OOC: Pelch, "....I didn't know it was on fire."
"I see Quick has made it clear to all that he's ready to die.... maybe. We will do our best for him anyway, but sometimes you need to make a dice roll and I'm not going to say he won't have bad ones. Still he has some karma built up, hopefully it will be enough. Especially as far out in the theoretical boondocks as we are with this. Well gets to it I've waited long enough."

Professor O'Felix nodded. "OK we know the Troll and the Bear Totem are both healers. Cat is not. We may have some ways around that problem. First we have to prepare you. Here is how we are going to start. You have heard of possession? Good I see you have. Well what we are going to do is not quite a possession, cat's independence won't permit it. What we are going to do is summon the meanest, nastiest and strongest FEMALE cat spirit we can summon and order it to take up residence in you. It has to be FEMALE becuase of the mothering instinct. It will tend to protect you more for a short while. We hope long enough for you to break through to Cat."
"This spirit, we hope will give you the magical power that you need to face the Guardian. It will also try to override what Gargoyle is doing inside you. Unfortunately, the bond will not hold so we will have to do this QUICKLY and you will have to be ready to respond as soon as possible. If you miss the time frame by too much due to inattention we will lose everything and the back lash from gargoyle will pretty much put an end to anything we can do. This is a one shot deal. As a cat shaman once said, 'A warrior must focus his attention on the link between himself and his death. Without remorse or sadness or worrying he must focus his attention on the fact that he does not have time and let his acts flow accordingly. He must let each of his acts be his last battle on earth. Only under those conditions will his acts have their rightful power. Otherwise they will be, for as long as he lives, the acts of a fool."
"First you need to understand a few more things before we leave for the site we will be using in the ceremony. If you don't understand the basics and the background you will not be able to react properly when the time comes. Animals are wiser than human beings because they do not forget to behave in the proper way; they remember their original instructions from the Creator. So when you must make a choice make it as a CAT and not as a human."
"Each person comes into this life with an animal helper from the spirit world. Many of the creation stories speak of how our human ancestors shape shifted out of their original animal form to become the people that we know ourselves to be today. Long ago the animals and humans all spoke the same language and because we humans are the weakest physically of the animals, they took pity on us and offered to help us in our lives. But this offer of help came with an attendant responsibility to remember and honor their gifts to us."
"The power animal, the totem animal and animal spirit guide are different terms referring to our partnership with a helping animal spirit that is connected to us for life – if we honor the relationship! Traditionally the totem power animal spirit would first come to the individual through a dream, on a vision quest or pilgrimage to a sacred place of power, or through an encounter with it in the physical world in which it communicated its presence and its availability for relationship."
"The totem power animal offers its power, teaching, medicine, protection, wisdom and gifts unique to its being, to help the person learn and grow in understanding in how to be with it in a good way. For like any other relationship, it can grow or wither based on the quality of attention and energy it is given. You should pay particular attention here because that is what you have done. You allowed the connection to wither away. To help the relationship prosper and to open the doorway for the animal spirit to feel welcome and share fully of its gifts, it is vitally important that the person acknowledge its presence and make a sacred home for it in their consciousness and in their lives."
"It is important to "feed" the power animal spirit on a regular basis with song, tobacco, corn meal, music or whatever the person can share with it that truly honors its being. Also important is to invite the totem spirit in to your body, mind and spirit so it can teach you what it has to offer. Thus it might show you a power song or a power dance through which the person learns about its ability to help them in their lives."
"The totem spirit animal has the ability to enrich a person's life empowering them with its power. It serves as an intermediary between the spirit world and the physical world and thus helps one to realize and potentiate the full spectrum of their multi-dimensional being."
"Soon you will be starting your pilgrimage to Wild Cat Lake. You must find an animal helper in the city, a REAL Cat with an animal power Spirit inside. What they used to call a familiar. It will speak to you and help you. When you have done this during your quest you will be ready for the next step. You must travel alone taking no weapons, no food, no water, no money, no help. You must seek the site we will be preparing at Wildcat Lake with your animal helper and power spirit. It will guide you if you listen to it. Once there we will use the power spirit in your animal guide to help you against the Guardian. Once past the Guardian you must face and placate Totem. Only then will we be able to take the final steps you need."
"Study what I have said. Ask me any questions. Then remove your items and start your search."
