PROLOGUE:
Citrus was having that dream again... no not a dream, a nightmare. It haunt him, the same nightmare he saw every night... the same vision that was an endless, inescapable loop. It was horrible, miserable... but tonight it was different....
Citrus saw it. He saw the perfect orange, his small body lunging onto the tree to pick it. His teeth sank into it, about to pluck it. The sweet session filled his teeth, urging him to bite down harder. Then... snap! The branch he had been seated on had snapped. And what he had failed to see was the road below him. He fell down down down... Until the car lights collided with him in a flurry of honking. Then it went black.
But this was when he would wake up panting, wishing he had not seen this dream again... But not tonight. Instead a pair of deep black eyes, with white pupils flashed in front of his face. He felt like he knew them, but yet he didn't. Then he woke up, and the starry sky came into view as his eyes adjusted. "Who... Those... Eyes..." he muttered quietly staring at the stars.

As dawn approached Citrus heard something in the bushes, still muttering about the eyes he got up. nearing the bushes he he kept mutter... "Those eyes... I just don't trust them..." Suddenly out of no where, in a flurry or fur, he was tackled. A small cut was made on his forehead, but that's all the harm he got. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!" he raged at the creature. The creature was a feline, just like him! It was an odd looking feline, although he was odd looking too. She had the antlers of a deer, and bird wings, she was oddly colored as well.
"I'm sorry... I... Dunno what got into me.. you were just... nevermind," she stuttered. "Lucky this cut isn't deep..." Citrus said half-halfheartedly," I'm Citrus by the way." he said. "Oh- uhm... I'm Saffron..." the feline creature said. "Say you don't look like most cats, Citrus?" Saffron asked quietly. "oh... uhm... I was hit by a car at a young age, only my tail was badly hurt though. Some labworkers saved me but... I was accidentally fused with a bit of orange on my fur in the process." He replied, flicking his head towards his odd tail, containing a tank of what seemed like orange juice.
"Oh..." Saffron replied, like something was wrong, she sounded upset. "Saffron are.. you alright...?" Citrus asked sheepishly. Saffron sighed. "Not really... I was fused as well. But not like you... you have it easy... To be honest. I don't even know who I am! I- I was 3 different animals, once... my personality is unstable I... nevermind... I should get going..." she said sadly. "No- nono! Please don't leave!" Citrus found his mouth saying before he had realized it. Saffron looked at him with a hint of happiness in her sad eyes. "Thank you."

PROLOGUE:
"My Children, gather 'round and I shall tell you the story..." The old feline started as her three grand-kittens gathered around her. "What story?" The youngest piped up. Lillian laughed, her old sweet grandmother laugh,"Dears, I'm getting too old for this... let me finish my sentence. Today I am telling you the story of GreeneVillage, our village," She said patiently, as her three grand-kittens curled up, ready to listen. Lillian, despite her age, made story time lively, and fun for the kittens.
"Once my children, GreeneVillage was not as it is today. Once, this lovely town was in ruins. Nothing was at peace, it was horrible. This was thanks to an evil cat, the worst there was, Belva Lupanne! She showed up one day, convincing the town she was there for their sake. To help them to success.... GreeneVillage needed someone like that so desperately they believed her. They did whatever they were told, until they realized it was too late. She had rose to power... everything she wanted.
And nobody could stop her, except the choosen one. There was one last hope, a cat by the name of Flynn Achilles. He defeated her and turned her into stone. She lives on, but forever trapped in stone, hidden deep in the palace of GreeneVillage. Years past, Flynn had died, and GreeneVillage became as it is today, peaceful and cheery. So remember don't be a bad kitty or you could end up like Belva!" Lillian laughed as the kittens ran and laughed in fake terror. Lillian smiled warmly, knowing she had told the old fairy tale well.
"Grandma Lillian...?" Luka, the youngest, piped up again. "Yes?" Lillian smiled. "Is that a true story" Luka asked, her small kitten eyes wide. "Some say it's fake, but just between you and me... I think it's real" Sealing the conversation with a wink. Then the kittens' mother came is telling them it was time to go home.

Years past, Luka, and her brothers Riley and Danny, grew. It was time for them to go off on their own, but they had never been apart before. Luka, who had been the runt, now always won when her and brothers play fought and was feeling more confident about going off on her own. They said their goodbyes, and Luka want off into their small cat village, for the first time, by herself.
Luka's brown-ish cream fur was fairly long, and swayed from side to side as she walked. Slowly she approached the Castle of GreeneVillage. She hadn't meant to walk there, her feet just had carried her there. She walked in, feeling that she should, vaguely remembering a story that had taken place here. She yawned, oddly getting sleepy, as she entered. Odd to see no one was in the main room, she was about to exit thinking it was closed, until she saw black flames shoot up from the torches on a nearby wall. That wasn't normal... was it? She followed them, the only noise was her paws padding on the smooth stone.
The torches continued to light as she walked deeper into the castle. She found it odd no one was here, but that slowly slipped her mind, as she entered a larger circle room. She gasped, memories flooding back to her, as she turned pale. It was the statue. The statue of Belva.
"Free me, kid. You know you've always wanted too. You know it is fate... You know it is what will be done. Free me, kid." The words echoed through the room, as if flooding only into Luka's ears. She tried to tune it out, but it only got louder. Why would she want to free someone as evil as Belva was!? "You've been lied too, kid. Everyone tells you wrong. Nobody wants the kids to know the truth. Free me, Kid! Do it!" it hissed into Luka's ears.
She pondered for a moment. Had her grandma and her friends lied to her her whole life? Then she wondered how would she even free Belva... "Kid, do it! Just touch your paw to the stone! DO IT KID!" The voice hissed once more. Luka's mind had become corrupted. "ENOUGH!" She screamed slamming her paw into the stone.

Suddenly it was black.

"Thanks, kid! I owe ya one!" The same voice that had been hissing before laughed. Luka woke up, she was no longer in her village, she was now in a green flied of grass. There was a small rock, and on that rock stood a feline, a feline she had never dreamed of meeting. The cat was a very light orange, almost yellow color, with a slick grin. She work a Necklace, crown, and ring around her tail. All were grey with orange jewels. Her eyes had an insane hint in them. Luka new right away, this was Belva.

"Well I won't be needing you anymore kid, I'll remember 'ya when I take full control." Belva laughed, and started to walk away. Looking a bit over the hill Luka could tell that they hadn't gone far from GreeneVillage, just far enough to not be noticed. Luka had a look of terror on her face, what had she done? "Oh yeah kid, you need to be careful who you trust. Not like that matters now though" Belva laughed again, approaching the end of the hilly spot and down into GreeneVillage. What had Luka done...!
"I- I won't let you take over my village again!" Luka screamed before she knew what she was doing. Belva stopped, turning her head to face Luka. "Ha! What can you do to stop me?! Once I get my paws on The Stone of Devio, I will have complete control again. and Flynn is gone kid, there is no one left to turn to. What are ya gonna do about it kid? Huh? Huh? That's what I thought!" Belva asked, rushing the answer. When Luka came up empty Belva returned to her walking. This was the end... and Belva disappeared, leaving Luka there. Luka was no hero... but she could try.

---

Luka ran as fast as she could into the village, why had she not run sooner. Shock? Fear? She didn't know, but she still had hope, not much, but it was hope. She could tell people already knew Belva was back, they were hiding their kittens, no one was outside, whatever they could do... but Luka knew this would do no good. Luka ran, she felt the wind in her blond-cream fur, but couldn't enjoy it. She raced, into the castle her pads clashing with noise against the castle floor. Deeper she went, towards the room that rested the stone, The Stone of Devio, the only thing keeping peace in the village.
She was to late... Belva had beaten her. It was over. Belva held the small diamond shaped rock, taking in all of the item's power. She had full control over GreeneVillage, as purple waves formed on her eyes. Then the stone fell, drained of it's power, it clanked hitting the stone ground. Belva laughed harder than before. The only way to restore the power was the person who had taken it had to give it back... and that would never happen....

"Why are you doing this!" Luka screamed over Belva's laughing. "Why?" Belva snarled. "Because! I had a kingdom of my own once! But THEY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME!" Belva cried, foully. "I'm sorry to hear that! But you don't need to come take ours!" Luka said softly. Belva stopped... Standing completely still. "I'm sorry..." She said quietly, hanging her head. Was Belva... crying?
Luka walked closer, slowly. "I'm sorry..." Belva repeated. "FOR NOTHING!" she screamed sending Luka flying across the room. "Your like every hero out there kid, but one thing is different, your not getting happily ever after." Belva snarled. She hadn't been crying... no... Belva had been laughing. Luka's leg was hurt, and she couldn't moved, she cried, but nothing happened. "Look kid, it's over for you, just admit it. I am Belva Lupanne, and you can not stop me!" Belva cried sending a flash of light, hurdling towards Luka. Luka was hit by the light. Her tail started to disappear, then her legs... It was really over. She had been saying it was over forever now... but it was real this time. "I- I know you'll do the right thing in the end... You can be better... I know you ca-" Luka said with the last of her power, before all that was left of her was dust.
