Herobrine made his way to his office. He was greeted with his loyal cat sitting on his brand new desk, a diamond embedded collar around his neck. Hanging from the collar was a tiny creeper head pendant, symbolizing royalty. The cat mewed and pawed at the pile of papers on his desk. Herobrine took a document and read it. It was a description of a random person. He looked at the other documents. Each and every paper had a description on a different person.

He sighed. This was work sent from the Aether. He noticed a shorter pile and saw a familiar face on the first document. It was Adam. Right above the picture, was Herobrine's own scrawl.

'Revived, will live on until his time comes.'

He looked at all the other documents, they were those who he had given their verdict to a few days prior. Seto, Killia, Mitch and all that. They had the same words above their pictures like Adam. These people were already studied so Herobrine kept them in a drawer nearby.

It was horribly messy, how the untouched documents were piled up. Herobrine snapped his fingers, conducting a quick sorting spell. Herobrine requested that the papers should be sorted out in alphabetical order. Herobrine left the spell to it and got a quick shower, since he did not really take one back at Sky's base. He had been given 15 minutes to clean up back in the South but he took that opportunity to get to the dead Shifter's body.

Herobrine smiled as he quickly put on his new clothes. He surely had to try out what the Shifter had given him. He looked at his cat, who stared back with large green eyes. The Shifter only was able to take forms of those he killed. Herobrine took his time and worked on altering it a bit. It was even more illegal, and extremely difficult, but he managed to make it so that he could shift into creatures or people he's seen before.

He stared at his cat and focused.

Herobrine felt himself shrink and he closed his eyes for a moment. He opened his eyes once he heard someone unfamiliar speak, "Who are you?"

Herobrine was met with the enormous wooden desk. He looked around, the room had grown much much more bigger now. He looked up at the edge of the desk and saw his cat stare down with narrowed eyes and teeth bared.

Herobrine jumped when the cat hissed, "Where is my master? What did you do to him?"

Herobrine raised a paw. Startled, he looked down and saw two white paws. Herobrine grinned in delight as he looked back and saw a gray striped body with a bushy long tail at the end of his rump.

He looked back at his cat, "I am your master. Surprise, I guess?"

The cat leaped down and stared at him. After the tom of surprise, green eyes much more larger.

He yowled, "B-But... You were human! And then you disappeared and now you're a cat? I know you aren't a normal human but I never heard of this!"

Herobrine gave a purr of amusement. The Swede-turned-cat then said, "By the way, I could talk to every creature except you. Is there a reason behind it? I don't even know your name."

The cat licked his paws before answering, "The name my mother gave was Erin. I always thought you knew my name. Also, I have no idea either. It goes two ways I guess, I have no idea what any other humans are saying. Ever since I met you, I could only understand you. I figured you learnt how to speak cat or something."

Herobrine flicked his fluffy tail once before giving an understanding purr. Suddenly, he felt something itching behind his ear. Grumbling, he reached out his hind leg to scratch at that spot.
