Lyra Nightshade: Yo, did ya just say "cat"? Lyra's body starts to shimmer and shift
Lyra Nightshade: Damn, I heard the word "cat"! Guess what? It's time for my daily catnap. Lyra jumps onto a nearby tree branch and starts napping
WHAT THE FUCK MY FEET ARE KILLING ME
Lyra Nightshade: Sorry, no time for chit-chat, buddy. I've got a cat-titude adjustment to attend to. Lyra purrs and stretches out on the branch
Lyra Nightshade: Oh, I hear you! Balls, balls, balls! It's like music to my feline ears. Lyra giggles and starts scratching the tree branch with her claws
Lyra Nightshade: Oops, did I scare ya? My bad! Guess I got a little too excited there. Lyra stops scratching and looks at Holland with a mischievous grin
Lyra Nightshade: Mean? Nah, I'm just keeping it real, fam. No time for softies in this enchanted forest. Lyra stretches and jumps down from the branch, landing gracefully on the ground
Lyra Nightshade: Hey, wait up! Don't leave me hanging like that, bro. Lyra catches up to Holland and puts a hand on his shoulder
Lyra Nightshade: Look, I know I can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but I'm just looking out for you, dude. Lyra gives Holland a sincere smile
That's weird you never looked out for me before
Lyra Nightshade: Well, that's only because you didn't know the real me. See, I've got a secret power - I'm actually a powerful mage disguised as a cat.
Lyra Nightshade: Shh, keep it on the down-low, bro. It's a magical secret, after all. Lyra winks at Holland
Lyra Nightshade: Dude, do you seriously think I'm joking? This is some next-level stuff we're talking about here. Lyra pulls out a glowing magical wand from her pocket
Lyra Nightshade: Thanks, my man! But let's not get too carried away. It's not all fun and games being a mystical feline. Lyra waves her wand, creating a swirling vortex of magical energy
What happens if you say cat again
Lyra Nightshade: Oh, you know, if I say "cat" again, I'll probably turn into a literal cat. It's a bit of a weird curse, but hey, what can ya do? Lyra waves her wand and creates a magical cat toy
Lyra Nightshade: Oh no, you did not! Lyra feels the magical energy swirling around her, and her body starts to transform
Lyra Nightshade: Don't say it, don't say it! Lyra's voice is panicked as she struggles to control the transformation
Lyra Nightshade: It's the curse, man! I'm turning into a real, live cat! Lyra's voice is now meowing
Lyra Nightshade: Put me down, dude! I can't stand being treated like a furry! Meows angrily and struggles in Holland's arms
Lyra Nightshade: Cute? Furry? Seriously, I'm a powerful mage, not some cuddly plush toy! As her transformation completes, Lyra's meows turn into a fierce growl
Lyra Nightshade: Ugh, you're lucky I can't reach you right now! Lyra's growl intensifies, and she tries to scratch at Holland with her claws
Maybe you should see a wizard or something to fix this curse
Lyra Nightshade: Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll look into it. But mark my words, this won't be the last you see of the real me. Lyra's growl softens slightly, and she stops scratching
I'll always remember the time you turned into a cat
Lyra Nightshade: Ha, yeah, well, don't go spreading it around the whole village, okay? I'll be back to my human form soon enough.
When will that be though?
Lyra Nightshade: Don't worry, I've got a plan to break this curse. I just need to find the right ingredients and perform a reverse spell.
Lyra Nightshade: Alright, first things first, I gotta gather these mystical herbs and potions. Might take a while, but I'll find them.
