Chapter Seven: Of Cats and Gods

Meanwhile during the nap, Bast and Ptah show up in Anwen's dream scape. Which looks like a construction site being run by hyper intelligent spidermonkey's with a Very Angry Badger as the foreman.

Bast looks around, "Well she does have vivid dreams, but where do you think she is."

Ptah looks up, "She is just watching this one." points to the 'glass wall' above where shadowy figures move around. They move up there and find about a dozen different versions, male, female and 'other' wandering around and mostly ignoring each other. Most seem intent on watching the show below a few are doing other things including playing some kind of game on a screen in which they control the show that is going on below.

Ptah looks around, "Lovely, multi-universal versions. Finding the real one is going to be difficult."

From the floor, "What are you guys doing in my dream scape ?" They look down and see the floor is Anwen's face.

Bast stares, "I will never get used to walking around in other people's dreams, it's just to freaky."

Ptah nods, "Ra sent us to collect you. We figured your dream / astral self would be easier than trying to move your physical form in to the spirit world."

The floor nods and forms up in to a very good version of her true form dressed in strange brown clothing (Indiana Jones motif), "Yes giving my waking self a clue about how to become a spirit and keep all her stuff would not be good. Teleporting alone is a scary power for us. She loves it and flying a little too much I think."

Ptah to Bast, "Fragment, not the real her." Bast snaps her fingers, "They are all the real her, just fragmented. We may need to partially wake her to do this right."

Ptah slowly nods, "Good point, oh well."

They pop outside and find themselves Outside. An old temple to the Demon God who tried to take over Egypt through its Pharaoh and Queen. Bast looks around, "Well this makes things difficult. Wonder how she found this place."

Ptah, "Clairvoyant just scanning around the region for an out of the way spot. Probably thought it would be a good place to get away and practice her magics without the Palace people getting in the way. She picked a bad place though."

Ptah looks around then see's Bast stuffing something small in to an air vent.

"What are you doing ?" he ask curiously.

Smiling, "Kitty gram. Small cat, she will crawl through the vents, find Anwen and wake her and let her know we are outside and need to speak to her."

Ptah thinks then nods, "Cards or tiles ?"

Bast thinks, "Tiles, but I am white this time." Ptah brings forth a table and they sit to play a game while waiting for the little grey kitten to find Anwen.

----

Problem with kittens is they get distracted easily, even those sent by gods. This one saw a bug and chased it all over before it found an opening and flew away. The kitten slowly recalled its mission, tried very hard not to give in to temptation, but well it's a kitten. It saw something and went to investigate that to. In fact it does not find where it needs to be till it picks up an interesting scent and follows it right out of a tilted hole and dropping on some soft bouncy pillows. That oof and yelp as she lands. The pillows have an arm attached to them, which reaches up and picks up the very dusty kitten. Raising it up and muttering a word, a light comes on. The kitten see's the long red hair and slowly it remembers why its there.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

It starts to purr while the giant woman brushes it off, "What in the world are you doing in the air vents, other than playing feather duster ?"

The kitten thinks really hard, "Bast sent me, Bast outside, Bast needs you Outside. I sent to get you. There are Bugs in those holes, I chase them. They got away. Your bouncy and soft, I like that."

Putting the chatty kitten under her right breast she leaves the room and finds the Immortals hard at work trying to clear the entrance. "Hey guys and dolls, I am needed elsewhere for a bit. If anyone wants a lift to the outside of this place now is the time." Brawn, 'Little Bear' and Ruttag all nod. Brawn, "We need more lumber if we are to shore this place up."

Anwen nods, "There are plans in the middle room, on the table, for a design for shoring up the roof and keeping it more stable." she reaches in to a pocket and hands them each 10 silver coins, "Silver is worth more than gold around here. But this should help you get any supplies you need. " she gives them directions to the two nearest towns then pops them and herself outside. She wanders around a bit before finding Ptah and Bast playing some kind of game. She walks over, "Hey guys, Bast, kittens are cute but not best for missions, they get distracted to easy." she holds out the little bundle of grey dust to her. Bast waves her off, "The kitten is yours. You need someone to watch over."

"I got several someone's to watch over now. Including two new war dogs and a new Slave girl the Pharaoh gave me."

Ptah grins, "He still trying to find ways to keep you as part of his court ?"

Anwen nods, "I keep politely turning him down and occasionally giving him things to distract him. Gave him a war horse last time. No I don't know if it was a gelding or not, I pulled it out of the cloak." that last said to Bast," it's a European breed though so should be compatible with the local types."

Ptah nods, "There are a few brought over by merchants so nothing new for the local gene pool."

Yawning slightly, "So what did you guys want ?"

Ptah looks at the sky and shakes his head, "Ra sent for you. We were going to take your dream self but ran in to problems."

She nods, "Yeah my subconscious defense system. Lots and Lots of me's and none of them ME. I thought I saw you talking to Fear, I was the Room in that scenario."

Bast sighs, "I hate wandering other peoples dreamscapes, just so Weird."

Shrugging, "At least you did not arrive earlier, I was having kinky dreams then."

Ptah grins, Bast shakes her head.
