Prologue
The sun slowly rose into the sky, its warm rays seeking life. The orange glow that had appeared on the crest of the hills grew stronger and stronger, until it became to much to bear. Shade took one look at the dawn sky, and slipped up a nearby oak tree. For some reason he felt safest in the dark. The dark... was comforting. It embraced Shade as it embraced all black cats, hiding him, sheltering him from prying eyes.
