Prologue

The coal-black sky was dappled with starlight. Together, the stars and moon shone down on a bed of water, shimmering and tilting the scenery from within the waters' reflection. A light breeze tempered the heat from the surrounding tree-line, translucent leaves falling to the ground in its wake.

The lake water suddenly tussled and weaved, feline shapes rising in the murk. Their eyes were pitch-black; their pelts shimmering with stardust and yet reeking of blood and demise. There was no one around to stop them from peaking the lake, and when they placed a paw on the fertile soil below their pads, the grass underneath turned yellow and hard.

"This is it," hissed one of the cats at the front of the group, "this is where our legacy shall be born."

Caterwauls of praise and victory rose around the cat as his comrades shouted their lungs to the treetops. He smiled, pride and malice twisting his heart, and turned to his cats, lashing his tail for silence. They did as he asked, snapping their jaws shut with clicks and hanging their heads in submission. Silence wained over them all in heartbeats.

"You have been lost," murmured a dark gray she-cat standing beside him, "Ridiculed; deemed unworthy; forgotten and misplaced in your former homes... With us, you have found a new life; a new sense of belonging... You have let revenge of those who have hurt and judged you run in your blood for decades -"

"Now," murmured the first cat, "You have the chance...the opportunity...to ruin them. Ruin them for what they have done to you; for what they have fed you to believe when all it is - all it ever was - a lie. Ruin them for shaming you; ruin them for betraying you when you needed them most; ruin them for the joy of feeling blood rushing through your claws, flesh being seen through your eyes... Do this, my fellow forgotten, and make them see what you can do when someone - your home - makes you feel like nothing."

Once more, the cheers and purrs of acceptance rushed in his ears. As he turned back to the trees, a grin painted itself onto his muzzle; this was it his time had come. There would be no stopping him or his cats.

The sky will fall... and it will be our claws stained with the prize.


Hello there, and welcome to my story. I am super excited about this story whether or not that will show through in chapters is really not able to be explained. XD

The allegiances should be out here sometime tonight if not then, expect sometime tomorrow. :3 I'm quite busy at the moment, so life will probably get in the way throughout the process of writing this story as a whole.

Enough of my blabbering; thank you for reading, and if you feel the need to criticize, compliment, or just say hey… do so! I highly encourage you to it'll help me in the long run to be a better writer in the end. :)
