Gut Feeling

"I'll be back soon," Whisker suddenly said, standing up from his throne. Though he tried to hide it, his excitement was clear as his entire body trembled.

"Where are you going?" a cold voice responded instantly, but Whisker didn't bother turning toward Blackgate.

He chuckled. "Since when do you care about me? I'll be back soon. Don't miss me too much."

Before Blackgate could say anything else, Whisker abruptly vanished from the hall. In the next second, Blackgate couldn't feel his presence in the abyss anymore.

'He left his world?' Blackgate was both surprised and wary. Since he had met the beast, Whisker had never left his world. It was strange, and he didn't like strange.

A low sound, "urg," suddenly drew his attention, and his gaze fell upon the branch heads and others in the hall, on their knees under the weight of his overwhelming aura.
