[Nefertiti's POV]
"Hooman! What are you doing, nya?"
"Sorry, Nefertiti! Just wait here."
Hooman carried meow and put meow on the ground!
Hooman always busy.
Hooman and 'Stupid Hooman' always talking about something and hit other strange hoomans, then go do strange things and talk with a strange big ghost.
[A/N: Stupid Hooman = Jullanar]
Ghost is too scary! Looks like deer then looks like hooman. Strange!
Hooman always like strange things!
Hooman rides bad fire horse. Bad fire horse runs too fast. It makes meow wannya sleep but cannyat sleep.
But my Hooman is fine! He cares in the end about meow so much.
But why is he playing with a strange stick! Hoomans like to hit each other with many strange sticks. Meow need nya sticks! Meow has powerful paws and wonderful claws.
Poor hoomans have nya paws or claws
I am still angry with Hooman tho. He still didnyat say sorry and give me fish.
I'll wait! He will come to meow in the end when he wannya cuddles.
No fish, no cuddles!
Hmmm! What is that!
Butterfly! Hooman likes butterflies. I catch one for Hooman, he will leave 'Stupid Hooman'!
Here I go!
I jump after butterfly but it was far! I fell nya!
'Stupid Hooman' nyat see meow? Good!
Hooman says meows are good hunters! I should be like others meows and hunt butterfly for Hooman!
Nya, I donyat care about Hooman, I just wannya to hunt like meows.
I run after butterfly! Again! Again! Again nya!
Annoying butterfly! Don't fly away from meow!
Nyaa! I will just go back to Hooman nya!

Where is Hooman?
"Hooman!"
"Hooman!"
Has Hooman got lost?
Nyaa! Clumsy Hooman.
"Wooooo!"
"Woooo!"
Whaa!

"Dogo?"
"Dogo! Get away from meow! Meow is strong!"
Stupid dogos always believe meow and run away!
"Grrr! Too little! Smell tasty!"
"Huh! Go away dogo, or else! Meow gets angry, Hooman gets angry too!"
Dogo is still acting strong!
"Grrr! Will eat you!"
Wha!
Dogos are stupid but not bad! This one is bad dogo! Very bad!
Wait!
Hooman said that there are bad dogos and bad meows!
He said bad dogos are called Ulfs.
"Are you Ulf nya?"
"Grrgrrgrr! Tasty!"

Hooman said, when seeing ulfs, run on trees.
Wawawawa where are trees?
Nya trees! Nyat at all!

"Grrr! Don't run! Come, eat meat!"
Ulf runs after me! Wawawa! Scary!

"Grrr! Annoying!"
Whaa! It worked, stupid ulf fell on his face. Nyahaha!
"Grrr! Will kill you!"
"Grrr! Me want meat too."

"Nya! Meow donyat wannya!"

Why two ulfs?
Ah, tree!
Go to the tree!
"ROOOOAR!"
Staaaaap!
"Ulfs! Bad tree, we run this way!"
"Grrr! Catch meat!"
They are stupid! Even 'Stupid Hooman' is not that stupid.
I ran left, right, left and ulf fell for it again.
Too stupid!
I just need to...
... Oh nya!
"Grrr! End of the run meat!"
The way to run is nya more, only a cliff.
Meow turned around but more other ulfs came!
Oh nya! Too many ulfs nya!
What to do?
"Grrr! Meat!"
"Bite. Grrr! Bite!"
"Grrr! Small meat, smells tasty!"
Nya! Meow has to run up on the cliff!
Run! Climb rocks.
"Stop meat! Grrr!"
Ulfs jump after meow! Ulfs tried to bite meow!
"Move! I eat meat! Grrr!"
Nya! Big ulf! Big bad ulf is here!
Why is there big bad ulf?
Big ulf is bad!
Big ulf can climb!
Nyaa!
Need to hurry!
Almost there!
"Grrr! Got you!"
Meow can feel big ulf behind meow!
Nya! Big teeth!
Jump!
"Grrr! Annoying! Come meat!"
Safe! Meow is safe.
Meow climbs a high rock, big ulf cannyat climb.
"Grrr! Get down meat!"
"Nya! Go away!"
"Grrr! I come to eat you, meat!"
Big bad ulf is jumping!
Nyah!
Big bad ulf can jump high but it nyat reach meow.
"Grrr! Annoying!"
"Nyaaaa!"
Big bad ulf jumps again but hit the rock and get down.
*creek*
Huh!
What is that?
Another rock moving?
Ulf jumps and rock shakes...
If rock moves and falls down, big bad ulf dies.
Yes! That's it!
Hooman would do it like that!
Meow smart!
Like Hooman, like meow!
Meow run and push rock with paws!
Nya! Too big!
Big bad ulf should jump!
"Stupid ulf! Come to meow!"
"Grrr!"
It doesnyat jump!
Must make it jump again.
What would Hooman do?
Yes! Hooman makes ulf angry.
He would say bad things to make others angry.
Hmmm!
"Big ulf! Your mama should be a mammoth to be this slow!"
"Grrr! Annoying!"
Ulf jumps again!
*creek*
"Your mama should be skeever to be this ugly!"
"Grrr! Kill you! Mama is a wooolf!"
*creek*
"Sure! Your mama must be ulf with small legs, nyahaha! You can't even jump on the rock like your mama!"
"Grrr! Annoying meat!"
Ulf too angry!
Ulf jumps again and again.
*creek* *creek* *CreEK*
It is moving.
On ulf!
"Grrr! Meat co... woon Gaaaarrr!"
Rock fall on big bad ulf!
Too much blood!
Rock fall down! Other ulfs run away.
Big bad ulf is too injured.
"Woon, woon, woon... mea...t!"
Ulf died.
Meow win!
Waaah!
So scary!
"Donyat wannya run anyamore!"
Hooman should just find me!
{Glory to the hound! The friend of the hunter! Even for the trappers, there is a thrill, only few can taste.}
"NYAAAAA!"
Why? Big bad ulf is beside me...
Nya, that's nyot big bad ulf!
"You are the ghost who speaks to Hooman?"
{It's I, and you are nothing but the hound that follows the hunter, Black One.}
"The hunter! You mean Hooman? And meow is nyat dogo."
{There is no argument! But the hunter and his hound are bound by fate. The stronger they grow, the mightier they become. No hunter of mine shall go without the hound! No matter what form that hound takes. Either within the hunter as the shifters or as his trusty beast. The fates of the hunter and the hound are entwined and sealed. They live together and perish together.}
"Meow don't understand!"
{It is of no matter to me either you understand it or not, Black One! Know that the hunter you follow favors no beast but you, and you should not be worthy of a mighty hunter like that. But strangely enough, you are!}
What is that ghost ulf saying?
{The fate of the 'Eldest One' is guiding that hunter to a glorious hunt that I can't foresee. That's why I wish to witness the glory of the hunt that's yet to come! But that hunter can never be my champion! He can't be anyone's champion as he is the already the champion of the 'Eldest One'. Thus, you Black One, the hound, shall be my champion.}
"Nya! Leave meow alone!"
The ghost ulf walks near meow! Meow goes back but light comes out of ghost ulf.
This is...
I know that.
The ring Hooman gave to the ghost man.
{It is a loss but a cheap price to pay! Another one shall be made but this one is for you, my champion.}
The ring flies up and shakes. It breaks! Why break the ring?
Woah! Another light?
Why too much big light?
"Nya! Get away light? Don't come near meow!"
{It is done! Good luck in the coming hunt, Black One! Bring glory to my name, Champion!}
Light goes in meow! Why? Scary!
Go out!
Ghost ulf is coming this way!
Huh!
Waaah! I am falling!
"Wawawawawa!"
I canyat stop sliding all the way down again.
No! Many ulfs are there
Ouch!
I fell!
Meow hurt!
Meow…
Meow is...
Meow is sad!
Meow is alone!
Ulfs! Ulfs are coming!
Nya! I canyat climb again.
Meow... meow is weak!
Meow needs Hooman!
No!
Hooman can't come.
Hooman is fighting big roar.
'Stupid Hooman' can't come too.
She is with Hooman.
Meow is...
Meow is angry!
Meow is angry at meow.
Meow is weak!
Why meow is weak?
Meow wannya to be with Hooman.
Meow wannya to say sorry for ignoring Hooman.
Meow has a lot to say!
This canyat be the end.
Meow is...
Meow is so angry.
Huh!
Ulfs are...
Ulfs are getting smaller?
Yes! This meow is angry now so ulfs become smaller.
Ulfs are scared!
Come ulfs!
Meow hunt rats! Ulfs are small like rats.
Come!
Come!
Nyahaha!
"MAAAAAAAAOW!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Jon's POV]
"MAAAAAAAAOW!!!"
What is...
What was that?
That was so loud!
It is a cat growl!
I am sure it is but...
But it is too loud, and it's echoing so much.
It felt like the warning roar of an angry elephant.
"Jull! Was that my imagination just now or did you hear that too?"
"I, I, I w, w, was just ab, about to ask, k, k you the same."
"Hey! Are you alright?"
Jull was shaking! She must be afraid of the growl just now.
"Roar!"
This annoying bear is still alive?
I have beaten Oblivion out of it but it is still not dying.
"Get back Jull! I am going all out here!"
I dispelled the 'Bound Spear' I was carrying from the start of the fight and evoked 'Thunder Cookie' on both hands.
"Wraitmen! Distract it!"
I ordered the undead I conjured earlier to distract the gigantic bear and the started attacking it from the sides.
The bear got annoyed as it knew I was the one commanding the undead and it came at me with its right paw.
"Don't underestimate me, Fur Ball!"
I punched full force at its right paw with my right hand.
'Thunder Cookie' on my right landed on its paw and destroyed its claws and shattered some bones from the inside. It did get blown away as I hoped!
Tough bastard!
The bear retreated backward and roared at me once more!
I was waiting for that moment! With my speed that was buffed by 'Empower' and 'Hasten', I reached its location in a blink and punched the other 'Thunder Cookie' in my left at its lower jaw.
*crack*
The jaw cracked and the bear staggered the fell down dead.
"Finally!"
Damn, that was hard!
"Jull, hurry up!"
She was sitting on her butt and looked a bit pale.
I casted 'Calm' on her!
"Better?"
"Yes, thank you."
"Hurry up! Let's look for Nefertiti and get the hell out of here!'
"Yes!"
"Spread out!" I commanded the undead to look for Nefertiti and investigate what the hell was that beast that growled just now.
I used 'Scan' to the limit and covered all the glade.
"Found her!"
I ran like mad.
The place she was in was near to the ancient structure. I ran and ran and wished for more legs so I can run faster.
Just as I reached there, the scene shocked me!
Wolves! Over twenty! A pack of them! All dead! Cut to shreds and bitten their guts out.
A horrific fight... No! A one-sided massacre.
"What on Nirn happened here?" Jull was shocked.
"Nefertiti! Where are you?"
I ran to where I could detect her.
There she is!
Lying on the ground!
She was slightly wounded but she was breathing thank heaven.
I crouched down but didn't dare to carry her. She may have a broken bone or anything.
My head worked on its own and started casting 'Heal' on her. I put my maximum effort on healing her as her wounds healed at a visible rate.
There were many blood stains on her mouth and paws but it seemed it isn't her blood.
How in Oblivion did this happen?
I finished the healing and carried her in my arm.
She then woke up!
"Are you alright, Nefertiti?"
"Hooman! Sorry! Donyat leave meow again." She said and went to sleep again.
What happened to her?
I don't understand.
"Jon!"
"Yes, Jull! what is it?"
"Did she… Did she just talk?"
Huh?
