Moirai apprentice, Arlie Gay, has a one-time deal from the Fate, Clotho. “Bring me the perfect pet and earn your humanity.”
Determined to succeed, Arlie travels to the time before time to collect the ancient energy necessary to create a were-cat. Turns out this particular beast is the one “pet” capable of disrupting the balance between the nether world of Tartania and the other world of Ourania—and destroying the only existence Arlie has ever known.
Won this in a giveaway. I realize this was meant to be a short story but in my opinion is too short. The ending just cuts off the story completely and leaves too many loose ends. It's good little story but it could have been longer and explained more.
