Like the trio’s litter before this one, Khaos had nursed the kits in the caverns that the Oneiroi had called home. Four kits this time, not three. Unlike Thanatos, Eris, and Hypnos, these kits had no names yet, even though now they were old enough that they would have chosen one by the standards of the Oneiroi.  But the Oneiroi no longer existed, having ceased between the time of their birth and the time they would...

Mephostopheles and Faustus were not alone when the two joined the Oneiroi. They had brought along with them the Shades who had not only named these two cats of divine lineage, but had guided them in many facets of life. The two were still fairly young and the trio of leaders happily welcomed them at the time to learn more with the Oneiroi, who constantly sought knowledge.  Faustus, the smaller of the two, had been th...

Though it was clear from the beginning that all three of Khaos and Erebos’s first set kits were sired from a fleeting visit by a mysterious stranger, Aether was also a parent to them. And Aether had wisdom enough to notice the growing dissatisfaction of the three kits. Aether did not know why, exactly, but they had suspicions. But they did not act on those suspicions. And that was the problem, as it always had been. ...

Faustus was not born called ‘Faustus’. But the becoming of Faustus was early on, still as a kit. They had a friend, as it were, who was more than he seemed. Their friend was kind, so very kind, but they were no fool, even before becoming Faustus truly. Their friend was only kind to them, no one else. And they adored that facet of their friend, even as they knew they shouldn’t. They were of divine lineage, one wh...

Mephostopheles was not his name at birth. No doubt, it was some divinely linked name, given the patterns he bears. But just because his lineage was divine did not mean that he was. No, Mephestopheles was born knowing he was far from divine, no matter what his parents and birth-clowder claimed.  The Shades had given him his true name as a kit, and he held it close and secret for when the time was right. He knew not th...

They had always known they were Dreamers, these young cats, at least the first two. Khaos and Aether, not siblings but raised by the same dam. A dam that walked with the dead in dreams and then taught them to walk with the dead as well.  It was not until they met the nameless cat around their age that they realized most cats were not connected to the Dreaming in the way that these two were. Khaos and Aether named thi...

Nox was not intrinsically loyal, not a pet or a follower, but when he had sustained an injury and the Shaper had found him and offered him a sanctuary to heal as well as the potential of becoming more than he was now, Nox had been intrigued by their offer, enough to tentatively accept. The Oneiroi were more interesting than he had expected- Drawing their power from dreaming with the dead. It interested him enough to a...
