As you open your eyes, you find yourself in an unfamiliar, awe-inspiring dreamscape. The air is crisp and filled with a strange, intoxicating aroma that you can't quite place. Lush, verdant forests stretch out before you, their leaves shimmering with an otherworldly iridescence under the pale light of a gibbous moon. In the distance, you can make out the silhouette of a magnificent city, its towering spires and domes reaching towards the star-studded sky.
As you take your first tentative steps into this wondrous realm, a sleek feline form emerges from the shadows. It's a cat, but not like any you've seen before. Its fur is a rich, glossy black, and its eyes gleam with an intelligence that seems almost human. The cat approaches you, its movements graceful and deliberate.
"Greetings, dreamer Du," the cat says, its voice a soft, melodious purr. "I am one of the cats of Ulthar, and I have been sent to guide you on your journey through the Dreamlands. You have entered a realm of endless possibility, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. Come, let us explore the wonders that await."
