<strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Catacombs - Beneath the City</span></span></strong><br/><br/>The calico Cat was just ridiculous, but the veiled Mother Tabitha was the individual that caught Leona's attention.  While her brother had remained unharmed for most of the short scuffle, Leona was no quite so sure he would remain that way.  The allusion to her mother caused her body to run hot with slowly boiling anger.  Leona was not in the habit of recalling her mother so easily.  Their repetitive and clamorous chorus inspired a deep fury.<br/><br/>Her stomach knotted as chose not to look at Leonaar who was still gagged.  They were push down the aisle and at several points other cats would come to assist with the removal of her hand bindings, then her armor, and finally her clothing.  The threat of Leonaar's life kept her from initially lashing out as her hand ties and mouth gag were removed.  It was not the robbed ones with their addled minds that Leona wanted to sink her paws into, it was the veiled orchestrator.<br/><br/>When the last of her undergarments were nearly ripped off, Leona cuffed the nearest robed figure she could reach.  Her mighty paw sent the male cat to the ground with a holler, but none moved to lunge or restrain her.  Still standing on the aisle in front of the alter, she defiantly dared anyone to come within arm's reach.  Her anger and determination were exuded in her aura and she still seemed deadly regardless of being stripped to a vulnerable state.<br/><br/>Growling, even flashing her teeth in a disgusted look at the veiled cat, Leona took a few long steps toward the alter.  "I command you to release my brother and me, at once!  Remove your veil, Cat, so I may see your face!"<br/><br/>
