['thul]

here's a quote that made these beings laugh when they came across it again... 'thul cut away names to make it less spoilerish for anyone that might read the book in question.

Instead of a sword, [character name] drew out a key and turned it in the locks, then carefully tugged on the door rings. The doors did not shift. He tugged harder, but to no avail. Another Weapon helped, but even their combined efforts failed to open the doors.
[character name] pivoted on his good leg, the lamps casting grim lines across his forehead. “Our way is blocked. We must consider the Heroes Portal.”
The other Weapons did not speak out in dismay, but [other character name] could tell from their heavy countenances they were displeased. It meant gathering horses, riding all the way down through the city, out of the city itself, and losing valuable time.
The white cat jumped down from the coffin rest and landed beside [other character name]’s feet. It rubbed against her leg, purring loudly. Then, with a stretch, it padded off in the direction they had come.

“Or, we could,” [character name] mused, “follow the cat.”

is it normal for elite soldiers, guardians of royalty to follow a cat?
Note: in those books, "Weapon" is a title of elite guards, essentially because they are virtually living weapons.
