The rats scattered at my daring assault, but the kyūso stood firm, baring its teeth and hissing. Undaunted, I carefully calculated where its head was, screamed, “Die!” and thumped it with my body as I passed.

It was a brilliant blow, if I do say so myself!

Its muzzle swung, and it snapped at me. A tug on my tail feathers sent me spinning. The room blurred, and grinning faces swept past me.

“Squaaaak! ¡Holy Día de los Muertos!”

Thick vines climbed the walls all around me, and skull-shaped fruit hung from them. They burst into laughter as I entered the chamber. It was all I could do to avoid colliding with one. I turned just in time to escape disaster, only to see the kyūso lunge at me. “Awwwk!”

Behind it, there was a blur of motion. “Sumika!” I cawed.

“Take that, you nasty thing!” she yelled as she whacked at it with a piece of wood she’d picked up. What a girl! That was my mistress: Molly Wackum.

She missed, of course, but the huge rat dashed away and disappeared into a hole.

“We did it, beat off the foe. What teamwork!” I crowed.
