Chapter 41

“Yes, you do.” King’s voice echoed up after him.

He went back to check on the Cat and the Reaper and found that, much like Seven, they didn’t have much tolerance for his desolate wasteland. They hadn’t even made it as far as Seven before collapsing on top of a dune, miles from anywhere.

They had tried to think up an umbrella to shade them, but it looked as if it had melted.

“You can’t stop us!” the Cat hissed as he miserably tried to dig himself into the sand. “We’re going to make you give up all your knowledge!”

“Good luck with that,” Fox said.

Deciding he didn’t much like it when they were in his domain, he booted them out. It didn’t take much doing, weakened by the heat as they were. He decided to stay in his own domain, with King. If they wanted to break in again, they were welcome to try.

He remade his domain, hoping that King didn’t mind the shifting.
