The mountain of diamond

Deedy found himself hurtling from the mountain peak into the unknown! He plummeted downwards, still standing as if he were running, his mind rendered numb. He then closed his eyes, surrendering to his fate... He expected to collide with a rock any moment, shattering his bones, and become a mere mass of flesh...a lifeless entity!

He heard a rustling around him, so he opened his eyes and beheld, for the first time, towering trees as he fell amidst them.

Suddenly, he found himself sneezing rapidly like a rock plunging into a deep, blue lake, sinking until his feet touched the bottom.

Despite his lack of swimming skills, he fought against the watery depths, striving to breach the surface for a breath and a cry for help! The buoyancy of his inflated fur coat offered him a precarious reprieve, allowing him to hover slightly above the water's surface. Yet, his struggles persisted as he flailed, screamed, and swallowed water, his terror escalating with each passing moment, his heart thundering in his chest, almost resigning himself to the bleak fate awaiting him.

In a moment of salvation, a powerful hand seized his neck, dragging him from the watery abyss to the safety of the shore, where he lay unconscious, spared from the brink of oblivion.
