The master spy or Puss in the boot adventures

The way of ninja 17 , Part 109

Kira's voice booms across the meadow as she confronts the kitten, her eyes blazing with determination. She reminds her furry companion of their crucial mission - to become powerful ninjas and conquer any obstacle in their way. The weight of responsibility and the desire for success fuels Kira's words, urging the kitten to give their all and prevail at any cost. This is their chance to rise above mediocrity and prove themselves as true warriors.

The young ninjas exchanged wary glances, their hearts racing with fear and determination. Mer-mer's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper as she outlined the next task at hand. "Your mission is to infiltrate the territory of the fearsome dragon horse and steal his prized golden saddle. This beast is known for his violent temper and fierce protection of his treasures. One misstep could mean certain death."

"And finally," Mer-mer's eyes gleamed with excitement, "the ultimate challenge - a covert operation to liberate a rare talking bird from a tyrannical kingdom. The king is arrogant and ruthless, and his court is a treacherous web of deceit. The cage holding the coveted bird will surely be heavily guarded at all times." The young ninjas gulped nervously, knowing that this would be their most perilous task yet.

Kira's eyes sparkled with determination. "Then it's settled. You will become the greatest ninjas this realm has ever seen! But you must strategize our approach carefully if you are to succeed against such formidable foes."

Mer-mer and Shadow-cat nodded in agreement, their fear transformed into excitement as they began to formulate their plan. "First, we need to understand the dragon horse's territory," Shadow-cat suggested, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "We should scout out the area and figure out when he is most vulnerable."

"Agreed," Mer-mer replied. "If we can find a way to distract him or sneak past his defenses, we could grab the saddle without alarming him."

Shadow-cat clapped her paws together with enthusiasm. "Then tonight, we'll set off toward the dragon horse's lair at dusk. We can use the cover of darkness to our advantage."

As night fell, they prepared for their mission, gathering essentials like a map Kira had drawn from her observations and the wand gifted by the swamp witch. They stood at the edge of the forest looking upon a distant mountain range that loomed ominously in shadows.

"Remember," Kira said, her voice low and steady. "No matter what happens, stay together and trust each other. I will leave you here and wish you good luck. "

With resolute hearts, they ventured forth into the darkened woods, weaving silently through the trees until they reached a clearing that overlooked the dragon horse's lair—a vast canyon surrounded by jagged cliffs and smoldering earth where fireflies danced like stars fallen from the sky.

"There it is!" Shadow-cat pointed, her voice barely above a whisper as they observed the massive beast resting atop a rocky outcropping. Its scales glimmered like molten gold under the moonlight, and its massive wings lay folded against its sides.

Shadow-cat's heart raced as she surveyed the area for potential traps. "There must be a way to keep him occupied while one of us grabs that saddle," she murmured.

The dragon horse lay in a clearing, surrounded by his vast treasures displayed on an altar. Spirits of fire danced and played around him, while centaurs patrolled the meadow with bows in hand. Mer-mer and Shadow-cat knew it would be impossible to steal the saddle with so many guards present."We need a distraction," Mer-mer said, thinking quickly. "Something to draw their attention away from the altar.""I have an idea," Shadow-cat replied. "What if we tell the dragon horse that the King is coming with his entire army to steal his treasures?"The plan seemed risky, but they had no other options. With hopes of success, Mer-mer summoned the witches they had made a deal with."Our feline heroes, do you need our help?" the witches asked."Yes," Mer-mer said. "We need to steal the dragon horse's saddle, but we'll need your magic to pull off this illusion."The witches agreed and hastily began concocting their spells. The older witch created a ghost army to cause chaos for the spirits of fire, while the younger witch attempted to turn the dragon horse into a frog.However, as they began their incantations, doubts arose. A dragon horse was a powerful and magical creature, resistant to most forms of magic. But they were determined to try.

"If we fail," the younger witch warned, "the dragon horse will surely be furious."

But they had no time for second thoughts. They set their plan in motion, hoping for success but preparing for disaster.
