CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The Rabbit at Last

Coryn motioned to the Band to hold back and remain on the limb where they had just lighted down while he settled silently on the ground near the rabbit. In a pool of moonlight, it stood seemingly frozen in front of a spiderweb. As rabbits went, this was not an especially impressive one. Small of stature, with an undistinguished brownish-gray pelt, it was completely unremarkable except for the white crescent on its forehead. This, in fact, was the signifying mark of a web reader, a mystic rabbit who could read in the webs of spiders “tidings,” as the rabbit called them, from the present, the future, and the past. But the information was most often incomplete and vague. It came in fragments, the rabbit had explained to Coryn, much like the pieces of a puzzle.

There was no greeting, and the rabbit did not deflect its gaze from the web. It merely took up as if there had been no interruption between that first time it had met Coryn and now. “A dark feather, ashes, bone. Is it now? Was it then? Or is it yet to come?”

Coryn knew better than to ask a specific question. If he did, the rabbit would give him a very confusing answer. But he could not help it. “Is it something about me?”

The rabbit finally turned slowly toward him. “Me…me…me. Aaah, youth! Even with kings, it’s all about me, me, me.”
