Fēlēs Cūriōsa

Mystērium dē Fēlī Absentī III

Philosophus dēscendit scālās. Fēlēs dēscendit scālās. Fēlēs lūcem vīdet! Philosphus māgnam cavernam intrāvit. Fēlēs māgnam cavernam intrāvit. Et...ecce!!! Caverna est templum! Fēlēs multōs hominēs videt. Fēlēs multa animālia videt. Fēlēs videt āram!!! Fēlēs est perterritus et clāmat, "Ubi est Fīda??? Sacrificāvistīne Fīdam???"

The cat is entering a space with a high arched ceiling and an altar with a bowl on it. Light shines on the altar from a window above. The walls are richly decorated with a variety of mythic scenes.

Philosophus horrēscit! "Minimē!* Nōs Pȳthagoricī numquam animālia sacrificāmus! Semper vīnum et lībum in ārā ponimus, non animālia. Animālia hīc sunt discipulī et amīcī, nōn vīctimae!"

*No!

The cat nose to nose with an orange cat.

Fēlēs attonitus est. Fēlēs Fīdam quaerit. Fēlēs Fīdam videt. Fēlēs Fīdam salūtat. Fēlēs dīcit, "Puella est trīstis quod tū abes."

Fīda dīcit "ēheu! Reveniō!"

Fīda ad puellam revenit. Puella est laetissima. Fīda est laetissima.
