He gives another exasperated sigh- this was like Calvin and Hobbes, but with werewolves. He opens the door timidly, the fear causing green to swirl into the blue of his eyes.

Quietly the cat moves to the blade and plops down beside it. Staring back at Dalcon, the cat then meowed at him again.

" I can't lift it. I tried."
Knowing the the cat wouldn't except that answer, Dalcon reaches down to put both hands on the hilt.

This time the cat made no movement. He only looked on as the boy griped the hilt.

He strains, tugging as hard as he can to lift the massive sword, and as green flame coils around his body, he succeeds. However, he loses balance because of the weighty, long weapon and topples over backwards, the flame going out in a shower of green sparks.

The cat's tail twitches a few times back and forth as he continues to look on.

Scrambling to his feet, Dalcon tries again, but with less success, having spent so much energy on earlier tries, after and between running from youkai and de-facto hypothermia.

After a little while longer the cat stood back up and placed a paw on the sword and on the boy. In an instant, all three were absorbed into the shadows. Near the small lake in the woods they re-emerged from the shadows. Quickly the cat jumped over to a rock and started watching the boy again.

Dalcon looks around worriedly as he continues to try to lift the sword.
" Tobias, what have you done? Where am I?"

The cat meowed softly before walking in a circle and lying down.

" I..I mean it, Toby. I don't want to be here..."
He looks around the forest and the lake, becoming slowly aware of how defenseless he truly is.

With another meow the cat twitched its tail and glared at the boy.

"What did I do to you?" Dalcon says crossly. "Where's Mom?"

The cat yawned at the boy before lying its head down and closing his eyes.

Shivering in the February cold, Dalcon wraps himself about the handle of the sword, waiting for either the cat to wake, or someone or something to come.
