[b][center]Strength - Chase Rivers[/center][/b]

Need to get to safety? The little kid's words play back in his mind. The rabbit knew more than it was letting on, to be sure, but if they were really in danger, then...

The hairs on the back of his neck rose. Feeling a pit of dread in his stomach, Chase forced himself to look away from the others deeper into the forest. Nothing. Just massive trees and extraordinarily tall grass. He let out a sigh of relieved tension. What had gotten into him? Being scared by a few words, honestly... Feeling at ease, he took another drag of his cigarette and almost swallowed it when a [i]mass[/i] of black, writhing tendrils and mist landed with an awful noise by the edge of the clearing.

[b]"I'd assume that's... him."[/b] He said quietly, not sure anyone heard him. The mist and tendrils soon dissipated into nothing, revealing a more humanoid figure. He was monstrous in size, he had to be over eight feet tall and nothing but rippling muscle. Wearing simple black trousers, the man was topless with the exception of two sleeves strapped with belts on his hands. His black hair was tied into a ponytail. This would not scare Chase much, even if his size was a bit unnerving. It was those gleaming yellow eyes that set him on edge. The man's gaze was set on the White Rabbit.

[b]"White Rabbit. Why are these humans here? It's time to stop this childish tantrum and come back to Queensland."[/b] His voice was tense, like honey on gravel as his eyes swept over their group before locking on the rabbit again. [b]"No... why is [i]she[/i] here?"[/b]
