NARRATOR'S SPEECH

Bingus visited Flopperium. The guards let him into the castle without hestitation, and he quickly approached Floppa's location. Both of the brothers were waiting for the petite cat. They exchanged hugs, and spent a few hours in the castle talking. 

They talked about many things, like Floppa's feelings on being the king, and Zabloing's feelings on his sibling ruling his kingdom. Soon after that, they had a fancy dinner with exquisite food. Bingus was planning to stay for the night, and so he did. He'd sleep in the guest bedroom, which was surprisingly well-decorated, comfy and similar to a royal bedroom.

ZABLOING'S POV

That night, i had an awful nightmare. It was roughly 1am when i fell asleep, and when i saw everyone around me die. The guards, my mother, bingus, floppa... We were just having breakfast. There was an unexpected raid, and nobody was armed. I couldn't even glance at the attackers. Who was it? Was that one of those dreams that foreshadowed the future?

Please

Don't

Be real

I...

When i woke up, i started huffing and breathing very heavily. I felt tears streaming down my face, some getting absorbed into my fur. i only fell asleep after what seemed like an hour. I spent some time overthinking. In the morning, i told both Floppa and Bingus about the dream. Bingus comforted me, and Floppa... He tried his best to do the same. My brother's not an emotional guy. He doesn't show it, at least.

FLOPPA'S POV

(the following story will be told in all of the character's povs.)

The day after Bingus' visit, we all agreed on a trip to the wild forest to pick out some wild berries for our towns. We took one very experienced guard with us, just to be safe. We knew nothing was going to attack us though. It was Bingus' idea, and Bingus is a cat who cares about everything and everyone - he's a child at heart.

Once we ventured into the Caraberry forest, i had to take Bingus on a piggyback ride. If he'd go on his own, he would trip over every single branch and twig. The poor sphynx, not being able to do anything from his location, had to order me to go somewhere in order to "pick a flower for his brothers", for example. Later on, we'd go seperate ways. 

The guard and i went on the right path

The guard and i went on the right path. He held a sword, and i held the picnic basket we were supposed to put the collected berries in. Honestly, i looked stupid. Bingus and Zabloing went on the left path - Bingus had to be extremely careful while walking around, cause he wasn't on neither mine or Zabloing's back. He picked out the berries, and Zabloing held both a sword for self defense and the basket. Luckily, the paths were carefully built, so we'd be able to find ourselves after we've gained enough supplies. But...

"AAAAAAH-! FLO-..."

- "What was that!?" My Guard asked, clutching his sword as we looked in the direction of the sound.

- "It sounded like Bingus! Quick!" I yelled out.

We ran along the other path, in determination that we'll find the two.

We found them. But i wish we never had. I really wish we never split up, i.. I can't find the words for this sentence because... 

Zabloing was dead.
