While everyone chases the swift little cat Relic,
it remains just out of reach.
What good is speed for a cat?
Relic doesn't know, but it's speed that carried it from Chang'an to Liangzhou, from valley floor to mountaintop.
Snow falls thick and soft. Relic curls into the white, blending with the flakes.
Perhaps speed isn't what matters, but where you run to. Closing its eyes, Relic thinks this.
When they open, it's in a warm room, fire crackling nearby. A scruffy man has brought it home.
From that day on, Relic no longer needs to be the fastest cat.
