Our story begins, unlike most fairy tales, in a dark place. Deep in a dark forest, dark cats waited around a dark pool with a dark purpose. Suddenly, the pool began to glow dimly. The two cats watched as a tall, imposing female two-leg followed by two she-kits entered a large house, casting a shadow over a young she-twoleg whose smile faltered.
One of the cats smirked. "So it begins." He growled, the light from the pool casting a scar crossing his muzzle into high relief.
"But Tigerstar, are you sure I have to-" his companion began to whine only to be cut off by a vicious snarl.
"Go, now!" The first cat commanded. Still grumbling to himself, the smaller cat touched his nose to the pool and vanished. Moments later, a dark-striped kitten with red eyes ran up to the tall human who cuddled him.
The first cat watched in satisfaction. "It has begun. The clans shall not survive without the nightingale."
