Mao Mao ignored the fairy’s attempts to start conversation, only focusing on the path ahead and being on the lookout for said “purple blooms”. Like everything with everything that had come out of her mouth so far, the sheriff was suspicious of it being a lie, but it was clear she needed him to stay alive in such a dangerous forest.
“Stay close now, will you? These parts of the world aren’t meant to be traversed without a flying vehicle, and I don’t want you to get eaten by some giant bullfrog.”
They were lucky to not encounter any hungry beasts as their journey continued, but said purple flowers were nowhere to be seen, much to Feli’s dismay.
When the talkative fairy eventually encountered the lillies Mao Mao let out a sigh of relief.
“If your little tale is right then we’re already in the right path, aren’t we? Let’s just keep going.”
Mao Mao took a step, but inmediately stopped right in his tracks. Without hesitation he snatched Feli from the air and pulled her close to his face, covering her mouth with his thumb to keep her from making any more noises.
“(There are monsters ahead, we need to find another path and not make noise!)”
He let the fairy go and looked around, there was no other direction they could take, except from a nearby cave, but it’s entrance was blocked by two large dead trees. If only Geraldine was in one piece he could slice his way inside…what could they do?
“I’m sure that I can reason with a couple of frogs, I mean, they only think of grass and flies, but sometimes they’ll thi-” As her reasoning was cut short, the fairy started to struggle in Mao Mao’s hand, who was he to grab her in such manner! Why she would turn him into a pile of ashes or maybe a rotten wood trunk to make up this offense; but she would apologize later for it… Later.
Feli would fall through his gloves again, shaking a little with anger as she drew in the air with a gasp to shout at the black cat, but was quickly shushed by a leather smelling thumb. Her wings deflated a little. “Monsters? That’s the last of our… Worries…” The fairy wondered how many more times would she be left speechless.
It was bright blue with spikes prodding its body, a horrid odor that almost her faint in the spot. Feli gulped softly, sometimes even she forgot how small could she be. She looked at her current options which at this point were quite slim.
Her kind was secretive, sometimes relying on glamour spells to hide into the form of flowers or even their animal friends. But that would leave Mao Mao unprotected as well.
She glanced at the blocked passage to the cave in the corner of her eye, beginning to settle a plan. “Hold me…” She whispered, scrambling to press herself against Mao’s furry chest.
She took a deep breath, her antennae starting to shake a little. Surprisingly being by the cat was comfort. A dim luminosity started to cover them both. “I want you to run to the trees… NOW!!”
Feli shouted, holding on tightly to Mao’s fur. “Don’t question it, do it!” The beast that had been lingering turned his head towards the duo.
