"Are those…" I murmur, staring at the winged rabbits as they hover, swoop, and flutter around the hall. Most are jet black, their fur gleaming like obsidian, but a few are lighter shades—grays and snowy whites with patches of golden brown. A small pair of horns protrude from the tops of their heads. One particularly bold rabbit flits close to me, its translucent bat-like wings edged in black with iridescent silver. Its nose wiggles as it regards me with wide, curious eyes before darting away with an almost mischievous chirp.
