XALBAGA - The Cat God

In strange heavens, Xalbaga reigned in demonic power as the head of a dark pantheon of old gods. His terror spread across thousands of years until, while meeting a monk on earth to battle one day, he met a stray cat.

The cat had no armor, and no weapons but rolled on its back and wiggled in the dirt. Xalbaga, without thinking, immediately began petting and scratching the cat, as the monk watched from the bushes. The monk knew that the cat had a better chance of overcoming the great demon, than a thousand warriors, and he was right. Soon Xalbaga was on the ground trying to please the stray and hold it in his lap.

No demon god had succumbed so quickly, and Xalbaga soon began the worship of cats on earth, where he kept watch over the wretched little stray that had changed his demon ways with little effort, so long ago.
