Prologue
Moon sat on her housefolk's fence. She started to groom herself thoroughly under the night sky. Stars glittered in the sky; too far away for her to reach. A meow slid from the next housefolk den. She immediately recognized the high pitched voice.

"Ace? Is that you?" Moon asked loudly.

The trill of his voice spooked her. "Hi, Moon!" he called out.

She stared out into the forest. A noise caught her attention, as a leaf fell on her nose. Something ached deep in her heart. Cool wind rustled the treetops, and more leaves fell. "Do you ever feel like you belong somewhere else? I mean, my housefolk are nice and all, but I don't think I'll ever get used to this kind of life." Her honest gazed burned into Ace's eyes.

Ace gave no immediate reply; it seemed like seasons until he answered. "Nope." he said with a bounce in his voice. "I couldn't live anywhere else but with my housefolk; definately not the wilderness!"

Moon understood what he said well. She never connected with their kind like Ace had. The breeze shifted; and Moon looked into the brightest star. Closing her eyes, she asked herself what the right decision was. Would it be better to stay with everything familiar? Or leave and discover new places?

Leaping from her post, she turned her head over shoulder to talk with Ace one last time. "I'll miss you, Ace, I know you'll do great things. Please tell Leif that I'm leaving for good, I won't change my mind," she stopped; looking full on at Ace. "I'll never forget you."

"Do you think I'll ever forget you, mouse- brain?" he joked. "I wish you well on your journey!"

Moon set off. Rain started to trickle out of the clouds, and she flicked it away. No rain would get in her way of finding were she truly belonged.

Wet marshy land squished under her paws with a loud suction noise. A slight breeze buffeted her fur; as the dreary rain had just picked up. Moon just sighed and moved along; nervous thoughts enthralling her. ''What kind of cats will I find? Do I stand a chance against wildcats?'' she thought. But no one could answer them for her. Not yet, at least.

A murmur broke her thinking silence. A muddy brown cat came into sight. She squinted to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. Not this time. The cat looked over at her.

"Hey, Rivershine! Are the borders marked?" He asked Moon.

"I believe you're mistaken. My name's Moon, not Rivershine." She answered honestly.
