I stood in the middle of the damp and rather dreary cave, stunned for a moment. I looked into the red eyes of the beautiful Ahzenai that had approached me and took her words in. I then looked behind her at the rest of the cave. Adethea did have just about everything anyone could ever need…… but it struck me as odd that she was willing to let go of what most want. I pondered the thought for a moment then my grey eyes met with hers once more. “I am Mew….” I began with a smile.
“I can offer you a life outside of this cave. A life where you can explore and make new friends be it human or other. Of course a life with two other Ahzenai; Ezanom and Faeli” I pet each of them. Ezanom looked at the newcomer and bowed his head, “we are always traveling, seeing new sites and making new friends. We’ve plenty of stories to tell of our travels.” Faeli shakes her pelt, “yes its quite an amazing life we lead. I remember one time we had stopped to camp in the mountains of Mew’s home and Eza decided he wanted to explore a nearby cave. I decided I would tag along with him so we went in and BAM there is was! A growl that shook the cave and rang through the mountains with a ferocity we’ve not seen in ages. Eza went darting back to the entrance,” she chuckles. Ezanom looked at Faeli dryly, “if I remember correctly you yelled ‘run’ as soon as a black figure that was larger than us charged you.” I laughed softly, “Guys it’s okay really. There’s no need to start a fuss over a story.”
Faeli sat down and licked her paw, “Mew lets us go anywhere we want as long as we are back by supper time. She likes to play a lot too but she can be relaxed when she wants to be.” I looked at Faeli and then back at Adethea. “Yeah I’m fairly relaxed its more or less what you want to do. My goal is to keep my companions happy not force them to do things and be miserable…… ANYWAYS I can offer you food you won’t find here too….. Things like rabbits, hares, squirrels, a variety of greenery and fruit. We can even get chicken, turkey, or ham if you’d rather. “Ezanom looked at more for a moment before quickly explaining that hare, rabbits, and squirrels are similar to mice and that chicken and turkey were birds that humans normally fed on for food.
“Adethea, I can give you a friendship that will last a life time, even life outside of Ahzen with freedom, new sights and adventures. I can offer you an array of food and pets you’d never find in this cave. I do understand though if you’d prefer a life in Ahzen, or a life without much competition for affection. However Adethea, I’d be honored if you chose to travel with us.” Eza and Fai looked at the Ahzenai with interest and they dipped their heads to her. I held my hand out with a warm smile, “Adethea, will you join us in our travels?”
