Anoth smiles and turns away. "And since you seem to have forgetten.. do try to remember how to walk on two legs and not four. it's kind of hard to use a sword on all your limbs..."

"Oh... of course, my lord," She blushed and nodded eagerly.

And Anoth Smiles more and gives her a last head rub. "Now do get used to your new kennel my pet, I'll be back sooner or latter, but I need to see to that naughty kitty we went past."

Ze Hamster of Lurkdom
The dragonblooded nodded at Anoth as she examined the kennel further to see about making it more secure and defensible against enemies.
Exiting the kennels, it's clear to Anoth that the star anathema had written down what she had been ordered to. Even if she wasn't happy at having to do so.

And so Anoth smiles at the kitty as he picks up the paper. "Aren't you excited about the chances off seeing all your friends join you sometime soon? I've been considering opening a zoo you see..." He idily mentions as he reads the paper.

"Don't think that you'll find it so easy to battle them," The anathema settled for glaring at Anoth for now. Unwilling to test the oath that bound her for now.
Still, the information provided was enlightening. There were a number of cults listed here and there, no overt activities in the heart of the Realm, but even so... that there were small cells listed on the shores of the Realm, within out of the way towns on the southern and north-western shores of the Realm.
It was possible that the information was in accurate, or out of date, but still... it was enlightening.

Anoth shrugs and smiles politely at the kitty. "Well, assuming that they provide about as much challenge as this recent adventure.... Well, I think you may be having some company soon. But don't worry! If anyone tries to do silly in kennel fighting I'll give them all a spanking!"

It's clear to Anoth that the star anathema was about to back talk back at him. She wanted to. She so very clearly wanted to, but she managed to reign herself in and stopped herself before opening her mouth.
"Say what you will, but I don't think you'll be as successful as you were with me."
"Say what you will, but I don't think you'll be as successful as you were with me."

The darker presence became known in the freehold. It wasn't imposing, but it was noticeable. The Spectre in The Closet, unable to amuse himself with the citizenry in their pique of revelry had come looking for company. His chilled voice echoed throughout the place,
"Knock knock, anybody home?"
The words were drawn out and sing songy. It sounded almost like a taunt.

Anoth grins, amused at his new pets defiance. "Of course not, kitty. But we have a guest now, so I'll leave you to your cage and go talk to the visitor for now. Hum, need to go collar shopping... something in crimson and purple would fit you, don't you think? Anyways, toodles!"
And so he goes to say hello to his visitor.

Although Spectre had taken the liberty of adjusting his physical form, The Nightmare of the Blessed Isle was still recognizable. He had his cat, looking rather exhausted, in tow.
"I find the celebrations of mortals positively inane, don't you? Everyone's so happy and carefree they forget the dangers of this shaped realm."
He quickly moves on from pleasantries to the real reason behind his visit.
"The sudden appearance of so many Anathema is somewhat disconcerting, even if some were handled rather easily. Have you used your time with your prisoner a bit more wisely than I? I attempted to goad some secrets out of my pet; While the experience was enjoyable, it wasn't very fruitful. I will have to attempt to coax more out of her later, hopefully I get more than moans this time."
He scratches the cat behind the ears lovingly, with just the slightest hint of malice.

The cat for her part just mews tiredly... even if it was clearly referenced as an anathema. It couldn't be, surely it was just an innocent cat.
But then... weren't moon-mad anathema fabled shapeshifters, some even say on par with Raksha shapeshifters or spirit shapeshifters.
Perhaps a closer examination is required.
Still, as the discussion between the two Raksha occurred politely, such as it were. Upon the subject of anathema and what one could or should do to them....
The priestess returned and was accompanied by a small group of dragonblooded and mortal servants who bowed and genuflected to the pair of Gods incarnated before entering the chancel to clean up the shrine.

Anoth shrugs. "I'm planning on taking my time with that kitty... she's made several unwise comments that I intend to make her eat by the end, and it not like I don't have time. Speaking of kitties, I notice yours doesn't have a collar yet, and I was considering getting mine one. Care to go shopping?"
Haku1
Ze Hamster of Lurkdom
"Meoow," the look of displeasure from the cat is a good sign of her displeasure. Truly, it had to be an anathema. For it was unlikely a spirit would stay in such a form and play the pet of a Raksha.
Still, that made the notion of getting a collar for such more amusing.

"She may not have a collar, but I do have her on a leash."
The fae and the anathema share a quick glance,
"I'll accompany you in hopes of some excitement. The air of anathema running around has made this city very dull even in its fever pitch."

"Mrrrrr!" It's clear that the feline didn't like the direction of the jest from Spectre, as that not quite growl was accompanied by claws being unsheathed to jab into the Raksha. Not that said claws were effective in any way... certainly, it didn't pierce Spectre's garments, let alone his gossamer forged flesh.

Anoth shrugs then. "Well, who knows, maybe you'll see a nice shiny one the kitty likes. Shall we be going then?"

Spectre ignores Kitty's futile attempts at rebellion, then turns and bows slightly,
"Lead the way."
A bemused smile slides across his face,
"If things keep up like they have been, we'll probably trip over an anathema on the way."

The city of Glalo by night was more lively than day, but that was to be expected given that the city was still celebrating the defeat of the anathema who had been paraded about earlier... along with the impending arrival of the Empress to Glalo.
While it was an annual event, it was rare for the heart of the Realm to depart from the holy city, and few could enter the city to see her. Thus, the annual pilgrimage was a much anticipated event.

And it is into this vista that Anoth and co descend, seeking a pet store fit for a god to be seen visiting.
Haku1
Ze Hamster of Lurkdom
Alas, there is no such thing. For verily a pet store fit for a god to frequent would surely only be in the capital or perhaps the Holy City.
Still, many were the sights to be seen in the city as Anoth and Spectre wandered about, with respect and homage paid to the two gods. Along with cheers when they were seen by the common folk for their bravery and powress at quailing demonic anathema.
Eventually, the pair find themselves in a open air market where various goods are sold.

And so it is that Anoth enters the market, as poor as it is, in the hopes he can find something that will fit his wishes. Preferably with a bell on it.

Given that he truly wasn't trying, for it was more a matter of amusement than any urgency, was it any surprise that Anoth was unable to locate a stall that sold collars with bells upon it? After all, to bell a cat took work and skill. As would any mice attest.

Patternspider Survivor
And so Anoth is saddened by the lack of a nice collar to be bought, but this is a thriving market, so surely he can find something interesting if he looks long enough, yes?
Haku1
Ze Hamster of Lurkdom
Many are the stores there, but there is the vague suspicion that the one stall that professed to sell pelts of defeated moon anathema made into vests to be quite dubious in its source for materials...
