"Kasheera's Home" by hollywoodshowbox
Her Magtile, Bahtra, curled herself around Kasheera’s foot, providing what little comfort she could. Even though everyone knew that tonus had thick skin, Bahtra knew that Kasheera was feeling lonely. After all, Kasheera and Bahtra only had each other – they would hurt anyone who got too close. “C’mon, bee.” Kasheera called, turning away from the hustle and bustle of the Tyrannian Plateau to look for some place quiet. Kasheera knew that she couldn’t go down into the Jungle – not since the last time, at least. She thought about how her owner had painted her Magma and then just... left. Not a word, not a sign of her owner, just up and disappeared. All that Kasheera had for company was Bahtra, who had also been painted Magma. Initially, Kasheera had been worried about her owner. What happened? Where had she gone? Soon, the worry turned into pain: what had she done wrong? Was she not loveable anymore? Kasheera knew her owner hadn’t officially abandoned her, but she almost wished that her owner had. After all, anything was better than sitting in limbo. But now, Kasheera was just quiet and alone. She had accepted that her owner wasn’t coming back. She also accepted that is was just going to be her and Bahtra.
