Episode 0 – Why Am I Fighting Mega Neko?
–[]–MC!S–[]–
The first thing I notice when I'm walking home from school is cats
lots of cats
lots of giant cats
lots of giant cats getting very close to me
This is pretty unusual. In retrospect I should've been paying more attention but Onii-chan is gone for the week to who knows where. I just know him and his "friends" are up to something. I just know the vacations just an excuse. He didn't even say goodbye! Erica just grabbed him and ran for the airport monday. I'm perfectly within my rights to worry about my poor weak willed brother. Spacing out a bit is perfectly fine! Even if the teachers get a bit mad sometime. It's the duty of a little sister to worry about such a pathetic brother! So what if I didn't notice a few-
"meow"
Right, not the time. Divine beasts like these pop up from time to time apparently. This many at once, however, means that there's certainly a heretic god controlling them. Slowly I back away and take out the small lighter I've taken to carrying around (I'm not a delinquent!). As quickly as I can I chant those unforgettable words I never heard before in a language I didn't speak.
Hearths of Rome
Hearths far away
Lit by mine fire
Carried through lands unknown
Set ablaze this, a land far away
And make this conquest another piece
of This Mine Hearth
Even as I finish the last line of the aria the glow of embers surrounds me summoning the garments I first envisioned as belonging to a protector, guardian of my home. The outfit of Magical Girl Sorami appears from the red hot embers.
. . .
. . .
As always I curse Onii-chan for bringing home those dvds he got from his friend.
. . .
. . .
The ember glow quickly spreads away from me, covering the city in a circular wall reaching as high as the eye can see and giving everything a slight tint of orange. The people in the streets are instantly frozen, made invincible and immobile by the Hearth's protection. The cat's that surround me look warily at the new surroundings and bump off the objects they previously plowed through. They mill about, confusion evident, before all of them stiffen and once again become calm.
Two lionesses besides a robed woman walk through the cats as they meekly bow and move to create a path for the three. The source of all this trouble walks up to me and halts. Calmly she raises her scepter, an intricate thing with carvings of cats running up and down it and topped with a golden sun, to eye level. Her feline eyes stare at me unblinking, set in the head of a black cat.
"Thou art the God-slayer of this land?" She demands as the cats once more turn to look at me.
"Yes." The answer is just a formality, she knows what I am just as much as I know what she is.
"Then thou shall be remembered as my first victory over these lands."
And with hardly a pause the heretic goddess fires a brilliant blast of light from her scepter.
I can't help but think that, somehow, this all Onii-chans fault

Author's Rant/Considered Discourse:
First – thanks for reading.
Well I did it. I finally posted a story to the internet.
That little submit button taunted me so many times before I had an idea I really liked but now I'm the one laughing (or I will be by the time I finish writing this, talking to the future is hard.) I've written a few things before but this is the first time I've decided to post and I'm about as nervous as anyone.
As of writing this (9/19/13) I only have this prologue done for this fic but I've actually do have the rest of this wonderful mess semi-plotted. I hope to continue this to the end (and I do have an end) but if not I'll go as far as I can. So tell me your thoughts, incoherent ramblings, and wrathful hatred. I thank you for whatever you choose to write.
