235 New Companion?

After the smoke cleared, Ark could see the cat once more. Although it was still alive, it had returned to its original form, and it was covered in injuries all over. The cat looked at Ark with a wary expression at first, but after a few seconds, it just sat down in defeat. The cat was smart, and it knew that Ark was a lot more powerful than itself. It had no way of fighting back and had already lost the fight. It was over. Ark watched the cat's dejected appearance with some interest, and he realised that this cat was a bit smarter than he had thought. 

"Hey, do you want to live?"

After thinking it over for a bit, he tried to communicate with it using telepathy. 

"Live? Yes."

The cat looked at him with a weird expression, but Ark didn't mind. He was just happy that he was able to communicate with it, even if the cat's thoughts were a little scattered. 

"Then follow me, I'll take you out of here."
