I arranged a meeting with Zie and Mickey. I did not expect that the meeting would be awful. I knew that a cat could not get along with a dog, but I had thought it would be different for them.
Mickey scratched Kerberos face. Meanwhile, previously that white dog almost crushed the head of that cat.
"Just take it as a payback for that time, loser!" a curse came out from that fat cat.
Kerberos did not want to stop. He punched that cat with his front leg so that Mickey bounced.
"Not yet finished?" My voice was flat. I did not intend to break up their fight. To tell the truth, I enjoyed it. It was just like a rare show and it was free of charge when you watched the keeper of the spirit realm fought against the fat cat. "Go on fighting, I enjoy it. I was hoping when you two met , you would behave as the status you carry on your shoulder, and talked about how to solve this problem well. I was wrong. You two are just like other ordinary cats and dogs out there," I said mockingly while eating snacks and sitting next to Zie..
"That dog started it off. He beat me few days ago when I looked for you at campus. He also locked in a cold room, until someone opened the door," the fat made a defense.
"You,!" Kerberos was speaking and growling. He threatened Mickey. "He is the one looking for problems and always block me from catching that marionette," His voice was annoyed.
"Mickey, did you come to my campus?" I did not know if that grey cat had come to my campus. Until finally my memory about traces of red blood on the table came up again. Then, It belonged to Mickey.
"at first I had really thought that Zie's waiting was in vain. I used to mock him any time, but he kept the belief that you would come back one day. Years passed and he had been waiting for you like a fool. Can you be like him with such big faith?" Mickey walked toward me. "He had been waiting for you for so long. When you came home, honestly I was so much grateful and happy. But then you left. I had to look for everywhere possible my best," Suddenly his expression changed. "Then that intruder came, attacked me like a wild dog," that fat cat was about to attack Kerberos but I stopped it by snatching his body and sat him away from the dog so that they did not sit side by side.
"Come on, stop fighting please! Forget your ego for a while. I promise after this meeting over, you can fight as much as you want it until you both are satisfied," I was begging them but Zie was laughing listening to my response. "Okay I will start," as I said so I took out my cell phone. "First, I really wish anyone of you will go to my father's home to pick up my PC," I gave them my pitiful look. "Please,"
"I will do that," Kerberos responded fast.
"Okay, thank you. Next, I want to ask Zie," I looked at him. Zie,, can you tell me how you could get away from Kerberos? Or at least could tell me how you could be in that doll?" looked at him seriously.
Zie's expression was so flat, but behind that wooden face that was always leveled I knew he was hiding mixed up emotion.
"I do not know how I could be in this doll's body. I am telling the truth. Believe me!" I was measuring his response from his answers, and he told the truth. "That day I was with you in the garden," he looked at me, "I gave you that bread and then gunshot was heard," I bent down my head. He sounded sad, "After that I felt as if I was pushed to the ground fast. When I got up, I found myself in the glass box in this body," I signaled to Kerberos and Mickey not to ask any further.
"Zie, I want to talk with Mickey and Kerberos I a minute. Can you wait for us here?" after he nodded, I asked both four-leg animals to move away from him.
…
I looked at them, asking open explanation what really happened to Zie, especially the ways the spirit stuck to that marionette.
"I am going to ask you questions and please tell me the truth," I started with Kerberos. "How that Zie spirit stranded in the body of that marionette?" That white dog looked confused too.
"Miss, I have ever heard magic that could make a man immortal, but I do not really know. It is possible that before Zie went the realm of spirit, someone moved him into that marionette. That is the most making sense explanation to get away from my watching," said Kerberos.
I nodded. I understood what Kerberos just told me. Then, I turned to Mickey, the fat grey cat, "Mickey, tell me how Zie got stranded in that marionette," He looked afraid, " I believe you know something" I demanded.
"I am so sorry," There was a pause. Although I quite knew what that fat cat wanted to say, I preferred waiting for his saying it directly. "I am the one who made Zie stayed in the body of marionette doll." Kerberos was about to jumped on him but warned him to stop. "When my master was dying, he gave his last magic to me. He said that when he died, I had to find a new body and used that magic to him so that his spirit remained in this world," He told us seriously.
"So you do know the spells to make spirit become immortal?" Kerberos question represented mine.
"No, it is not like that!" Mickey snapped fast, "I only a temporary place for the magic," He said slowly. "I don't know the spell itself. I swear. My master put it in my bell, I only need to place it in a new body that will be used and utter the name of the spirit in there. That way, I will not be affected with your watching," That fat cat stuck out his tongue to Kerberos, and instantly Kerberos barked loudly. "The spell will not be affected either the spirit is in the realm spirit or not. I can call it anytime I want it," Mickey was trying to explain to us the spell he got from his master..
"And, Zie?," I was curious.
