This is absolutely no place for children. You take dear, sweet CASEY into protective custody.
Author commentary: It's incredibly important that John takes Casey with him. First, the fated journey of the rabbit must continue. Second, Casey must continue on her/his journey toward becoming the legendary necromancer and ultimate savior of the final epic battle, Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer. Think I'm bullshitting you about this? I would never do that. How dare you.
