A Cats Musical/CO world Crossover

Chapter 1 "The Prophecy of the Gods"

If you look in the human Bible, it will tell you how God made the Earth, Man and all the animals. But if you ask a cat, (or any animal for that matter) it will tell you a whole different story…

While it is true that God made Earth and Man, the first creatures he created were the gods and goddesses the animals worship today. For the cats, he created the majestic Goddess Vivat who was said to have eyes that shined like diamonds. After being set on earth, Vivat used her heavenly powers to create all the feline creatures in the world from the mighty lions to the simple house cats. For many thousands of years, life seemed like it was perfect. But things began to change; the cats soon began to quarrel amongst themselves and evil began to take hold of their hearts. By this time, Vivat had grown old, for she had lived the full life of a goddess. Before her life ended, she gave birth to a son, Felis, who was said to have the power to control the stars. She left him on earth to stop the evil from spreading. For many more years, he fought against the evil and had many followers. He healed countless heart from darkness and soon the black shadow of evil around the cats was lifted. While most of the cats were forever grateful for Felis's kindness… two cats were not. They called themselves Fire and Hate. In the dead of night, they broke into Felis's room and slit his throat while he slept. His followers were heartbroken and howled an ancient song as they laid him to rest:

We will wait until the end
When the pendulum will swing back
to the darker side of our hearts bleeding
We will save this empty space
next to us like it's a grave
where we lay a place for us to sleep eternally together

We have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were
A ghost of you
is all that we have left
is all that we have left of you to hold
we wake in the night to find there's no one there but us
and nothing left of what we were at all

So here we are pacing around this house again
With pictures of us living on these walls
We see our breath in the cold of the air that we breathe and we're wondering
We're wondering if it's you that we feel if it's you that we feel here haunting us forever

We have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were
A ghost of you
is all that we have left
is all that we have left of you to hold
we wake in the night to find there's no one there but us
and nothing left of what we were at all

and we're not looking for
anything but us
anything but what we were
and we're not asking for
painted memories
we only want to know you're here

A ghost of you
is all that we have left
is all that we have left of you to hold
we wake in the night to find there's no one there but us
and nothing left of what we were at all
A ghost of you
is all that we have left
is all that we have left of you to hold
we wake in the night to find there's no one there but us
and nothing left of what we were at all

But one day, Felis appeared to his followers within their dreams. He told them not to morn over him and that he was up in the Heaviside layer with his mother. He promised them that when their time has come, they themselves will journey to Heaviside layer where they will stay until they are ready for a new life. Most might think this was the end of the story of the two gods, but hundreds of years after the death of Felis, a Fortune teller named Raridus foretold a prophecy that one day Vivat and Felis will be reborn and save cat-kind from the greatest evil they've yet to face!

*Slam* a young German Rex kitten with white scattered throughout her ginger fur and a star studded collar slammed an old book closed. "So my tarot cards were right; something big has happened." Her gray-blue eyes glimmered as she picked up a card next to the book, on it was a large wheel with a cat running across the top; the wheel of fortune. "Could… could Vivat and Felis have come back to life?"
"These happenings are far greater than you think, Nachteria." She turned to see an old white and gray queen; a cane in one paw and a crystal ball in her tail. "What do you mean, Mistress Shira? Is it the great evil the book mentioned?" The white queen pointed her cane at the young kitten. "You have already witnessed great evil, young Ria," the kit glanced down at a large scar across her left flank, "that old book never states that the 'evil' is or isn't already in this world."
"So the prophecy really is true, Mistress?"
"It has been in my family for generations. But as I've taught you, child, we Fortune tellers must let the future run its course." Old Shira picked a card up from the deck; a cat hanging from a tree by its tail… the hanged cat – Suspense! "And the future is always full of surprises…"
