Okay, before I post the story, the explanation for this is that a creative writing classmate brought a cat blanket into camp, so we decided that it was an official class deity thing. So, I wrote this to include in the book. Any questions about how it became a class deity thing or why are welcome in this thread.
Without further ado, here's the story!
She woke up to the smell of papaya, which confused her. It was the middle of the night, and papayas had no place in her room, for she kept no food there. It was far too late for anyone to be up making tea, and clearly, something abnormal was going on. She could smell papayas, and the smell prevented her from rolling over and falling asleep again. So, she did what anyone else would do. In her sleep-deprived state, she clutched the Cat Blanket, and went to face the source of the smell.
She tripped down stairs and hung on the railing to keep from falling and injuring herself. Normally, even sleep deprived, she wouldn't be this clumsy. But this wasn't a normal night. Tonight was the night that she would go and face the demon that had been haunting her- the combined force of the letter "z" and a papaya. She looked to Cat Blanket as her protector, and was not afraid. Surely with Cat Blanket by her side, she could overcome anything.
She was on the main floor of her house, and the time was twelve in the morning. A new day, a new start, thanks to her protector Cat Blanket, the same Cat Blanket that protects us all. And the papaya smell was almost overwhelming. Our protector Cat Blanket had to defeat it soon. A shadow fell upon the window outside her house. It was humanoid, but, in its fervor to live forever, had lost its humanity. It was this being, the being of papayas and Z, that was the danger to the world as we knew it. Once, it had possessed a young boy, using the awakening of Cat Blanket to slip past unnoticed, but, the boy, managing to snap out of his possession through the power of Cat Blanket and his friends assisting the will of Cat Blanket, wielding Cat Blanket as a weapon, had defeated the vile papaya being, and had hoped to create a universe with no cycle of destruction caused by the being of "Z". Through the miracle of Cat Blanket, the boy succeeded, but the vile being of destruction had managed to slip through the cracks of fate and turn up, hoping to make the new universe feed its life as well.
Now, it was the girl's turn. Her turn to wield Cat Blanket, and unlock its power that had been dormant since the creation of this universe. As she stealthily approached the shadow, Cat Blanket reacted to something underneath her house, a deposit of energy crystals, and transformed into a sword with a comfortable grip and a circle near the guard that projected a shimmering blue symbol on it. The blade was pure energy. The shadow, recognizing that pure energy, turned, surprise in its no longer human eyes. The girl needed to defeat it, fast. She quickly used instinct, and swung Cat Blanket at the being, and it shrieked in pain and rage. She tried to dodge the attacks, but she ended up getting a few scratches, although Cat Blanket and its wielder were clearly the superior force. The girl saw the being getting slower, more tired, and realized that one hit would defeat it, stopping it from getting the energy crystals it needed to begin its cycle of destruction.Summoning a large spike of Cat Blanket's energy, she willed the blade to extend, and swung it in a circle, defeating the vile being of "Z" and papayas, and saving this universe from falling into darkness.
And Cat Blanket spoke to her, saying, "The True Cat Blanket, which you wield, can change the future. To prevent the world from falling into darkness, you must ensure that all beings of sentience follow the guidelines which I will set before you, which will ensure that the being which created the cycle of destruction for the old universe does not do so for this one.
You must not eat papayas, as the shadow has power over them.
If you notice a faint smell of papayas, you must use the power of Cat Blanket to defeat the source, as the shadow is possessing them to try to gain a foothold within this universe.
You shall not use the letter "Z" more than 3 times within a minute. Doing so will summon this evil being, and undo the protection which has been cast upon this universe.
Should the evil shadow get into this universe, all the beings of the world must band together to defeat him as soon as possible."
And with these words, Cat Blanket returned to its normal form, leaving the future to the girl who wielded it.
