Just a very small chapter but i wanted to post it anyway because i'd hate to keep you waiting ;-;.

Spaztic rubbed his paws trough his eyes. He turned around and stared at the neglected houses.
He turned around to face the others and told them that he needed to be alone for some time.
Spaztic walked trough the empty and depressing streets of Earian.
He could hardly believe his eyes. The statue of king Jazz was decapitated, his bronze head lay in front of his feed, overgrown with weeds.
A small bird sat down on the edge of the bird bath, Spaztic walked towards it and wanted to take the small bird in his hand but it flew away into a bush.
Spaztic followed the bird with his eyes and noticed that someone was looking at him from behind a bush. The person moved when he discovered that he was noticed and fled towards the river. Spaztic tried to follow him, but when he jumped trough the bushes, the person had disappeared without a trace.
The sun came up, the sky turned a beautiful deep purple.
Diamondus slowly rose above the crumbling cottages.
The fire that Mcatis and SlaYo had started was slowly dying out.
Ninja was sleeping and Mcatis covered him up with a blanket he had found in one of the houses. SlaYo had found two can of bean dip, gave one to Mcatis and opened his own.
Mcatis sat down next to him and yawned.
“Tired hey? I don’t blame you, it has been a long day. SlaYo said as he put the can of bean dip to his lips and the contents slid down his throat.
“Lump, disgusting, just like mom used to cook it.” He said jokingly, but he did not laugh.
Neither did Mcatis who gave his can to SlaYo and lay down in the soft grass.
SlaYo threw a few branches on the fire and watched them being consumed by the flames.
He heard a twig snap to his left and quickly turned his head.
As he looked trough the bushes he saw a dark silhouette behind a tree.
It stood there watching him.
“Spaztic?” He whispered. The person did not respond but ran away when it noticed that SlaYo moved in it’s direction. “Mcatis we have visitors, get up and look after the kid.”
With these words he ran of into the dark forest. Mcatis was sound asleep.
SlaYo ran trough the bushes in pursuit of the mysterious person.
He jumped over tree trunks and fought himself a way trough the density of the forest until he reached a small trail.
He looked around. The mysterious person was nowhere to be seen.
A few rays of sunlight were creeping over the treetops and the sky now had a soft, pink colour. Diamondus, the moon of Carrotus was disappearing at the horizon.
SlaYo had no time to watch the moonset thought. He sat down in the grass next to the forest trail, his back was leaning against one of the tall oak trees. The wind seemed to be playing a game with the leaves. A slow breeze came over SlaYo’s face as he closed his eyes so that he could fully concentrate on his environment.
He could hear the birds sing their songs high up in the tree’s, the squirrels running over the crispy leaves that were spread trough out the forest, but he could not hear the mysterious person. SlaYo rose to his feet and wanted to walk back when suddenly he noticed someone at the end of the forest trail. The person could not see him and slowly walked down the trail.
The person seemed to be standing still with his back turned towards him, but slowly turned around. SlaYo stopped dead in his tracks and noticed that it was Spaztic.
“Have you been creeping around the forest?” Spaztic asked him.
“I haven’t I wanted to ask you the same question, I was following someone who ran into the forest when the person noticed that I was following it.
SlaYo and Spaztic were both silent for a moment and they looked down the trail again.
“I guess he or she is gone. We’d better be careful, the person might come back.”
They turned around to enter the forest again, heading back for their camp.
But after the took two paces, SlaYo felt something gently brushing against his leg.
A net quickly closed around them and pulled them high up in the air.
They were hanging there in a net, about 10 feet from the ground.
The mysterious person came closer, it’s face, covered by the hood of a black cloak.
When the person stood a few feet away from the it removed its cloak.
They looked at a tall and slim rabbit, she had beautiful long, black hair that ran down to her waist. Her mouth hang open a little when she saw them.
“Welcome back Spaztic and SlaYo, I’ve missed you.” She said.
