It was on fire now, you see, as giant beetles are very easy targets no matter how quick they are. Although the beetle did not seem to have any flamible qualities, it burned freely! It felt it's wings turn to ash, and colapsed to the ground, flailing it's legs. Pain was a new experience to a being that normally did not have nerves, and occupied it's mind fully. In it's conflageration, the beetle realized that it's body was becoming unresponsive, that it was dying. Desperately, it focused on comunicating with it's other selves. A connection was made linking the three of them mentally. The beetle's agony was shared three ways. Even then, the beetle managed to relay as much of it's information as it could. Then, the connection broke, as the beetle could no longer bear keeping it. Flailing desperately on the ground, it devoted all of it's thought to crawling away.
Then, Eemp stepped on it.
The other two parts could feel it, then, the part of itself dying. What a horrible sensation it was, death- losing one's ability to exist... Equivilant to being cast into the nothing that seemed so intent on following the manikin. The moving darkness, the beast... And now, actual death. The two manikin parts fell to the floor, cringing at the idea. It did not want to die... But a new idea was stirring in it's heads, now- aN awkardly formed desire to strike back at the dragons, to avenge itself.
