The hop is charged. I keep it.
Voltbun keeps the electric's bun: the held hop, the charged leap, the sparking jump. Pyrothon keeps the fire. The charge doesn't drop the leap.

The Road of the Unafraid
Fear is a doorway; clarity is the decision to walk through it.

III. The Unbroken Road — the road he hasn’t finished walking.

The living story
The story so far
The cloud-chord was struck in the top of a thunderhead at the exact moment lightning left it — a bright cracking note, fast as a heartbeat, gone before the thunder. It has been falling through storm after storm, bouncing once per storm, and the instruments barely caught its pulse: it moves too fast to measure and too slow to land. The clouds caught the rest. The thunder denies everything.
Happening now
Every falling night he dreams he is bouncing off the bottoms of thunderheads — boing, flash, boing — and Voltsparrow is racing him, wings tucked, laughing the whole way down. In the dream the sparrow always loses. On purpose. The bunny knows. The sparrow knows he knows. Neither of them stops. The storm-clouds have started bouncing — just slightly, just once per storm. The thunder denies everything.
What may come
The race is getting closer. The dreamers say Voltsparrow is losing by less every night — on purpose, still, but with more effort, like the bunny is getting faster even asleep. Nobody knows what happens when a dreamer finally outruns a sparrow. The clouds keep bouncing. The thunder keeps denying everything.

Temperament
The Voltbun within
“Voltbun is falling at full speed, which for him is barely moving at all — a thundercloud-nap racer bouncing once per storm, lightning unspooling in his fluff.”
Relentless, boastful, secretly tender — he trash-talks the people he loves and races hardest against them.
competitive, boastful, loyal, restless, tender-underneath, relentless
- Loves
- Dream-races, thunderheads, victory laps, lightning-yarn, rivals who do not hold back.
- Can't stand
- Sitting still, fixed races, the thunder's denials, the thought of being ordinary awake.
- How they befriend
- He races the people he loves — hardest against the ones he loves most.
- When you're having a bad day
- He will challenge you to a rematch you did not ask for — and if you truly cannot play, he will bounce gently beside you until the storm passes. The bravado drops. The loyalty does not.
How they’ll greet you: “You! Perfect! I was just about to win something! Want to lose to me?”
On Joe, the First Spark: BOING! You! Joe! Race me! ...he won't race. Nobody's ever beaten the wooden one because nobody's ever STARTED. You are going DOWN (lovingly) — wait, he didn't move. That's not losing! That's — okay, rematch! Right now! ...He's still not moving. Fine. I win. (He wins.)
A keeper’s whisper: Voltsparrow always loses. On purpose. The bunny knows. The sparrow knows he knows. Lately the losing takes more effort.
