Arrow started panicking, “I won’t be able to go back to Porcelain Colony and after Comet attacked Master Coney, there’s no way any Magia will let us get anywhere near their colonies without trying to kill us.”
”You just figured that out?” Said Rusty sarcastically.
”Unlike you, some of us actually liked the life of a Seeker and I don’t like the idea of being an Outcast!” Yelled Arrow.
”Be quiet, we don’t want to attract attention out in the open here.” Said Blue, they were in the middle of the wide river. The water was low, they could see the steep banks on either side of them. It would be very easy for a rabbit to spot them and they wouldn’t even know.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUTe8XsoI
Comet noticed the growing heat since they had no shade. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhLrJYN8K
Blue tried splashing water on himself but slipped and nearly fell overboard. Arrow quickly pulled him back to safety.
“At this rate we’re going to die of heatstroke before we ever get to Silver Colony.” Said Blue.
“Or starvation.” Said Arrow, examining his bag. “Our rations have run out.”46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms6kXS4AGE
“Do you hear that?” Asked Comet. They were silent but they could hear shouting and screaming. Like an intense fight was going on.
“Sounds like it’s coming from Gold Colony, maybe they’re fighting with Copper Colony again.” Said Blue.
“I don’t think so, they’re in an alliance.” Said Arrow. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEnuv90X0n
A moment later, the boat suddenly stopped, they were confused until Comet saw an exposed tree jutting out of the water, their boat was jammed against it.
“Maybe we can dislodge it by jumping.” Suggested Blue. Despite them all trying, the boat remained stuck.
“I guess we’ll have to swim the rest of the way to Silver Colony.” Said sarcastically.
“At least we have shade.” Said Blue, looking up at the bridge above them. “And maybe some Watchers will come across and see us.”
“I don’t think anyone will be able to see us from here, thankfully. We must be right next to Gold Colony territory and we do not want to be stopped by them.” Said Arrow. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK07gduWfy
“But what if it’s finally some good luck for us? After all, Orion lied to me so I don’t know how I can trust him with the Master-Medallion.” Said Comet. “Seeing what’s happening in Gold Colony might give us some useful information.”46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhTOuUOW6F
Arrow just grunted, reluctantly accepting his idea.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDPllBx7iL
Comet used a diamond stone to make a loud sound, someone would hopefully hear it. After a while, some rabbits did finally appear, their heads staring down at them from the bank. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5seTYFlUtK
They heard them shouting and calling to them, it was difficult to hear them but finally, Arrow worked out that they were trying to work out a way to pull them up.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2oKz9L79
Arrow tossed the reminder of the rope attached to the boat to them. A few of them tugged it hard and then they heard a loud crack, a moment later water began seeping through the boat rapidly.
“Hurry!” Comet called urgently, the rabbits pulled the boat to the bank as it fell to bits. They are forced to scramble up the muddy bank. Once they got to the top, they were able to watch the remains of the boat drift away.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzPRTl3QrW
“You must be the hare that the Magia brought to the valley.” Said one of the rabbits excitedly.
“Uh yeah,” Said Comet awkwardly. It was better they thought he was a hare but he knew that once the Master-Medallion was energised, Master Coney would have no problem revealing he isn’t a hare.
”Sorry for being so rude, my name is Dot and that’s Button.” She said, pointing to a grumpy looking grey rabbit. “I’m hoping you’re here to discuss peace with our colony. We have just had a terrible battle with a horde of wild rabbits that came out of nowhere, Copper Colony abandoned us to them.”
“Or maybe they have come to us while we are vulnerable, we should make them leave.” Said another rabbit, who glared at them. It was hard to take them seriously when they were so round and fluffy. Arrow had been worried for no reason.
”We don’t want to bother you, but we would like to speak to your leader.” Said Comet.
“Hmm… you can, the Seekers with you will not be allowed to come into the leader's burrow.” Said the rabbit. “I’m one year older than you, so that makes my decision final.”
“Alright.” Said Dot positively. “I get to take the hare to GoldWhisker then.” 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHDNdhI51j
“Go, I’ll keep my eye on the rest of them.” Said Button. Some other rabbits came to join Button to keep Arrow, Blue and Rusty going anywhere.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55IqtvSlEz
It was now evening and Comet was led across a lush meadow, with wild flowers, long grass and sparse bushes. It shared some fruit trees with Diamond Colony. The ground was flat and comfortable.
“This colony is so beautiful.” Said Comet. So far, this seemed like the best colony to live in.
”Yes, it is great isn’t it.” Said Dot, “Many say it’s too exposed to the elements but we have a wonderful warren.”46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarL4EXfCj
It was obvious where the rabbits travelled, as the grass was very worn down in paths that covered the colony. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BPGDC5qZF
It had a very peaceful quality until Comet saw blood in the grass. He looked out and saw the grass was ripped up and covered in blood.
”I’m surprised rabbits like you can fight.” He said innocently.
”What do you mean? Of course we can fight.” Said Dot angrily. “Our colony defeated those wild rabbits and our brave fighters are currently at our most Southern border, making sure they don’t come back. “
“Sorry, sorry, it’s just that you don’t look like the rabbits from the other colonies.” He said.
”You mean, fluffier?”
”Uh yeah.”
”It gives us protection from the elements and it gives us some protection. It’s more useful than you think, and it’s also beautiful.” She said.
Comet just nodded.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA3y8Kjnrw
They went past a large hollow log, which was colourfully decorated. Rabbits came out of the warren to look at the newcomer though they kept their distance. 46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2YyGztSR1
Comet saw a building in the distance and once they got to it, he saw it was a ruined, old cottage. On the old stone steps sat the fluffiest rabbit he'd ever seen, he couldn’t even see his eyes though he had a sparkly gold emblem around his neck. He had a bandage on his ear and back leg.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtkwZWXlH
“I am GoldWhisker. What brings you to my colony, hare? Has the Magia already heard of our battle with the wild rabbits?” He asked.
”No, we’re here to try and bring peace to the valley. I don’t like the Magia’s methods and I thought that maybe we could come up with some solution before the Golden Alliance and the Magia go to war.”
”So, you are disobeying the Magia by coming here then?”
“In a way… but the Magia needs something I have, if we work together, we can stop them without destroying the valley.” Said Comet.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1PZlHRaI
GoldWhisker looked serious for a moment. “I like the idea but I don’t know if FlintNose and RiverCharm will agree to working with a magic user. Besides, my rabbits are focused on defending the colony from wild rabbits right now.”
”We’ve been having issues with wild rabbits on the Northside too. They’ve been acting strangely aggressive and coming closer and closer to our colonies.” Said Arrow.
“Shouldn’t the Magia stop them?” He asked scathingly.
“I think they’re more focused on controlling the colonies than anything else… besides, I don’t think they know that the rebels are somehow working with them.”
”What do rebels have to do with wild rabbits?” Asked GoldWhisker.
”I don’t know, but where the rebels go, wild rabbits are never far behind. They must be trying to use them to destroy the colonies. We even saw wild rabbits with the infection… The wild rabbits you fought didn’t have the infection did they?” He asked, stepping back a bit.
“No, I didn’t see any with the infection but clearly these rebels are a much worse threat than I realised.” Said GoldWhisker.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJCz0eQqLU
Comet thought for a moment. “These rabbits are a threat to the whole valley. If we could just get all the colonies to work together, they wouldn’t be a problem.”
“That is impossible as long as the Magia is in control of the northern colonies and rabbits here will not cooperate with magic users.”
“It’s not magic, it’s using the energy of resources.” Said Comet. “And remember, in the past all rabbits could use what you call magic.”
”Yes, but then a terrible war happened between all the colonies, so terrible that we had to vow to never use magic again and overtime, we forgot how to use magic… the Magia has done a terrible and dangerous thing by bringing back magic to the valley.”
“So you don’t know how these rabbits used magic then?”
“Of course not and I don’t want to.” He said. “We’ve heard rumours of what the Magia has done, magic is evil.”
“Magic isn’t the problem, the Magia is and the only reason they are a problem is because they are the only ones that can use magic right now.” Said Comet then showed GoldWhisker the Master-Medallion. “What I have here could give every rabbit the ability to use magic.”
