A young male monk clad in red monk clothing stumbled into Amatsu Dungeon
level two. He had cobalt-colored hair that was tied in a bushy ponytail. He
wasn't very muscular at all, and people had made fun of him for that, but
he always shook it off. The stench of various fungi made him cover his
nose, and there were murky puddles everywhere that were so filthy that
merely looking at it made one feel sick. This monk had spent two hours in
the previous area teleporting around and trying to find an exit, thanks to
the fact that he had equipped his Fist with a Creamy card. He'd suffered a
bunch of cuts and scrapes, a moderate wound (a gunshot to the left arm from
an Ancient Firelock), and he was depleted of magic, which meant that he
couldn't use his skills, so surviving would be tough.
When he entered the dungeon, he immediately began looking around for a Cat o' Nine Tails. That was the very reason he went into that dungeon; he wanted a pet Cat o' Nine Tails. Everyone he had talked to was laughing their heads off when the monk told them he was going to do it. However, the monk intended to prove that he could do it, no matter how many merchants were selling Dragon Zombie cards in Prontera for only one zeny at the time! There were no Cats o' Nine Tails around, which disappointed the monk.
"Man, why do these things have to be so hard to find?" The monk asked himself. He suddenly realized that a trio of Tengus was approaching him, brandishing their serrated blades in menacing ways that sent chills down the monk's spine. The monk nervously fumbled through his pockets, looking for anything that could replenish his health or his magic, but he only came up with a blue herb. Still, it was enough for one teleport. A wicked smile spread across his face, and he pointed and laughed at the Tengus.
"HA! In your big ugly faces, losers!" The monk shouted in a mocking tone. Before he could put his blue herb in his mouth, though, a Tengu dashed forward and violently bumped into the monk, knocking him back a few feet onto the ground and causing him to drop the blue herb. The Tengu picked up the blue herb, looked at it closely with a curious expression on its face, sniffed it, and then ate it. At the sight of this, the monk's eyes widened as he screamed and looked around frantically for an escape route. His one hope of survival had been taken from him, so now he'd either have to get killed or hope for a miracle. He slowly stood up and chuckled nervously, spreading his arms out to his sides in a shrugging gesture.
"Heh...can't we all just...get along?" The monk asked, nervously. The Tengus started growling, slowly advancing towards the trapped monk. The monk screamed and grabbed onto the wall, climbing up rather quickly. This caused great pain in his left arm, since there was a musket ball lodged in there that the monk hadn't been able to get out. When the monk was at the top of the wall, he looked down at the Tengus, gave them a mocking thumbs up, and turned around to walk away. However, the wall wasn't very thick, so he stepped right off the edge and fell over, landing on his left arm. The pain was now excruciating. Instead of having a close-up view of the dusty dirt floor, though, the monk was staring straight into a furry blue foot. Groaning in pain, the monk sat up and looked at the creature that was in front of him. Sure enough, it was a Cat o' Nine Tails.
The Cat o' Nine Tails looked at the monk curiously with an innocent smile on its face, sniffing his hand and feeling his Sakkat. The monk had a goofy smile on his face as he slowly and wearily stood up.
Oh boy, this is my big chance! I've just gotta get the thing to think I'm an innocent traveler, land a single yet powerful hit, and then use this leash to make it mine! It's flawless! The monk thought, excited yet nervous at the same time.
"What's your name? You shouldn't be here because it's dangerous." The Cat o' Nine Tails asked. The monk smiled, lifting up his right leg and wiggling his right foot.
"My name's...Reev." The monk stuttered. He slowly pulled out a leash and started speaking in a seductive voice. "Here kitty kitty kitty..." The Cat o' Nine Tails smiled, rearing back with its bell.
"What do you think I am, a housecat?" The Cat o' Nine Tails shouted. Before Reev could react, the Cat o' Nine Tails swung her bell and smacked Reev in the ribcage, sending him ten feet across the cavern. Reev screamed and clutched his chest in pain. He face planted into a murky puddle, and when he got up he wiped his face on his right sleeve. When there was no more mud on his face, the Cat o' Nine Tails could tell that he had an exasperated expression.
"Humans are so much fun! They're so slow, so they're not really much of a challenge!" The Cat o' Nine Tails giggled. Reev groaned, limping forward. His left arm was in so much pain that it was unusable. He was sure he had sprained his right ankle, since he couldn't take normal steps with it. There was a cut on his face, as well as one running up his pointer finger.
"You're...a tough kitty...but I'm a tougher kitty! Let's...go!" The monk stammered. The Cat o' Nine Tails had a confused expression. She stared at the floor for a moment, tapping her feet, and then looked up at the ceiling.
"Humans also have the worst punch lines." The Cat mumbled, looking back at Reev with a devilish grin.
