Night came across the skies of planet Eros turning them blood red. Screams of grief, terror and fear shattered the silence of the night. This blended with the sound of agonized furious yowls of fighting cats. The smell of blood mixed with the night air-the scent of death. In the extremities of all the chaos in a meadow of grass sat lonely hut. Inside the plain bedroom located within it ,huddled in bed lay two cats. One tan the other black and red. Suddenly the cream colored cat sat straight up alarm making her heart pounding as her eyes widened fearfully.

''Wake up!'' She almost yowled to the other cat in panic. ''Our daughter is coming!!!''

The cat she had spoken jumped up in the air banging his head against the roof.

''What!!'' He yowled ''This is a terrible time! you know whose going to come and take her should they discover her don't you?''

''Yes the Voltrons defenders of Gods will yes I know!!!''

''Where are we going to go before they come and take her?''

''Oh I don’t know!'' He hissed alarm chilling his fur. Where could he go? there was only thing he could do. Say the prayer that had been passed down from generations of cats on Eros. ''Lord of heaven earth light and dark though you are pure holy light your loving . . .''

''What are you doing saying that prayer we need immediate action!''

''This is immediate action! God promises us over and over again that he is with us and that our prayers are heard! have you lost your faith?''

''No! but know is not the time to talk to God!''

''There is no better time than when it is dark to speak to him know please let me finish-your Lord of heaven earth light and dark though you are the purest holiest of lights your loving kindness make us whole and is our only salvation. We can trust you even in the dark and right know we can't see the light, grant us your wisdom and counsel for ages to come. Give us sight where our eyes cannot see, give us light where there is dark give us peace where there is fear. Give us guidance where we have fallen in your mighty powerful name, may you reign forever oh mighty king amen''

''Okay great feel anything yet?''

''The war hole!''

Hurriedly they across the blood filled ground to the large deep war hole. Inside it looked cavernous dark and damp. Quickly he made a nest out of the supply of twigs and moss he had. Marvella collapsed onto it. She dug her claws into the grass and lat out a soft scream as the contractions seized her sides, like claws and in a few minutes their daughter entered the world. Purrs of happiness rose in their throats as Marvello danced for joy At last a daughter of his own! and Marvella licked her lovingly.

''Areathina'' Marvella meowed ''that’s what we'll call her'' ''If you don't mind Marvello I'll stay here it will be safer'' ''Well . . .Okay but I . . ''

''Marvello you needn't worry I'll be fine''

Marvello sighed and paw by paw clawed his way up the steep slope. And on to the top of the earth swift as an eagle ran over to his house.
