<p>Solifan the wizard had done great things in his lifetime but was currently facing the greatest struggle of his life.</p><p>"I can't find her!" he shouted, all the while tossing books, clothes and reagents from one corner of his room into another. His long, grey hair was in disarray, his glasses sat crooked and his usually pristine robe was crinkled and stained.</p><p>Albor stood in the door feeling uncomfortable. He had never seen his old friend in such a state. It had been some time since they had last met, but in his mind Solifan was still the mage-general of the south. Always in control, of himself, any situation, and powers beyond the imagination of most living beings. He coughed politely.</p><p>Solifan froze, turned and, when he recognized his old friend, sighed with relief. "Thank the spirits you're here, you have to help me find her." he gestured towards a rather tidy corner of the room.</p><p>Albor eyed the corner with a raised brow and put a heavy hand on his friends shoulder. "Calm down Solí. Who is 'her' and how could she be in a corner of your room?"</p><p>"Ah..." Solifan straightened, combed a hand through his hair and adjusted his glasses. "See, after I retired, after a while, I grew a little lonely." he explained. "So I got a cat. Píp."</p><p>Albor's eyebrow got quite the workout that day.</p><p>"Sooo, YOU can't find a... cat?" there was an undertone of accusation. "Your cat?"</p><p>With a disarming shrug and a smile Solifan continued. "I didn't want to lock her in, and the city is dangerous, so Iiii..."</p><p>"Yoooou?" the eyebrow curled suspiciously downward.</p><p>"I gave her some... protection." Solifan shrugged.</p><p>"So she is invisible? Immortal? Tiny? All at once?" Albor's eyes started canvassing the room, their subtle, teal glow indicating that he saw more than just this realm.</p><p>"You remember that spirit we saved in Dimkarat? The one that promised eternal gratitude for us and our ancestors?" Solifan had apparently found a very interesting dust bunny between his feet which required intense study.</p><p>"Ah yes, they were very thankful for..." Albor's eyes went dim as his mouth fell open. "Noooooo..."</p><p>"Well, since Píp is my fur baby..." Solifan's studies continued.</p><p>"You made a thousand year old tree spirit from the forests of Dimkarat your cat sitter?"</p><p>Solifan slumped into a chair. "Píp and them got along so well, I didn't think they meant it, when they said Píp should visit their homelands, but I've searched the city and my room twice now. In all realms."</p><p>Albor felt a familiar tingle behind his ears, the lure of adventure and danger. He took the gnarled staff from the mantle of the fireplace and held it out.</p><p>"Looks like we're going to Dimkarat, again."</p><p><a href="/tags/microfiction/" rel="tag">#microfiction</a> <a href="/tags/smallstories/" rel="tag">#smallstories</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a></p>

<p>Píp the cat and Solifan the wizard had developed a routine. Cats are very good at routines. </p><p>During the day, Píp would lounge around the room, preferably on a blanket in front of the fireplace or on Solifan's lap. At noon and for teatime, they would trade scritches and food for purrs and play, which seemed like a good deal to everyone involved. Then, at sunset, Píp would leave into the night until the early morning hours. Just before sunrise, she would make herself known by the agreed-upon signal. Loud meowing and scratches on the door. Sometimes she brought snacks. </p><p>Solifan had locked the door for the night an hour ago and blotted his last page for the day before storing it with the others. The writing had become much easier with company around. </p><p>A small thump hit the door, followed by weak, wheezy mewling. </p><p>Reflexes from a time he was hoping to forget took over. The surge of fear and worry was pushed aside by absolute clarity. He ripped open the door, eyes glowing like fire, drawing power from everything in reach. The flowers on the mantle withered, the fireplace went dim, and his limbs grew numb and cold as waves of dread pulsed through the street, warning everything, alive or not, of terrible danger. </p><p>The little ball of fur and blood on the doorstep let out a whimper, and the spell broke. </p><p>Solifan's eyes grew dim and wide with fear. Lines of worry creased his brow as he carefully picked Píp up, cradling her against his body. He set her on the blanket in front of the hearth and stoked the fire, listening to her ragged breathing. </p><p>After a couple of helpless minutes, he stood up, put on his winter coat, and went to look for help.</p><p><a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/microfiction/" rel="tag">#microfiction</a> <a href="/tags/tootfic/" rel="tag">#tootfic</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/smallstories/" rel="tag">#smallstories</a></p>
<p>Píp the cat was patrolling the rooftops of the city, stopping occasionally when something caught her eye. With her was, as always, Ból, the forest spirit. </p><p>You should tell him. Ból's words manifested in Píp's mind and carried a feeling of urgency. </p><p>"But he loves me as he knows me." Píp's tail twitched. "I don't want anything to change right now." She was now perched on the edge of a roof, watching the busy street below. </p><p>Ból filled the air around her and Píp arched her back, her hair standing up. </p><p>"I won't fall." she hissed. "Not again." </p><p>Sometimes it's not in your hand. Ból gave her space. </p><p>"I've thought about it, you know?" Píp's gaze returned to the street. "Could you take it back? Make me as I was?" </p><p>Yes, I can. Do you want me to? It would be like nothing ever happened. The words were tinged with an anticipation of sadness. </p><p>"No. Never. I'm perfect." </p><p>That's such a cat thing to say.</p><p><a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/microfiction/" rel="tag">#microfiction</a> <a href="/tags/smallstories/" rel="tag">#smallstories</a> <a href="/tags/tootfic/" rel="tag">#tootfic</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a></p>
<p>Solifan the wizard yawned in the darkness and uttered an unwilling grumble.</p><p>"Mrp." said the weight on his chest.</p><p>"No. Psh." Solifan gently pushed the weight off the bed, and tried to fall asleep gain, which worked for about thirty seconds, then the weight returned and started purring.</p><p>"I liked it better when you went out at night." Solifan sighed. A subtle glow filled his eyes and the candle on the nightstand began to burn. Píp the cat was sitting on his chest, intently staring at his face. Now that she had his attention, she repeatedly bumped her head onto his nose.</p><p>"Fiiiine, I am getting up." Solifan pushed her off his face and sat up. Píp was already sitting by the door, waiting patiently, and purring.</p><p>Solifan shuffled to the door in a drowsy stupor and opened it just wide enough for the cat to fit.</p><p>Píp sat in the gap, relishing the fresh air streaming into the room, and looked out onto the street.</p><p>"In or out." Solifan grumbled, waited five seconds, then gently pushed the cat through the cracked door out on the street.</p><p>"There you gooouow." he yawned as he turned to go to sleep again.</p><p>"Thanks." a tiny voice whispered through the door.</p><p><a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/microfiction/" rel="tag">#microfiction</a> <a href="/tags/smallstories/" rel="tag">#smallstories</a> <a href="/tags/tootfic/" rel="tag">#tootfic</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a></p>
