"In the gallows or the ghetto; in the town or the meadow; in the billows even over the sun, every end of time is another begun"
-A time not long after the adventures of Hazel in the gang, and in a nearby warren lived a rabbit by the name of Juno.
-Juno thought that he had it all, he was one of the highest-ranking officials of the Owsla and was set to become the next Cheif rabbit. And he had had many children. He was a very successful rabbit indeed.
-Needless to say that it got to his head; he would strut and prance around (much to the annoyance of everyone around him) and he would constantly brag about how he was the next to become chief, even insisting that his friends call him Juno-rah.
-One day while Juno was out relaxing in his favorite spot on the grass he noticed something peculiar: Next to frith seemed to be a strange, silvery orb. Juno squinted to see better and noticed that it was coming towards him. Thinking quickly he hopped back from where he assumed it was going to land. No sooner had he done this the strange orb lighted down where he was once sitting.
-curious Juno sniffed about it. He circled around it twice giving it a good look over, wondering why it had come down in the first place. Finally, his intrigue got the best of him and he touched the orb with his paw.
- No sooner had he done this the orb suddenly shifted into the shape of a rabbit. The rabbit was silvery just like the orb, and in the right light, a rainbow could be seen in the fur. Overall the rabbit looked young, yet it's rainbow-colored eyes seemed to hold the knowledge of a thousand lifetimes. Just looking into them gave Juno chills.
-Before Juno could speak the odd rabbit spoke first
-"Hello Juno," it said. Its voice sounded oddly familiar; Juno swore he heard it before, yet he couldn't quite put his paw on it. The only thing he knew
-The egotistical rabbit tried to find words but couldn't as he was enthralled by the way the stranger had appeared. Hrair questions raced through his head. how did he get here? could anyone else see it? What was going on?
-"Take your time" the stranger chuckled warmly, "it's not uncommon that you mortals freak out, or, what do you rabbits call it? Go tharn? Yes, that sounds about right."
-Juno found his words soon enough. "Who are you? And what do you want?" He questioned.
-"You already know who I am, you've seen my work, as for what I want
-Juno cut him off before he could continue. "I have never seen you before in my life."
-"Do you want me to continue or do you just want to hear yourself talk?" The stranger questioned.
-Juno ignored this and interrogated the stranger, "What is your name?
-"Well Juno, what is your name?"
-"You already know my name! Stop trying to be funny!"
-"Well Juno, to be perfectly clear, I don't have a name. Why would I ever need a name?"
-"You're kidding, right? Everything has a name, the birds! flayrah, even frith himself has a name!"
-"Who is frith? Oh! I know who you're talking about! Good fellow, a wee bit younger than me, honestly I'm honored that, what did you say? Ah yes, he was able to create a world for it- himself."
-Juno looked completely perplexed. He felt a pounding headache coming on. He tried to comprehend the knowledge that had just been dumped on him, but only managed to ask a question.
-"Y-you know frith?"
-"that's what you call it, yes"
-The younger, foolish rabbit was about to tell the stranger how crazy he was but stopped himself when he remembered how the stranger got there.
-"Then why have you come here?"
-"Frith, as you call it, asked me to." He said simply:
-"Whatever fore?"
-"Something about you being egocentric, as you mortals put it. If it and I weren't such good friends I would've never come. That's something I always found funny about 'him'. 'He' cares too much for his creatures. But it's 'his' first time, 'he'll' learn eventually."
-"you are making no sense." Said Juno finally.
-"A mortal would say that" he sighed.
-Juno grew hot with embarrassment. He didn't like being talked down to, it made him feel terrible and he didn't want to feel terrible; he wanted to feel good.
-"Anyway, now that I've shown you you're not important, I'll be on my way." The stranger than promptly turned away towards the woods.
-"Wait!" Juno had jumped in front of the stranger to stop him.
-"You do realize I can just go up, right? This rabbit body is only an illusion so you can interact with me."
-Juno was only half listening to what the stranger was saying. Juno, being very foolish was too excited about interacting with a real god figure in person. I must be very special if I was chosen to be visited by someone frith knows himself! Wait, can he read my mind?
-"If you're wondering, no I can't read your mind," said the Stranger, "I'm not the one who can do that."
-*I bet you have dirt for brains, you idiot.* Juno childishly insulted. The stranger gave no reaction.
-I guess he can't
-"So are you going to ask for your fortune or something?" The stranger yawned. "I can wait here forever, and I do mean that. I just can't make ever wait for you."
-Juno thought for a moment before questioning.
-"What do you think of me? Am I charming? Annoying?" A smile started to form on his face.
-"To be honest I don't care for you at all, you could be the worst rabbit in the world and I still wouldn't care. To me your entire life, this conversation will be what a blink is to an entire lifetime. I do not care what happens to you at any point in your life. No matter how hard you tell yourself."
-This reply wiped the smile off of Juno's face. He felt embarrassed and defeated. Yet the stranger simply sat there, unmoving, uncaring. Then Juno made it right then and there to be remembered, somehow someway.
-"Stranger? Is there any way I could make you remember me?"
-The stranger simply shook his head. Then added, "you can call me anything you like."
-"Uh is June okay?"
-Juno got no response.
-"June, there *must* be a way to make you remember me! There must be! Please from the bottom of my heart please be!
-The stranger had a thoughtful look on his face. "Perhaps..." with this Juno's face lit up quickly. "...if you can give me a good reason to remember you by."
-Juno was giddy when June suggested the idea.
-"Yes! Yes! I'll do anything!"
-"then show me what you've got."
-"well, um, do you like how I dance? I've got a cute little prance?"
-June looked thoughtful at Juno for a while then said to himself thoughtfully. "Consequential enough to slip you into a trance, but still, not anything special."
-"Do you like how I hop?" Juno hopped around until he got tired, yet June didn't react.
-"Do you like how I talk?" Again nothing
-"Do you like how my face-"
-"disintegrates into chalk?" June cut in. This cause Juno to be suddenly thrown off.
-"What is that supposed to mean?"
-"All life is temporary, and you were becoming quite a bore anyway."
-"Fine!" Juno huffed. The chances of him being remembered crushed. "Then can you at least do something for me?"
-"what would that be?"
-"Could you show me what you actually do?"
-"Me? Of course." And with that June closed his eyes. The sun started to fly through the sky, and the moon shot up in its place, only to then fall back down and get replaced by the sun. Juno was awestruck.
-"So you can manipulate time?"
-"Yes, it's my specialty. I told you you know about me."
-"How far can you go?" Juno's interest was piqued.
-"As far as I want," June said.
-"Can you bring me to next spring?" Juno tested.
-"Yes, but I must warn y-"
-"Then do it!" Commanded Juno. The young rabbit was too foolish and too giddy about June's ability to care for the warning.
-June complied, and a few seconds later it was next spring.
-"WOW!" Said Juno, thoroughly impressed
-"Anything else?"
-"four years into the future?"
-June hesitated but did as he was told. The landscape changed drastically, the grass dried up and the trees browned and died, in the distances, Juno could see factories dumping out loads of smoke from The their tops.
-"there we are, 4 years into the future."
-"What happened here?" Juno asked confused.
-"I'm just the time 'rabbit', I don't know."
-" We need to relocate the warren someone where safe! We can't die to those humans!" Juno was jumping with glee inside. He couldn't wait to go back to his own time and save the entire warren. Then he would go down as a hero of the warren for generations.
-Trying to contain his excitement he asked if he could go back four plus one more years. To which June replied "no."
-"Why not?"
-"Because time doesn't work that way. I can't go backward. There are some things that even we can't control.
-Juno's blood ran cold. "N-no, there must be way back! There had to be!"
-June simply shook his head. "I'm sorry. Do you want to go any further?"
-"NO! NO! BRING ME BACK RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! I'LL CLAW YOUR EARS OFF! I SWEAR."
-"Then it looks like I'll be going then," June said sadly.
-Juno lunged at June but only collided with cold, rotten, dirt. He looked up to see the orb slowly fade away into the sun. Around him lay a desolate place where man reigned supreme. He cursed at the sun for a while through the smog-filled air. Then hung his head in hopelessness.
"It's not fair," he cried, a single tear rolled down his cheek. All he wanted was to be remembered, to be something more than he already was, yet he had thrown his entire life away. His friends and faintly were gone, and barren landscape stretched on for miles. He had doomed himself with his own eagerness.
-The young rabbit's stomach began to rumble, snapping him back to the attention of his starving stomach, he hadn't eaten since that morning. He scouted the area. There was not a single blade of grass in sight.
Juno was mad He knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one Only friend In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the billows Even over the sun Every end of a time Is another begun You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything Ruler of everything I'm the ruler of everything In the end Do you like how I dance I've got zirconium pants Consequential enough To slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face Disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric You practice your mannerisms Into the wall If this mirror were clearer I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers On the side of the hill I was observing the birds Circle in for the kill I've been you I know you Your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry This is the way that I am I've been living a lie A metamorphical scheme Detective undercover brotherhood Objective: obscene Oh no No? Oh yeah Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an oh my God I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell Another story to tell Another timepiece ringing the bell Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end No You know it must be neverending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool Although you're only a man So give it up and Smile You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything Ruler of everything I'm the ruler of everything In the end Without looking down Gliding around Like a bumbling dragon I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh no No? Oh yeah
