Ed couldn't see and hear anything. Hell, he didn't have any coherent thoughts running in his mind...but instincts were another thing. He was cold and hungry. His small and feeble body moved automatically to seek and locate his mother's warmth. It did not take long for the dire rat pup to locate his mother. Her warm body alleviated the strange cold the pup felt before. His hunger was sated by suckling upon one of his mother's teats. He was not alone, his siblings also wished to sate their hunger. The others had to struggle and squirm around before they managed to reach a teat. Ed was lucky to be near his mother, and did not need to contend with his siblings for his mother's warmth and milk. The very first days spent reincarnated were spent in the company of his 'mother' and 'siblings'. A couple of days pass by with little issue. They fed and were warmed when she was there, and squirmed about in the nest when she wasn't. The feeling when she was away was bad. Even worse than the cold. Ed hated that feeling.

Ed's senses were developed enough for him to see and hear properly. His mother had black fur that almost seemed blue and was very large in his perception. He looks around the nest and sees his siblings. Their fur varied from blue, brown, and some grays. Ed had seemed to have inherited his from his mother...kind of. He knew that his mother kept them in the nest for their own protection, but the outside sounds were just so intriguing. Even more so to a young dire rat that was very curious about his surroundings. Ed wanted to see what was outside of the nest and one day he would be able to do that. A few more days pass and Ed feels that he has mastered the fundamentals regarding how to walk and maybe even how to run. He was proud enough to say that he even knew how to jump better than majority of his siblings, maybe even almost as good as his mother! 

He had waited for the time had come for everyone to sleep. He had barely managed to sneak past everyone without waking them. It was now or never, his mother and his siblings were sleeping and the time had come for him to see the world outside of the nest for the first time. Even in the short amount of time he was alive, he could easily conclude that he outside was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Even more beautiful than the first time he seen his baby sister. He froze in place. Rather than seeing a dire rat like himself in his memory, he was in a large white room with bright lights with a small hairless ape like being in the arms of a larger and older female of the same species that was laying on a bed. Beside her was a larger male, with a wide grin directed at both the female and the small one, before grinning at Ed. He spoke to him. [b]"Don't be shy, Edward. Come say 'Hi' to your baby sister."[/b]

It was then memories flooded back. Not like a gentle trickle, but a flood of memories crashing back into his mind. 
His family, his life, his death, and the deal he made were all instantaneously forced back into his mind. The pain was excruciating.
