Nova Peak Sittin' all alone,

She dare not ask more, finding the previous conversation now but fallen. Instead, Asra now went through memories to share of fables through her life, "there was once a grand feast between all the animals. a dragon, a rat, a pig, a rooster, a dog, a ox, a tiger, a rabbit, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, and finally, a cat." some were not real, however, or not heard of. She knew not of a dragon, but knew that a tiger was but a striped mountain lion deep into a land, that frost-born woman did not know.

"God invited them, but the rat was tricky. He told the cat that it was not tomorrow, but the next day. So all the animals, but the cat, enjoyed banquet with God, and he claimed them all to be his cherished friends... All, except for the one." 

"so he spent the day, dreaming of the banquet that would never come." 

Her head stared but at the stars as she shared the lore, though it wasn't the lightest of them all. For the story shared but the sneaky rat, and perhaps the start on why the term was to be scorned by others. However, it was one of her favorite stories that she remembered, for Asra held pity toward the cat, and as a child, she mourned they had skipped the feast.

She wondered, if it all happened again, would the result be the same?
