It was the start of spring. The rain poured. When suddenly a little apartment door opened and a tiny old woman named Maria came out. Her hair was gray and her eyes were a gorgeous chocolate brown. She opened her umbrella and started to walk towards the grocery store.

When she arrived at the grocery store, she found a small orange cat. It looked like it was under fed. It was feeble. So out of the goodness of her heart, she put it in her little basket and deciding that it could not stay in the rain any longer…She took it home with her.

(Several months later.)

“Reishi! Oh, dearie! Come out!” Ugh, the old hag is looking for me again! Yeah that’s right! I’m Reishi! The eldritch being! And I’m staying with this old woman. Only because she feeds me!

I come out of my hiding spot, ready to pounce. When I feel myself being picked up! I look around in surprise, just to see her holding me! “Oh, Reishi! It’s time to eat.” She brought me to my food bowl and put me down. Tch, this old woman is crazy as ever!

We spend our days like this. Though, I wish she’d just leave me alone! When one day, she didn’t come back from grocery shopping…Out of fear I want out to look for her, because who would feed me!

I ran to the store first, she wasn’t there. I ran to the park, she wasn’t there. I soon got desperate, where was she? Then an idea came to me. The pet store!

That’s where I finally saw her. She was surrounded. Even though I was far away, I could hear their conversation: “Just give up the money. You’re old and alone, you don’t need it anyway.” Said one of the hooligans. “N-no! I need it to buy food for my beloved cat! Reshi!” The starange men pulled out knifes and started threatening her again.

Was she going to die? No. No! It’s not her time yet! I needed to save her. Transforming from a small orange cat to an eldritch being was hard enough, after all I’ve been stuck in this form for so long. But I was finally able to do it. I thought that being a 34 foot being would scare them off, but they didn’t leave.

They turned their knives to me. I was able to throw one of the guys against the wall and the others tried to stab me, some successfully. Even though I was able to ward them off. Then I turned back in to an orange cat.

“Reishi! Oh Reishi! You’re not hurt are you?” Was she not scared? “You are Reishi, right?” I noded my head up a down. “Good, let’s get you some help.” Im all of my years of living, this is the first time some one has reacted like this.
