First Persistence Raiding - Lilith-rah, Bracken, and Jeremy
A whisper of the boiling summer heat drifted between the three rabbits’ ears, causing them to shiver in worried anticipation. The leaves had fully emerged on all the trees lining the forest's edge and as each day passed, each rabbit could swear they looked ever so slightly greener than the day before. The silence that hung between the trio was thick with fear, anticipation and dread, it seemed as thick as honey. It glooped and glued them together. Not even Jeremy dared say a word, this mission was serious. Extremely serious. They could not let it fail with them still alive.

The mission itself was the surveillance of a strange new warren that had appeared just inside the forest’s edge. Warren Delta had not known the presence of any other wild rabbits anywhere within what they considered their territory and so these newcomers were regarded with high levels of suspicion. This mission was to establish how friendly this new warren was and to establish why they had planted themselves so close to the well established Warren Delta. Only the best were chosen for this mission: Lilith-rah, the obvious choice seeing as she’s the warden of the warren; Bracken, the strongest rabbit in the entire warren; and Jeremy who’s… Honestly no one could quite put a paw on Jeremy’s role in this mission.

They approached the new warren’s location, slipping as silently through the grass and new undergrowth as they could. Lilith-rah nodded to Bracken and Jeremy before splitting off and snaking away sharply to the west. Bracken and Jeremy altered their course ever so slightly, aiming straight for the back of a rather thick fern. A shiver ran through Jeremy as she realised how close they were to the enemy. She almost squeaked in fear if it wasn’t for the well practiced glare she received from Bracken. He’d been training hard under Lilith-rah and was tied with her for most death inducing glare.

The pair reached the fern and sat to watch the rabbit holes they were assigned. All was quiet. The gentle end of spring breeze had even quieted. Not a single movement was to be seen. And so, Jeremy decided, now was the time to make a loud comment. “Well thi-” she began, cut off by a fluffy paw in her mouth and a deadly glare from her stalking partner, Bracken. The glare soon ended, though the paw remained firmly in place. Jeremy was struggling to think of anything except the last time Bracken washed this paw, it tasted utterly disgusting.

Sundown soon arrived and the pair met up with Lilith-rah once more. The warden had a rather concerned look on her face as the three met up. “I recognised some of the faces I saw. It’s not newcomers. It’s rabbits we know. I saw Nic’tyne-rah,” Lilith-rah’s expression gained a slight haunted look as she finished her sentence. Last they saw these rabbits, they were bodies scattered around the hill. They were dead, not alive, and should definitely not be wandering around digging entire new warrens.

First Persistence Raiding - Part B - Lilith-rah, Bracken and Jeremy
The night’s stars twinkled in a clear, navy blue sky. The towering trees over the unlucky trio blotted out many of the shining specks with their huge, dark leaves. The trio of brainless rabbits were huddled together under another large fern, whispering angrily between themselves as they jumped at any slight sound. These idiots were not made for a night outside the warren, they were too dumb and too used to the comfort of a dark rabbit dug hole. Who knows what lurked behind the shadow of a tree, perhaps a fox or a badger. Or maybe just another tree. Who knows, they certainly don’t and they definitely don’t want to try and find out.

Jeremy and Bracken sat close together, exchanging death glares as they licked their wounds. The two of them had both tripped over the exact same branch. Not at the same time, mind you, but one after the other. Jeremy watched Bracken trip, fall and injure himself before following after him and also tripping, falling and injuring herself. The slightly insulting jokes Bracken made after the fact were what had caused the exchange of death glares. It was only minutes previously when the pair were yelling at each other in a nonsensical argument before being quickly quieted by a fox’s scream n the distance.

Lilith-rah was sat a short distance away, staring up through the trees at the stars they could still see. There was no emotion shown on her face. She hadn’t moved since they’d gotten there, though Bracken and Jeremy were too caught up in their ‘argument’ to notice. As she sat and stared at the sky, she was muttering to herself, barely audible above the sound of the night time forest. Suddenly, she stood up and turned to the two idiots. “Right, come on you two. I know where we’re going,” she said, turning around and walking in the direction she’d decided on. Bracken and Jeremy were quick to follow.

First Persistence Raiding - Part C
Today was not a day that Bracken expected. Nor was it one he could ever dream of experiencing. As he stared across the vast green plain him and his enthusiastic companions had wandered across in their travels, he saw the very meaning for his existence. He saw his greatest adversary standing across from him, no more than a short run away from him. He glanced back at his two companions, both were talking about the beast in their path. They seemed worried, he could understand why. But there was no need, no need at all, he would deal with the foul creature and save them from certain death.

Bracken took one last glance at his companions as he puffed out his fur menacingly and prepared to attack. This was not done sneakily as his companions noticed his change in behaviour. “Bracken, what are you doing?!” Lilith-rah all but yelled in his ear, Jeremy mutely nodding in agreement, her eyes a little wider than usual. “Oh, don’t worry yourselves, I am going to fight that beast!” Bracken replied. Lilith-rah tried to yell back in response, but Bracken has already set off running. It was hopeless, this fool was going to get himself killed.

Bracken bravely charged up to the mountain of evil flesh that threatened them, ready to give his life to save his Rah. He gave his mightiest war cry as he leaped to attack the beast. He attempted to dig his claws into its thick flesh, only to find they just scraped loosely off the surface. He gave it his all, repeatedly scratching at the beast as it effortlessly repelled his attacks.

Lilith-rah and Jeremy hopped over to Bracken, finding him flailing madly at the leg of the animal with his eyes tightly closed. “Bracken,” Lilith-rah said. “Bracken, stop.” The two does had matching disappointed stares as Bracken turned around. He grinned sheepishly and darted off along the route to home.
