Prologue

The sun blazed through the forest, scorching everything in it. Soon enough, a tree smoked, and caught fire. Around it, other trees caught fire as well, and between the falling trees, two cats ran. "Hurry up, Sun!" a small black and white cat called behind her to her brother. "What about mother? And father?!" came the reply from behind. The young cat narrowed her eyes and stopped. Her brother skidded into her. "What was that for?" he squeaked angrily. The cat called Moon turned around and her dulled gaze met Sun's bright eyes. "They're dead, Sun," she said through clenched teeth. "Now let's run!" The two littermates ran on, unsure of the path ahead of them, but still they ran.
