It burned.
The kiss of the sun.
Skin branded and glowing hot with its embrace.
Gods, it burned.
Consciousness came all at once; the slap of life to the whelp now choking on scarlet and sand. His body ached, fireworks exploding behind his eyes with a pounding in his head to match.
A splattering like great swathes of poppies pooling around his head—how long had he been unconscious? A swipe of his paw revealed the source of the marring—gore dripping from his nose, his ears, trickling in rivulets to encrust once feather-soft curls.
Delirious.
Reborn in that grit.
He did not know how long he walked, be it mere steps or many miles— only that eventually there was water and shade. And with a body that felt as though it crackled and smoked, he disturbed the crystalline surface, embosomed save for his head in the chill.
Never before had he been so grateful for water.
Even as the darkness claimed him once more.
