Intro- Once upon a time in a Beautiful castle there lived a king and a queen, they were the happiest couple the world had ever seen, every day the king would surprise the queen with spontaneous gifts that he had bought or found from distant lands and every night the king would tend to all the queens needs. One day the queen became very sick and no doctor could say what was wrong with her. The king went out as far as he could to find the most beautiful gift for his wife. He came across a traveling salesman who claimed that he had a potion that could cure any sickness, desperate; the king said he would give anything to obtain this potion. A grin went across the salesman's face as he told the king that there was another; willing to give many valuable items to get the potion. The king quickly countered saying he would give half of all of his gold, a carriage, horses, and a servant. The salesman, now glowing with excitement, decided that wasn't enough and told the king he wanted not only half the kings gold but weapons, armor, two connected carriages, four horses, and ten servants. The king was in such a weakened state he accepted the offer. After sending the traveler on his way the king quickly gave his queen the mysterious purple liquid. The next day the queen died, one of the kings doctors said that the liquid contained venom from multiple snakes and spiders and also had purple dye in it. Feeling cheated and heartbroken the king sent his best assassins, knights and mercenaries to every corner of the continent looking for the man. After a couple weeks the king was tipped off that the salesman was found sneaking around in a nearby town. The king took his knights and went to the home. When he broke down the door the man was gone but inside the home was a small pile of gold, some weapons, poisons and a dead woman holding a newborn baby still alive and crying...

Midnight- Renmar castle- Carrying a mid sized Black furred red eyed cat, a guard burst through the king's bedroom door "What is the meaning of this?!" king Bastious yelled "Why is Xeria unconscious?!" The Guard set the cat on the floor and kneeled "My lord, an archer caught her trying to climb the castle wall again, but this time when he yelled she lost her grip and fell. Luckily she landed on me, but she ran and tripped into the medical fellow who happened to be holding a powerful sedative..." the king sat in disbelief for a few moments then sent the guard to the barracks for food and rest.

Slowly opening her eyes Xeria gained consciousness "where is he" she thought as she scanned the room. She stood up and silently walked toward the door, still scanning the room Xeria felt a cold prick touch her upper back "looking for me, diablo del gato?" a voice whispered. A cold chill went up Xeria's spine as she held back a loud screech. "Maybe, you...you should know better than to sneak up on such a fine warrior like myself" she said trying not to quiver. "Oh yes! I'm shaking with fear knowing that I, Senghal Novlen the kings best assassin, am in the presence of Xeria the fearless warrior cat of Renmar" Senghal the lion then picked Xeria up and tossed her on the bed like it was no trouble "The king wants to speak with you Xeria, I have orders to not let you leave this....room" Senghal scanned the room and noticed the lack of Xeria's presence. "Can I not blink without you disappearing?!" Senghal roared. He signaled out the window to show the guards that she was out again. Xeria silently chuckled as she lay under an old wooden desk, listening to Senghal mumble to himself. As Senghal left the room she slowly slipped out from under the desk and peered out the window. She watched as 3 guard wolves made their pass then slipped out the window and made a mad break for the nearest ally.

 "Now what" she thought to herself. "There has to be another exit besides the front gate or the wall." Xeria started toward the next ally when she saw the glow of a torch. She quickly dove behind a trash barrel and listened as what sounded like two guards came to a halt at the base of the ally, she slowly peeked around the barrel to see two guards dressed with red tunics over their armor instead of the standard blue tunic's she'd seen throughout the years. She jolted back as one of the guards looked in her direction "I smell something" a deep raspy voice uttered. "Its probably just the trash you idiot, now hurry up. You know what Senghal will do if were late to another meeting." The other voice whispered in anger. Xeria let out a sigh as the footsteps sounded more distant. She slowly stood up when all of the sudden she was grabbed by a big, yellow eyed, snake in a red tunic. Xeria thrashed as the snake turned to a black wolf wearing the same armor and tunic "I told you I smelled something" the snake said as he threw her toward the wolf.

As she was being tied Xeria continuously cried for help through the rag placed in her mouth. Carrying Xeria, the annoyed snake turned toward the wolf "What do we do with her Harry?" Harry snickered as patted the snake on the head "Atlas, you should know by now.All streetrats and runaways go to Senghal." Atlas let out a big sigh as Xeria spit out the rag "Where are you taking me?! What is Senghal doing with you two?!" Harry quickly forced a sedative into her. "Thank you" Atlas sighed "Anyway, can't we have a bit of fun with her before we give her to Senghal?" Harry smiled and stopped, staring into the empty ally next to them.
