[Excerpt from Novel] 

The Goddess remembered that day clearly. As she floated in the sky near the cold doors of death, she shivered. She had lost too much blood. The pain was overtaking her senses. She knew she was dying. 

She hugged the rabbit in her arms even tighter, not wanting to drop her loyal friend. 

How the Goddess had wished she could see her loved one, just one last time, she thought sadly.

The cold began to invade every part of her body, spreading itself like sharp frost through her bones. She had not thought that she would die feeling so lonely and scared. She choked back a sob. She wasn't sure if her eyes were becoming hazy and blurry from her tears or from her consciousness slipping away... 

"You're safe now... I will never let anything bad happen to you..."

"Thank you..." she whispered gratefully.

When the Goddess finally awakened, she was home within her palace in the Realm of Gods. She sat up slowly in her bed assessing her surroundings. 

Sunlight shone through the grand windows onto freshly cut flowers on the bedside table. She could hear the song birds serenading the world outside. The air smelled like a mix of vanilla and honey. 

Nothing was out of place here. She was wearing a light nightgown. She lifted the hem of it so she could take a look at her body. Her light skin was smooth and glowing. There were no injuries at all.

For a moment, she wondered if her time on Earth as Queen Chang’er was nothing but a dream. She took a deep breath when she felt something moving under the blanket. Curious, she lifted back the covers and gazed into the face of the little rabbit who had been her companion through it all.

The Goddess’s eyes became wet with tears as she lifted the rabbit up onto her lap. She couldn’t believe that the little bunny survived the journey to the Realm of Gods.

“Was it you who saved me…?”

The rabbit rubbed its furry face against her hands, wiggling her little cotton tail, happy that her master had finally awakened from her long slumber.

“You silly one…” The Goddess touched her finger against the rabbit’s nose, which caused it to twitch slightly. 

“For your kindness,” she said gently, “I will repay you, my little Tuzi.”

The Goddess worked her magic and changed Tuzi’s form into a human. Forever her companion and friend. The legend of Chang’er goes, that she became the Moon Goddess in the heavens, accompanied by her loyal white rabbit. Sometimes, if one stares long enough at the Moon, they can see the rabbit shift into a human.

Bunny and the Moon

Approaching the Goddess while frowning in frustration, the War God grumbled, "What are the odds of it being checked out, around the same time when we need it…?"

Considering the number of individuals who have access to the Forbidden Archives could be counted with only a fraction of her digits, the Goddess wouldn't consider those odds very high at all. And yet, here they were in this dilemma.

"Someone was one step ahead of us," the Goddess replied, contemplating the circumstances. "But the librarian would've commented if someone else had requested access to these Archives before us recently…"

"...Which meant that whomever took the book, likely didn't do it through any official capacity," Axel responded dryly. "Great…"

The Goddess glanced around the quiet room. First noting the large windows that lined an entire side of the wall. Then noting the only entrance that led into the room, was the one they had taken.
