Prologue

A large ship was bobbing slowly on the water of the seas. It was crewed by cats, feral cats mostly. They worked about the deck, talking in low voices. There was barely a breath of wind in the sky, their leader would not be happy about that. One group of cats stood on the starboard side of the ship. One of them, a cat by the name of Rathi, was complaining.

"Bah, I don't know why were stuck on this stupid voyage. A army of expert fighters like us, stuck on this blasted boat!", he grumbled.

The cat beside him held a paw to his lips. "Shh! If our leader hears you saying things like that, he'll say its mutiny!"

However, the cat continued. "Whats the difference? Our "mighty leader" is snoring the day away in his bunk! Meanwhile, we've been out here working out tails off to get him to where he wants ta' go!"

The cat in front of him looked like he was about to say something but stopped. His eyes were wide with fear and focused on something behind Rathi. He gave a visible gulp anad gave feeble singles to stop his friend.

"Who does he think he is?", continued Rathi, not noticing his friends warnings in his rage. "A ghost, that's what he is. And I aint' serving no ghost!"

"Oh I assure you, I am no ghost. I'll prove it to you since you don't seem convinced."

There was a whoosh of a axe, and the slain Rathi fell to the deck. The other cats stared in horror at the figure who ahd killed him.

He was a wildcat, wearing a armored breastplate and gauntlets. In one paw he loosely held the single bladed war axe, the edge gleaming red with fresh blood. He raised the axe for all to see.

"Behold! I am no ghost, I am Riggu Felis! I shall prove it to any cat who does not believe this. I shall prove it by the blade of my axe!"

He turned and prowled back toward his cabin, calling over his shoulder as he went.

"Keep us on course for Green Isle! Oh, and someone toss that thing overboard."

The large ship plowed slowly on, with a terrified crew and one less feral cat now floating in the waves.
