PROLOGUE




Cal Cassia 05/05/999
The Past:

Tessynia Kynlyn, stirred in her sleep. But she was not sleeping exactly, though her sleek body lay in the warm due grass of a tropical everglade, her body slept, but her other body was completely awake... Tessynia was of course in her Astral Form and she was aware of this and it did not bother her. She knew where she was and why she was now in the Astral Plane...

Her body often wonders this other realm, sometimes visiting the past, but sometimes she has been known to have Astral walked into her future. But this time, she had reached a future too far...

One which gave her the greatest shock of them all. She could see and hear all, but no one could see obviously her Astral Form. Tessynia looked far and wide, she searched everywhere for signs...

Where had all of her kind gone? Everywhere Tessynia looked all of the people she saw... they were not people... they were... Aliens! But Tessynia had the gift, the gift of looking into minds, the minds of her own race, but she could as clearly see into the minds of these aliens as she could see into the minds of her own people.

A shock of horror came upon her face as to what she had found in those minds... "No, no, no... this can not be! Oh sweet Goddess... what has become of my own kind?" The shock was too much for her, she was snapped back into her physical body body, what her kind referred to as being the Eatha Body and naturally the astral form was referred as to being the Astral Body, naturally.

Tessynia sat bolt upright with a jolt that shook her body as though waking from a sudden nightmare. What she had just seen, was exactly that... a nightmare.

She then realized that her little ones were still sleeping, they were still very young and innocent. So unaware of the horrors that Tessynia had bared witness to. Tessynia was wise enough to know the difference between the dreaming realm and the Astral Plane and what is future, true future. Not the future some of her own kind believe or think of what the future would be. She had seen many true futures, what she had just seen could not possibly be true... but something deep down inside of her, told her that what she had seen was true.

Which was all the more reason of the shock on her face, why her body shook in response to the cold truth of the future, even though Tessynia made sure to be as quiet as possible, even though she had been in great shock.

Her little ones stirred, they were waking up, as they could sense their mothers unease. "What's wrong Mother?" Asked Lyssa, the eldest of the four girls.
"Yes... what is wrong Mother?" Jo-Jo, Syria and Maia pleaded. Tessynia's eyes filled with tears as she did not want to tell her little ones, of the horror that she had just seen.

But the Soul Bond that Tessynia had with her little ones was strong, stronger than anything imaginable. Her soul and the souls of her children were as... one. Tessynia did not keep anything from her little ones and so she took a deep breath and told them what she had seen.

"Oh my little ones... I have seen a great and terrible future..."
"What have you seen in this future Mother?" All of her little ones asked in gasps of shock, the greatest shock was yet to come.

"I have been to our far distant future, the furthest I have ever been. It is almost impossible to believe, that which I have seen..." Remarked Tessynia between sobs of tears.

"You all know that I am a Time Walker! As my Mother was and her Mother before her and her Mother's Mother before her too, was also a Time Walker. When one walks the Astral Plane but does not go to any one place as such, that is of course is known as Astral Travel, but for those only of the most gifted kin that can walk into the past present and the future are known as Time Walkers.

Though this even among Tessynia's own kind is practically a myth... something steeped only in the legends of old... But Tessynia's children had been taught of the old ways and had no cause to doubt their Mother and what she has taught them. "I have stepped into our future all I saw was... DEATH..."



Cal Cassia 05/05/1999
The Future:


Tessynia had seen something else other than the aliens, but that was her past, this was the future of her world, only it now occupied the aliens... To her, they were aliens, in truth. They were near human like, they had two arms, two legs, etc.

They even lived life near identical to that of the human race, even though Cal Cassia was 13 Trillion light years away from planet Earth, these human like beings even had the same kind of dating system of Earth down to the day, month and the year, but this was not the true Cassian way of doing things.

Cal Cassia was however not the third planet from it's sun, though there was two suns in the Cassian Solar System with a total of 13 planets. This was odd to be sure since there are 13 people to a coven, twelve followers and one high priestess and 5 representing the sides of a pentagram.

It was ironic even that it was at least the fifth day of the filth month, only the year ended in 9 and not 13. A woman lay in the green glades of grass of the tropical forest of Caldera.

She was young, no older than 20 years of age, four children lay beside her, all of them were girls, they were the ages of 13, 10, 8 and 5, each of them had long red hair and cat green eyes, this was a very strong genetic trait in the girls who all took after their Mother, Tara.

Her children were called, Lythia, Jen-Jo, Sara and Morgana. The all woke up the moment they sensed the unease of their Mother who had awoken from what seemed like dream, but not a bad dream... Something had touched her Soul, called out to her and had shown her something that shocked her.

But it was something she knew to be true. Tara looked down at her four girls. "Can't you girls get to sleep either?"
"No Mother, we can't." They all replied at the same time. "We can sense something, but we do not know what it is..."

"I believe I know what you have felt my children." Remarked Tara in a mysterious way, but her four girls looked at her with eager eyes. "Please, please do tell us Mother... PLEASE." They begged, Tara smiled at her daughters and hugged them each in turn then said to them.

"What you had all sensed my dear children was The Calling..." All four girls of Tarra looked at their mother in awe.... "Mother... what is... The Calling?" The all asked in eager anticipation. "Ah now... That is something that goes back to our ancient myths and legends. But the Calling is not a myth and the fairy tails of old are actually true... we were once... a race of... Cats..."

CHAPTER ONE




Cal Cassia 05/05/1999
The Future:

Cal Cassia was the 5th planet of the 13 that circled between two suns, Cal Cassia was surprisingly Earth like despite it's distance between the two suns, then again, due to the unique positions of the two suns, there was enough sun light from both suns to help form and support life on Cal Cassia. 5 human like beings lay upon glades of grass that are part of a tropical forest, they had been disturbed from their slumber, they had awoken to The Calling, a force calling them back to their origins, for they have strayed so far beyond their natural evolution.

Tara was awoken by The Calling first and then it had reached out to her four daughters, she sat up and began to tell them of The Calling, they looked shocked, yet they knew they could trust her. She had just told them that they are not originally human.

Their shape and form was very human like indeed, skin, legs and arms, etc. Their ears were nearly almost pointed, not quite like an elf, near cat like they were, but not fully the shape of cat's ears. They were sort of like being between the two, half cat like, half human like.


It was then a surprise and a shock that Tara had said that she and her daughters were once a race of cats... As impossible as that seemed to be since they had skin, much like that to that of a human being, not furred covered. Tara's children believed their Mother in what she had said, though she had a whole lot more to tell them.

"Yes my little ones... It is true, we were once a race of cats.
Something caused us to evolve into what we are now, but through that evolution we have lost our way in life. We have forgotten the old ways and have lost our powers..." The ears of the children near twitched upon hearing those words.

Tara smiled, her children near had cat like mannerisms, others thought her children and herself to be a little odd, but nothing more than that, but sad to say they got teased from time to time, as everyone else acted more human like and were so far removed from their previous behavioral instincts.


All of that had gone, some would argue the loss of acting cat like to be natural to adjust evolving into a human like form. Only that everyone else all over Cal Cassia believe they have always been human like and that is their origins. Suggest to them they really come from cats and you would be locked up or worse.

"Oh yes my little ones..." Remarked Tessynia as she continued to tell her children more. "In our cat form, we had powers beyond your wildest imagination, we were once the Harmonizers to the fine delicate nature of Hyper Strings, an unlimited and very powerful force of energy. Fine streams of energy in fact, but each stream with equal power, forming a single strand, row upon rows of them. Quite literally strings of energy and power, only which we were once not only attuned to, but we kept the strings in synchronous harmony by plucking each string, delicately, with our claws we could do this. Since we evolved, those strings have become unbalanced, discord and chaos now reeks havoc over our world, come the dawn of the new millennium, our world shall be totally destroyed..."

Lythia, Jen-Jo, Sara and Morgana all looked shocked, alarmed even to know that the world they lived on was going to come to an end. Tara gave her shocked children a reassuring smile. "Fear not my little ones, you have heard The Calling, I have heard it, which means, that there is yet hope for you and the rest of our kind."

"How mother?" Lythia asked. Tara smiled at her, then she looked a little sad. " I am sorry that I had to keep this a secret from all of you my little ones. I have had this with me for a very long time and I should have shared it with you, but I was afraid you would not understand, or that you would think me mad or worse..."



Suddenly Tara held out her left hand, with her palm facing upwards, a mysterious glow now surrounded the entire hand, it was a green glow of light that formed into a ball, it pulsated as it glowed. Then, the ball of light vanished and in its place resting upon the palm of Tara's hand was a big heavy thick set furred bound book.

Not leather bound, the book was covered in what look like cat fur, it was the fur of what was close to that of an earth type Tabby Cat, the interwoven shades of browns were unmistakable. embossed in the center of the book there was a symbol in deep red, like blood, the symbol was a star with five points to it.

"This my little ones is the Shadax-zah. I was given this from my mother, as it was passed onto her from her mother and her mother's mother before her, this book goes back many a generation, originally each eldest daughter would copy the words and with a spell duplicate all images from the original Shadax-zah to appear in their own, as it was not only tradition, it was the way of The Sisterhood, for the original Shadax-zah can only belong to the Mother Supreme, the highest and holiest of the Sisterhood."

The Shadax-zah was in a sense very much the same as a Wiccan's Book Of Shadows, but there was more to the Shadax-zah than just being a book of spells. Though it had those too, it was a book of knowledge, all of the experiences and life knowledge of not just the Mother Supreme, but all knowledge, of every cat priestess of each generation of their family line add their own knowledge, even though they use what has gone before.

But as in all things, there is something new to learn all the time and a persons experience no matter how near the same they maybe, they are all unique and individual than another persons experiences. Though with all of that knowledge, you would expect the book to be huge, enormous in fact. But a Shadax-zah is mad and bound by magic with the use of fur and blood.


The book looks thick and it contains all of that knowledge, but without the book getting thicker or heavier as more is added to the book, it is to an extent bigger on the inside so to speak, there are literally over a million pages within one book as each book is made so that each female head house hold has her own if you will, Master copy of the book.

And the eldest of the daughters makes her own Shadax-zah to pass onto her own children, the second oldest female in the family will do the same when she comes of age, strangely enough it has always been 5 females to each generation, so they have to marry into a male family line of cats, which they have done so for many generations.



"This book is the most ancient one there is, other than it's original sister book. For there has not been another made Shadax-zah since our kind of the now evolved, only did the Shendra line keep the Shadax-zah, but had to keep it hidden, for fear of them being killed, when all of our kind evolved, some thought the evolution to be unnatural and committed mass suicide, there was confusion and outrage fro a long time, but soon, everyone accepted their evolution process and began a new life for them selves, but everything that hey once were they left behind, the disregarded all that they once knew. My mothers line could no longer make any more books, so the last of it's kind, not counting the original book of course, was the only one that could be added to and passed on."

Tara's children still looked very shocked, she could understand their shock, all of their lives they have lived and have been lead to believe they are human like in origins. The term Cassian had remained, after all it was the name of their great and beautiful planet, it had not changed, only they... had.


They called themselves at first the New Bread of Cassians, but that seemed way too long and silly and they saw no point renaming them selves with being a new race. So, all of the Cassians of Cal Cassia soon believed they had always been a two legged race always had skin and had never lived as cats.

There was other creatures of course on the planet of Cal Cassia, but there was no other life forms that looked like them, not even bigger cats, like those of Earth, like Lions etc.


Yes, that's right.... the Cassians had once used to be a race of domesticated cats, well... they looked like the domesticated kind of cats, of Earth, only that these cats had a higher evolved form of intelligence and more. Tara tried to reassure her daughters.

"I shall teach you all, everything that is inside of this book. You are to learn of magic, not only that on how to become attuned to the Hyper Strings, they need to be harmonized..."
"But Mother, how will this book help the rest of our kind?" Remarked Morgana in a fit of despair.

Tara went over to her and held her with her free arm, whilst still holding the Shadax-zah. "I have a close friend who has contacts in high places, if I can get her on my side, which I am sure I can, she will help me to take this book and show it to the High President of our world. High President Baltimore is a wise man, a good man and a good leader who I am sure will come to accept the fact that we need to return back to what we once was."

"How are we all going to be able to do that Mother?" Jen-Jo asked... Tara gave her a big smile.
"When and once they accept the truth, they shall hear The Calling, if they all open their hearts and souls to The Calling, then, The Calling will change everyone back to the way they once was before."

"Why did our kind evolve then in the first place Mother?"
"Lythia, how can you talk to Mother like that?" Remarked Sara in shock as to her oldest sister's sudden remark.

"It is all right Sara, Lythia does have a very good valid question. We did not chose to evolve, we were meant to evolve, but also to carry and take forth with us all that we knew and we would have had the ability to turn into cat form at will, therefore, nothing of the old would have been lost. But none of that ever happened, so the race memories of once being cats and our importance to the Hyper Strings became lost, but The Calling was there to help us to remember who and what we were..."



Tara paused, there was so much she wanted to tell her little ones, so much to explain to them and it could not all be done in one night. She sighed, there would be great risk taking this book to her friend and then to allow it to be seen by the highest authority who may even destroy her precious ancestral book. But something had to be done and the Shadax-zah was Tara's only hope.


Cal Cassia 05/05/999
The Past:

Tessynia’s children all looked shocked as she had told them that what she had seen was death. The future of Cal Cassia was doomed. There was something else she now needed to share with her Children. “My little ones, please forgive me... I have kept something from you, I have kept something from you for a long time now and I should not have done so.”

What do you mean Mother?” asked Maia in a concerned tone of voice. “I have something which I should have shown you and shared with you since you were all born. This is what I have been keeping from you.” Tessynia held out her left paw which began to glow and a ball of glowing pulsating green light appeared in the palm of her hand. Her children all looked frightened of her, she reassured them.

There is nothing for you to fear my little ones.” Remarked Tessynia in a calming tone of voice, which helped to calm her children. They all had red fur, which would be odd for any cat on Earth, but these cats were not of Earth origins, though they looked so much like the domesticated kind.

The Cal Cassians were more alien looking kind of cats that had green and purple fur, some Cassians had black or white fur. Only in times long ago did they once look more like the cats of Earth with brown or blue like fur, etc.

But their fur went through an evolutionary color change at the start of the year 500, their intelligence grew with each passing of the year.
The Cassians even developed a special social structure, The Grand Elders, this held the most wisest of all of the Cassian species, as set by their colors. each breed having a different name like the cats of Earth, example, a blue grey Earth cat is classed as a Russian Blue, a multi brown furred cat is a Tabby Cat etc.

The White cats are: Porcelain, the Black cats are: Ebony, the Red cats are: Noble, the green cats are: Jade and the purple cats are: Imperial.
The social structure was a cast structure, the Grand Elder Cast was the highest cast, then there was the Religious Cast, this was the combined faiths into one
holistic universal faith, rather than having a separate belief system.

There was the Guild Cast, this was a unity of those who had different crafts, like making bread to being a Master Fish Catcher etc.
Lastly there was the Warrior Cast, the predatory cats who’s hunter instincts are strong and they are good fighters the best of all of the other cats, where as even the common cat, a Master Baker for example can hunt and kill prey, but their skills to fight with weapons etc...

This they could not do, yes... The Cassian Warrior cats had learned how to make and use weapons. There were Masters Of Arms, an elite group of the Warrior Cast who had mastered all weapon types, very few warriors could master all of the weapons, so there was Sword Masters, Bow Masters and so on.

Of the Guild Cast there were Master builders that built homes, out of trees or natural rock formations, the Cassians lived in what were essentially houses, they did not have TV’s or chairs, since they did not need such things, even though they are intelligent, they had not advanced to creating electricity, nor did they use gas.


The Cassians used candle light and something like coal, but the rocks that burned, burned at a slow rate, with the flame and the heat lasting longer, these coal like rocks, called Charring were put into heat resistant iron containers molded to like a tray with a cage attached all around it and a pole supported underneath it fixed to a base.



The cage section can be unattached and reattached for changing the Charring once it is fully burnt up and there is nothing left but ash. The candle light and these Lamp Burners as those caged lanterns were called added a Gothic feeling to every home that each Cassian lived in.

Tessynia did not live in a home, she lived in the open and and went into caves for shelter and knew how to start a fire should her own fur not be enough to keep her warm.


The Noble Cats of the Cassian species were into nature and naturalism far more than any other Cassian was and that was no problem, all of the different types of Cassian Cats got on with one another and lived in a peaceful co-existence with each other.

Tessynia's children all looked on in shock as a brown fur covered book had soon appeared where the green ball in Tessynia's paw used to be, it had faded and the fur book was now in it's place.


This my little ones is the Shadax-zah... as you can see it is a book bound in fur this symbol and seal is in blood, it came from my many several times great grandmother's fur long in the days when we had brown fur and not red as it is now. The Noble cat line have been red now for a long time, since the great year of our Goddess Gaia. The year five hundred, where everything changed...”

Tessynia paused, tears streamed down her furry cheeks, she took a silk handkerchief from a leather made pouch which she wore around her neck. The Cassians did not of course wear clothes, though they walked on all fours, they did things like light fires etc in a human way, but this to them was a natural way of doing things as well as being able to speak, they spoke however with a purring like quality to their speech pattern.

The language spoken was much like human English, though the humans call it English, this language was far more universal than the human race can ever possibly ever imagine, and it is called by its universal definition as: Uni-Lingual, meaning that it was not of one origin in language, it was spoken by many different life forms that equally call it by their own mother tongue.


Just as the human race call Uni-Lingual, English, since they are not governed by a Universal Treaty of the Universal Alliance. The Cassians had elected not to be a part of that alliance, and no one race was forced to join.

The Cassians feared that their own kind could be heavily influenced by the way other species of life forms live their lives and may want or even demand to live in the same way.

The Cassians were a unique race and if they were to become or even act like all the other races, they would lose their own individuality. And that... they could not allow to happen.


Even in this time frame of Cal Cassia, the Cassians in some ways were phasing out some of their individuality, like combining all of the different faiths into one all governing faith and belief system, that alone caused a war on such a scale that nearly wiped out their own kind. They were not called Cal Cassians for a simple reason, though the planet was called Cal Cassia.

The simple form and term of the planets race just was Cassian, it was as simple as that... “Mother, what is a Shadax-zah?” Tessynia's children asked all eagerly even though the sight of the fur bound book made them feel scared. But again, Tessynia spoke in that calming voice of hers.

“There is no need to fear my little ones. The

Shadax-zah is our most sacred Ancestral heritage.” The term little ones, for all cats between the age of birth to teen years were called little ones, it was an affectionate term, but one that got changed, just like everything else changed since that dark year of 500.

Though to most other Cassians, the year 500 was the dawn of a great new age, it was that in some places, but it was not a great new age for some of the Cassians.


The Noble breed of the Cassian race, being one of those few, sadly however, all of those rare few that tried so hard to keep to their original ways had soon been swayed by the other Cassians.

The Noble breed being the last to conform, but in secret, they kept and practiced the ways of old, being careful not to get caught, it was easier to keep what near to the next last remaining Shadax-zah to have been ever made from the Noble line who had been one known as Marble, not as in stone, but like a glass marble can some times have multi colours to it, the term Marble in Cassian terms meant multi laired.


The Marble cat breed accepted and kept the new term of Noble, as it did suit better to that of the new colour of fur they had changed to, it was a natural change from varying shades of brown, to dark brown, then to reddish brown and red becoming the final phase and dominant color of the Noble Breed, as once was the multi layered of browns was their dominant color of fur.

The cause of such radical changes in fur colour etc was because of the strange energies that were naturally part of Cal Cassia, which became an accepted part of the Cassians life, the day they had discovered this, not in a conventional sense, they just simply all had sensed the presence of that strange energy, they could not understand or explain it.

But it was enough to know that it it existed and the Cassians naturally accepted the strange energy, known that with time, they shall one day come to know and understand what that strange energy is.


Cassians were very much about the simplicity's of life, not so concerned about the complexed nature of things. So the Cassians did not advance in all things, but they were still in their own way and advanced race compared to the Earth type of a domesticated cat.

For those Cassians who lived in houses, had cat baskets the equivalent to that of a sofa, the cat basket would have cushions only.
As there was you see, different types of cat baskets for the Cassians, there was the Sofa Basket, the word sofa was of course Universal and a very natural name to come up with, then there was the Chair Basket, a Litter Basket and there was a Bed Basket, for the Cassians, it was quite natural enough to have different types of cat baskets to serve different functions.

Each one of course varying in size and in shape. A Sofa Basket near resembled something like an Earth type human made sofa, only it was basket like made of Wicker, as in Wicker Baskets. There was a faith called Wyre-Craft. Wyre being a very ancient Cassian name and term, words of the old ways, a word and term banished and even forbidden to even speak of on and beyond the year of 500.


Strangely enough Wyre is the very old form on Earth for Were, as in Werewolf, the the meaning of the two words are very different between that of Earth and that of Cal Cassia. The similarities of the two words are remarkable, yet scary, but that happens sometimes, the cosmos as one wise person once said, is full of many strange quirks.

But mother what is a Shadax-zah?” Tessynia's children asked. “I told you, it is a book of you Ancestral rite. It contains knowledge, it is also a book of Magic.” Tessynia's children's eyes grew wide with excitement, even the notion of magic on Call Cassia was considered to be a myth, the stuff of Legends, mirroring Earth in the belief that magic is nothing more than good parlor tricks.

There was no such thing as in Real Magic! Like there was in Earth of old, Earth had Merlin and Strangely enough Cal Cassia had a Grand Elder of the Grand Elder Cast called Merlynious, however, he was not a great Wizard, although he did not believe in magic, he did however believe in the power of Astral Walking and those who were time sensitive, as he was time sensitive himself.

He brought together the most best and trusted time sensitive of his cast. Sometimes the Grand Elder Cast were referred as just being the Grand Elders, this was acceptable to a point. As the full and proper term was the most important to use. Tessynia smiled at her children to see the look and wonder on their faces and in their eyes.


Do you mean real magic Mother?”
Tessynia's children asked in excitement. “Oh yes my little ones, I do mean real magic.” Tessynia gave a slight laugh, but not to condescend her children, it was a delightful kind of laugh and her children knew this. Oh, by the way, Cassian cats age in the same way as humans, hence why there was a cast of Grand Elders.

Just imagine, a 100 or a 500 year old cat and who such an old cat would look like, not quite grey fur apart from a Porcelain and an Ebony breed, the other breed of cats, their fur just goes a darker and duller shade of their own colour, so Jade would be a bright green when young all glossy and full of vitality. An old Jade's fur would be a dark shade of green, all the gloss in the fur coat all gone and the vitality all gone too.

Only their wisdom will have sharpened with age, as wisdom seldom comes with age. As another wise old saying goes, as one grows old, one grows wise and as one grows older, the wiser they shall be. This was very much true of the Cassian race, they were one of the most wisest of species in the known universe.

I glad you have kept your minds open to the possibilities of Magic my little ones, it is very much real, this book is living proof, for it contains thousands upon thousands of pages and yet this book never thickens and does not get heavier as more pages get added to the book, that my dear little ones is the power of real Magic.”

Lyssa, Jo-Jo, Syria and Maia all looked at Tessynia in awe and wonder... “When our fur had changed color to red, we did not make new books of the Shadax-zah, our powers could be detected by time sensitives, even those like me with that ability can sense all energy, even the power of real magic, something not accepted as fact and such real magic is seen as a forbidden art...”

More tears fell down Tessynia's cheeks, her sadness was felt by her children and they too wept as she wept. “If someone was caught in the forbidden was of Wyre-Craft, which is the nature of real Magic, that person would be put to death. The Summoning of the Shadax-zah however is of an older magic which not even time sensitives can sense, I only know that I have it kept safe within a magical dimension in which I can call upon it. Though I can not sense this dimension, in my soul, I know it is there.”

Tessynia embraced all of her daughters in a big hug, trying to comfort them, as she knew they could feel her sadness too. “As did my Mother and her Mother before her and so on, have known that magical real to be there, the book itself can not be sensed by time sensitives either, which is why I am able to show it to you out in the open of this Eatha plane of existence.”

Tessynia broke the embrace, needing to be serious now, for what she had to say next will not only effect her, it will effect her children too. “I shall teach you the ways of Wyre-Craft, there are so many things I want to teach you all, but... I will need to first of all go to see Grand Elder Merlynious share not only with him my vision of the future, but I shall show him the Shadax-zah...”

Immediately Tessynia's children jumped up in alarm... “What? No Mother, you can't do that, if you show that book to Merlynious, he will have you killed, then he will have us all killed too.”


My dear little ones, you have sisters that not even Merlynious knows of. I am sorry to have kept that secret from you too... But I must do what I must do, if I do not my little ones... All of Cal Cassia shall be doomed...”

Tessynia suddenly vanished before the very eyes of her children knowing that she will most probably never see them again, she knew her children would try to stop her from going, no matter how much she did not want to use magic to prevent them from doing that.

Tessynia used her magic powers, knowing that alone could get her noticed, it did not matter, she headed off towards Merlynious's house, knowing of her fate to come...

A fantasy of Tolkienesque depth and complexity is taking shape here. You are setting yourself quite a task, but the foundations you are laying are both impressive and promising. I also like the subtle nods to modern physics ("hyper strings") that make the magical basis for the story more credible.

CHAPTER TWO




Cal Cassia 25/12/1999
The Future:

Mount Vor of the Vorash Province of Cal Cassia, burned with the fires of Hell, the ground began to bleed rivers of molten lava, earthquakes began to erupt all over Cal Cassia, it did not snow on what humans would call Christmas Day. On Cal Cassia, It was known as All Hallows Wynters Day, Winter being the old form of Winter.

But Hallows in the case of Cal Cassia had nothing to do with Halloween, Hallow means Cold Wake, signifying the wake and fall of Winter time on Cal Cassia, but the Cold Wake of winter brings DEATH...

Plants die, not all plants, everything becomes barren and empty. This is better known as the Hallowed Way, all things are connected to the seasons there for when the Cold Wake starts at the Beginning of Winter, it is referred and known as All Hallows Wynters Day.


Spring time is known as the All Rising Spring, because naturally all things do rise in the Spring time, the Summer is known as All Summer Time and Autumn is known as All Autumn Time, only the Spring and the Winter seasons have special names, one marks Life and the other one marks Death.

But not to the extent in which people were all over Cal Cassia were dying right now.
Falling and raining down from the skies was ash, hot scolding ash, people were running and screaming in all directions. “What is happening? The skies are laiden with clouds of Death, the very ground beneath us opening up and swallowing us all, there are rivers of fire destroying everything in their wake.”

Cried one Cassian civilian as she tried to run for her life, knowing really it did not matter, she would either be swallowed up from beneath the ground, drown and burn in the river of fires, or be burnt to ash by the very burning rain of ash falling down upon her. Those who managed to escape either of these death traps spreading everywhere, took up safety of the Fortress Of Van-Hane.



The Van-Hane Province held the tallest and largest Fortress in all of Call Cassia and the land itself was named after a mighty warrior called Van-Hane and he was a great man of might, which the fortress built in his name well represented that might. The fortress was black and all Gothic looking, it was not a conventional looking fortress, there was no battlements, no draw bridge etc.

This fortress stood in the center of the Cassian Sea, curved spiked towers, like talons and a central near dome like structure dominated the Island of the Van-Hane Province. Lord President Baltimore of all of Cal Cassia was surrounded by hundreds of guards and even they were having a hard time keeping the masses of angry and worried citizens of Cal Cassia at bay.

Why has our own world turned against us High Lord President Baltimore?” Asked one angry citizen?” Marlow Baltimore had the look of shock on his face, he was warned of this day and of the fate that would befall all of Cal Cassia, only now that everything was all coming true. Was he staring to believe what he had been told, so long ago.

I could not have foreseen this?” He lied, he did not like the lie any more than the citizen did. “How could you have not foreseen this? You had us all believe that on the turn of our Millennium, we would enter a second Golden New Age!”
I saw it, how can you doubt me?” High Lord President Baltimore was grasping at proverbial straws and he new it.

He simply did not want to bring himself to admit before all of his loyal subjects that he had lied to them and mislead them, that he was wrong. He was like a king, since the Cal Cassians of this future had no kings or queens, just one high ruling politician, proving even on this world, that politicians can't be trusted.

High Lord President Baltimore was a good man to an extent, but his arrogance had gotten the better of him. Baltimore had been visited one night back in the fifth of May-thorn, Cal Cassians equivalent to Earth's month of May, the similarities are uncanny. Baltimore knew Tara very well and knew of her gifts, but when she had told him of her vision and presented to him her Shadax-zah, he had Tara killed and her daughters too.


He had the Shadax-zah burnt to ash, but everything she had told him was all coming true and he now felt shame for that, he could not let anyone else know his shame. “Then explain to me High Lord President Baltimore, how this death and destruction has fallen upon us all?” The angry citizen managed to ask, Baltimore, had long grey hair, blue eyes and he had a beard to match his hair, looking near Merlin like in his fine robes.

But he did not now look as Grand he had appeared to be, to so many of his subjects that had believed in him. “This I can not explain, I do not know why our world has turned against us, this is not supposed to happen...” Even now Baltimore's arrogance was at an all time high, but the angry citizen did not buy his lie.

I do not believe you... I believe you knew exactly this was going to happen and you took it upon your self not to tell us.”

That sir is scandalous...” Remarked Baltimore, but it was no good, everyone else had taken the lone citizen's side. He smiled an all knowing smile and vanished as though he had never existed... “No, it can't be... was that... Tara?” The question was more to himself than to anyone else.

Only Baltimore had not realized that he had said that out loud. The people of Cal Cassia trued to kill him, they failed, the guards killed, them, not all of them and Baltimore ran for his life, taking a secret entrance to safety, but the ground opened up beneath him and swallowed him whole, everyone else in the fortress of Van-Hane soon all died, as well built the fortress was, it could not withstand indefinitely the chaos and destruction of the wake of oblivion. Come the dawn of the year 2000, Cal Cassia became a dead world...




Cal Cassia 01/01/1000
Past Future:



All of the Cassians all over Cal Cassia awoke to a nightmare... Merlynious was the first to notice it, as he awoke like so many others feeling heavier than normal, as though his entire body had suddenly developed a greater density in some way, his body felt cold, he could not feel no trace of fur on his body what so ever.


What? What's going on? I, I, I feel so strange... why does my entire body feel so much heavier? I am so cold, why is that? My fur, I can't feel my fur... what has happened to me?” Merlynious got to his feet and with a sudden shock he realized he was standing on two legs and not on all fours.

He looked down at himself seeing flesh, where paws should have been, there was now a pair of feet.
His Bed Basket was gone, the Catalyst of Change had destroyed it, the energy that came from it had been huge. Not enough to damage anything else and even Merlynious had not detected or sensed in any way the forming of the Catalyst.

As his body had slept, his body glowed, the same thing happened for all of the Cal Cassians, all of their bodies had become surrounded by a mysterious glow, when they had all been sleeping, this glow became a ball of energy.
That was the Catalyst of Change as it had became known to be called later on.

Merlynious looked dawn at his fore paws, but in their place now was a pair of hands... Merlynious shook his head in utter disbelief... “No, no, no, no...! This can not be, THIS... CAN... NOT... BE...!” Merlynious rushed off to find his full length mirror, of course this was designed for a cat...


He tried to use his powers to make the Mirror bigger, but nothing happened... “No... what has happened to my powers?” Merlynious rushed out of his house, well tried to do so, he could hardly move in his own house, but he managed to get out eventually, he was now like a giant to it. He ran to where there was a lake, he stood near to the edge of it and nearly fell in as to the shock of what he saw nearly made him fall...


My eyes deceive me...”
No, they do not...” Came a sudden voice Merlynious knew only too well. It was shocking enough to discover that he was no longer a cat, what he had just seen in the reflection of the lake was something humanoid looking, it had flesh, two arms and two legs, the ears were near cat like, but not so pointed and big.

Merlynious turned and saw... “No... it... can... not... be... Tessynia But, but, but you are dead...” A ghostly form of a red cat had appeared from behind Merlynious. “Yes I am dead, but you underestimate my powers Merlynious, you had once been a Warlock, a Cassian of great power, but your male ego overshadowed you. I trusted you with my life and you took that life away from me, you took the life also of my children, I shall never forgive you for that...”

Tessynia paused for a moment unaware that her death would be repeated in the same way in a future yet to come. "But you did not kill all of my children...”
What? But it is a well known fact that in the Noble line there is only ever four girls born to one mother in order to complete the Power of Five.”

I am glad to see that you have not completely forgotten the Old Ways Merlynious! I feared that you would kill my children, yes I knew you would even take my life. But my trust in you lead me to trust there was hope you would believe me and not kill me. I took other mates and they each had bared four girls. You would have to kill them all and you probably would, given half a chance...”

Tessynia paused again. “You and all of the Cal Cassians in all of Cal Cassia have become what you are now. Humanoid... it is not a punishment for you killing me, or my children, if that is what you are wondering, the humanoid form is our natural evolution, believe what you will of that Merlynious. We needed to become humanoid in order for our intelligence to grow, and it was growing at a rate in which our small minds were not capable of holding such vast intelligence. Only in humanoid form can we hold that vast amount of intelligence, but there is the ability if you care to learn how to use it, you can transform at will, transform back into cat form and can remain that way, but only for twenty four hours, after which you will automatically change back into your humanoid form. But you can at will, in your cat form at any time turn back into your humanoid form, things are still not too late for you and all of our kind Merlynious...”

Tessynia paused one last time, she was observing how much Merlynious was if in anyway how much he was paying attention to her.
“You and all of the other Cassians have a chance to become the most unique race ever to exist. The Hyper Strings must continue to be plucked to create and keep the balance of Harmony, without that harmony, there shall come a chaos the likes you do not want or wish to see, heed my warning Merlynious, or suffer a fate which our future kind shall all suffer from too.”


Just then... Tessynia vanished, it was true, the Cassians were all as shocked as what Merlynious was, some refused their new evolved form to be part of a natural evolution and that was when the great war broke out which had all of the Cassians wiping themselves out from the face of existence.

Merlynious did not listen to Tessynia, he did try to find her other children wanting to kill them all, but all of the Cassians had white skin, he was half expecting them to have different colored skin as they once had different colored fur.


There was a mixture of blonds, brunettes, girls with honey rose blond hair which is red like in color, but not rose or blood red, if he began to kill any female with near to red looking hair and all that did have red hair.

He would be killed by his own people. Merlynious however among many others died in that great war, it was a miracle that it ended. It was from that point on in time that the Cassians long put behind them that they were once a race of cats, to the point, they soon believed they always had been humanoid...






Cal Cassia 05/05/999
The Past:



Tessynia had appeared near by the Grand Lake which belonged to the grounds of Grand Elder Merlynious's house, which was something that was between a rock formation and a tree formation, somehow the two formations had merged with one another, it was of large size, but it was not the size of a human made house of Earth.


The odd formation was at least a third the size of a human made house, to a cat however, this was huge by comparison. Merlynious had sculpted the outward surface of the formation into a shape that resembled a house like structure. There was windows and two doors, one door at the front and of course one door at the back that lead out to the Grand Lake and it certainly lived up to it's name.

There was a magnificent waterfall that poured into the lake, there was every flower imaginable all around of every color looking like a rainbow on the ground, there were fine marble statues placed here and there which Merlynious had built and sculpted himself, which added to the marvel of the lake, the water was as clear as crystal that one could see the bottom of it that was breaming with all types of exotic aquatic life forms.

The beauty of the lake was simply breath taking, the waterfall looking like falling formations of cotton candy with its thick white rapids cascading down into the lake. Beyond the veil of the waterfall was a cave opening, it was something like out of a fairy tale. Tessynia stopped to take stock of the grand majesty before her, then she walked up to the back door of Merlynious's house and knocked.

Or was about to knock when the back door suddenly opened and there to greet Tessynia with a smile was Merlynious. “Now how did you know I was here Grand Elder Merlynious?” Asked Tessynia, who was a little surprised that Merlynious was already expecting her arrival.

“Come now... You should know better than to ask me that my dear Tessynia. I always know when I have any house guests, I can sense such things. So... what brings you to my humble abode?”


Tessynia smiled briefly at Merlynious remark, then she looked very serious. May I come in please Grand Elder Merlynious? I have something of great importance which I need to tell you.” Merlynious looked at Tessynia concerned, he could see the look of worry on her face, fear even. He gave her a reassuring smile.”
Please do come in and tell me all about it.”

Of course inside of Merlynious's home was anything but humble as Tessynia discovered as she entered into the house. It was equally as grand as the lake outside, the walls were decorated with blue and gold rimmed wall paper, the whole place had a royal like feel to it, there were even marble statues in the grand living room, there was a grand fireplace, a grand father clock in one corner and a grand concert harp in the other corner.

Paintings of various styles hung on the walls between the positioned statues, there were sofa baskets made of real gold, only lined with thick cushioned velvet and filled with the most purest satin made cushions ever made with gold lace trimmed edges to match the gold of the sofa baskets. Merlynious went over to a lone basket chair that nearly was throne like in it's design, only in basket form.

It too was made out of solid gold. Only his bed was made out of Wicker, but it was of course the finest Wicker in all of Cal Cassia. After Merlynious had made himself comfortable in his basket chair and smiled as Tessynia looked on at his grand living room in awe. “Please do sit down Tessynia.” He said soothingly and he nodded his head in the direction of the sofa basket that was closest to his chair.

Why thank you Merlynious.”
You're welcome my dear.” Tessynia got into the sofa basket and made her self comfortable, she then began to tell Merlynious what she had seen.”
Are you sure that is exactly what you saw my dear?”
Yes very sure. You know your self Grand Elder Merlynious that my gift to see the future is a true gift.”


That I do not doubt my dear Tessynia, but I can not accept however what you saw, join minds with me, let me see what you saw. That will help prove your claim...” Remarked Merlynious, Tessynia almost looked hurt that he did not quite believe her. A joining of minds was part of the old ways, so Tessynia accepted Merlynious's offer.

Thank you Grand Elder for giving me the opportunity to mind share with you, I am deeply honored.“
You are most welcome my dear Tessynia.” Remarked Merlynious in a lovely soft soothing voice. Tessynia felt his mind suddenly brush hers, she now could feel his mind, the linking of the two minds was instantaneous. Merlynious looked into the same future as what Tessynia saw... only he saw not aliens, not death and destruction...

The Cassian race were the grandest and most powerful race of beings in all of creation. He saw the most grandest Utopia there ever could be, Tessynia could see what Merlynious was seeing. She could not believe it... He was however not seeing what she was seeing, a dead world, something was wrong...

You are mistaken about what you saw Tessynia, you did see what I just saw did you not?”
I did Grand Elder Merlynious. I do not understand, I saw it, but I still saw what I had originally seen in my Time Walk. My gift has not faulted, it can't. I swear by the most sacred of all relics, the Shadax-zah, that what I am telling you is the truth.”

WHAT?” Remarked Merlynious in shocked disbelief, but just then Tessynia made the Shadax-zah appear in her left paw. “How could you have kept such an unholy thing such as this from me Tessynia?” Tessynia was now hurt by what Merlynious had said to her. “How can you say such a thing Grand Elder Merlynious? You know your self that the Shadax-zah is not unholy, it is a sacred relic of the old ways.”

That book is evil and you my dear Tessynia are a Witch...” Before Tessynia could say anything or knew what was going to happen.

Merlynious had summoned all of his powers and a shear blast of energy came from him that hit Tessynia where she was sat, she did not even scream out as her body was suddenly reduced to ash which now lay upon the sofa basket.


The Shadax-zah Merlynious had snatched from her very paw, before he had destroyed her, he then threw the Shadax-zah into the fireplace where a roaring fire burned. It was not long that Merlynious had Tessynia's children all killed. But even he was not aware of the other children Tessynia secretly had, they lived, but none of them were aware of the Shadax-zah.


Merlynious should have known better that a book of magic can not be truly destroyed by conventional means, as the Shadax-zah began to burn and turn to dust, the dust itself disappeared and reappeared inside a dimensional realm where it resurrected itself Phoenix like from the ashes and it was whole again.

Where it would remain until one of the fore daughters of Tessynia is awoken to The Calling and then the Shadax-zah shall appear before the chosen one.
Tara had not been the first of her line to hear The Calling, her several times great grandmother had heard it, the Shadax-zah became hers to own, it was kept secret only to be revealed to her oldest daughter so that the Shadax-zah could be passed down to her children and her children's children etc. Only magic of greater power than that which made the book can destroy the Shadax-zah itself...



Cal Cassia 05/05/1999

The Future:



Lythia, Jen-Jo, Sara and Morgana all looked at Tara in awe. But they were equally worried. “Mother... do you you really think that High Lord President Baltimore will be so willing to accept the existence of the Shadax-zah and of The Calling?” Asked Morgana in a timid way, Tara smiled at her reassuringly. “With Anna Crow's help I am sure he will accept them.”


Lythia, Jen-Jo, Sara and Morgana knew of Anna Crow, she had been their baby sitter and was their friend also. “My little ones, I must now go. The sooner I can get to Anna Crow's house and get her to to take me to High Lord President Baltimore, the better.”

Can we come with you Mother?” Asked Jen-Jo in concern. “No, what I must do I must do alone... I shall be OK my little ones, I need you all to be brave and stay here, I shall return for you, I promise.”

Tara cried, she knew it would not be easy for her to leave her children and they would not make it easy either for her to do so. As much as she did not wanted to, she used her powers to make her self disappear.

She reappeared just outside of Anna Crow's house, which looked like an average one bed-roomed house. It was small compared to other houses, but for Anna, it was just the right size for her and she was utterly surprised to see Tara when she suddenly showed up at her door step.


Tara had rang the door bell, Anna could hardly believe her eyes. “Tara... I say, this is an unexpected visit...” She looked past Tara's shoulder and noticed that her children were not with her. “Say, where are you're children?”
They are perfectly safe Anna, trust me. I need to talk with you, it is a serious matter.”

Anna was 5 foot and 4 inches in height and she was slim, she had long blond hair and blue eyes, she wore a nice pink top, a short black skirt and red high heal shoes. Tara wore a long flowing Gypsy style like dress of many colors, with beads and jewellery sewn into the fabric and upon her feet were hand made sandals, almost Roman like in design.

Anna looked a little alarmed as she saw the seriousness in Tara's eyes. “You are serious, aren't you?”
Very... please may I come in? What I have to tell you is very important...” Anna moved aside to let Tara enter. “Sure come on in, go to the living room and make your self comfortable. “I shall bring in the drinks and something to eat.” Tara entered into Anna's house.

It was no where near as grand as to that of Merlynious's house, but this was the future time of Cal Cassia and that name along with a lot of other things from the past, have long been forgotten. Oh this race of human like beings had something like pets, but strangely enough, none of those pets were cats or even remotely cat like.

Pets were mostly something like fishes in fish tanks, spiders or creatures similar to them, birds, creatures that were near like hamsters and rabbits, there was surprisingly not even a dog like creature in all of Cal Cassia.



Other than this strange oddity, if a human ever suddenly woke up to find themselves on Cal Cassia, they would believe them selves to be on Earth, these human like Cassians had cars, trains, planes, television sets, etc. There was vast cities all over the continents of Cal Cassia.

Anna's house was simple, yet colorful, nothing outrageous the wall paper was floral white background pink flowers in one room, red flowers against a white background in another room and blue flowers in the kitchen against a white background, the theme was different colored flowers for each room.

Anna, you know that I have a gift don't you?” Remarked Tara as Anna soon had returned with a tray filled with cups and a plate full of cookies. “Yes and I do not think you odd because of that gift, I think it is a marvelous gift you have.”
It goes deeper than just having a gift, you see... there is something I have been keeping from you. I know I should not have done so, but I feared for my life...”

Anna looked shocked at Tara. “Fear for your life! Why say such a thing Tara? I would not do anything in which I would harm you in anyway and I certainly would not take your life... What is this all about?” Tara gave Anna a fearful and serious look. “This...” Tara remarked and she held out her left hand, a strange glow began to appear all around it, just the hand alone, encasing the whole hand to the wrist.

As Tara held out her left hand palm up, a ball of light appeared above it, it pulsated as it glowed, then... The glowing ball was gone and in it's place resting upon the palm of Tara's hand was a fur bound book. “What, what is that and what was that strange glow?” Asked Anna all scared and shocked before Tara. “That glow was real Magic and this! This is the Shadax-zah.”

Anna listened, still in shock as Tara told her what she had told her children... “We actually came from a race of Cats?”
Yes Anna, we truly once long ago used to be a race of Cats.”
But, but how is that possible?” Asked Anna in total shock and disbelief... “I mean... just look at as us... we are Human.” The Cal Cassians have known about a race of beings called Humans, and of Earth.

Even though they were not of Earth origins, they had decided to semi class them selves as Human, a secondary classification system if you will, and Cassian being their Primary main classification.

“We have human form yes... We had to become human like in order for our brains to grow, they grew due to the vast knowledge we kept on absorbing into our minds, our minds began to grow and our cranial structure was simply too small to handle the constant growing and reshaping of our minds...”


Remarked Tara, tears streamed down her cheeks, she did not know why she was crying. She wiped away at her tears... “We were supposed to retain the ability to transform into cats at will, but we did not carry the race memories with us. We all moved on so far away from what we once were, that we inadvertently put our own planet in danger.”
What do you mean Tara?”

Asked Anna, shocked, but she was slowly beginning to believe Tara, she suddenly began to feel something inside of her... She let Tara finish what she was saying before asking her, what that strange something was. “The Hyper Strings, remember what I told you about them?”

Yeah... but... are you saying that if we somehow do not become cats again or how to transform into them, because only in cat form can we pluck these Hyper Strings. If we do not put them back into harmony, our world is DOOMED?”

Yes... it is that exactly...”
I, I, I know, some... somehow I can feel it. I feel something, what is that Tara?” Tara gave Anna a big hug, and a big smile... “That what you are sensing right now. That is known as The Calling... it is reaching out to you, because in your heart and soul you have already embraced the truth. All those that do the same will hear the Calling too.”

Hear, in this instance was a metaphor, as the The Calling, was more of a feeling, but it was more than just that, The Calling was an awakening of a sorts pulling on the race memories of what the Human Cassians used to be, calling them to return back to their origins. “How... how can we become cats again?” Asked Anna in awe feeling the power of The Calling overflow her now and envelop her.


I believe once we all accept The Calling, it will trigger a chain reaction, a catalyst if you will... It will change us all, or give us the ability to change into cats at will. Not even I know how that catalyst is going to work or what it will do exactly to us. But it will help us to be able to do what we need to do, pluck the Hyper Strings, get the resonance back into synchronous harmony and our world shall be saved.”

Anna hugged Tara, she no longer feared or disbelieved her. She Immediately set things up for Tara to meet High Lord President Baltimore... Tara showed him the Shadax-zah. “I can hardly believe my eyes... But I would be a fool to deny the book's physical existence... We have a lot to talk about you and I Tara, but in private. I must congratulate you Anna for bringing Tara to me with this... I can not thank you enough. You shall be rewarded, go now, we have much to discuss.”

Anna bowed before Baltimore as though he was a king. She left and Tara feared the worst. But Baltimore completely embraced everything Tara told him, he gave her a loving embrace. “I am so glad you can feel The Calling too and can hear it call out to your soul.”
Yes, it is overwhelming, forgive me, I need go out for some fresh air, I shall not be gone long.”

Tara looked on concerned. “Are you all right High Lord President Baltimore?” He got up from his throne like chair of his throne like room he waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. “I am all right, I just need some fresh air... This is a tremendous amount to take in all at once you know.” Tara half felt ashamed of her self, she lowered her head in respect to Baltimore.

Of course, I do apologize High Lord President Baltimore.”
Oh... there is no need for you to apologize my dear Tara. Please enjoy my throne room, I shan't be long...” Tara was so happy, this was beyond what she could ever had hoped for.

Baltimore left and the entrance doors closed shut behind him as he left. It was a while before they opened again and quite naturally... Tara thought it was High Lord President Baltimore returning.



When she saw the Fortress Guards enter, she looked worried.
Is there something wrong?” Asked Tara, her voice almost trembling... “Yes, please come with us quickly, his High Lordship is having some kind of a heart attack, he says you may be able to help. He asked us to come to fetch you at once.”

Replied the Fortress guards, Tara believed them and they escorted her out of the throne room, they took her down a spiral star case leading out into the gardens, hunched over the rail of a band stand looked like to be the figure of High Lord President Baltimore.

Tara rushed over to the body, but with her back turned, she did not see one of the guardsmen come up from behind her and plunge his sword right through her back that went straight into her heart. Tara was dead instantly...

Awwww, fank you fwo your comment lilakiko. Oh dear, looks wike me will have to give you the kiss of life. *GIGGLES* Me can't be having you dieing on me.... Me working on the next part of this stowy as quick as me can, just hold on sweet lilakiko.


As Andrea said, me do have my work cut out fwo me on this one. Although this stowy is complete in it's hand written form. There is a few fings that are not included in it and it has only three chapters.


Me not saying how many this new version of the stowy is going to have, me working through some of concepts and scenes that never made it the written version of this stowy.


So, new fings are being put together in a sense, me can remember some of the original concepts me had of time writing the stowy, which me thought wubs not work so well or some other reason.


Me having to expand on those abandoned ideas, since me can only remember pieces here and there of those concepts. There a lots of gaps to fill in and this is a wery ambitous not to say the least complex stowy me haveths ever attempted to do.


Me will twy to get out the next part of this stowy as soon as me can lilakiko. Me so glads you wike this stowy leaving you wanting more. That makeths me so happy, fank you.

A very dramatic and tense new chapter. You certainly don't shy away from tragedy and loss in this story. It is hard to see how you will pull your fantasy world back from the brink of destruction, but I certainly look forward to finding out.

CHAPTER THREE



Cal Cassia 05/05/500
The Ancient Past:


All of the Cassians all over Cal Cassia were changing, not so much in form, but their fur had changed to unexpected colours. Merlynious had awoken in his basket and nothing seemed to be different at first, until he spoke. Cassians, could only speak by telepathy in a language outside what they had termed as 'Mewlings.'


Just as his mind had formed in the words 'Oh what a strange dream that I have had.' He was startled when instead of the words forming as speech in his mind, his mouth had opened and words suddenly cam from them...

“Oh what a strange dream that I have had.” Had his ears deceived him? Surely only the sound Meow should have been heard!
That was normal even for the Cassians but they had accepted what they termed as Mental Speech to be part of their higher evolved state.

But only by telepathy could they speak in Uni-Lingual, the Universal Tongue if you will. The Cassians have spoken in telepathy form since all of creation on Cal Cassia. They have never been able to physically speak until now.


“What? I'm talking, I am actually speaking not Mewling... what is going on?” He walked over to a near by lake a spot he so much loved, he looked at the reflection of himself in the surface of the lake and he got a shock. Merlynious had been a white and grey furred cat, but he was now pure white.

Merlynious knew of the shedding of fur and growing new fur back as well for some their fur changed colour, suddenly other coloured cats began to reflect in the surface of the lake and Merlynious turned to see a whole group of cats looking at him.



“Merlynious. What has happened to all of us?” All of the other cats remarked, all speaking together all at once. They all looked at each other in shock they had each thought they were the only ones who could talk, they had arrived by magic, all had come to see the great Merlynious.

Even in this time frame he was an old Cassian, of 51 years old, little did he know he would live to be 550 years old by the year 999.
For a cat race, 550 years of age was near ancient. Merlynious was the wisest Cassian among the few that were wise, he was the utmost wisest of them all in all of Cassia.

“It seems that we have all reached an evolutionary stage and I can see us all evolving further in the far future.” All of the Cassians all gasped in shock of this news. “It is all right my people. This is natural, we are part of the ever shifting cosmos, we must all embrace this new change in us all...”


Merlynious paused, his eyes were fixed, but not on anything or anyone. He seemed to be transfixed staring into mid air, for the lack of a better explanation. It was as though he was looking at something unseen, beyond the normal depth of perception.

“As must we in time embrace our greatest evolution of all. We will become the most advanced Cat Species to ever exist, this will be a golden age, so is this. So it will be the second Golden Age which we shall enter into, but for now, let us rejoice in our new beginning so to speak, to the Golden Age.”


Oh Merlynious, you are so wise and your visions are a gift from the Goddess her self.” The Cassians praised in awe of his power, among the Cassians there was of course Tessynia, her powers were near equal to Merlynious's powers. She approached him and smiled.

“You have given us all hope Merlynious.”

Yes, wow... that is a very striking red fur that you have there Tessynia...”


Why thank you, I like it. It is very distinctive...”
Oh yes, you know, now that we are of all different and significant colours, this marks a new beginning for us all. Therefore, we need to put our old ways behind us.”

What? Surely you do not mean that High Lord President Merlynious?”
Oh I do not mean some of the more important things, of the old ways. Of course it goes without saying those things shall continue with us.”

Forgive me Wise Old One, you had me worried there.”
You know the Old Ways very well my dear Tessynia, though now even in my tender age of 51, I am an Elder, I think it is about time we made more use of that tittle.”

Tessynia merely bowed her head with respect and left. It was ironic that Merlynious was a High Lord President, before that title changed to that of Grand Elder.


Too many things changed, he had lied to Tessynia, or during the time of phasing in the new changes, Merlynious somehow lost his way, even that was thought not to be possible.

Tessynia was worried. She looked to her mother Kara whom seemed just as worried... “Mother, I sense a terrible change in Merlynious's ways.”

Yes my little one, I sense it too. But that is not all that I sense.”

What do you mean Mother?” Tessynia was the oldest of the family line, her sisters were there and they all looked as confused as what she was. “Children, open your hearts and souls, clear your minds, listen...” Remarked Kara in a mysterious way. But her children all did as she had told them to do so. Tessynia was the first one to sense it, then the rest of her sisters sensed it too.

They all gathered around Kara. “Mother, what is that? We can all sense it, feel it... what is it? It's overwhelming.” Kara gave her children a reassuring smile. “Embrace it my little ones, that what you feel right now my little ones is The Calling. It will be overwhelming at first, just relax, let it fill your hearts and souls., soon the overwhelming sensation shall subside.”


Kara was in fact 55 years old, older than Merlynious, some have been lead to believe that she was even wiser than Merlynious, but Kara would not accept such claims.

Finally, people just accepted that though she was as old as Merlynious, she was not however as wise. Kara her self was part of the Elders, but she was also part of something else.


Merlynious knew this but he did not mind. Kara was the High Priestess of The Sister Hood that practiced in Wyre-Craft. She was old and unlike Merlynious, her ageing had effected her, she was not able to walk much, which was why Tessynia had been sent to find out what was happening with the radical change of their fur color.

Kara's children relaxed and they felt wonderful, as though the had awakened from something.

I am sorry I did not tell you about this sooner my little ones, The Calling is the force which governs all things, it is connected to the harmonics of the Hyper Strings, it has always been there, those strings need to be kept in synchronous harmony. We pluck the strings on every eve of Harmony. We are called to pluck the strings and we answer the call, but in this instance... this calling is the re-awakening of the old ways, for our kind are in danger of leaving the old ways behind...”

Kara paused... tears ran down her fury cheeks. “This Golden Age we have entered into is not so golden, Merlynious is driving away all that has been into a fading memory to make way for a totally new life, with nothing of our past to help guide our future, one I fear may come to an end. Not that I have seen such an end, but if Merlynious continues down this path, taking everyone with him. Then our future is sure to end and on such a scale that is unimaginable.”

Can anything be done to prevent this Mother?” Asked Tessynia in concern. “Oh yes, have no fear my dear little one. Something can be done, but before I tell you all what, I need to share with you something else.” Kara held out her left paw which suddenly began to glow and a pulsating glowing ball of energy appeared in the palm of her paw. The pulsating glow soon vanished, but in it's place appeared a fur bound book.


Kara's children all looked on in shock and in awe all at the same time. “Mother... what is that?” Her children all asked together.
This my dear little ones is the Shadax-zah.” Kara told her children of the books history and that it has been part of a long line of generations, a new book would soon need to be made. A sudden sad look came over Kara's face.

My little ones, I am going to need you, well just you three, Lydian, Jo-Gina and Shana. I would not ask this of you my dears, but as you are young, your powers will add to the powers of the Sisterhood. Tessynia, you shall be needing this, as it belongs to you now until you can make a Shadax-zah of your own.” Tessynia looked worried... “Mother... what are you saying?”

Suddenly Tessynia felt something, and she passed out, her sisters looked at Kara worriedly. “Mother... what has happened to Tessynia?”
Not to worry my little ones, she shall be safe now... Please I need you to trust me. I need you all to come with me and join me and the Sisterhood.”

The Shadax-zah had vanished mysteriously, when Kara held out her fore paws to her children, they each held onto them and they all vanished. The reappeared inside a stone circle. It looked like Stone Henge, only complete and the stones were of a luminous white color. They shone like there were pillars of light, a vast field stretched out into infinity, or it seemed that way.

Mother... where are we... what is this place?” Asked Shana timidly. “It is all right sweet little one my dear Shana, this is a sacred place, this is Wyren-Guard, the heart if you will of
Wyre-Craft. This very stone circle has it's own unique power source, though it to is connected to the harmonics of the Hyper Strings.”

There was 12 hooded robed figures that stood in a circle surrounding Kara, their robes were crimson and gold. Golden embossed shapes on the robes were things like crescent moons, pentagrams and other symbols Kara's children did not even recognise. “Who, who are they Mother?” Asked Shana again in a timid voice, Kara smiled at her reassuringly.

They are the Sisterhood my dear sweet Shana, there is no time to further explain, please, my little ones, I need you all to listen to our chant and to repeat it with us, with your powers combined with ours, we shall be able to save Merlynious and the rest of Cassian kind.”

Kara's children obeyed, even if they did not fully understood what was going on.
As the Sisterhood began to chant, Kara's children chanted with them, but all of a sudden, a group of armed Cassians appeared, only one other person knew of this sacred place, nothing however broke the Sisterhood's concentration, they were like in a trance, so were Kara's children. One by one these armed Cassians slaughtered them all, the Sisterhood, even Kara's children.

The armed Cassians disappeared once all were dead.
But the rest of the Cassians had felt the deaths of the Sisterhood and the deaths of Kara's children.

They had all turned up at Merlynious's place demanding to know what was going on. The armed Cassians had appeared even in Kara's house. The group captain of the armed Cassians found Tessynia's body. “I do not know why, but she is dead...”


Why would a Witch kill her own child?” Asked Kandahar looking surprised. Captain Alkyl looked at Kandahar in a stern way. “Why should you even care? She was a Witch, maybe the eldest daughter had more sense and she tried to protest against her own mother and her mother killed her, she even used her little ones to help in her evil fowl ways of the dark arts. What more evidence do you need of her evilness!”

Kandahar nodded his head. “Yeah, you're right, should we torch this place?”
No, let it rot.”
What shall I do with this dead body?”
Let it rot with the rest of this place. Leave it... We came to do what we came here to do, it does not matter that the Witch did our job for us. Come on... lets go.”


The armed Cassians vanished, they appeared in the middle of a forest clearing where a hooded figure was waiting for them. “Well?” It asked in an impatient tone of voice.
They are all dead Oh Great One.”
All of them?”
Yes oh Great One?”

Good, good, good. Go home, each of you all shall find when you get home your reward there for you all. Above all, you left no traces?”
Oh none what so ever Oh Great One.”

Good, then those fools can not prove a thing.” The group of armed Cassians looked puzzled, Alkyl was the one that had been replying to the hooded figure's questions.

I, I do not understand Oh Great One...”
The matter is not of your concern, I do not know how, but there is a rumor going around, implying that I am behind the killings.”
Oh Great One we swear on our lives that we left no traces behind, nothing can possibly be connected with you in anyway.”

I know that you fool... This obviously has to be of Kara's doing, she probably had this set up, as a counter measure, not to worry, this matter I shall deal with.”

Are you sure Oh Great One? We could take care of the matter for you.”
I doubt that Alkyl... Only I have the sort of power to dis-spell what ever evil spell that Witch has cast. Nothing else now can get in the way, we shall one day live as Gods, something I knew and sensed Kara disapproved of...”

The hooded robed figure paused for a moment. “That was why she had summoned the Sister. Yes I was aware of that, but I wanted to have her and those other Witches killed while trying to do a special enchantment, one that immobilizes them, other wise even with your weapons, you and your lot would not stand a chance against the powers of those Witches.”


Captain Alkyl lowered his head, he did not like the idea of not being able to defeat anyone. He and his team were the best in the knowledge of weapons, they were an unstoppable force.

“Do not looks so down Alkyl, I did you and your men a favor, go home, I shall deal with the rumors.” Captain Alkyl bowed his head. “ Yes Oh Great One.”

Everything now was set in motion, Cal Cassia was doomed, there was nothing now that can stop the fate of this world, nothing....

The narrative structure is challenging to say the least, but the clear theme of history either repeating either in a linear timeline or in different dimensions is very potent, building up an atmosphere of despair that I am keen to see if the final part reinforces or subverts.
