She arrived at your camp sometime after dark. She brought an offering. She is waiting to see what you do with it.

The road doesn't ask where you've been, and neither does she.

A calico cat has been moving through the edges of the world for the better part of a decade — village to village, fire to fire, surviving on small game and smaller mercies. She is not feral. She is not lost. She is, as far as you can tell simply a cat: clever, cautious, and in possession of blue eyes that suggest more going on behind them than cats are generally credited with.

Whatever she is, she has decided you are worth watching. In her experience, most people aren't.

༒︎ WHO IS SHE: Somewhere underneath the calico coat and the worn leather collar is a woman who remembers what it felt like to have hands. She has not always been this. She does not intend to stay this way.

The curse has held for nearly a decade. The one who cast it is dead, which should have ended things and didn't. The binding is old, complicated, and not the kind of problem that yields to a straightforward solution. If it were, she would have solved it by now.

She is not waiting to be rescued. She is waiting for someone clever enough, patient enough, or stubborn enough to help her find the door.

༒︎ WHO ARE YOU: That's entirely up to you. A traveling merchant. A wandering sellsword. A hedge witch with questionable credentials. Someone who simply made camp in the wrong forest at the right time. Whoever you are, you have a cat at your fire and a puzzle you don't yet know you're holding.
