Bab 131: Pet?

The ball of light immediately took off, flying through the trees with insane speed.

I really wanted to take a look at a real magical creature, so I chased after it without much thought.

Maybe eating it would boost my magic?

I was so fixated on catching it, I didn't notice the group of stinger beasts ahead. There were more than ten, surrounding a tree where a small feline creature was, hanging down from one of the tree branches, while the stinger beasts were jumping up to try and catch it. 

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

The tiny ball of light hovered above the tree for a second more, before blinking out of existence.

It was gone!

Like it was just my imagination, leaving me alone with a group of angry stinger beasts that turned their attention to their new prey. 

I snapped out of my thoughts and quickly generated my poison blades, firing at the attacking creatures one after another.
