The Royal Palace of Kittlefdora is magnificent for all Kittlefdorians to see. Unlike the green and earth-coloured houses of the Kittlefdorians, which are close to the ground and seem to be part of nature and a natural extension of it, the palace is a very large building for the royal family of ten, striking in its contradiction of white, sharp and rounded lines, with windows painted in more than one colour.
Unlike the magnificent palace, few people know where the Council House is because, unlike the palace, it was built to hide rather than to be seen. Once inside the hollowed-out stump of an old sycamore tree in the wooded area at the head of the slope leading up to the palace, a leafy cover was lifted and a tunnel led down. After a short and stifling walk, this tunnel rewards the staff and the visitors with a spacious openness. The lighting here mimics the sun, giving the feeling of being outdoors.
On this day, the faces of those attending the committee meeting are a little worried.
Rebel?
Kittelfdora is a very peaceful place. No one could understand why anyone would rebel against this land where everyone was happy.
No one knows the location of the portal except the senior members of the delegation and the agents assigned by the delegation. However, it has been observed that the portal has been active for some time, as every time a Kittelfdorian passes through it, the colour of the portal turns blue and remains so for 24 hours.
Trivus said: ‘There have been unauthorised crossings for some time. We don’t know who is passing through or when they will return. But we have received word that there is a group on Earth. They have made contact with the Exkomunikados.”
The Exkomunikados were the Kittelfdorians who crossed the portal from Kittelfdora to Earth, focusing on the good in humans, bonding with those they adopted and never returning to Kittelfdora.
But the rebels wanted to take this to the next level. They wanted humans to be able to come to Kittelfdora, using the bi-directionality of the portal, which was the nightmare of Trivus.
“We can’t do this alone” Trivus said, “we have to go to the palace.”
“No, no, no, Cali, that’s not going to happen, that’s not going to happen, that’s not going to happen” Sambla looked fed up.
“The meow is the sound they think we make for some reason and they don’t know that we understand their language and they don’t know that we can speak it and they shouldn’t. It suits us that they think cats are stupid. But the intonation of the meow is important. Let’s try again. ”
“Meeooww!!!”
Sambla’s face changed from shape to shape.
“Cali, this is the first sound you will make as the first step of seduction. Humans are interesting creatures. If you seem too eager, you can’t win. But if you run away completely, they get bored quickly. You have to let them feel that you like them and you’re warm to them.” Sambla said and continued speaking quickly.
“The sound you make should make them curious. You should be tender, tearful and warm at the same time!
Now listen to me, Sambla made a perfect seductive meow sound…
Cali fell asleep to the sound. He curled up and started purring.
“Hah, you see. That’s the effect you have to create; Peace and curiosity… Arousing curiosity is the main characteristic of cats. Be mysterious!”
Cali took a deep breath. He thought of Kittelfdora. The flowing rivers, the pink trees, the day he and Dora had walked through the forest… He softly opened his mouth and made a graceful meow sound.
Sambla exclaimed with joy, “That’s it, you made it !!!”
