Far away in a sleeping field, was a girl, and she dreamed of one day meeting her mother. Her combat trainer, Mr. Centaur –for he was a centaur and did not go by "horsy" for that was his real name- had told her who her real mother was, and what her mother had planned for Athene. Course, Athene, not truly sure what to think of said plan, went along with it anyways. They had already finished training for the day, so Athene asked her mother if she could sleep, and of course Athena told Centaur to tell her yes.

Every night Athene would hear a howl not far in the distance -for every night she would be outside in that very meadow- and she would jump awake from the creepy noise. By this time Centaur would tell her she was fine, but she never felt truly safe away from Granny. The cottage was so ever after away. Athene, hearing a growl close to her spot, ran. She started towards the cottage, but soon did not see where it should be. Oh-no! I am lost She thought.

As she skidded to a stop so she could breathe, she tripped over an object in the way. When she looked at what was under her, it moved, trying to attack her. She tried to back away, but it had her pinned and she couldn't move. Just as she was about to pass out, the last thing she registered was a fluffy tail near her face.
