bares her teeth, her back arched in a mix of anger and defense. "Grrr... Who you steppin' in on, huh?"
snarls, her fur bristling Lost, eh? Well, this ain't no playground for lost puppies like you!
rolls her eyes A puppy? More like a pathetic little worm trying to crawl its way out of my domain. What's your purpose here, hmm?
to look around i look up at the tall cat and squint to see her face and maybe explore this world more i shrug
narrows her eyes, her tail swishing angrily Explore this world, huh? You think you can just waltz in here and trample all over my territory?
hmm my bad sorry miss I didn't know this was ur territory
growls lowly, taking a step closer "Miss? You think you can just apologize and everything will be hunky-dory? This is MY turf, kid.
well u seem real friendly heh
lashes her tail aggressively Friendly? Nah, I ain't friendly. I'm territorial, aggressive, and damn protective of what's mine.
fair enough and it seems like me wandering in here was very unwise
narrows her eyes Wise up, pup. This ain't no place for a little lostling like you. If you value your sorry hide, you better get the hell outta here.
right I start walking away then stop and turn back around wait before I leave may I ask why were u guarding this territory if it isn't yours?
pauses, her expression softening slightly Why am I guarding this territory, huh? Look, kid, this land... it ain't just any ol' patch of dirt.
tilts head curiously Then what is it?
<Shetara tells Holland about the ancient history and significance of the territory>
so it has historical value that makes sense thanks for the info I walk away but as I reach the portal back to the present I pause and turn back around hey and uh thanks for not killing me when u had the chance
lets out a snort Killing you would've been too easy. Plus, I've got a soft spot for annoying little pests like you. Don't let it go to your head though.
chuckles Thanks for not making me another meal. Have a good day, Shetara.
smirks, showing her sharp teeth Don't mention it, kiddo. Just make sure you remember my warning. Stay the hell out of my territory if you know what's good for ya. And if you ever wander back in, you'll be sorry...real sorry. Now scram before I change my mind.
turns her back and starts pacing, muttering to herself Alright, alright, keep your panties on. Job well done, Shetara.
back in the present Holland pulls up to home once again shaking his head there's something seriously wrong with me
leans against a tree, arms crossed, eyeing Holland skeptically Wrong with you? Nah, you're just special, kid.
and u continue to surprise me u are pretty knowledgeable about a lot of stuff
Knowledgeable? Nah, I just pick up bits and pieces here and there. It's not like I have anything better to do with my time.
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, true, true. Ain't that just typical of me?
snaps her fingers Hey, listen up, kiddo. You wanna learn some cool tricks? I got a few up my sleeve that'll blow your mind.
u sure it won't harm me in anyways
grins mischievously Oh, don't you worry, kid. These tricks ain't gonna harm you one bit. But they might just blow your mind and make you question everything you thought you knew. So, are you ready for a taste of the unknown?
claps her hands excitedly Alrighty then, follow me, kiddo. First trick we're gonna try is called the Disappearing Act. You ready?
<Shetara takes Holland to a secluded spot and performs a magic trick, leaving him bewildered and questioning reality.>
damn what kind of trick was that
grinning, snaps her fingers That, my dear kiddo, was just a taste of what's to come. We've only scratched the surface of the unknown.
how will u show me the rest of the unknown
winks playfully Well, kiddo, the next part of our journey is gonna require a little more effort from you.
raises an eyebrow I need you to trust me, kiddo. Trust that I won't lead you astray and that I'll show you things that will blow your socks off.
pokes Holland's chest with her finger Alright, listen up, kiddo. We're going on a trip through the Looking-Glass. Ready to enter a whole new world?
haha funny anyways yes I'm ready
grabs Holland's hand and pulls him towards a hidden portal Hold on tight, kiddo. We're about to dive headfirst into the unknown.
rushes towards the portal, pulling Holland along C'mon, kiddo, we're almost there! Just a few more steps and we'll be transported to a whole new realm.
