Dungeon Madness (The Divine Dungeon, #2)

by Dakota Krout

*Mew!* Dani screamed, breaking my concentration, “AHHH! I love it! Hi, kitty! You. Are. So. Fluffy!” She zoomed around it so fast that it couldn’t keep its eyes on her. It tried to bat at her a few times but, after a moment, flopped to the floor and curled up. It was only thirty seconds old, so I felt it was acceptable that he was a bit tired. “Cal, this has to be the third-floor Boss. We’ll evolve the others first—let me play with the kitty!” she begged. “I name you Snowball, and all who face you shall feel your wrath!” she told the kitten seriously. It tiredly purred back at her. <Snowball? C’mon. Imagine this place in two weeks,> I pleaded. <‘Look out, it’s… Snowball! Yeah, ol’ Johnny got mauled by… Snowball.’ Heh. That… that’s actually hilarious. I’m in. Snowball it is.> I created a few more kittens, being careful to keep the fluffiness to a minimum. I did not want a repeat of Snowball. I was happy that Dani seemed to have gotten over her fear of cats, though.

<Bwa-ha-ha! Oh, looks like Dale is not fighting anymore, better keep the information limited,> I reluctantly mumbled. “You are thoroughly insane, you know that, right?” Dale thought at me angrily. <Untrue. An insane person is unable to process events around them in a logical manner or react appropriately to situations. I am simply doing what is best for myself in order to protect what I care about. At worst, I am a sociopath,> I rebutted, causing Dale to pause in his negative assessment.

Nothing like creating a minor inconvenience for someone! Take that! …Yeah!
