The rabbit has teeth ... found out how to use them ... and had defeated some of the worst of Chaos’s bad actors. Not without cost. But ... more wome... showed up at the island. They had been downtrodden. Now ... with training ... they were past equal to the ragtag men and not about to go back to being punching bags for drunken louts.We weren’t saying that the rest of Chaos was the better for us.
