00:00In the quiet hum of the house, when everyone is lost in dreams, a silent guardian takes her post, perched atop the sofa, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.
00:11Clear watches over her sleeping family.
00:13Her emerald eyes scan the familiar room, a cozy kingdom of warm oranges and cool blues, where dust's moats dance like tiny stars in the lunar beams.
00:23Every shadow, every whisper of the wind is catalogued by her twitching ears.
00:27She is more than just a pet.
00:29She is a sentinel, a protector robed in fluffy, orange fur.
00:34Suddenly, a flicker.
00:37Something unseen by human eyes, a shadow detaches from the others, moving with an unnatural ripple across the wall.
00:44Cleo's pupils widen, not with fear, but with ancient instinct.
00:50A low growl rumbles in her chest.
00:51Around her neck, the small Egyptian collar, a relic from a forgotten time, begins to thrum with a soft, golden light.
00:59Its glow, pulsating in rhythm, with her steady heartbeat.
01:03The air grows cold, and the ordinary living room becomes a battlefield.
01:06She bears her teeth, a silent promise of defense.
01:11This is her home.
01:13This is her charge.
01:15With a powerful leap, she launches herself into the air.
01:18Time seems too slow as she soars.
01:21A magnificent arc of orange against the darkness.
01:24In her wake, seven ethereal, glowing silhouettes of herself trail behind.
01:29The legendary seven souls of a catmaid manifest.
01:32Her paw ignites with a celestial energy.
01:35A brilliant, star-like burst of light.
01:38She strikes the shadowy figure, and the room erupts in a shower of magical sparks.
01:43The darkness shrieks and dissolves, banished by her courage.
01:47The threat is gone.
01:49As the first rays of dawn paint the room in warm, golden hues, the hero is gone, and the pet has returned.
01:57Curled up beside her slumbering human, Cleo is just a cat once more.
02:01The collar is dormant, her purr a gentle, rumbling engine of contentment.
02:07She opens her eyes, looking directly at you, and gives a slow, knowing blink.
02:12A secret share between you and the guardian, who walks in the shadows.
