"It's time."
As the words reached his ears, Whisker couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"I'm going to miss this peace so much."
"On the bright side." Atticus didn't take his gaze away from the sky. "The end goal to all of this is eternal peace."
"You're making it sound like you want to kill me."
"I can't say it hadn't crossed my mind."
Whisker gasped dramatically. "My star actor! Has our relationship been one sided all this time?"
Whisker looked genuinely pained that anyone would want to take pity on him. But he wasn't dealing with novices.
"I thought I made it obvious?" Atticus didn't even spare him a glance.
"Lazy idiot." Ozeroth added fuel to the flames. "It just goes to show how useless you are."
Whisker slowly shook his head. "This is… shocking," he said in a sad tone. "Perhaps I'll go somewhere I'll be appreciated."
"Ah!" Ozeroth burst into laughter. "At this point, not even the unranked worlds would accept you, even if you offered to wipe their asses for life!"
