My status rose up after my evolution. A small wing, about only three inches grew on my back. Thanks to [Multiple Eyesight], I was able to see myself on third person view. I examined my features and moved around a little bit.
I really am so cute and so fluffy.
I'm so hungry, though.
I immediately ran down to look for Priscilla but she was not there anymore.
I spent a whole day evolving. When I went to look outside, Priscilla is not there anymore.
Where is she?!
I began to panic but my hunger is really a top priority right now.
I entered the house again and ate everything edible I found on the kitchen. Priscilla is not here to prepare my food so my cat self ate a lot more than I need. I really need her.
I let out a burp and just when I was about to step outside to look for Priscilla, my leg lost their strength and I fell down on my stomach. The impact made a thud, I am too heavy.
But thankfully, a bird came and snatched me.
I'm so getting eaten.
Andromeda overate and was in a food coma, a big hawk entered their home and grabbed her. THE END.
Just kidding!
The hawk grabbed me and took me to flight. I couldn't sense danger but instead, I felt security. Its sharp claws also positioned carefully not to hurt me, and our flight, despite being a huge and fast bird, was in moderate speed.
It brought me to its nest and showed me a big egg. Is it going to feed me to its baby? I hope not. I still need to find my witch.
The bird enclosed itself with ita]s wings and transformed into a human. This is peak fantasy world. I have never seen anyone transform from a bird to a human before.
What a beautiful face for a guy. He's shirtless so his stomach is exposed, on his side, there are black claw marks that made him look even sexier. He's well built but not buff. His pants are just normal black pants and he's barefooted. His brown hair is long and has feathers attached on them. His eyes are brown and his iris are sharp.
So, anyways, what's in this egg? If the bird is a man, he could not possibly lay an egg. Does he have a bird wife? Is this their home?
'Excuse me, sir hawk, I need to look for my witch before she bleeds to death or gets eaten by a beast.'
As if he read my mind, the bird went close to the egg. He knocked the egg and it broke, there, Priscilla, who's now unscathed but still asleep, came out. She's alive! Thank goodness.
But how? Was the egg a magical egg?
"I am Havoc-hafu from the Fliogan tribe. I'm sorry for dragging you here all of the sudden, Ms. Cat. On my way here, I saw a dying woman so I decided to help her," Hawk explained. His name is too long so I'll just call him Hawk. I meowed at him. He thought of something for a moment and snapped his fingers.
It's kinda weird to talk to a cat formally. He's a weird man--bird--a man bird.
‹ Can you communicate with me now, Ms. Cat?› WOAH! He used Telepathy on me. I know telepathy since I've read a lot of fictional stories back on earth.
‹Yes, thank you for saving my master. How did you know I can communicate?› I asked.
‹ I sensed a high intelligence in you that a normal cat shouldn't have. Also, I saw you evolving so I waited for you to wake up.› He explained and smiled.
Even though I'm a cat, I feel like I just blushed. Wait. He did not watch me sleep, did he?
‹ What's your name, Ms. Cat and why are you in a cat form?› He asked again, too nosy, huh? He's a good guy for saving my witch so I'll tell him.
‹ I am Andromeda and I don't know why I became a cat.›
He looked at me with 'I see' look and carried me. He examined my body and checked the star on my forehead.
‹ A-ah, by the way, did you see who did this to her?› I asked. I wish he would just put me down.
He carried me, putting me against his chest and caressed my hair while answering. ‹ They're from the Witches' tribe.› The anger in his voice was evident like saying 'this happens very often, it's sickening'. He sat down while still carrying me. While waiting for Priscilla to wake up, he told me everything he knew about the witches. The danger they bring, their nature, why they are considered to be the world's enemy, and why they target their felloe witches who escaped, like Priscilla.
Just listening to Hawk's story, I've realized how dangerous and evil witches are, totally different from Priscilla who is very kind and gentle. Hawk also told me the extent of a witch's power and what happens if they curse a person.
That's probably the reason why Priscilla is weak, it's not because she was born weak, she just don't wanna get powerful and gain a harmful power. It's her kindness that makes her remain weak. She's just too kind, too kind to the point that she refuses to become powerful.
