Following Fluffington

A fat cat walked through the streets of Coastal City. Apart from a few curious stares at the cat's abnormal size, the citizens continued about their day, unbothered.

After all, cats were not considered magical beasts.

In a daze, Fluffington continued to walk through the streets, its body moving on autopilot, avoiding any obstacles in its path.

"Hey, that cat looks familiar," one of the nearby youths remarked.

"Wait, I remember now! That's the same cat that attacked us with the panda back in Frostburg!" the other exclaimed, a cold shiver running down his spine as he recalled the one-sided beating they had endured.

They looked around nervously, expecting Nox and the panda to be nearby, but they found no one.

"Should we tell Senior Ren?" one of them suggested. "I remember he's been researching that kid..."

"You're right, let's contact him."
