Notes:

Alright. This is a story I wrote with a friend a looooooooong time ago. We had both just read "Tailchaser's Song" which is why this story mentions Meerclar. :3 So yeah. Either then Meerclar, all the characters are based on real people. They are humans with the spirits of cats, hence the reason Meerclar visits them. But I'm getting ahead of myself...Ah, one more thing. Katie is allergic to cats here in the real world...which is what makes her dream part funny. Okay, that's all.
Boring disclaimer schtuff: Meerclar is copywrite Tad Williams. As well as some of the cat talk...that's copywrite Tad Williams as well. Aaand the other charries are real people...so they're all copywrite...themselves!


[Meerclar's Children]



One day, when all was calm, and children no longer left for the "le'la" (many birth) or what they called school, Meerclar looked upon the earth for kindred "m'an". She found Julie Hunt, Toni Jones, and Katie Holso. She approached each individually. She appeared to Julie first in a dream.
"My child," She said, "Do you know who I am?"
"Julie looked at her carefully. "You are Her."
Allmother nodded. "You are among the chosen. Your love of cat-kind and of all is great. I want to grant you the art of shape shifting, the element of earth, and telepathy. I shall call you Mrikkin." and with those words, She left.
Allmother appeared to Toni next in her dreams.
"My child," She said, "Do you know who I am?"
Toni examined her. "Allmother?"
Allmother nodded. "You are among the chosen. Your love of your two cats is great. I grant you the art of shape shifting, the element of water, and telepathy. I shall call you Sasha." and with those word, She left.
Finally Allmother appeared to Katie in her dreams.
"My child," She said, "Do you know who I am?"
Katie sneezed. "A cat."
Allmother nodded. "You are among the chosen. You are a kindred spirit and for such, you shall be rewarded. I give you, first, a gift for your allergies. You are no longer allergic to cat-kind. Now, for the real gifts, I grant you the art of shape shifting, the element of fire, and telepathy. I shall call you Shymret." and with those words, She left.
And so it came to pass that Mrikkin, Sasha and Shymret were the children of Meerclar Allmother.
