I'm so sorry it took so long to write this chapter! I was just procrastinating forever. Oh well, all I have to say about this chapter is that Flying mint bunny is not America. Infact, I only realized how similar he sounds to America after I'd finished writing it, and I'm way to lazy to rewrite a whole chapter. So, sorry if this seems weird.
Also, the beginning of this chapter takes place in Arthur's childhood, just in case you get confused.

Arthur yawned as his father tucked him into the rags the older rabbit had snatched from the farmer that lived just outside of the forest that Arthur's family called home. They had been desperate to find something to keep their son alive this winter, their first three sons had sadly died from their first of the winter coldness, their small bodies just couldn't take it, even with their parents sharing their own body heat.
And so, in their desperate situation, the two had decided for one of them to go and steal something from the farmer's house in hopes of keeping Arthur warm enough the he'd be able to survive his first winter. Though, with unsaid doubts, they didn't really believe he'd survive, as he was definitely the smallest child they had ever had, and there-fore was also the most fragile.
As Arthur snuggled up between his parents he couldn't have known that not only had his parents efforts saved him from the winter cold, but also the magic that he had unknowingly been born with. His dead brothers before him had also had magic, but for one reason or another his magic was stronger, and was fighting to keep him alive.

Arthur couldn't believe it! He had been told stories of the fabled flying mint bunny by his mother as bedtime stories, but he had never expected to actually meet the magical being! Of course it wasn't like he didn't believe they existed, he was completely sure that they did, he had met a few fairies in his time.
"Um. . . h-hello?" Arthur stuttered, unsure on what to say to the mystical creature.
"Huh?" The mint bunny turned around at Arthur's greeting. "Oh! Hello there! Who are you?" The mint bunny asked cheerfully, fluttering around Arthur.
"I-I'm. . . Arthur. . ." Arthur said quietly, taking a few steps back as the mint bunny tried to grab one of his floppy ears.
"Oh, well hello there Arthur! My name is Minty!" The cheerful mint bunny said, reaching over to try and grab one of Arthur's ears again.
"Could you please stop that?" Arthur asked as he batted the mint bunny's paw away from his ear.
"Awww. . . But they look really soft! But okay. . ." The mint bunny pouted and backed away, staring forlornly at Arthur's floppy ears, but quickly adopted his cheerful personality again.
"So what are you doing around here? I don't remember seeing any burrows around here, and why would you live so close to a wolf's den? It doesn't seem too safe to me. . ." The mint bunny trailed off waiting for an answer.
"Well, I don't live here, I'm actually trying to get back home. The wolf you mentioned brought me here with the intent of making me his next meal! I escaped from him but I don't know which way my actual home is. . ." He trailed off, looking down to the ground with a sad face, his ears drooping forward and covering his face.
"Oh, don't be sad! I'm sure you'll be able to find your way home! In fact, I think I can help you!" Minty said confidently with a shining grin.
"Do you really think you could?" Arthur looked up at Minty with hopeful eyes, his ears flopping apart just wide enough to see his tear pricked eyes.
"Of course I can!" Minty said proudly, pulling out a magic wand from seemingly nowhere. "I'll be able to transport you home with my magic!" Minty tapped his wand with his paw a couple times, making a small amount of sparks spring out of the wand's end.
As Arthur listened and payed attention to Minty he forgot to keep pressure off of his hurt leg and started to stand normally, only for a sharp stab of pain to explode up his lag. "Ah!" He exclaimed, quickly lifting up his hurt leg and hunching over, gasping in pain.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?!" Minty asked, flying over and letting the floppy eared bunny lean against him. He could feel the floppy eared bunny shiver in pain against him, and his concern only grew.
"My leg was broken when I tried to outrun the wolf and escape. . ." Arthur gasped out, his leg bone must have jutted out of place when he pressed down on it and lifted it up to quickly.
"Um. . . I think I could help you with that. . ." Minty trailed off with a thoughtful look on his face. He wasn't exactly "skilled" with healing magic, but this bunny needed him, he was sure he could fix a mere broken bone! That was meant to be a piece of cake compared to something like curing a fatal disease!
"Re. . .real-ly?" Arthur stuttered out, letting go of Minty and laying down on the grass on his side so he didn't hurt his leg more.
"Yeah, I'd be able to heal your leg if you like." Minty said, clutching his wand uncertainly.
"P. . . please. . ." Arthur tiredly pleaded, glancing a half lidded eye up at Minty.
Minty firmly nodded his head "you're going to black out for a while, but you'll be totally fine." So, with a wave of his wand, Minty began to cast the unpracticed and faulty healing spell, not knowing if it would actually help or do more bad than good.

Chapter end! I really hope you liked this chapter and I'm really sorry about the cliffhanger, trust me, I know what it feels like, it was just the best point to end the chapter.
Also if you get the reference that the chapter title is, than you might be able to guess what happens in the next chapter.
Anyway I hope you have a nice day and please reveiw!
