Dungeon Madness (The Divine Dungeon, #2)

by Dakota Krout

tried fire and earth. I wanted a Magma Cat! I would have called it a Lava Cat, but we were underground. Therefore, magma! I directed the combination of Essence into it, but soon after, the Cat started hissing and burst into flame. Within moments, it was ash. I was glad Dani was otherwise occupied since that was originally the combination I had wanted to try on Snowball… I digress. Maybe I just needed to alter what I added a bit? I directed fire and earth Essence into my next attempt but with earth Essence outweighing fire by a factor of two to one. The Cat’s body seemed to accept this combination, and it began growing. At its full size, it was two hundred and ninety pounds, five feet long from nose to haunch. I looked closely at it, not seeing what advancements might have been made until it decided to stretch. Its claws appeared to be solid steel, and they gouged huge chunks of stone out of the ground with casual ease. It yawned, showing that its teeth had also gained this enhancement. It spotted a rabbit bounding across the ground and got ready to pounce. It launched itself like its spine was a coiled spring, shooting across the distance in a blink of the eye. That concept struck me, and so I named it a Coiled Cat.
