Kat has never seen a dragon before and doesn't know what it is other than a large and scary flying beast.
The beast starts to swoop down towards them.

Seeing the dragon swoop down. Dio suddenly stands. Even if her former Kat friend doesn't like Dio anymore. Dio will stand between the dragon and Kat.
Her frail demon form wings spread wide arms extended out ready to catch the first attck from a dragon so Kat can hopefully get away.

The dragon swoops down with claws out on its talons determined to scoop up a tasty morsel. When the demon gets itself in the way of Kat, she is puzzled as to why a demon would try and protect her. No demon had ever done that before. They'd all tried to kill her friends.
The dragon continues its descent and gets closer and closer to Dio until suddenly a large panther pushes her down from behind and the dragons claws just swoop over the top of them both, wind whilstling past their forms as it flies over.
No doubt it will be turning to make another pass.
Mrrroww! The smaller black cat says.

Dio determined to protect her friend. Wasn't that what Cruel Prince Julian would do?
When she is pounched by the panther and pushed away Dio is stunned. Then turns to look at the panter. It saved her. But why.
She then looks past the panther to Kat her eyes confused.

The Panther is gone, only the smaller black cat is there. Somehow her friend changed so rapidly that it was almost a blink of an eye. Impossible from what Dio knows of shifting, but then this isn't exactly the real world.
Kat wonders whether she did the right thing saving the demon or whether she would come to regret it.
Mrrroww! The black cat says to the demon and leaps under an underang on the nearby cliffs to shelter her from swooping dragons.

Dio looks surprised still. But with swooping dragons she has little time to think and concider what had happened here.
She crawls to the shelter Kat found staying as low as possible and making herself again into a smaller furry creature. Perhaps her new friend would dislike her less.
From the safety of the shelter Dio looks up to the returning dragon. Curious now they're safer.
With half a look she looks back to chdck if Kat is still keeping distance or not.

As the demon changes form, Kat sniffs at it tentatively, still a bit unsure of whether this is yet another demon trick.
Mrrow, mrowwww, mrrow. She says to the ferret like creature. They probably don't have long here until the beast creature works out a way to get them out of their new hiding place.

Dio, in her ferret form looks around frantically. Now and then sticking her head out away from the ridge to look for the next hiding place.
Plotting a little trail they can follow.
After a few moments she nods and makes a bouncing movement on her little paws. Jerking her head to one side.
She hopes Kat does get the message they should run.

The demon seems excited to Kat, that doesn't seem to be a good sign. However she also knows that she has to move from here and the demon must save herself also. In such dire circumstances she relunctantly follows, darting quickly from cover to the next cover in a zig-zag path to try and avoid notice of the beast above.

Dio darts from cover to cover she makes sure now and then that Kat follows. And that the beast is not prone to catch either of them.
When they reach one of the covers Kat and Dio slide under the ledge.
The ledge seems to be connected to a little crevasse and both slide and tumble down the opening at least safety from the beast.
Landing in a dark cave Dio shakes her head and sniffs Kat to make sure she is okey.
Letting their eyes adjust a shimmering of wet cavern walls are to be seen a what it seems a small body of water in the cave.

Kat follows Dio cautiously and backs away a little in the cave when Dio approaches her. She is nervous of the body of water in the cave. Back home the only large body of water she knows is dangerous with whirlpools within it. This water though seems strangely still, more like a basin of water.
Kat wrinkles her nose at this damp place and nearly jumps out of her skin as a bunch of bats flap across the cavern to a new roostng place.

Dio doesn't approach more when Kat backs away. She instead goes to investigate the body of water. First sniffing it. Then she picks up a small pebble and drops it in.
A small sound is heard from Dio as she states in the wrinkles of the water. She then sits watching mesmerized.

Kat is confused at the ferret creature's behaviour. Has she never seen water before? Even on Eshanta where no one would venture into the water, people knew what it was.
Meooww, meow? She asks.

Dio keeps staring at the water a short chattering sound comes from the ferret but it seems she is just focues on the wrinkles in the water.
She stares at it. Lays down and outs her head on her front paws her nose almost touching the water.

Kat watches the ferret from a distance for a while. Clearly the young demon is somewhat simple just watching ripples in the water. Had she never seen ripples in a wash basin or a bath when she was filling it?
After a while she gets bored, yawning slightly and heads around the lake to start exploring the back of the cave. Even in the low light her cats eys can pick out a cave painting on the rear wall. Fascinated, Kat starts to study it.
