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..."

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..."
