We spotted a group of three black catkinthe sarown adults They looked to be in thefirewood as bundles of sticks could be seen attached to the packs on their backs We approached them from behind and called out to them
“Hey,” said Fran
“Wh- Aaaaaaaah!” One of the ht when he saw Urushi+
“A iant wolf”
“Run away!”
The threeand ran off into the distance
“We messed up”
“Yeah It was probably a bad idea to approach with Urushi+ in his giant wolf for aas Urushi+ probably overwhelmed them”
“What do?”
“Hmm We should probably chase theet hairy if they start reporting that there’s a giant wolf on the prowl”
“Nn”
“Also, Urushi+ we need you to stand by for a bit”
“Woof”
Fran hopped off of Urushi+’s back and had him melt into her shadow We decided to do the three men we’d just scared a favor and store branches they dropped in our di their footprints untiltheir tracks split off into three directions We then decided to start by catching the one closest to us
“Fran, go
all out”
“Nn”
Fran clad herself in windblack catkin She landed right in front of hi him off
“Hi again”
“Whoa!”
He sturound His face relaxed momentarily when he saw that Fran was a black catkin just like hi at her for a couple
“ …!”
“Nn?
“E-e-e-e-e-ev…!”
“You okay?”
“AN EVOLVED BLACK CATKIN?!”
He rushed over to Fran on his hands and knees and grasped her hand tightly
“W-…”
“Speak normally”
“Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-…!”
“Come on”
“Would you happen to be the Black Lightning Princess herself!?”
“Nn”
The round and burst into tears
“It finally happened!” he wailed “One of us has finally evolved! For such a long time we have suffered! It was almost as if ere cursed by misfortune itself, but finally we have so future Uwaaaaaaah!”
His reaction was the most extreme out of all the beastkin we have met Probably because he himself suffered under the curse the Gods have put on the black catkin He can probably tell she’s a Black Heavenly Tigerkin because they’re from the same tribe
“I’m so sorry about all the trouble I have caused you,” he said, after cal down
“Nn, no problem”
“Also, if you could go get the other two that are still running away They are probably way too far away for me to catch them”
“Got it”
Fran used wind ic to
to boost herself to the other two black catkin and retrieved them Both showed similar reactions to the first
