"....." Everyone looked at the cat that appeared out of nowhere on top of Legolas's head silently...
"Legolas... this cat... Is it..." Mary was the first to speak asking Legolas while looking at the black cat curiously...
"..." The cat also looked around her observing them silently...
"Yes..." Legolas nodded his head conforming to Mary's thoughts while moved his hand planning to take the cat down, but he caught nothing like usual...
"So fast..." Mary saw how the cat disappeared and appeared on the stone beside Legolas and couldn't help but say with surprise...
Gray and Perona also showed the same surprise... This cat... Really fast... they couldn't even feel when did it jump away...
'This cat...' Only Niala looked at the cat with a confused look as if thinking about something...
"Well... It's not just fast... It's a quite weird cat... But not an enemy... After all, it saved me twice before, so..." Legolas nodded his head to Mary's words and said...
"@%$@" Nagini raised her head and made a low voice while observing the cat not far away...
"Mea..." The cat also looked at Nagini at the same time and an unknown flash flashed in its lilac eyes...
Somehow... Both of them felt something the others can't feel...
Cat and.. a snake...
Cats are genetically hard-wired through instinct to avoid snakes... Seeing Nagini, this cat should at least show some fear or panic...
But again... Both Nagini and the cat weren't normal creatures...
The cat's speed alone showed this...
So the first reaction the two showed was nothing but observing each other with curiosity in their eyes...
"Saved you twice..." While Gray looked at Legolas and showed a thoughtful look...
This cat... Smells like a secret...
"Haaaa... But it looks quite normal somehow" Mary walked to the cat and stretched her hand gently wanting to touch it...
But she felt nothing...
"Oh..." Mary saw this and didn't gave up but moved her hand again to catch the cat that already appeared on the stone next to her...
But... Nothing again...
"Haaa... A slippery are you..." Mary turned her face and looked at their stone not far away from her and said, this time her tone was a little lower...
*RUMBLE*
As she finished her words, she directly turned to lightning and tried to catch it!
*BOOM* *RUMBLE*
"So violent..." Legolas saw Mary destroying many things around while following one black shadow and said...
"Yup..." Gray nodded his head...
"Mea..." The cat reappeared on top of Legolas's head and looked at the golden lightning that already charged toward her...
"....."
*RUMBLE*
But soon the cat disappeared again because the lightning line already passed above Legolas who lowered his body a little to dodge Mary...
And like this, two fast gold and dark shadows kept moving all over the place here and there destroying everything around...
"Damn cat! Stop!" Soon enough Mary stopped moving and looked at the cat that was looking down at her from a higher stone with playful eyes.....
She felt challenged somehow... This cat... was playing with her...
"What are you laughing at!" But suddenly she shifted her eyes at Legolas who was covering his mouth trying not to laugh and asked...
"Well, nothing..." Legolas shocked his shoulders and said nothing... Somehow, he felt funny seeing someone else feeling what he felt before...
At the same time, the cat also appeared on top of his head and sat down calmly watching Mary with proud eyes...
"Well... Calm down, Mary..." Gray looked at Mary who wanted to start again and said...
"Ok..." Mary showed an annoyed look on her face... But still stopped...
"Where did you find this cat again?" Gray looked at Legolas and asked with doubt...
This cat... made many weird things in these few seconds... Many...
"The moment I came back to this world, it found me and started..." Legolas glanced at Niala and said in an elvish language, but suddenly he felt something caught his head...
"Ha?" x5 And everyone here showed a puzzled look for what they saw...
Including Gray who caught Legolas's head...
The Gray that was standing in front of Legolas disappeared as dust leaving one Gray that appeared in the void out of nowhere holding Legolas's head with both hands...
"Mea..." And the cat that was supposed to be in Legolas's head was already standing on top of Gray's head this time looking down at him and Legolas under her...
All this happened in less than a second... As if... the picture changed suddenly...
"@#$%@#" Before Gray reacts, Nagini made the first move with an angry voice, she waved her tail toward the cat trying to remove it from her head...
Seeing Nagini attacking, the cat also disappeared again...
"Well, calm down Nagini..." Gray moved back and said to the pissed-off Nagini...
"@%#$$@" And Nagini kept staring at the cat with dangerous golden eyes...
As if she was saying...*You're not allowed to come here*
What happened here?
Gray was trying to catch the cat... He replaced himself with magic and sneaked behind the cat...
Not only he used the ring invisibility, but magic was also used...
Normally... He should have caught this cat successfully... After all... With his silent movement just now, even Legolas didn't feel him...
But... Yup... This cat actually fooled him and even appeared on top of his head, which directly pissed off Nagini...
Gray felt funny about Nagini's reaction... It was as if she was annoyed that another creature entered her territory?
When did she start treating him as her private area?
After calming Nagini, Gray looked at the cat and showed a funny smile...
Then...
Gray disappeared... And the cat also disappeared...
Legolas and the others looked at the scene in front of them weirdly... Unlike Mary... Gray's hunt was quite calm... Appear here for a second and then disappeared to appear there in the next second...
"..." After trying for some time Gray appeared beside Mary and looked at the cat on top of Legolas's head with an annoyed look...
"How?" Mary asked...
"Pissed off..." Gray said with a... not very nice smile...
Just now, he tried every simple and complex way he could think of, but none of them worked against this cat...
It was as if he was trying to catch nothing... Every time he almost caught this cat, it will disappear in the next moment...
This annoyed him almost made him use time magic for a second...
No wonder Mary was angry... This cat... Was really playing with them...
No wonder Legolas showed that helpless face when he talked about his few days with this cat before...
"You're keeping a suspicious cat, Legolas..." In the end, Gray didn't try to catch the cat again and said...
"I'm not really keeping her, she followed me by herself... Besides... I don't think she's as suspicious as what you're keeping here" Legolas really didn't keep this weird cat, so he said this and then pointed at Niala who was watching them from the beginning from the side with a weird smile as if she was watching a funny show...
"Well... You got a point about this..." Gray nodded his head agreeing to what Legolas said... The cat was still a cat after all...
"Haa? Me?... And don't compare me with a cat." Niala saw Legolas talking about her suddenly and said with dead fish eyes...
"....."
....

...
Gray sat on a stone not far away from the others and took the orb ready to try and take a look at Baccarat and Tauriel's location...
Legolas was found, the situation was clear, and he doesn't really need to rest for now...
So there is no need to stay in their place anymore...
As for the weird cat...
He ignored that unusual cat for the time being...
Though he doesn't like this fact... But that cat was really uncatchable for now...
For a cat to awaken such weird speed, Gray wasn't so surprised... After all, he almost became an insect lunch when he entered the underground crystal world before...
If a simple bug can turn into a monster... Can't cat became stronger?
And the fact that this cat saved Legolas twice allowed him to somehow accept this cat... So Gray simply let Legolas deal with it...
But Gray knew very well that this cat has a problem.. Not a simple awakened cat with fast speed...
Not only him... Nagini felt it clearer than him... How weird this cat was... For Nagini, this cat wasn't a cat anymore...
So Gray started thinking about how to deal with this cat...
But soon he forced to clear his mind and ignore this and focused on the orb in front of him...
As Mary said before... They really moved a very long distance already...
So maybe Baccarat and Tauriel were not so far away... If he could take a clear look where they are right now, maybe he can directly jump to their side...
While doing this, Gray also took the only small last piece of luck paper he has... Since he's gonna see Baccarat soon, he doesn't need to save it anymore... Anyway, this little luck wasn't enough for him to force anything to work as he wants... But something... Better than nothing...
So he directly destroyed the last little piece of his own paper...
And with such thoughts, Gray started focusing on the orb...
While Perona and Niala on the side also started their turn trying to catch a certain cat...
