LOVERS?!

I could sense a single humanoid shape in the next carven, but it wasn't moving. The three of us and the cats floated forward until we reached the cave and then inside.

The humanoid was a regal-looking metal cat-man with a silver cape, and the moment we stepped in the room, his eyes lit up. I moved the girls behind me, but Sakura started to complain.

"What are you doing?! Let me down, and I will take care of that tin man! I have a score to settle with him!" Sakura raged, and I had half a mind to let her, but I waited.

"What have you done?! When have you freed the abomination?!" Once, emperor of the Meccat, Davo called out to me, but I floated until I was within arm's reach of him.
