Once I had made plans with Mishal to et at the front gates, I transford back into a cat. Now that I rembered how to do it, the transformation was as easy as blinking.
"Will I get to see you again?" As I started for the door, Sakura asked, stopping to look back.
"Co by the manor soti alone, and tell them "pickled cherry." They will know what you are talking about. I probably won't be there, but you can wait and help out until I get back," I explained in that sa incredibly deep voice, but Sakura nodded without freaking out.
"Thank you! I will co tomorrow and help out until you get back! You look like you are soone that can fight, and I also do. If you crossed blades with , that would be greatly appreciated," Sakura explained, and I nodded.
"Now, that sounds like so good fun and a good way to unwind after Bramma," I said and then turned to bound out of the tent.
Once I was outside, I ran around so won and headed over to the massive wall, stopping. I waited as the two guards from the gate walked by , seemingly on patrol. The one that had pointed out was watching , so I tried to act as catlike as possible.
"Sarah, I think it's that sa cat again. Do you think it's following us?" The one looking at asked, and the other let out a long sigh.
"Brenda, it's a cat. Nothing more, nothing less. We see them all the ti, so there is no reason for you to get all worked up about it," Sarah said in a tired voice. It seed that this was a normal line of conversation for the two of them, so I just grood myself.
"Sarah, I am telling you that there is sothing different about that one! I ain't never seen a cat, so snow white like that running about! It should have a bit of dirt on it, but it's clean," Brenda said, shaking her finger at .
Of course, I was pure white! I was a god, after all, and my coat would always stay white. That ant nothing to these two, but Brenda was entertaining to listen to.
Sarah pulled her alone, and the two left alone. That just left getting back, and I only had two options. Up or around.
Around would take so ti if I didn't want to draw attention. Going over was not an easy task either. One hundred feet wasn't sothing that I could make without such serious magical help, and that would also draw attention. Growing wings was also out, so I was left with a final idea.
I sat down and used a claw to slice my paw deeply. Blood dripped out, but the wound almost instantly healed. There was enough blood, and I quickly ford a summoning circle, targeting my brother.
The circle lit up, and twelve circles appeared around it, lighting up. I hoped that it didn't draw people's attention, but I was sucked into the circle before I could look around.
Why was I getting pulled back in? Leo had submitted it to already, so there was no reason for this.
Regardless of what I wanted, I was being sucked along the astral highway back to Leo's Astral Isle. The road there was just a smash of colorful lines streaking past .
Suddenly, I was overlooking the grassy savannah, and I took a deep breath of the dusty but fresh air. The place brought back mories of fighting, training, and many laughs.
"So, does this an after all this ti, you are finally back? Father told that you both talked, and he is proud of you! Not really one to give out complints, so when you called for my power, I thought I would call you over," Leo said from behind , and I turned around with a smile.
"I really wasn't planning on coming by, but I can see why you might want to talk. I am sorry for abandoning my post," I said, but Leo shook his lion head, his galactic mane shaking with him.
"You have paid your price tenfold, in my opinion. I didn't bring you here to berate you; I just wanted to see you, my brother that has been a stranger for far too long," Leo said with a big smile and a tear leaking down his cheek.
,m I walked over and embraced my brother, and it was nice to be able to actually rember who he really was to and the ti we had spent together. Both of us broke apart, and Leo wiped his eyes.
"I am sorry about that."
"It has been far too long, my brother, so I understand. How is Capi?" I asked with a smile, and Leo rolled his eyes, shaking his head.
"As lovely as she is hard-headed. My love has been busy lately with your girls. She has been trying to get the Golems to start changing their ways, but they do not follow my wife without having her likeness," Leo sighed, and I raised my eyebrow.
"Tallia was telling that the Golems were holding the Living Dolls hostage. I assu that is the case then?" I asked, and Leo nodded with a downcast look.
"Their problems run deeper than just that, but I will let you deal with them. You are the one for the job, after all. No, I just brought you here for sothing of a reunion, but I can see that you look tired. What is it that you need my power for? Is there a foe?" Leo asked, and I gave him a sideways look.
"I didn't want to walk around," he said sheepishly, and Leo shook his head.
"I would like to say that I am surprised, but I am not. You should stop by and visit my wife. She talks about you whenever I visit," Leo said, and I nodded.
"I am going to have to make ti to visit everyone, though I am a bit worried about going to see Sage. I cut Elfinia off from him," I said, and Leo scoffed.
"I was with him when it happened. I haven't seen Sage laugh like that in awhile. That one needs to learn a lesson, and I think you handled it quite well. Honestly, I am surprised that you didn't rough her up more," Leo laughed, and I shrugged.
"This shrew is far from tad. I foresee a lot of headaches to co from Elfinia," I sighed, and Leo laughed more.
"You can say that again!" Leo laughed, and I scowled at him.
"You are getting too much enjoynt out of this! You don't have to deal with all these won!" I snapped, and Leo shrugged.
"These are all won are people that you have interacted with to bring them here. Not all of them are good. Elfinia was not happy when you left," Leo said.
"I still don't have all those mories back yet. It seems I can pull them up if I try, but I am getting nothing about Elfinia. She and the other goddesses were close to , right?" I asked, and Leo nodded.
"We just train the girls to give them sothing to do while you are busy. They all disappeared when you left, but we gained contact with them all right away. So seem to rember you, while ones like the Elf seem to be blocked," Leo explained.
"Well, I guess we all will have to work on it. Send back now so I can get over this wall. I still have to say goodnight to my countess and then get ho to my other Elf," I said, and Leo nodded.
"Good seeing you again, little brother," Leo said with a smile, but I was pulled back to my cat's body before I could yell at him. The doofus ca into existence a fraction of a second before and will not let it go!
I slamd back into my body, but now I looked like a mini lion, I was sure. My paws were burning with galactic fire, and I could see and feel my mane acting all crazy. I needed to get out of here quickly.
"Sarah! I told you that flash of light was sothing! What is that thing?!" Brenda exclaid, and I looked over my shoulder to see the two plain guards looking at with shock and awe.
I turned my head to the top of the wall as the astral currents flowed around . I focused, and the distance between and the wall vanished, leaving the guards behind.
That might not have been the best way to deal with them, but I was starting to get tired. I would have to just deal with the consequences tomorrow. Now it was ti to see how Eliza's day went and then get back to Listenia to do so training before bed.
