Egypt, 900 B.C. It was very hot, and Dionysus had just been thrown out of the palace of the pharaoh. The pharaoh was scared of other people having power, and Dionysus expected to be attacked the next morning. The army of the pharaoh wouldn't be much of a challenge, but that didn't take away that he felt like he was melting. While he was looking at the floor, he accidently almost bumped into a servant. 'Sorry, I can't walk straight because of the heat,' Dionysus said. The servant nodded knowingly. 'I understand. I get overheated often, too.' He smiled. 'Mew! Mew!' The servant's smile faded. He turned around, to where the cat was standing 'Ruby! Please, my lady, be silent!' The cat walked past the servant, but stopped in front of Dionysus. The later sunk down to the level of the cat. 'You call this creature a 'lady?' He asked the servant. 'Yes, my lord. You never know. She could be a goddess in disguise.' 'The people in Egypt have a goddess for just this mewing creature? Interesting...' the cat pushes against Dionysus's hand. The servant also sunk down on his knees. 'She likes to be petted.' He put his hand on the cats' fur. Ruby started to purr. 'No creatures in Greece make that sound,' Dionysus remarked. 'Why does it do it? And just to say it, I don't think the Olympians have heard to this creature that you called a 'cat.' 'If a cat purrs, it means they like being petted. Cats are gentle creatures, most of the time.' The servant giggled when the cat rubbed it's head against his leg. 'Ruby is the cat owned by the queen.' Dionysus lays his finger on the cat's forehead and petted it. 'It is a pretty soft animal. Yet, how does it defend its...' the cat scratched his wrist. 'I... I think I get... it.' The cat pulled away it's paw and layed down, looking content with itself. The servant pulled a piece of cloth out of his bag and wrapped it around the wound. 'Well, I think I should get going. I'll look for your cat-goddess someday. I actually like this creature. Have a good day!' Dionysus walked away from the palace, leaving the servant in the extreme heat with a cat named Ruby.
