I knew I was dreaming now, there was no way this scenario could be real. What I wanted to know however is how this little trickester came into my dream?
Shadow started to laugh, his laughter somehow cut through my anger a bit. I was still really angry but at the same time I felt... what was it that I felt?
"We have the ability to walk through dreams, it's not something we are practically known for though. At least not amongst Hellcats. As for why I'm here though well I thought we could talk privately without my dear mom listening in. She means well and all but you know how moms are." He rolled his eyes in conspiracy but all I could think about was why my feelings were being affected.
"Are you doing something else to me besides walking my dream?" I finally asked. My mood was steadily changing again to what I had felt when I first saw him playing with the other cubs. It's like I couldnt stay mad with him.
"Not really." He said while looking away. "I mean we do have the ability to bind the senses as well, but I don't think that is what's going on." He muttered that last bit before turning to me again. His eyes were like the color of the purest ruby, even though Altia also had red eyes hers were more like hell fire though. Again that weird feeling of being tied to him came about, but this time something happened.
The sky darkened to night all of a sudden and golden mist began to form all around us. It started layering on top of one another to form the shape of chains going around our bodies to form a celtic knot. If I hadn't felt like something was off before I definitely did now.
"Are you doing this?!" I asked him my voice rising just a few octaves. "No I swear it's not me, I can only walk and interact with you in your dreams but I can not manipulate them like this. Trust me if I could things would be going a little more differently." He teased as the knot continued to solidify around us.
"Okay so your not doing this, I know that I'm not... so who...?" I didn't get to finish. The chains finally stopped forming and now we were both locked in place. Above us the sky started to tear apart opening up into the cosmos above. A figure was coming down, I couldn't make them out though no matter how hard I tried. They were blurred, even when they arrived just above our heads they were blurred.
"Stop trying to gaze upon me child, your way too low level for that." Their voice boomed like thunder. I winced a little, it was very loud. "Tabrizia the moment that I gave you my blessing a fate bound was made at the same time with that of the other one I had blessed. You and Shadow are now bound not just by me but by fate itself. It's not something you can escape, from this moment on you two are one, like a mated pair I suppose you could say." Here he chuckled deviously. "When you wake you will find I left you both with a little gift, no need to thank me, bye!" With that the God of magical beasts rose back into the cosmos, the sky closing with finality like a thunderclap. The golden chains dissappeard too and the sky returned to normal.
I couldn't say anything I was shocked beyond words, Shadow too seemed stunned. I felt a tug against my mind and the field of flowers along with Shadow dissappeard into the darkness.
