Epilogue: Kitten in the Night
All was quiet in the realm of Edenia. With the fall of Shao Kahn peace had befallen the ancient city, for then at least. Stars filled the sky, the moon shone bright and low, a cool breeze swept though the city gardens.
Up in her chamber beside the palace walls Princess Kitana sat by an open window. It had been days since her return. Liu and Kung Lao had yet to return, she was concerned for them but then no news did not necessarily mean bad news. Ermac had not returned either, did she expect him to?
As the Princess sat in a mill of thought her playful kitten Kat-ana wandered along outside onto the steep palace walls.
The feline was normally quite careful but on this occasion a misstep caused her to slip and fall.
Curiosity killed the cat, but not this cat. As the kitten slid she did cry out, that got Kitana's attention. The Princess panicked at first but then she saw something. As her kitten fell an emerald glow suddenly began emanating from the creature's feral body. Kat-ana, quite bewildered by the whole ordeal, then floated back to the surface of the walls.
Kat-ana had been saved, and perhaps- Kitana thought- now all the realms could be saved too…
