Lightning Is the Only Way

The Red King quickly found a replacement for Kara. The new beast was also a King, and Gravis felt its level. 'Level three King,' he concluded. It would be incredibly easy for this beast to keep watch over him.

Ironically, this beast was another cat, but white instead of black. She also looked kind of similar to Kara, but with a different aura. This new cat radiated a rather peaceful and tranquil aura instead of Kara's malicious one. Gravis guessed that these two probably had some kind of rivalry going on.

"Hello, I'm Cynthia, and I will remain by your side for the next five years. Nice to meet you," the white cat said with a polite tone.

Gravis was quite surprised by the friendly tone of Cynthia. This was completely different than nearly every other beast Gravis had met. This Cynthia probably wasn't simple. But hey, as long as she didn't act like a stuck-up prick, why not?

Gravis nodded. "Hello, Cynthia. My name is Gravis," he said.

The Red King was still present but perked up at these words. He realized that he had never heard Gravis' name before. Though, he wondered if Gravis would have even told him his name if he asked.

Cynthia nodded with a smile. "What do you want to do first, Gravis?" she asked. "Of course, the restrictions that my King has put in place still apply. So, please, don't make things hard on me, okay?"

Gravis shook his head a bit. "It's okay. As long as no one flaunts their power in front of me in order to intimidate me or force me into something I don't want, I have no problems," Gravis looked at the Red King with a cold gaze.

The Red King huffed. "Cynthia, try to keep him in check," he said.

"Yes, my King," Cynthia said.

The Red King nodded and flew back into his mountain. Meanwhile, Gravis looked all around the Red Kingdom. "First, I need to regenerate my limbs. After that, I need to search for ore."

Cynthia looked a bit surprised. "Oh, so this isn't your normal form?" she asked.
