That meant something was wrong. The Village of Cats was never quiet. This was a rich rural homestead, a lively place full of people with a special place in their hearts for cats. There was always lots of meowing and mewling and purring to be heard here.
There was never a calm...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKsGztJCRZoSeannsa strode through the empty streets. The most noise came from the rivers flowing between the buildings and the watermills they pushed. She suspected the worst. She confirmed that what had taken place here was only the worst as she finally reached the town square.
There were a few hundred of them. The Wei. And dozens of Mass Produced Demigods. They held everyone captive. People and their cats alike. In house arrest and in cages. All the cats had been caught and kenneled, at the mercy of these gun toting custodians of the Kingdom, and Zhun Gongzhu's toadies.
Right there, dead in the center, was that other Cadre from earlier. Virini.
Seannsa clenched her fists; "...Wot have ye' done..."
The Cadre with the ornate umbrella levitated somewhat forward, her ambivalence to the plight she caused as unshakable as iron.
"You will surrender and allow yourself to be placed under custody. You will come with me to the Heavenly Capital for your slaying." Was all she demanded; "You will do so, or your Village and its people will be destroyed. It will take only exactly two minutes and fifty six seconds to commence purification. Your luck cannot overturn these odds."
