I am Spes Autem Non, originally known as Hopeflower. I am a lithe, delicate she-cat with long, wavy fur that is silver with jet black tiger-like stripes mixed in. I have a snowy white chest and paws and sky blue eyes. Soft, pink pads stand out against my paws and my claws are thorn sharp and black. At least, that's what I used to look like a long time ago, but let's not focus on that.
You may be wondering who exactly I am and why I am telling you all this. Before we get into that, I would like to share with you a prophecy from long ago, way before the stars even began to glisten in the night sky.
"Hope will blossom like a flower, but beware, for with only darkness and no sunlight, it will wither and become corrupted." Pfft, what a silly prophecy that one. If only I had listened to it...
Anyways, I must share with you my story in order to save you from the same fate I had suffered. However, for you to truly understand everything I am about to share with you, we must begin from the beginning of it all: my birth. Notice how the darkness is turning into a forest full of cats like me. We are here to watch and recall the events of the past. Nobody will be able to see or hear us, so there is no way to change the past. Come, sit next to me and let me tell you my story, the story of Hopeflower...
