I don’t know what I was thinking. Why did I think it would be a good idea to bring my cat to school? At the time I was thinking “Little Sunny is so sweet and calm, if I sneak her into my school bag and bring her to the school play rehearsal, no one will even notice!” Well, it didn’t work out like that.

PROLOGUE: THE MAGIC RIVER
The story began with the Wishing Stream. A place normally avoided by those who fear the unknown, it was a magical river that flowed near the small town of Neigedale. The stream ran through the dark and dense woods right where the town came to an end. Unlike the surrounding shadowy woods, the land closest the stream had its own eerie mystical glow.
