Quotes

In the darkness, a thousand un-trod paths

Beckon our blindness, sirens for stopped eyes.
With courage unshaken, grasp Ways of Seeing,
Sniffing paths for truth, claws unsheathed; questing the light.
Liz Nostra through a dozen battles, a true Nova Cat warrior,
Victory – steps closer down the path . . . refuge!
Her victory on the shoulders of warriors great and small,
He from Blood House [sic] Drummond,
Who reminded the Cats of their Dragon heritage.
Enemies abound,
Allies stretch their hands across the darkness.

  — The Remembrance (Spirit Cats), Passage 2, Verse 3, Lines 1–10[6]
