The Whisper of Cats: The Prophetic Eye
墨書 Inktalez
Darkness surged like a tide, swallowing me whole.
I jolted awake, my heart pounding like a drum.
Cold sweat soaked my nightgown, clinging to my skin and bringing a wave of nauseating chill.
A suffocating sensation gripped my throat, as if an invisible hand was squeezing my neck, leaving me gasping for air.
I could see nothing.
Only the despairing, boundless darkness.
“Meow…”
A soft cat's meow broke the suffocating silence, like a glimmer of light in the night.
It was Sera, my Cat Spirit.
Curled up by my bedside, its furry body pressed against my arm, offering a barely perceptible warmth.
Yet this warmth could not dispel the fear that gripped my heart.
An unsettling anxiety and dread coiled around my heart like vines, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
“Su Wan…” Sera's voice was low, tinged with a barely detectable tremor, as if struggling to suppress something. “I saw…”
"I saw... the destruction of the city..."
I was stunned, my mind a blank slate.
Destruction?
What destruction?
I felt as if I were trapped in an absurd dream, unable to grasp the meaning behind Sera's words.
I thought I was still dreaming.
"The tall buildings are collapsing, flames engulfing the city..." Sera's voice grew clearer and more terrified, as if she had witnessed that horrifying scene firsthand. "People are screaming, fleeing... like ants scurrying in every direction, yet there is nowhere to escape..."
I tried to sit up, but my body felt weak, as if all my strength had been drained away.
"No, this can't be happening..." I murmured, my voice trembling, betraying the fear within me. "This is just a nightmare... an absurd nightmare..."
"This is not a nightmare, Su Wan!" Sera's voice became sharp, laced with an undeniable certainty. "This is a prophecy! A future that is about to unfold! A future filled with death and despair!"
Prophecy?
Future?
I shook my head vigorously, trying to dispel those terrifying thoughts, but they clung to me like a parasite, refusing to be shaken off.
"You possess the Prophetic Eye, Su Wan," Sera's voice echoed again, carrying a glimmer of hope, like a beacon in the darkness. "You can change everything... prevent this catastrophe from happening..."
Prophetic Eye?
Suddenly, I recalled the ancient legend, a tale about seers and their miraculous abilities.
It was said that some individuals had the power to foresee the future.
They were known as "prophets," observers of fate and the key to altering destiny.
And I...
Could it be that I was one of them?
"But," Sera's voice grew somber again, like dark clouds obscuring the light of hope, "you must pay a price... a heavy price..."
A price?
What kind of price?
My heart was once more shrouded in fear, as if I were plunging into a cold abyss.
I instinctively touched the necklace around my neck, a silver chain with a small cat-shaped pendant hanging from it.
This was a gift from Sera, a symbol of the bond we shared.
The moment my fingertips brushed against the pendant, a warm energy surged through my body, dispelling some of the chill that had settled in.
I felt as if I had returned to the day I first met Sera.
It was a sunny afternoon, and I was walking alone in the park, savoring the rare tranquility.
Suddenly, I heard a faint meow, reminiscent of a baby's cry, stirring a sense of compassion within me.
Following the sound, I discovered a tiny kitten curled up beneath a tree, trembling with fear.
Its fur was dirty and matted, its little body frail and weak, as if it could slip away at any moment.
I picked it up and took it home, giving it a bath and feeding it.
I named her Sera.
At first, I had no idea she was a Cat Spirit; I simply thought she was an ordinary stray cat.
Until one day, she suddenly spoke to me in a soft voice, revealing that she could see the future.
I was utterly shocked, unable to believe my ears.
I thought I was hallucinating or dreaming.
But Sera repeatedly demonstrated its abilities, forcing me to accept this reality.
Gradually, I came to terms with Sera's existence and its incredible powers.
"Su Wan," Sera's voice pulled me back to reality, filled with urgency. "You must believe me! This disaster is no joke; it will destroy everything!"
I took a deep breath, striving to remain calm.
"I believe you, Sera," I said, my tone firm and unwavering.
I knew I had to make a choice—a choice that would determine the fate of the city and even the survival of humanity.
I clutched the pendant on my necklace tightly, feeling its warm energy, as if I were holding onto a spark of hope.
"I will stop this disaster! No matter the cost!"
I lifted my gaze toward the endless darkness, where something seemed to stir, like a beast lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal its vicious fangs.
