Chachacha! Prologue part 2, then the chapters start. I found time to write. Go me.
Noe: I'll be introducing characters slowly, where I see fit. Can't just thrust them in where I want to.

PROLOGUE PART 2
The beast snarled at the two rabbits. Unemotionally wiping the specks of spit from his face, the blue rabbit spoke.
“Lets start with this. What retched place did you crawl out of, hellspawn?”
The second rabbit nodded in agreement. “You sure as heck don’t look like a rabbit, or even a turtle.
“Don’t expect me to answer at the whims of you low-class creatures. I am beyond your comprehension, I-oof!” The second rabbit stepped back and gave him a hard kick. In this motion, the hood fell off, revealing a pretty, grey-furred female rabbit. Her long, black hair was tied back, and her green eyes were screwed up in an expression of large annoyance.
“Lower-class? Well, you just got handed to yourself on a plate.” She glanced to the side at her comrade’s sword. “If he doesn’t answer soon I’ll be tempted to use that thing.”
The rabbit shrugged. “You heard the lady. Tell us what you are.”
The beast stared at the blade. “Not likely.” The beast then let out a shattering wail that caused the two to drop to the ground. Knowing it’d last mere moments; the beast scampered out of the alleyway and leaped onto a nearby ladder, before climbing away to safety.
“Oo…” the disoriented rabbits climbed to their feet.
“Dang, we lost him.” The blue rabbit turned back to his female partner. “Want this sword back?”
“Sure, why not. Got it from some little store selling weapons for cheap.” She took the weapon back and twirling it fancily in her hand, thrust it under her cloak.
“Not a bad blade Ducky, a little rusty, but nothing polish can’t fix.” He looked towards the ladder where the creature had fled. “Think we can catch him?”
“Not likely defalcon, that thing moves pretty quickly. Our best bet is to track another down and lure him into a trap like this one.” She kicked the wall, causing dust to fall from its cracks. “But at least we know to wear earplugs next time, or something.”
“Yeah,” defalcon pressed his ears back gingerly. “A sonic soundwave of some sort, painful.”
“But obviously he didn’t think he’d be able to take us both anyway, so it’s not that useful for keeping us down for long.” Ducky bit her lip lightly. “Lets head down to one of the local inns and see if we can find anything out.”
“Alright then,” defalcon retrieved his cloak and with Ducky, set off towards the more seedier parts of the city.

Tell me what you think, please.
And Skulg, I can see you replying, get on ICQ!!!
