Her Duty, Part II

(Author's note: Teea belongs to @sweepart. They granted me permission to use their character in my story. Please do not duplicate, or replicate my art or writing in any way with mine or @sweepart’s permission. Thank you. Also, I changed the picture as I felt Wind’s new pose worked better)

Wind blinked again “Well, Teea, I'm Wind. I don't know how you got here, but since I can't exactly send you back... to wherever you came from, since I'm well, you know...”  

She suddenly threw Soulblade past Teea's head and into the head of a demon. She then spoke a strange language to Teea, and Soulblade came flying back to her hand.

“Can you fight, Teea?” Wind asked suddenly, a concerned look on her face.

“I can fight well enough.” Teea nodded. “But not without a weapon.”

Wind sheathed Soulblade on her back, and then opened the bag at her waist. She then stuck her arm in it, lower then should have been physically possible, and drew out a dangerous looking hook sword. She held the sword handle first towards Teea.

“This should work, I think.” The catter said as Teea took the sword. “Stay close to me, and everything should be fine.”

Teea nodded. “So, what are these things?” She asked as she lopped the head off a demon that was advancing on her and Wind.

Wind bashed her shield into the chest of another demon, and drew Soulblade again. “Deadite Demons. Nasty little buggers.”

Teea nodded. “Well, there's a large group coming.” She pointed at the near horizon. “About a hundred or so-”

The catter looked to where Teea was pointing. “I got them.”

Teea blinked as Wind suddenly disappeared. The next thing she noticed was a brown blur zooming throuh the demons. A few seconds later, Wind was standing next to her, panting slightly.

The grey cat gasped and stared wide-eyed at Wind. “How did you do that?”

Wind smirked. “Long story.”

Teea nodded an readied her sword again. “How many more will there be?”

Wind shrugged. “No more then another 500 or so.”

The grey cat smirked at the catter. “You lead a interesting life, Wind.

Sometime later, Wind was squatting and panting next to Teea.

“So...”the grey cat with pink hair, said with a huff, as she squatted in front of Wind, leaning on her sword. “Those were Deadite Demons, huh?”

Wind nodded as she offered her new friend a tired smile. “Yeah. Not the friendliest creatures.” She glanced at her sword, Soulblade, which was caked in green blood, much like her clothing. She noticed that her tunic was torn to shreds, “Also, fighting them... is really messy.”

Teea glanced at her sword and clothing. They too, were covered in green blood. “So, why were you fighting these demons on a barren... plain?”

Wind brushed her messy and sweaty bangs out of her eyes, “Well, where I come from, I'm the Watcher of my World. The Mama Cat, if you will. I keep an eye on risks dangers that might threaten my world. Be it... on my world itself, or other worlds.”

Teea blinked. “Your world? Other worlds?” She asked in a shocked tone, “You can hop dimensions?”

Wind nodded  “I come here time to time to fight those demons. Keep them in check.” She rubbed her metal arm. “You kicked a lot of ass, by the way.” She heaved a sigh. “How did you end up here?”

Teea looked down at the hook sword in her hand. “I... I was walking home... I saw a shimmer in the air, and, just like you, the next thing I knew... I was here. Helping you.” She lifted the sword, and examined the sword. “Thanks, by the way. This is a nifty sword.” She looked at Wind's sword. “So is yours, by the way.”

Wind smiled, and twisted the handle in her hand. “Heh. Soulblade and I have killed a lot of demons.” She gestured to the runes on the blade. “See the how runes are glowing? Means there are no enemies nearby. If they stop glowing...”

Teea nodded in understanding as Wind trailed off. “Right.”

Wind lifted her metal arm and examined the blood on it. “Ugh... deadite blood is so tough to get off.”

“Your arm... is it armoured?” Teea asked kindly. “I noticed that you were using a shield as well.”

“No.” Wind shook her head. “It's cybernetic.”

Teea gasped. “Whoa.” She looked around the dead world. “So, um, can you send me home?”

Wind grinned. “Sure.” She pulled out a piece of parchment from a pouch on her belt. “Where do you live?”

Teea blinked. “Uh... I don't really know.” She looked at the parchment. “Is that a map?”

“Kinda. It's a map that lets me hop dimensions.” Wind smiled. “Just picture your home, as clearly as you can, in your minds eye.”

Teea nodded and closed her eyes. She then thought of her home. Wind handed her the parchment.

“Now, with that in your mind, draw a circle on the paper with your finger.” She explained.

Teea drew started drawing a circle on the parchment. She opened her eyes and then gasped, as a portal with sparkling edges opened in front of them. She saw her world through it.

“Wow.” She said as she stood up. She then looked down at Wind, and handed the paper back to her. “Will you be okay getting home?”

Wind shrugged. “Me? I'll be fine. My Father, De Writer, is on his way here. He'll take care of me.”

Teea held out the sword to Wind. Wind dismissed the gesture with a wave of her hand. “Keep it. It suits you.”

The cat girl smiled, and then asked softly, “Will I ever see you again?”

Wind shrugged again. “Maybe. Who knows?” She smiled and pulled out a crystal. “If you'd like to meet another version of me, a human version of me, use this crystal.”

Teea took the crystal and examined it. “Another version of you? Human?”

“Yep. Though, her world doesn't have any demons.” Wind nodded at the crystal.  “It only works two ways. One way to the dimension where human Wind lives, and then, it will take you home.” She smiled. “You can use it as often as you like, and, if you do use it, it will disguise you to look human as well.”

“Thanks...” Teea said ,“I'll think about it.” She took a deep breath as she stepped through the portal.

Wind closed the portal and heaved a sigh. She suddenly slumped against a rock and closed her eyes, while she waited for De Writer to show up
