The Three Stones

Prologue
''The cats hunch their backs against the falling rain. They walk together as one unanimous group, each step matched by another. They walk slowly but surely. None of them speak.''

''They reach a clearing, where they find another group of cats hunched against the rain. They come together as one, sadness spreading through the clearing like a spell lost in the ages.''

''The oldest elder steps forward, turning to face the cats gathered in the night. His eyes are wide, filled with sadness and fear, and he looks around at everyone before he speaks.''

''"Today we mourn," the elder calls with a surprising amount of stamina. "We mourn the three sisters that perished so many seasons ago."
