Once upon a time there was a white, snowy land in need of a hero. This land was ruled by an evil human known as the Mod. The people living here were magical, and some of them could even turn into animals! The Mod kept an eye on all of his subjects to make sure they behaved. His idea of behaving was speaking properly, only using approved words, and not speaking out against him. Soldiers of the Mod would give those people who were misbehaving something called a time tax. The time tax had people spend the amount of time misbehaved working for the Mod. No one liked the time tax because it took away from friends, family, and having fun.

The cruel Mod was particularly jealous of the special people who turned into animals because he was jealous that he couldn't have that power. To seek revenge on them, he made all of the animal changers do the most boring and least liked jobs of the time tax.

A polar bear changer known as Time Turner was given the job of time tax enforcer. She was very kind and would shorten the time needed to work. Bella, a white stork changer, had to deliver very heavy loads. A harp seal changer by the name of Star Cloak had to fish all day and was only given three fish for each barrel that she filled. The poor animal changers were tired of life under the reign of the Mod, and they wanted to be treated fairly and have a kind and caring ruler.

One day a streamer-tailed hummingbird known to everyone as Mama Molly decided to start a rebellion. She had the heart of a lion and enough love to share with everyone. She had a special place in her heart saved for her little miracle, her son Puppy Padfoot. Padfoot could turn into a little white arctic fox.

Mama Molly wanted to save her son from the Mod's workforce. He was not yet of age to work and she had done her best to protect him from the evil ways of the Mod, but the Mod had ignored the rules before and she feared for her precious Puppy Padfoot.

"Mama, what will happen to me when I have to work for the Mod?" Puppy Padfoot asked her one day. Mama Molly knew then that she could not wait any longer, and that she would have to take action.

Mama Molly made friends with many other animal changers, and they formed a plan. Mama Molly had too much love in her heart to hurt anyone the way the Mod had, even if it was to get back her freedom. Instead of fighting, the animal changers decided to have a peaceful protest march down the main road to the castle.

Halfway to the castle, the group of protesters were stopped by the Mod's soldiers. "Stop or we will have to use force," the formidable leading officer said. He looked like a no-nonsense kind of guy. He had twice the number of men at his disposal than did the marchers.

"We will not stop, nor will we use force to get to our goal," Mama Molly responded. She moved right past him and the others followed.

"Seize them!" the large officer yelled. A flurry of activity occurred and many of the protesters fled from the soldiers. A handful of the more determined animal changers stayed right where they were. Time Turner, Spirit Sparks, Sir Nicholas, M Thorn, and, lastly, Mama Molly were arrested and dragged to the castle.

Inside, the animal changers were shut in the dungeons and chained to the cold stone walls so they could not leave. Soon, a masked soldier wearing all black strode into the dungeon and stood before Mama Molly, towering over her. "Are you responsible for this?" he demanded to know.

Mama Molly was worried by the soldier, but she would not let anything keep her from standing up for herself and all the people who suffered for the Mod. "Yes, I am," she declared proudly. "And we will never back down. You can lock us up, but you could never crush our spirits."

The soldier tore off his mask and glared at her. It was the Mod! "This is unacceptable. Nobody defies the me. Not only have we captured you, but at this very moment my soldiers are hunting for your son, Puppy Padfoot."

Star Cloak burst through the door of Mama Molly's house. "Puppy Padfoot! Your mama has been arrested! She sent me here to get you to safety. We have to move fast," Star Cloak said in a rush. Puppy's eyes were as wide as saucers. He couldn't think or move, frozen in place with terror. "Come on, Padfoot! Mama Molly will be fine," Star Cloak saw his fear, and knelt down, putting her hands on his shoulders. "She would never let that nasty Mod come between you two." She gave Puppy Padfoot a quick hug and finished packing his little backpack.

A truck could be heard driving down the road to the house. The house was a nice, cozy place to live for Mama and Padfoot. He could play in the snow banks out back and Mama had a nice little garden inside. They lived on the outskirts of town and could hear anyone coming down their road. Star Cloak peeked out the front window. "Are they here?" Puppy Padfoot whispered anxiously.

"Go out the back, Padfoot! You know the terrain better than anyone else I know. I'll keep them distracted while you run as fast and as far as you can." Star Cloak ruffled his hair and gave him a big smile. "Your mama is so proud of you. She always says you are the sweetest, kindest, most helpful little boy she could have ever dreamed about. Now shoo." Puppy Padfoot put on his backpack, turned into his little arctic fox form, and ran into the snow filled landscape.
