Glad you all like it!
Here is an interesting update that may make you wonder:
A day after it was sent, Tigerclaw received Shawnti’s message.
‘Thinks she’s so good, but then she needs help just to try and capture a couple of rebellious creatures! Ha! I’ll give her help I will!’ he thought smiling to himself.
****
Cogg however had his own plans. From the start he had known of the conflict between Shawnti and Tigerclaw. He knew one would in the end triumph over the other. The one who won the commandership of his army he would keep awhile, to see if they could still be trusted to not betray him. If they began to get to great a grasp on power though, that would be a different story…

Mozart couldn’t sleep. Festivities and feasts had been planned for the next few days, but the merriment had no effect on the little cat.
‘Its too good to be true that they’d just run away like that,’ she thought,
‘They’re planning something, they must be! From what Tori says, and Frodo, Smokey and Shadow, Cogg doesn’t settle for softies in his army…. Somethings going on… but what?’ eventually she had fallen asleep. But even sleep gave no rest to the kitten. She tossed and turned and rolled of the bed once, and try as she might she could not find peace.
As she tossed and turned though, she suddenly saw a white light. It approached her, and seemed to take the form of a huge white cat. Mozart felt frightened, but at the same time calm.
“Who, who are you?” she asked the Cat.
“I am always, and neverending. I will always be and always have been.” Was the White Cat’s reply.
“How, how did you get here? The gate is locked, and the door was shut!” squeaked Mozart.
“Locked gates and shut doors do not keep me out, child.”
Mozart swallowed her fear and sat up straiter.
“Why are you here then? Surely not to see me. I’m but a kit, you’re probably here to see Ribbony or Dora or Jako…” but the White Cat just stared at her, then spoke Mozart savored his voice, it tasted like honey and flowed like water down a river.
“I have come to speak with you Mozart. No other. Now listen to me, for what I am going to say to you is most important.”
Mozart wanted to argue that He must have the wrong cat, but she stayed respectfully silent.
“As you have thought, the enemy will make another move. He will strike during the feast tomorrow. You must be ready. Take courage young one, for I shall be with you in your charge for freedom.” Then the White Cat began to fade, Mozart tried to call him back though,
“Are you sure its me? It can’t be! I’m, I-…” the Cat’s stern no-nonsense eyes watched her intently though and she stopped babbling.
“You have more courage than even you know, Mozart the Meerkitten, do not fear, I will be with you.” Then the White Cat faded, and Mozart was awakened by Caspian shaking her.
“Mozart, Mozart wake up! Its almost time for the feast!”
Mozart stood, and Caspian could see his sister had changed.
“Get the others, take them to the main hall, I’ll be there waiting for them.”
Caspian stared open mouthed at his sister, then answered readily,
“Yes ma’m!”
