Mmhm. It was about a priest, who entered a strange place, and startled three different animals when he entered their grove, all on accident. Each one went their separate directions, leaving the priest the choice to only follow one. [ xie lian's voice is thoughtful as he speaks, still stroking the top of tsukasa's head. ] One was a bird, with beautiful plumage, standing guard over a massive nest. It cawed protectively, watching over all that must have been its own, ready to claw the very eyes out of the priest should he come close.

The second was a dragon. Unlike anything you've ever seen before--beautiful and powerful, strong enough to carry this world on its back. It was lonely, though, and it flew far, far up into the atmosphere, farther than this old priest could even dream of following.

And the third... [ he gives another scritch, mouth curling up for real now, into a smile. ] ... The third was a little cat, a precious thing who ran away at the sight of a human. Apparently, he'd had a terrible time with them, because humans can often be very cruel.

Do you know which one the priest chose to follow?
