Preface
Juliana’s Cat
Night had come rathe switly to the smal town of Glenvale that
sat just on the boders of the Idrian mountain range, just shy of
the rive Kadren. he sky as a ruddy dark colo, almost like ochre,
burnt in places by the phospho brightnes of the winking stars. A
low heavy fog hiered through the cobled streets and seemed
to cling to everything as the wind stired it, like a witch brewing
a potion. Only those ho did il o atched fo signs of troule
prowled these back ays and thoroughfares, thieves and atchmen
alike – al slipping through the darknes like wraiths in an ashen
graveyad.
hey ere being atched howeve, and they did not know it,
fo high above the town’s hubub both night and day the towe of
Juliana ‘he Helion’ of Glenvale rose into the sky, lights burning
in the stained glas windows – almost like some kind of eldritch
beacon. But it as not a human being that atched them, no;
something else pierced the veils of mist and shadow with green,
lamplight eyes that scrutinised everything with a kind of ‘bored’
expresion.
“Midnight?” came the sot oice of the sorceres as she pased
towads the languid feline, lazing there on one of he experiment
tales in the smal tray that sat by the side of the window. “What
in the moons has you atention this night?” Waves of red hai
fel about the woman’s face as she leaned close to pee out of
the window and he cat, playfuly and some might have said ‘on
purpose’ began to pul at the tasels on he figure hugging purple
dres.
he cat, a sleek and uterly lack lithe being gave he mistres
a sot yet stern look, flicking he ears back in a mock display of
‘iritation’ and twitching he tail, she did not reply, she simply
roled around in the tray, crushing parchment and almost
knocking a nearby ate containe ove with an outstretched
paw.
“Oh Midnight,” she sighed and began to slowly scratch the
cat behind the ea, slowly the feline began to emanate a low
‘thrumming’ pur and he scrables ceased. Until, of course,
Juliana looked away, then the two front paws came up to lock
around he arm and the teeth gently but stil with some bite to
them, began to nip at he arm. Once the arm had been kiled the
cat then began to ‘disembowel’ it with he back paws, of course,
al of this as mock and he claws ere hadly ale to make
much of an impresion on the woman’s skin – but stil she as
determined to put on a good ‘show’.
Juliana atched this ritual; this had gone on many times
before and she doubted that the cat would eve change, hich she
didn’t realy ant – she as a charae and the sorceres liked
he just the ay she as. She aited until the cat lost interest
and began licking a paw and ashing herself in disgust ate being
contaminated by he Elven mistres, then began to look out of the
window to the streets below.
“Mistres?” the cat said, a low thrum in he oice. “I did not
hurt you did I?” here as concern there, and fo this question
the feline got he answe as Juliana pated he on the head
splaying he ears to odd angles.
“No, not at al, hy did you think, you did?”
“I have sharp claws… teeth and I tend to play a litle rough
sometimes.” he familia pured sotly at he mistres’s touch.
“I don’t like that mist.” Typical of course fo a cat, the subject
changed in a flash of those green eyes and anothe contemptuous
lick of he paw. “Something is not right with it.”
“Oh?” he sorceres’s ambe eyes, cat-like in looks and with
a sot glow about them, pierced the darknes and she narowed
them in surprise. “You could el be right, Midnight, you could
el be right.”
She turned from the window and paced acros the study of he
towe, past the briliantly burning fire hose flames licked at the
logs hungrily like dogs at a scrap of meat. he luminescent flares
caused the shape of he body to be seen beneath that dres and
any would-be bystande would note; she as unclad beneath it.
He slim hand that as tipped with long fingernails – lacquered
lack, gripped the long comfortale wooden staff that rested by
the fireplace and she spun around.
“How do I look?” She preened a litle, ambe eyes dancing.
“he same as always, mistres…” the cat yawned.
“Oh?” He face fel a litle and he tongue bobed out just
peeking between he teeth.
“Dresed to kil,” Midnight appeased with a feline grin, the grin
spoke of sneaky molification and subtle praise.
he sorceres nodded approvingly at he familia and he
expresion brightened into a sly grin, she pushed he long crimson
locks out of he face and once more returned to the window,
opening it and breathing the night ai. It smeled damp, like
the world just ate a great storm, but also the smel of the grave
ated into the breeze and clung against he lungs causing he to
cough and slam it closed in disgust.
