It has been prophesied that cats would bring the downfall of the empire. As a measure, decades ago, the Emperor at that time killed them all, rendering the poor creatures extinct. Cillian has only seen them in picture books, yet the one he found recently...doesn't resemble the vicious creatures they were portrayed to be.
There are a few things he's learnt since he found the cat. First of all, if anyone dared touch it, he'll kill them immediately. It's his and his only. Second of all...the cat turns into a human when it sleeps...and it has no idea! That's gonna be his secret for now.
He sat there in the carriage, the cat tucked in his pocket. It was so small it fit perfectly in his palm.
"Do you want some treats?" They just left the clothing shop, the cat seemed confused when he bought some clothes for it, but he couldn't bring himself to say that it's human form...came without clothing.
