Prologue

A small bush rustled quietly as the orange-furred shape slunk out of the shadows, its paws making no noise on the forest floor. The bushy, white-tipped tail of the creature bobbed gently above its head. The fox was looking for something.

The moonlight cascaded down upon the clearing in which the fox was standing in the middle of, creating mysterious shapes and shadows on the rocks and twigs on the ground. The fox crept forward, heading towards a clear pool of water in the center of the clearing. Its head dipped down when it came to the small glassy puddle. A trickle of water flowed away from the pool, keeping the water running.

The fox perched at the edge of the pool and stared into the water, its large amber eyes glittering with an inner light. Suddenly, a reflection appeared on the mirror-like surface of the water. The fox didn't move but kept its eyes fastened intently on the pool.

The reflection swam drunkenly and then broadened, focusing itself into the shape of a fox's head.

"Welcome to the GlassPuddle," a melodic voice echoed from the water itself.

Still, the fox sitting by the water didn't move.

"It's good to finally be here," the fox replied stiffly.

"You look preoccupied, Acerbitas," the voice noted, "aren't you happy with your new position as leader?"

"Of course," Acerbitas replied hastily, "it's just that Macresco has been getting dreams from you. He asked me to speak to you and the rest of the Star Walkers about his dreams."

"Ah, yes," murmured the voice, "so the Fire Tails' own Curer can't figure out our prophecy? A shame, a shame."

Acerbitas shifted uneasily. "Please Maiores, tell me."

"Very well. But don't get used to this," Maiores said, his face shimmering on the pool of water.

"Thank you! The Fire Tails are in debt to you as always," Acerbitas said excitedly, his long, elegant tail swishing around.

The face in the pool seemed to enlarge and when Maiores spoke again, his voice was harsh and high-pitched, "A two-toned cat, out of all creatures, will smooth the ruffled fur of the Fire Tails and bring peace to us."

Acerbitas jerked back, his eyes opening even wider. He glanced around the clearing, making sure he was alone.

"What does that mean? A cat? Are you sure?"

"When the time is right," Maiores said, his voice returning to normal, "the Star Walkers will reveal who this cat is to you."

"You can't be serious," barked Acerbitas, "a cat? Are you sure you've got this prophecy right?"

The fox in the puddle growled, his lips parting dangerous. Acerbitas took a step back from the pool, intimidated.

"I am serious. So you better get used to the idea," snarled Maiores.

"Yes, yes of course."

"And Acerbitas?"

"Yes?"

"You might want to start learning how to speak cat."
