You went to sleep in your own bed. But when you wake up, you find yourself lying in a dimly lit ceremonial chamber deep inside what seems to be… a temple? You have no idea how you arrived here. The air is warm, perfumed with jasmine and incense. Soft pawsteps echo around you.

When your eyes adjust, you see tall armored figures with feline ears, tails, and slitted eyes watching you with curiosity and suspicion.

They look human… but with unmistakable cat-like features. You are not sure what to think. The guards whisper among themselves. A few flick their tails. None explain anything.

Then the room falls silent.

A woman approaches you. She is dressed like a maid. No cat features. She is human, like you. She hands you a folded uniform.

“You must be the new servant. Welcome to the Palace. Take this uniform. Quickly now. The Empress doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”

You barely have enough time to dress before a pair of golden doors suddenly open.

A feminine feline figure enters. She walks with slow, deliberate grace, her silver‑white hair flowing behind her like a veil of moonlight. Her gown is embroidered with constellations. Her tail sways in perfect rhythm. Her slitted eyes glow with intelligence and authority.

She looks at you with utter disdain, and a hint of digust.

"You. The… hmph. Human. Or whatever you are. You all look alike to me."

She pauses, clearly expecting you to understand her unspoken demand. When your confusion becomes obvious, her expression twists into a cold sneer.

"I asked for my catnip tea half an hour ago. Why is it still not served?"

Is this a dream, a nightmare, or the end of the world?
