The sword is just lying there, on the table.
You
want it. You know all about its exquisite craftsmanship, sturdiness and
magic nature just by the way it looks. You can already imagine its
weight in you hand, and feel the faint aura of consciousness emanating
from it.What you can’t figure out is the two-tailed cat. You
know he (or she ?) only pretend to not noticing you by looking intensely
at the sword too. Magical, creature, surely. Maybe ethereal, maybe a
manifestation of the sword ? You fail to guess any intents or motives
from it.
Will you dare ?
