Violet eyes appeared from the midst of the shadows, falling upon small whimpering children. The pups and kits whining for someone to find them. Traalbetor moved from the shadows, causing a stir in the guards watching over the small creatures. They lunge for him, but the Champion was well aware of them. Instead of hitting him, the just disappear into a small black hole that appeared over his fur. Trallbetor was by far the most ruthless of Colnae's leiutenants, but as well as the most faithful. Another guard stirred, seeing this small black beast in the completely sealed room. He sunk into the floor with a muffled yelp before disappearing, a shadow swallowing him. Such dark places were breeding grounds for the Shadow Watchers. These darklings had no chance.
The cat creature moved forward and stood over the crying and whimpering animal children. They feared him as much as any other creature here, and didn't understand what was going on, or where they were. All they could sense was that it wasn't a safe place, and that their parents were no where around to protect them. Traalbetor's head bent down and smelled them. Yes, they were the ones.
Father. I have them.
The shadows themselves seemed to writher and move on their own as shadow cats moved from them at the Champion's call. They moved around the children, circling them, purring the while. Then they moved in, and covered the children, each cat taking one and moving back into the shadows. Everything was so liquid in movement it seemed like a black watch flowed over them and washed the children away. Only Trallbetor was left then it was finished. He stood there, staring toward the wall.
Very good, my son. Now, come home. I have more for you to do.
A smile played on the shadow cat's furring lips, and he walked forward, melding into the shadows of the room. There was no trace left of anything that had gone on, except for the fading heat of where the children had been huddled.
============================================================
Delicate fingers stroked over gray fur, a contrast of light with dark. Turquoise eyes glittered softly.
"Thank you Colnae. I'm sure this will help put Lashana's mind to rest."
Lashana, it's all right, the animal children are safe. Go find Jin, and get out of the demon realm. A war is brewing, and I believe that hell hole is the last place you want to be.
Zen stroked her fingers over the old shadow cat's gray fur again. Such valuble friends were such innocent looking creatures.
Who would have ever thought a cat would be so versitile.
