The young goat boy was alone in a dark room. It was lit by a few candles mounted on the walls, lit with purple flames. The room was empty save a large mirror along one of the walls. No sign of Retriever, Hatred, or Blood.

Cato woke up slowly, eyes blearily opening from the forced 'sleep' he'd had the moment Retriever had taken him to this place. As soon as he saw clearly however, he shot up, looking around him in fear. "B-Blood??" There was no one there. He stood up, shivering slightly. "A-Anyone..? Hello?"

"You are not alone." Spoke a female voice from behind him. Lounging on a dark throne that had not been there a moment ago was a hedgehog of light gray fur. She dressed in black and red and her red eyes were focussed entirely on Cato.

The boy shivered slightly as he turned to her quickly, blinking with confusion. "W-Where... Where is this..?"

"My home." She glanced to the mirror, and suddenly it changed to that of a window. Outside was a cavern underground larger than could have been believed. There was a river of fire beneath them, and the sky was alight with a thunderstorm. "Far away from your home. Not even in the same plane of existance."

Cato jumped slightly with shock, turning to look out the window as the woman spoke. Staring with fear (And slight interest; These areas were always the coolest on the boy's games, though he wasn't sure why), he turned back to the woman, swallowing. If... She was sitting on a throne... Then... "D-Does that mean you're... The ruler of this place...?" Then, she was maybe a Queen or... a... Um...

She nodded at him. "I am Caddren, Deathsong, or I prefer Cade. I am the goddess that rules over this realm, and your Blood's 'mother'."

There was a part of him that was wondering if this made 'Cade' his adoptive grandmother... But there was a much louder, and larger, and generally overpowering part that told him to keep that to himself. Nodding a little uncertainly, he kept his head bowed partially from respect, and partially from fear- He hadn't realized that Blood's mother was... A goddess...
"Wh.... Why am I here...?" He didn't do something wrong did he!?

"Because I wished you here." As she spoke her red eyes flashed. They softened a bit after. "But you wish an answer you would understand I suppose. Because I needed a way to convince Blood to come and you were the easiest solution."

"Come... Here...?" Why didn't she just call or something? Wouldn't Blood want to visit her? She was her 'mother' wasn't she? "...But why wouldn't she want to come...?" He was rather... Confused to say the least. Was he being used as bait or just a joke? It was so... Bizarre, standing in this place that looked almost like it came from an M rated video game, talking to this woman. But... He couldn't be scared... After all, it was a relative of Bl-
Wait, scratch that. She seemed nice in any case.
(CATO. DON'T... AUGH. )

"Because she is one of the two children that aren't loyal to me." Her eyes flashed again and she looked out the window. A mist settled over it. In the mist two images appeared. One was of Blood, walking through some forest, or rather running. The other was a black robed figure. A huge scyth dragging behind him. "She is mad at me for not removing the curse her sister placed on her. And the other you see, Plague, is simply an ungrateful brat."

"H-Hn..." Maybe he should get off this topic... The goat turned his eyes away slightly, wondering what to say next. He was a bit curious but... Something told him asking more questions would be a bad idea...
Except, perhaps, this one. ".U-Um... What should I do then...?"

She raised an eyebrow. "What do you wish to do?"

"M-Me?" Oh... Oh this was... "Um... I don't really want to intrude or anything..." Besides, if she has as much power as Blood did... And didn't care about the taste then...
Urk...
(I have a coloured picture for Cato~ *posts*)

"You are not a prisoner Cato. You have the freedom to do anything except leave." A smirk formed on her lips.
