Chosen-7

The inside of Alexandria's Castle is even more extravagant than the outside. Grand archways are over every door and window, and the curtains are made of pure silk. You sigh at the beauty of everything here.

While Poppy is speaking with two people guarding a room, you find a kitten roaming the hallway. You pick it up and cuddle it, cooing and tickling it.

"Hey, put me down, little girl," The kitten says. The thing that scares you enough to put it down is that the tiny, fluffy white kitten has a gruff, manly voice.

You remember that Poppy had called you 'The Chosen One', so you use this to your advantage. "I would show some respect if I were you. After all, I'm the Chosen One."

The kitten snorts. "Yeah right. I'm going to need some proof."

As if on cue, Poppy comes out into the hallway and says, "Rowan, the Queen is ready to see you."

The kitten looks at you in disbelief. "Oh... you're Rowan... Um... You can cuddle me whenever you want... my apologizes for snapping at you..." The kitten slowly backs up around the corner and runs away, embarrassed.

"Does the kitten have a name?" You ask Poppy.

"Yes. His name is Raleigh. He's the Queen's kitten. She went on a vacation to North Carolina - In your realm - and named her kitten after the capitol because she liked it so much."

"Raleigh's a little... rude..."

"Yeah, I know. You start to ignore his rudeness once you hang around him for a little while, though." Poppy says. Then her eyes light up with remembrance, "Oh yeah! Rowan you still need to meet Alexandria. This way."
