Before the ceremony could continue... suddenly everything seems to slow down, Jessica last statements were on slow motion until everything froze. Except you.
Uh?
"Uff, good thing I know some time spells. That was a close one!" You know the voice!
"Grandma?" You saw the elderly woman come into the altar, she looked around with a grimac÷.
"Ugh, so many cats." She shuddered "Never liked why people can like those damn little pests." You chuckled, she was never a cat person, prefering dogs. "Good thing I came here, I could sense your distress with the Lexicon, otherwise, I would be having cat descendants and that's a big no from me."
"You do? I mean, the lexicon thing."
"Of course, I have to keep tabs on my only magical attuned grandson." She winked and with a move from her wrist, the collar on your neck was broken, turned to dust as well the pole and ties. "Now let's get out of here before the spell gets off, They'll be angry but they're cats, always angry, demanding and grumpy."
"Yeah, let's go." You nodded, your Lexicon floated besides you and turned your gown back into your original outfit, completed with your stuff on a backpack that were teleported back to you. You and your grandmother escaped from the altar and left the tower through a window, transforming into wyvern-like dragon and in case your grandmother, an owl type hippogriff.
Flying out, up and away from the Cat Tower.
"So... where are we?" Your grandma asked "It's very colorful."
"This is Toon World, where caricatures and toons are real and alive."
"Toon World? Hmmm, I remembered it black and white."
"Well, there can be an town with those very old toons."
***
You two landed on a big plains, just away the toon forest next to a road, you two transformed back to your original forms.
"Well... we're away and far from that tower full of walking illnesses and parasites."
"Yeah.. they'll have a surprise the moment the spell dispels."
"Ehh... I won't say that." She says that.
"What?"
"Well, It's been long while I done timespells, chances are that they were conscious and aware, saw and heard everything and not fully frozen in time." She shrugs "Still, you're good to go and were away from that tower."
You paled a bit, they saw and heard everything, so chances are that they're now in full pursuit to find you and get you but you two went to another room before going out of the tower through the window.
Still.
Jessica was going full on getting you.
"I suggest you get out of this world, immediately, but there is a town with a port by the end of this road if you want to continue here. So I suggest you on getting on a boat or swim in the sea, there is an island nearby too.
"How do you know that also, What about flying?"
"I first landed there and well, I could suggest it too but you're much more exposed as well visible in the air. Sometimes, subtlety is better, I would also suggest shrunking to be less noticiable."
"Right.. what about you?"
"I'm leaving, it's nap time and I'd like to have energy left for casino night." She chuckled but you roll your eyes, your grandmother had a severe case of gambling addiction, good thing that with magic, she isn't losing anything, otherwise, she would've been in trouble long ago. "I won't be able to help you next time so... be careful! In case of fatality or there is no other escape, use the Phoenix Spell" You nodded and she left in a vortex of pure purple energy and then, she was gone.
You, in the meantime, weighted your options lied to you, you simply couldn't return to the forest as it is now. You were tempted to leave Toon World, you just got here and now there are women all around you hounding you and is not of the best kind but it's localized to a single zone but Jessica isn't.. yet you wanted to stay here for a little more.
What do you do?
