Chapter 198: Myth Council (1/2)
”…crap,” Rakna muttered.
”{I go away for a mere fourteen days,}” Fray suddenly spoke while the therian was still blinking at the window in front of him. ”{And upon my return, you, sir, have become a True Emperor certified by the System and invited to the Myth Council while the Dusk Lioness just resurrected… That is a feat both grotesquely astonishing and absurd. You've outdone yourself on this one.}”
”Oh, hello, Fray. And well… I will be honest, the thought that the last two weeks had been a bit too calm crossed my mind for a second or two,” Rakna jested and moved the window to the side to see past it where the death energy and dust were settling.
When it was completely clear, he expected to see… well, he didn't know what exactly but what he was not awaiting was an empty spot. There was no one amidst the shattered and minced pieces of mint.
He scowled and then heard something a dozen meters away. He turned to the source and spotted a black cat with red eyes munching on a glazed apple whilst holding it between her claws. The cat squinted her red eyes at Rakna but didn't stop eating.
”Youmf dim it amgaim,” the animal said between bites.
”What?”
She swallowed and repeated, ”You did it again.”
Rakna raised an eyebrow with a blank look. ”One; don't speak with your mouth full. Two; what is your current state? Three; is it normal that you're small? And four; this Emperor… stuff is not my fault. Whatever it is, it happened because I turned you into an undead. Take the blame.”
”Pff! Sure, I'll take the blame for your good luck. How was I supposed to know that necromancing me would do this? It's not like it happened before,” Higure retorted and sliced a piece of chocolate from a nearby rock with her claws and tossed it into her mouth.
”We had two weeks of peace…” Allan grumbled from the side.
”Right; ignoring this seemingly very important System Missive,” Flavia commented sarcastically and walked to Higure. ”So… to be sure, is this really you? Higure?”
”Indeed, lovely lady,” the lioness grinned back. ”You are finally able to see me in the flesh. While it is something I never expected to happen any soon, here we are. I'm just sorry that I can't take my human form at the moment.”
”You have a human form?” She asked curiously.
”But of course! You can ask my devourer, he got a good taste of it,” Higure replied impishly with a grin and the girls instantly looked at Rakna.
He rolled his eyes in return and flash-stepped to her. He grabbed her by the neck and she let out a saddened yelp as she dropped her sweets. He lifted her to eye level and they deadpanned at each other.
”Don't say such misleading stuff, horny cat. Answer the questions.”
”Bzzz! Killjoy! I need my sugar after all this time spent watching you eat all sorts of meals without being able to taste them at all.”
”Why would you specifically need sugar…” Rakna mumbled and cast Appraisal on her.

Note: A mighty member of the Dusk Lion race. She lived in seclusion in the 750th Plateau like many of her brethren before her. She was murdered while weakened due to her birth by Asziquol Naberum Verias. Her life before then had been quiet and peaceful; omitted the few scuffles with the Dawn Tigers.
⠀
Additional Note: As an undead raised by the Hex Item, Necromancer's Rule, it can level up like normal creatures and it also can be healed with its master's mana, which will automatically be converted into Death Energy by the Hex Item.
