Until death: Chapter 30
Theme: unexpected assistance
Twisting back to check the new male voice, I was met with something unimaginable. It was a squirrel cat. A talking cat. Releasing my guard, I hissed in annoyance and directed my gaze back to the incoming armies. One of the skeletons directed a boulder at me, but I quickly jumped to evade it, then curled my body to avoid another incoming strike.
I heard a painful groan behind me, followed by the hissing sound of the squirrel cat. "As if infesting my solitude wasn't enough, they even have the guts to attack me." The animal complains, and the resentment in its voice is visible.
