Epilogue
4/27/17
Pitch black sky overhead and darkness made it impossible to see anything, except for the green fungus illuminating a sickly glow. A shape moves past the fungus in the dark, and only the sound of paw steps can be heard.
"You're late." Said a voice, a tom.
"Get off my back and be thankful that I came at all." Snaps the replying cat, a she-cat.
Silence grips between the two, as the fungus grows on their silhouettes, until the tom spoke up.
"What is it you wanted to say? You discovered something about those Soulless?"
The she-cat replies, "Redfawn didn't know everything about them as we thought. The Soulless are Dark Forest cats who became so overwhelmed with anger and revenge, that they become monsters of their former selves. But when a Soulless is killed it's either gone forever, or it is brought back into the Dark Forest as if the corruption never touched them."
The tom blinks in the darkness. "I thought when spirits were killed they never return."
"That's what I thought as well. Until I came across some interesting old friends."
"What kind of old friends?"
The she-cat smirks. "Cats from horror stories told to scare kits at night. They were getting better acquainted when I found them."
The tom slowly smiles. "Really?"
"Yes. And that brings me back to my question. Have you ever heard of rebirth?"
Done! Tune in for the second book of A New Dawn, Midsummer Night. :) Kyubi
