				Kirie didn't expect to one day wake up in the middle of a forest. She thought she was still dreaming. Then she broke into a panic. Then she realized that this was the sort of thing only younger girls would get into back in those fictional comic books. Kirie herself had reached 18 years of age, had a mature figure (with a C cup to boot!), and had just finished high school. She thought she was a little too old for magical adventures. But as this was her reality now, there was no turning back.<br><br>She stood out clear as day with her silver-lilac hair alone, if not the yellow jacket as part of her night clothes, with a white nightgown underneath that. Even with her slippers on, she carefully navigated the forest so as not to cut herself on any stray twigs or brambles. She needed to find someone, or someplace, anything that might help her understand just what happened to her.

				Not long after her arrival in this strange new world, Kirie soon heard the sounds of barking, shouting, and snapping branches. Ahead of her, a small cat with white fur, black ears and paws, and blue raced out of the underbrush. Not far behind, literally snapping at its heels, a pack of strange little creatures with green skin, long noses, and wide mouths rode a pack of wolves in pursuit of the little feline. The greenskins were armed with a random assortment of swords, spears, axes, and bows.<br><br>Seeing her, the cat's eyes widened and he leaped straight into the girl's arms! Soon enough, a voice with a strange accent spoke directly in her thoughts. The cat's lips never moved.<br><br><em>Please, I am deep in the trouble and you are the only one who can help. I can give you the power, but you must help me!</em> Its eyes looked up into hers beseechingly.<br><br>&nbsp;The green creatures slowed their wolf mounts as they grew closer, jabbering among themselves in a sniggering tongue about how their luck had gotten even better. Their wolves snarled and chomped in restrained anticipation.

				"Ah...!" Kirie backed up, her eyes widened at everything going on at once. She never thought twice about catching the cat into her arms, and then looked down at the creature before looking back up at the goblins. She took a gulp. <br><br>"Alright... I can help you... better than being a dinner for wolves. What do I need to do to help?" she asked as she started to back up, ready to run away if it turned out she couldn't fend them off.

				Luckily, for the moment, it seemed as though the goblins were too busy arguing among each other about something to pay much attention to her.<br><br>Meanwhile, the cat's eyes narrowed in concentration.<br><br><em>I am needing you to draw upon your inner cat, your inner beast. Close your eyes and make with the meow. Like you mean it! I will take care of the rest!</em>

				"Uh... um... Okay..." She was confused as to what the cat really meant, but she closed her eyes as she was told. She awkwardly cleared her throat, and then started to let out the clearest, loudest mewl that she could. Given the situation she found herself in, the meow didn't sound too convincing to her own mind...

				The goblins stopped arguing as she meowed... before erupting into raucous laughter, leaning back in their saddles.<br><br>Her fellow victim glared at her.<br><br><em>I already told you, you must <strong>mean</strong> it! Forget what you are and become what you <strong>must</strong> to survive! Believe in yourself!</em><br><br>A few of the wolves, impatient with waiting, started creeping closer.

				"Frigging... what do you think I'm trying to do!?" Kirie stopped cold as she looked at the wolves starting to close in on the two of them. "Ugh..." Seeing this just made her job harder.<br><br>Closing her eyes shut, she took a deep breath, then let out the most serious "MEOW!!" that she could.

				The cat rolled its eyes.<br><br><em>Eh, is close enough.</em><br><br>With that, the cat's eyes began to shine with white light and shot through Kirie's chest into her heart. Rather than any sort of pain or burning, Kirie felt herself being filled with a strange sense of power.<br><br>While the magical surge changed her on the inside, the white light explained to envelope her outside. Her pajamas disappeared entirely, leaving her as a stark naked glowing silhouette. Stunned by the sudden display, the goblins soon erupted into jabbering and whistling as more of Kirie's form was put on display. Even with the language barrier, it was clear that there was a great deal of cat-calling going on.<br><br>As the goblins jeered and hooted, the white light began to take shape around Kirie. Red gloves with gold trim materialized on her arms that went back all the way to the middle part of her upper arms. A matching set of boots covered her legs to mid-thigh. Her torso was soon encompassed by a combination red-and-white sleeveless skirt with frilly lacing at the bottom and yet more gold trim. To finish off the adornment, a wand appeared in her hand that was topped with... a fishbowl? It seemed to be, for there was a tiny little fish with bright golden scales swimming within it.<br><br>The changes were not limited to her clothing. Her lilac-silver hair became moon white and matching white ears sprung up from her scalp. When she opened her eyes, Kirie's normal eye color was replaced with the same blue as the cat's.<br><br><em>There. Is <strong>much</strong> better.</em><br><br>Once the light dissipated and Kirie stood revealed in her new regalia, the goblins shrunk back at the obvious display of magic. More arguing ensued, but the wolves had turned downright bloodthirsty with the presence of a much bigger feline being in the vicinity.

				"Much better!" Kirie smirked as she looked on at the arguing goblins. "Alright, fun time's over!" She raised the hand with the wand in it and then swung it down at the goblins, before a burst of energy shot out at the group. She then stood in that posture and waited; if they were going to attack after <em>that</em>... well, they might as well have signed a death warrant.

				When Kirie swung the wand down, the true nature of its decoration became apparent. A blue beam shot out of the weapon's head, its forefront shaped into the gaping mouth of a sea serpent. Most of the goblins and wolves were flung backwards harshly by the sudden onslaught, its strength rushing them back through the bushes from whence they came. The few remaining goblins look at the woman with shock. Her confidence shakes them even further and they ride off quickly into the underbrush, their wolf mounts whimpering at the display of magical might.<br><br>In the crook of her other arm, the cat gave a sigh of weary relief. <em>It was a close one. You did it, but much of my magic is drained.</em> His form begins shaking. <em>Put me down, quickly!</em>

				"Alright, alright!" Once she put the cat down, her strange regalia dissipated, turning back into her nightclothes and regular form. She examined herself for a moment, and then looked to see that the goblins and wolves had taken off for real. "So... uh... what happens now?"

				The cat gave no sign of actually hearing her. Instead, it shook and... changed. Twisted. Grew.<br><br>Fur faded away to reveal human flesh. Claws receded into fingers and legs extended into arms. Its muzzle shortened and became a nose over a mouth. Ears shrank down into the skull and its tail disappeared completely.<br><br>By the time that the transformation was complete, a man was standing before her. He was a skinny thing with pale skin and raven black hair styled into horns (or ears?) on his head. The man was dressed in a high-end black and white suit, a clear sign of wealth.<br><br>Those same blue eyes, now with round pupils instead of slits, turned to regard her coolly. His accented voice now came forth from his lips.<br><br>"I am thanking you for the help. You did not have much choice, but it is I who led them to you. Accident or no, I almost get you killed. Is my fault getting them angry. Chieftain was very mad about me pissing in his ale. Not that filthy cur-lover can tell difference." He dusted dirt off of his pants and plucked a white hair from his shoulder. "Had to use own shapeshifting magic to help you. Why is yours so weak, like little baby?"

				"Because, well..." Kirie's now somewhat normal purple-hued eyes took in the strange, lanky man before her before she went on into her explanation.<br><br>"Thing is, I am really from... elsewhere. Another world would be the best way to explain it. So if what I'm getting at is right... I can't shapeshift. At all, really."

				He looked at her in disbelief. "What are you meaning, you cannot shapeshift? Everyone in Here-or-There&nbsp; can-"<br><br>His eyes widened and body stiffened at a terrible realization. "You're... not from Here <em>or</em> There, are you?" The man leans forward and sniff near Kirie's face.<br><br>"You smell human... But there is not the stink of drugs about you. And I was so sure that I saw the magic in your heart... How did you get past the Curtain?" His questions seemed more for his own sake than to ask for her explanation.<br><br>The man stood back, deep in thoughts. One could almost see the wheels turning in his head. Looking back up at Kirie, he asks, "How old are you, miss?"

				Kirie leaned back as he leaned in. She then gave a shrug while shaking her head. "I have no real idea how I got here. I mean I am just eighteen years old. I happen to come from... well, Earth is the most I can explain. San Francisco was where I last was. Uh..."

				The man raised an eyebrow at that. "'Only' eighteen? Yes, you are definitely from Earth-side of Curtain. And if you are from 'San Francisco', you must belong to so-called Capitalist Union of States." His tone was less than pleased, but not hostile.<br><br>He offers a small courtly bow. "I am Alekzandros Kotsyn and my mother is the Duchess of Floof. She will no doubt wish to thank you personally for my rescue. I'm sure you two will have much to talk about...<br><br>Come, we must go before goblins come back with bigger friends." Alekzandros begins forging his way in a certain direction, swatting aside branches and stepping over roots.

				"Well, not really a flattering name, but yes. I'm surprised you actually know at least that much about Earth. My name is Kirie Brighton." That said, she began to pick up the pace, carefully navigating the trail that Alek made as they would hopefully travel out of the forest.

				"Only know so much because Father insisted. He was originally from Motherland before he came here. Got really drunk one night and was cursed by a witch. He was sent here, away from his beloved country, but he met Mother and... well, here I am." Alekzandros gave such information easily, as if it was no great secret.<br><br>"Humans normally only able to gain entrance Here or There when deep in bottle or sniffing powder. Yet you have had neither of those things." He looks over his shoulder back at her.<br><br>"So, Miss Brighton, I am thinking that you have questions." It was a statement, not a question.

				"Hmmm... It has been long time since sleepers have come to this place.<br><br>No, children do not come here. Well, at least, they only came in dreams. Nowadays, some do come with the help of alcohol or drugs..." His tone was clearly disapproving.<br><br>"But still, only some Earth cultures think that being eighteen years is young. Most girls here are married shortly after sixteenth birthday. Speaking of which, Mother may try to 'help' you find a man. If she says that, just smile and nod and let me do talking. Likely, Mother will try to marry you to <em>me</em>."<br><br>Alekzandros shrugged. "No offense, but just met you. Want to know woman before marrying her. Learned that from Mother and Father."

				"Hm... that does sound like something strange is going on then." At the mention of marriage, however, her eyes widened. "Ah... yeah, sounds great, but that doesn't really solve that she would try and marry me off. But alright then, I'll... I'll try and trust you on that. How much longer until we're there by the way?"

				Alekzandros holds up a hand to placate her. "Trust me, this is the best way to do it. What is the Earth saying... 'the cat has hold of your tongue'? Mother can be like that, sometimes. I'm the only one that knows how to deal with her. Lately, she's been very desperate for grandkittens to be running around the castle, but I don't want to settle just yet. Personally, I just like to have a quick fuck and move on." He shrugged.<br><br>"It will take us about another quarter of an hour. Don't worry, the forest cover gets lighter as we get closer. Don't have to worry about nightdress getting ripped to shreds before meeting family," Alekzandros joked.<br><br>After trekking for about fifteen or twenty minutes, they finally arrived. Before them stood a clearing, one that somehow did not give the impression of having been clear-cut from the forest but was naturally arising instead.<br>At the center of the clearing stood a tall castle, easily six stories in height. The Floofian coat of arms, a series of crossed claw marks over a black pawprint on a purple banner, hung from the battlements of the castle. This castle was surrounded by a moat and a dirt road led to a village miles away.<br><br>As they make their way down to the castle, Alekzandros leads Kirie to a side of the moat far from the far entrance. Clicking his heels twice and brandishing his hand with a flourish, Alekzandros summoned a stone bridge from below the water and allowed them access to a postern gate, a secret passage, built into the castle wall.<br><br>He beckons her onward. "Come. Is better that whole castle does not see you, or there will be uproar. Until we know what is going on, less people that know, the better."

				"Ah, right..." Kirie tried to hold back a blush at the mention of a 'quick fuck'. Regardless of his reassurance that her nightgown wouldn't be torn up, she did try to keep it away from stray brush.<br><br>Once the two of them arrived at the castle, she took in the sight of it before being pulled away. She gasped as the bridge rose up. But once she heard the reason why, she blinked.<br><br>"Why would there be...? Well, unless my whole being here as a stranger were to cause it." Regardless, she followed him inside.

				In a low voice, Alekzandros responded, "I told you that humans are very rare around Here as well as There. As a result, there are a lot of myths about humans, like how having sex with one can make you fly or that they will grant three wishes to anyone who captures their heart. Stupid things, but they make humans very desirable. Mother was very possessive of Father, so no one had the loins to stand up to her."<br><br>Moving through the wall and into the courtyard, they could see a wide range of creatures moving around. Beings made of stone, little gnomes with their red hats, centaur-like beings with the body of a deer instead of a horse, and most of all, a great deal of felines. Some slunk along on all fours, in sizes from a house cat to a liger. Others walked upright like men and either looked mostly human with cat-like ears and tails or like a strange hybrid of human and feline features.<br><br>A keep stood in the center of the mess, no doubt the home of the ruling family. Grabbing a jug from beside the wall, Alekzandros hands it to her. "Here. If anyone asks, you're helping me bring in some fresh wine for Mother... though try not to talk. Your accent gives you away."<br><br>Alekzandros begins making his way through the crowd. In a natural display of deference, the crowd opens up slightly before him to allow passage.

				"Err... okay." Kirie just had to do as Alekzander... or whatever his name was, and carried the jug as the two of them went into the keep. Though she couldn't really help but look around herself at all the strange beings in the place.

				Things around her seemed out-of-control. A rock troll carried logs into the castle and set them down in a brace, no doubt for fire fuel later. A pair of children with cat ears chased each other through the legs of the adults, giggling in their spirit of play. A cat-man with grey and black stripes cartwheeled his way through the crowd before standing up and juggling a series of shiny red balls with his feet while lying on his back. Garden gnomes argued over the pros and cons of planting mandrake roots for the castle's use in the royal gardens. A deer-woman with a large rack and heavy make-up flicked her white fluff tail cheekily at a male of the same species who possessed an impressive rack of a different sort before darting off toward the castle gate, the male in hot pursuit.<br><br>Through it all, Alekzandros's prediction proved true: in the hustle and bustle, no one paid any attention to her. Soon, they made their way through the doors of the keep (after nodding respectfully to the upright armadillos guarding the door with vicious looking pikes) and Alekzandros motioned for her to put the jug down next to the door.<br><br>Continuing on, they soon found themselves in the royal chambers. A roaring fireplace, the length of a school bus, lent the place a cheery warmth. Tapestries covered the walls with scenes of fantastical creatures and large battles. The space was made cozy with the presence of plush armchairs, sofas, couches, and even a pile of cushions in one corner. A beautifully paned glass window offered a view of the castle walls and the village miles away.<br><br>Whispering to her, Alekzandros said, "I'm going to call her. Are you ready to talk, or do you need moment to compose yourself?"

				Alekzandros took a second to take a deep breath and blow out a weary sigh. "<em>Mama!</em> There is someone that you should be meeting!"<br><br>From an entryway on the other side of the room, the Duchess of Floof came forth. Her most obvious trait was her size. She was easily a head taller than Alekzandros and likely weighed twice as much. Her frame suggested someone that used to be physically fit in an almost intimidating fashion, but has since gone to seed with creature comforts. From the way that she moved, however, it was clear that the matron still had a great deal of strength left beneath the layers of chub. Of course, all of that muscle and fat lay beneath a pelt of fur with white and black stripes.<br><br>The Duchess was one of those strange hybrid forms that Kirie saw earlier in the courtyard. A short muzzle with sharp teeth protruded from her face and it became immediately clear which parent Alek had gotten his eyes from. She moved across the carpet in bare feet, exposing the claws that sank reflexively into the softer material beneath. She wore a purple dress with frills at the sleeve ends and especially near her chest.<br><br>Her ears perked up and her eyes lit up in delight at the sight of the two of them. She in a deep and refined voice. "Alek! <strong>*gasp*</strong> You have finally brought a woman home!" She held a clawed hand up to her forehead dramatically. "Oh, my son, finally about to become a man!" Hustling forward, the Duchess picked up Kirie and wrapped her in a fierce hug. Unfortunately for Kirie, that had the unfortunate side effect of burying her head into the tigress's cleavage. "My dear child, you are so beautiful!" There was no preening or false compliment in her voice; her words seemed genuine. Blue eyes met purple ones eagerly. "And what is your name, my dear?"

				She stood there, eyes widened as the duchess entered into the room. And she nearly yelped as she was picked up and crushed against the part-feline. Once she was pulled away though, she took a deep breath for air before speaking. "Ah... I'm... I'm Kirie." It was pretty much the only thing she could say given the situation.

				"Kirie! What a wonderful name! I am Sheera, the Duchess of Floof and your soon-to-be mother-in-law," she said as if it was destined to happen.<br><br>Turning her attention back to her son, Sheera asked, "So, my precious little kitten, what made you finally decide to bring her home? A midnight romance under the light of a full moon? A romantic dinner with some of those famous hound violinists? Or perhaps...," her tone turned sly and cheeky, "you have given her the barb?"<br><br>Alek's hand instantly rose to ward away his mother's suggestion. The pale man's cheeks blushed crimson at his mother suggesting such a thing. "<em>Nyet!</em> We have done no such thing! We just met about an hour ago! She saved me from a band of goblin raiders."<br><br>Sheera regarded Kirie with a new respect. "Oh, a bit of a modernist in relationships, I see. I approve, dearheart. Can't let the menfolk have <em>all</em> the fun, now can we?" She winked knowingly.<br><br>"As for you," Sheera asked her son as she suddenly grew very disapproving, "what did you do this time? Leave a dildo standing in his toilet? Tie his shoelaces together? Don't tell me that you did something like piss in his ale."<br><br>The cool and collected Alek suddenly looked very bashfully. Sheera heaved a sigh and facepalmed. "Alekzandros, I love you, but sometimes you can be a little <em>too</em> much like your father. How I miss him so, my dear Pitr..." She wrapped her arms around her shoulders, clutching herself and squishing her boobs as she purred while reminiscing. "Now <em>there</em> was a man. Only human, but as hairy and strong as a bear." Sheera looked wistfully over at one of the pieces of furniture. "I remember how he used to bend me over that couch and just-"<br><br>Once again, Alek was forced to vehemently cut his mother off. "<em>Nyeeet!</em> No one here needs to know about when Father gave you the dickings! There is something more important." Alek turns to look at Kirie with a serious expression. "<em>Mama</em>, I think that she could be The One."<br><br>Sheera waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, I'm aware of that, deary, which is why I want to go over the wedding arrangements-"<br><br>"Not 'the one' for me, <em>Mama</em>. <em>The</em> One."<br><br>As Sheera finally caught on to the capitalization, her manner of levity melted away as she suddenly grew very serious. The look that she gave Kirie was much more analytical, weighing her against some unseen measure. "<em>The</em> One?<br><br>...Yes. She certainly does match the description of the Prophecy..."

				At the mention of Sheera and her husband's... er... previous endeavors, Kirie took a seat at a different chair.<br><br>But at the mention of 'The One', she leaned in the seat with interest.<br><br>"The One? Prophecy? You're saying that I might be destined to save this world, somehow?" She then sat upright. "It does make sense... sort of... even though I'm not exactly sure where to even start."

				Sheera regarded her steadily, gauging how real her excitement was, before turning to ask Alek, "Has she told you how old she is?"<br><br>Alek nodded somberly. "'Only eighteen', in her own words, <em>Mama</em>."<br><br>The Duchess looked down at her feet, lost in introspection. Finally, she spoke the verse.<br><br><div align="center">"From Earth shall come a maiden fair<br>With purple eyes and silver hair.<br>Her body grown, but her mind a child,<br>she shall halt the chaos running wild.<br>Her magic will either make the children sing<br>or it will destroy Everything..."</div><br>Sighing, Sheera continued normally, "Kirie, I am afraid that you have been saddled with a great burden. It is not coincidence that you come to us at this time. Not only has there been a great deal of trouble Here and There, but also from your own world... at least, from what our informants can gather. Something, or <em>someone</em>, is upsetting the balance and we will need your help to put an end to it.<br><br>Alek, can she shift as we do? As Everyone can?"<br><br>Alek shook his head in exasperation. "No, she cannot. That is why I am in my human form now. It took all of my shifting energy to give her the power to drive away the goblins."<br><br>Sheera places one palm underneath of her chin. "That is going to be a problem." Her eyes lit up and her ears perked as she was struck by realization. "Of course! The Artifacts! How could I have forgotten? Dearies, I will be right back. I need to grab a few items to help you on your journey, Kirie. Please, help yourself to <em>anything</em> in this room while I am gone." A lecherous wink followed that last suggestion before hurrying out of the room.<br><br>Once she has left, Alek breathes a sigh of weary relief. "Good news. She is so focused on Prophecy that she has shelved talk of marriage for now. Thank goodness..."

				"Uh... okay..." Kirie just stood there and watched Sheera leave. She was still trying to wrap her mind around the whole situation that was revealed to her, so she jumped a little when Alek spoke up.<br><br>"Well, maybe marriage really is going to be the least of our problems... Okay, I'm relieved about that too. Still, the other stuff... How the hell am I going to save... well, everything...?"

				Alek shrugged. "Do not know. Prophecy doesn't exactly explain <em>that</em>. Very specific only when convenient, yes?" His mouth curls into a knowing smirk.<br><br>After a while, Sheera returns with a bundle wrapped in a blanket. She set the blanket down on a table and lays out a series of decorated objects:<br><br>A golden heart amulet surrounded by white diamonds.<br><br>A silver ring topped with an onyx pawprint.<br><br>A platinum tiara with a cat's eye gemstone.<br><br>And a blue frilly... what appeared to be a <em>legband</em> studded with rubies.<br><br>Stepping back, Sheera said with great gravity, "To truly awaken the power within you, you must select one of the Artifacts to serve as its focus. Choose wisely, for only one that truly resonates with you will allow you to call upon your power in times of need."<br><br>

				"Right..." With that, she reached a hand out over the various artifacts and closed her eyes, her hand hovering over each of them. She hoped that for her own sake she didn't really end up having to pick that legband.

I can practically <em>feel</em> the magic resonating from you... or perhaps that is the wine talking." She shrugged nonchalantly.<br><br>"Still, just to be sure...

				Kirie simply nodded, then slipped the ring on her middle finger. She then took a deep breath and tried to use the magic latent within the ring.

				Kirie can feel the magic flow through her body and explode out of the onyx catpaw in white light as it envelopes her like before in the forest.<br><br>After a short time, she is once again clothed in the same outfit as before with one major exception. Instead of her wand being topped with a goldfish bowl, now a four-clawed cat's paw topped the scepter.<br><br>Sheera claps her paws together giddily while Alek is grudgingly impressed.

				"I don't know... It was kind of cute..." Alek grins salaciously. When stars appear in Sheera's eyes, the grin melts away. "Don't get any ideas, <em>Mama</em>," he growls crossly.<br><br>Huffing out a breath in disappointment, Sheera smiles gently and places her paws on Kirie's shoulders. "I am so happy for you, my dear. You may have a lot of responsibility, but few are given the power to change the world like you are.<br><br>Of course, you cannot do that from within the castle walls here. Head down to the tavern in the village just down the road and ask for the bard. He will be able to tell you where you should go next. Oh, and since I understand that humans sometimes have difficulty adjusting to life here, I will be giving you something else to help you in your journey."<br><br>Sheera hands Kirie a silver handbell. "Ring this and meet your new butler!"

				With a single pure note, energy shot from the bell and takes the silhouette of a man. After a few seconds, a older-looking man with fading silver hair and an impressive mustache stood before her. He was dressed simply but expensively in a white long-shirt with a silver vest and black pants. He carried a platter under one arm and his golden eyes seemed to gleam in the light coming through the window.<br><br>He bowed deeply before Kirie, a melodious and sophisticated voice offering his greetings. <strong><span class="bbc_u">"My young Mistress, I have been waiting for this day for far too long. I am Sterling and I have sworn my service to The One. Whatever service you may need, I will do my utmost best to provide it."</span></strong> Unlike the other two, there was no trace of innuendo in Sterling's suggestion.<br><br>Sheera elaborated further, "Sterling is a man of many talents. He can cook, clean, speak multiple languages, engage in diplomacy and legal matters on your behalf, provide shelter, and even fight to protect you in a pinch."<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>"For your sake, My Lady, I hope to avoid the last one. I fear that my dueling skills have become rusty with disuse,"</strong></span> Sterling admitted with smooth grace.<br><br>The Duchess protested, "Nonsense! You're Sterling Silver! I cannot imagine a world where you lose your edge, my good man." Their banter suggested that the two had known each other for a long time.
