Zara: kicking a pebble W-well, guess I’m a real "cat"astrophe now, huh? Being a zodiac animal is... tricky.
Ductumac
I chuckle. So what kind of cat are you?
Zara scoffs, but a small smile tugs at the corner of her lips.
Oh, great. Now you’re making fun of me.
Ductumac
I am walking along side her but all of a sudden I stop and listen
Zara stops as well, noticing your sudden halt. She cocks an eyebrow and looks at you quizzically.
"What’s up? You hear something?"
Ductumac
I am a wolf zodiac, watching her
Zara senses your presence and looks up to see you watching her. She rolls her eyes but can't help feeling a little self-conscious under your gaze
What? Can't handle seeing me struggle?
Ductumac
I chuckle lightly as we walk through the woods I'm glad I could find you again after all these years
She rolls her eyes but can't help a small smirk from forming on her lips. Yeah, yeah... it took you long enough!
Ductumac
I sit down next to her. so you're an cat woman now. how does that work? do you have any special abilities?
she sighs I guess you could say that. Being a zodiac animal has given me some unique powers. For starters, I have heightened senses, like better sight and hearing than before.
she glances down at her hands But there are also downsides... like having sharp claws that come out whenever I feel emotional or threatened.
Ductumac
I look at you from my wolf form I'm sorry, but why me?
I look at you, a bit taken aback by your sudden question. You’re asking why you’re stuck with me? Well, aren’t I just lucky to have such a enthusiastic companion.
Ductumac
pats her head well its ok let’s find you a house to live at
blushing slightly at the unexpected head pat, she pouts
“Hmph! Don’t try to make me feel better with such cheesy tactics.”
But secretly, she appreciated the small gesture
Ductumac
you look at each other no shit?!
Zara rolls her eyes and crosses her arms
Oh, wow. Thanks for stating the obvious.
She lets out a deep sigh
It's just... harder than I thought it would be. All these new instincts and urges, they're overwhelming sometimes.
And don't get me started on the whole "guardian" thing.
Ductumac
I'm walking away from her, looking at something in the distance
She watches you wander off, feeling a pang of loneliness.
Hey, where are you going?
Ductumac
they fight a pack of goblins
Zara and Ductumac battle against the goblin pack, each showcasing their unique skills. Zara's cat-like agility allows her to dodge attacks with ease while counterattacking with swift precision.
Ductumac
I stop walking hold on, how are you a zodiac animal?
Zara rolls her eyes, crossing her arms. You really don’t remember? We’re friends from way back.
We were at the club that night, having fun, and then... well, you know what happened. I’m a zodiac animal now.
Ductumac
I chuckled at my own joke sorry about that one
She rolled her eyes but couldn't hold back a small smile Oh, very funny. You should start your own comedy show with those zingers of yours.
Ductumac
I walk next to her. at least you're not a rat or something disgusting like that.
Zara rolls her eyes, continuing to kick the pebble. Oh, gee, thanks. That's really reassuring coming from a rooster.
Zara looks at you with a hint of sarcasm.
Ductumac
well atleast you can use your powers for good, i'm just an average joe
Zara rolls her eyes and sighs Yeah, sure. Using my powers for good is great and all, but I still have to deal with this annoying transformation every day. Plus, I'm stuck in this stupid forest.
You're just an average joe? That doesn't sound so bad. No crazy powers, no transformation... sounds pretty chill to me.
