Leo [Ch.5]

The forest jubilated on their victory with minimum damage. What was lost would become robust and more magnificent then before. She notices Leo on the corner of her eye and walks up to him. She jumps up to a platform near Leo, who is gradually disappearing.

"How are you real, how are you able to be here but not be here?", She asked her curiosities getting the best of her.

"I suppose you could call me a ghost, but that doesn't make me anything less alive. Animals possess the ability to perceive us always. I am present, but I am not present", He solemnly says. He utters with solemnity.

"I thought you said you had magic inbued in the crystals, why are are you fading away?", Whitey asks swiftly.

"I was already pushing my limit long ago," Leo said, bending his neck to look at Whitey.

Whitey pleads, "You can't leave now, everyone in the forest looks up to you."

"That is what unicorns are for!", Leo leans closer to Whitey's body.

"I'm just a cat that will grow old and die," unable to keep eye contact and looks at the ground.

"Unicorns are immortal but can be killed. But when one dies another will take its place", Leo states matter of factly.

Leo's explanation left Whitey a bit confused as she looked up at him and paused. She jumped down and looks at herself in a spring.

"I'm not a unicorn, Leo. I am still a cat. I just have a horn now", she says looking up to meet his eyes.

"Silly Whitey. You are a Caticorn and you will live much longer then normal now. Plus, last I checked cats have nine lives" He grins at Whitey. "Do you know why you were choosen?", He lifts his brow and turns his head.

"Because I lacked purpose?", Whitey chortles turning her head away.

"No, because you have a strong heart. That is why Serena choose you. Because you have the strength to forgive and the first thing you did with your gift was to help others. The animals of this forest wanted vengeance but you demanded for clemency. You are worthy, Whitey. You have a strong moral compass", Leo raises his head.

"Serena?", turning her head quickly to meet his to get an answer.

"It is time, little Whitey. I shall entrust you with the crystal forest. I hope you don't mind if I gift you this". he lifts his head up and closes his eyes and fades away in the air.

"Wait, I still have questions", she impores him.

"Just follow your heart, little one", His voice fading away.

The crystals are pulsing as Whitey is lifted into the air. Whitey looks nervous in the air, but she stops when she sees something in the corner of her eye. She looks beyond and sees a faint outline getting closer and focuses on the figure.

"Serena?", Whitey eyes beseeching for any kind of answer.

"Thank you Whitey, Me and Leo can finally rest", she smiles and disappears.

Whitey was enveloped by a mystical aura, and a radiance of light enveloped her, transforming her. Leo had given Whitey wings. She was born again. The animals of the forest have acknowledged Whitey and lowered their heads as she passes by. With her final transformation, she now finds herself amidst the forest's creatures. Like many of her kind, Whitey's story begins as a small village feline. In the crystal forest, she had became a forest caticorn. She jumped at the chance to find a mythical forest, leaving behind everything she knew. The forest was her calling, but more importantly, she was helping others and following her heart. When an animal needs her help, she runs into the forest and up into the sky. Faster then ever before to get to them. Prehaps we all can fly, we just need to be brave enough to lead with our hearts. Just go for it!

My bestie is struggling with the fiat system and even with encouragement she still will not join this bandwagon. This issue is not solely hers, but affects all of us as we continue to operate in a fiat-based system. It is challenging to transition to an all crypto-based system unless one has substantial assets from 5-10 years ago.

One thing I've noticed is that people love Unicorns, Cats, and animals. But many people don't love to talk about money/fiat because lack of resources. The Nostr community has a lot of great content about Bitcoin and Nostr. However, for some that might not be enough to persaude the masses to follow. I hope that my readers will spread my stories to encourage people to join Nostr to read them, and with some consistent bitcoin memes, get on board. This is why I am write.

Help me spread Whitey story and get another 1000x people into bitcoin! Zaps are always encouraging, thank you!
