[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

Clutching the jade piece to her chest, Tuzi knew she must find Sister YuXin one day, to thank the fox spirit for her kindness.

Raising her eyes to meet the werewolf's, Tuzi bowed her head slightly to show her appreciation. "Thank you for keeping this safe for me, Golun. And for so many years too. I am grateful for this reminder of Sister YuXin. She helped me during a very scary time in my life."

Golun's expression was empathetic. He remembered the sight of her, after the woman had single handedly defeated the horde of werebears that fateful day. To describe that event as traumatic was an understatement. Most men would have ran from the horde, yet this goddess here stayed and avenged her village.

Looking into the rabbit shifter's hazel eyes, he told her very seriously, "If there is a time where you feel scared again, just call my name. No matter what, I will protect you."
