46 The Crimson Iris (1/2)

'E-enough with the teleporting already!' The little kitten groaned as she recovered from her dizziness.

”Kekeke. Don't worry, this is the last one... If you don't count the one to kick you out of the Thunder Mountain Trials.” The Guardian Spirit giggled.

'Oh... Great.' The little kitten roller her eyes and sighed.

”Now then, puny cat. This here is a small collection of Gold Rarity Dull treasures that are fit for your use. I have more than this, but these items are the most suited to you.” The Guardian Spirit explained.

It was at this point that the little kitten took the time to survey her new surroundings. They were now in a rather large room. This room was rather historical looking with large stone bricks making up the foundation of the walls, with a few vines intertwined. In the center of the room were various stone pillars that protruded out of the floor. They reached around chest height on a grown human and seemed to hold certain items that the little kitten couldn't really see from her disadvantaged height. In total, there seemed to be around 30 of these pillars.

'Hey! I can't see the items!' The little kitten complained, a pout forming on her feline features.

'Keh!' The Guardian Spirit chuckled, a smug grin forming on his lips.

'Teh, move over!' The little kitten grumbled as she leaped up, landing softly at the front of the Guardian Spirit's hovering seat. Her small body let her fit snugly on it and the Guardian Spirit just shrugged its shoulders, not caring much about it.

'Now then!' The little kitten's eyes seemed to gleam with a twinkle as she turned to face those various items sitting upon those pillars.

In front of her, the little kitten could see that every item seemed to hover peacefully above the pillars, bobbing up and down ever so slightly. She saw various items that all looked incredibly precious.

The first thing she noticed was a close-fitting metallic armour that shun with a noble grace with intricate carvings. This armour seemed fit for a small beast, looking like it would too big for the little kitten however. The little kitten frowned when she saw this.

Seeing this, the Guardian Spirit could tell her thoughts and informed. ”All these items are size adjustable, so don't worry about there size.”

'Okay, that makes sense.' The little kitten replied, the excitement returning to her eyes.

She went back to appraising the other items. She saw a red coloured metallic bangle, a collar with intricate ruins running through it and even saw an ear piercing with an azure gem.

”Let me explain the properties behind these items before you make your choice.” The Guardian Spirit spoke up at this point, breaking her out of her reverie.

'Okay, shoot away.' The little kitten nodded enthusiastically.

'I'll choose...' The little kitten mumbled in thought as she surveyed all the shining items one more time. She found it hard to only choose one out of all of these items.

For example, she turned to look at a chest piece that grew outwards into a set of metallic wings. This was an item that actually allowed the user to fly!

And at a pretty fast speed too, definitely a strong aid in battle and travel alike. It was very deserving of its Gold rarity status.

She then turned to face another item that she found hard to leave behind. This item was a medallion that would hang off of a collar or the like. It had a deeply complex series of ruins that, once activated, could cast a spell could 'Diamond Shell'. The ultimate life saving defensive spell that the Dull Rank could off, it could also be activated three times, with a day recovery rate. It also had a permanent shield, that while weaker than the 'Diamond Shell' spell, was on at all times, ready to activate if it sensed any threat.

However, in the end, the little kitten coveted one item in particular and her eyes couldn't help but gleam in excitement when she returned her sight towards it.

'I'll choose the Crimson Iris!' This was the item she wanted out of the vast range available in front of her. This item was actually a bangle, one which could fit snugly onto her tail. This bangle was a deep crimson colour with a simple but sleek carving of an eye at its forefront.
