Great Honor

Okay, to be fair, it did look like the Easter Bunny from hell, but it was still pretty obvious what it was. It was maybe six feet tall with a pure black fur coat and ears that had seen better days. Ans sure, it had blood-red eyes and fangs the size of my fingers… but whatever was growing on its back definitely could have passed for a bow.

At its feet were multicolored eggs that, while on the larger side, could have been used as a prop in any mall to celebrate the spring season.

"You know Istar?" asked Da'kea in a whisper, as if even mentioning its name was enough to summon it for the pits of hell. Mind you, if it was that easily summoned, then it would have saved us quite the commute.

"I don't know that," I said, pointing to the hologram in front of me. "But we have a fairy tale on Earth about a bunny that leaves eggs in people's… it's not a fairy tale, is it?"
