The Titan's roar shook the cavern until cracks split the ceiling like spiderwebs. Stones rained down. Lin's Stone Sense burned like fire in his skull.
Crystal barked in his head: "Incoming collapse! Evacuate now!"
Elara shouted, "Move!"
Nyra raised her staff to cast a shield — but before the spell could form, the floor split. The three of them fell, screaming, into darkness.

Unexpected Landing
They tumbled for what felt like forever, then hit soft ground with a whump.
Lin rolled over, gasping. "Grass…?"
He sat up. They were no longer in a cavern. Above them stretched a perfect blue sky dotted with clouds. They lay in a rolling green pasture filled with wildflowers. A gentle breeze blew. Birds chirped.
Elara blinked. "What… is this?"
Nyra stood slowly, brushing dirt off her robe. "It looks like a safe zone."
Lin sprawled on his back, eyes closing. "Safe zone. Grass. Sunshine. No worms. No dogs. I could cry."
Crystal's voice was flat. "Analysis incomplete. Caution advised."
"Shut up," Lin muttered. "I'm taking a nap."

The Bunny Appears
A soft rustling came from nearby. A small white bunny hopped out from a bush, nose twitching. It had big round eyes and the fluffiest fur imaginable.
Elara smiled faintly. "It's… adorable."
Nyra tilted her head. "Maybe it's a healing familiar?"
Lin cracked one eye open. "A bunny? Finally. Something normal. Come here, little guy."
The bunny hopped closer. It sat by his chest, looking up at him with innocent eyes.
Lin reached out to pat it. "Who's a cute little—"
The bunny's ears flicked back. It inhaled sharply, and a gust of compressed air blasted from its mouth.

Funny Death – "Bunny Suffocation"
"Wha—" Lin started, but the bunny launched a ball of swirling air directly at his face. It wrapped around his head like a vacuum, cutting off his breath. He flailed, gasping, clawing at nothing.
Elara's jaw dropped. "Is that bunny—"
Nyra finished, horrified. "—using air magic?!"
Lin wheezed, "ARE YOU SERIOUS—" and then toppled over, limbs twitching. His health bar dropped to zero.
[Respawn]
He reappeared at the edge of the pasture, still gasping. "A BUNNY?! A FREAKING BUNNY?!"
Crystal's voice was almost laughing. "Correction: Aero-Lepus, a mid-tier air elemental predator. Known for suffocating prey."
Lin threw his arms up. "Oh great. Fire worms. Rock dogs. Stone titan. Now air bunnies. WHAT'S NEXT, KILLER BUTTERFLIES?!"
Oh yes Jinx them let them appear crystal said

Humor Amid Chaos
Elara backed up slowly from the bunny, which now hovered slightly above the grass, ears glowing. "It's cute but terrifying."
Nyra whispered a spell, trying to shield them. "This biome is… different. It's not Earth or Water or Fire. It's… Air."
Lin's eye twitched. "Oh perfect. The Avatar cycle continues."
The bunny inhaled again, cheeks puffing up like a balloon.
Lin pointed at it, voice cracking. "Don't you dare—"
A compressed air bullet shot past his head, blowing his hair straight up.
Dozens of bushes rustled. More bunnies hopped out. Some floated off the ground, ears glowing with pale blue light. They began to circle, forming a miniature whirlwind.
Lin stared at the growing spiral of adorable doom. "Oh no. No no no. This is not happening."
Crystal's voice was suddenly sharp. "Air Biome detected. Hazard level: escalating."
The ground beneath them trembled, wind screaming louder. The bunnies' eyes glowed brighter.
Lin raised his club, shouting at the sky. "I HATE THIS GAME!"
