Prologue:

“Darkness, everything you see before you was created in darkness,” The room itself was dark. Not a normal dark, one of those mysterious kinds of dark. A match was struck and it flickered softly, illuminating the clawed hand that held it. The flame was brought slowly to a dreary looking candle that had obviously seen better days.

The match was tilted towards the already charred wick, where the hungry flames took to it greedily. The candle’s glow brought into light the rest of the room which looked like the inside of a rather large tree. The owner sat silently in a tiny stump like chair and scribbled down sentences into a worn looking book that was bigger then him.

He was tiny, with large eyes that took the shape and color of beautifully cut sapphires. His gaze starred at the paper before him before he looked up. He smiled sincerely, his grin looking as though it belonged to a devilish beast. His voice was smooth, though one might have expected something courser.

“Hello there child,” he said into the nothingness as if knowing someone was there. “Please, do come in. Welcome, to the world of Htrae. In Htrae, creatures are created, not born. In Htrae, everyone shares the same seven mothers, the all mighty creators who brought forth this world where fantasy is reality.

“My name is Keeper. I watch the gate to this world and chronicle the stories of its inhabitants. In fact, I’m writing one now.

“It is the tale of a cat. It all started on a fine day, on a busy street, in a city, that dwelt in the heart, of Htrae…”
