The following are the true life's adventures of a kitten who is a ninja. Kind of self explanatory. I know.

11th Night of Cat's Moon, a scratch til suns-jump.
-
When da kittens are away da pups will play!
Least dat's what I say!
Hey folks! In cased you spirits hadn't guessed it, this ain't Myow you're talking to. It's his good pal Rarfwing. Myow probably wouldn't wants me messing with his ether-realms* diary like this, but I won't haves to takes the heat for that till ole Myow-wow returns and reads this. (That's the name Rowra and I teases Myow with: try it. Say "Myow-wow," it's fun!) He's outs doin' somethin' with the sky-kittens. Top secret stuffs, don'tcha know? Very hush hushed! Anyway's... I's just read overs Myow's first two little journals and I thinks he's lefts out a few important details of the things that ought to be more important to Myow-wow. So I figures I'll fill em in for ya myself. Sorry I hopes yer not havin' any trouble hearin' my dialect right. Kittenese ain't xactly my native tongue and I don't think I speaks it quite right, and I never really spokeds any language, but SkyBark**, till I grew up and left the city of CloudBone. *3*
THINGS THAT YA OUGHT T'KNOW ABOUT...
-
1. MYOW THE NINJA KITTEN
He has black fur, and yellow eyes, like most of the upperclass kittens in Kitten.
He's almost always wearing his black ninja robes with even, the mask on, not bothering to remove it, except to eat. He always keeps the black dotanuki blade Emperor Mraow Mriowi gave him, strapped to his back, and seems to treasure it over almost everything else. He's also fully armed in ninja kitten weaponry and gear, we're talkin' ninja stars, the yarn ball with the grappling hook attached, the works.
Myow's bigger and taller and stronger and fiercer than most any of the other kittens in the empire. Some suspect he's got some panther-cub's blood in him, though he's nowhere near as big as one of them. Myow-wow's abouts five and a half tails tall if not a bit taller. Which makes him a bit shorter than me as I'm a sky-pup, but taller than most any other kitten I've ever met.
Though Myow-wow might not calls me his best friend, I'd definitely calls him mine. Afters the fall of my city to the furless ones *4*, I mets Myow. We's were boths of us little fur balls at the time we were found by the emperor and tooked in. So we both owes Mraow Mriowi pretty much everything.
Myow has changed since he gots the job as the Captain of the SkyKittens. He's always been a devout loyalist. I'd say there's easilly more loyalty in Myao then in any pup I ever met. Which's rare in a kitten by a way. But he's different now. Not just driven, but too driven. Something's up.
-
2. ROWRA (MYOW'S FIANCE)
She's a black-fur like Myow, which is a good thing for the two of them, because inter-class marriage are frowned on by Kitten society.
Myow's lucky to have her. Rowra's by far's the most attractive female kitten I've ever laid eyes on. Hell I'm attracted to the girl more's than a little, and I'm not even's the right species. Not that there's never been any inter-species relationships, but... no point talkin' bout that, in Kitten that kind of fraternization between different specieses is very strictly outlawed.
Rowra's smart too. Not at all a loyalist like Myao, Rowra's the type to question absolutely everything. Which is something both Emperor Mrauw Mriowi and Myow have been frowning upon as of late. I have a feeling she may wind up getting into some trouble, if she don't learn to seeks answers to her questions quietly, like yours truly does.
Right now Rowra's very worried about our buddy Myow, despite the fact that he's paid little to no attention to her as of late. He spends most of his time with the SkyKittens and hardly any with her. I'm afraids if thing's keeps going like they are Myow's sure to lose her.
-
EMPEROR MRAUW MRIOWI
Trained to rule. Born to rule, many say. Chosen by that Great Cat in the Sky... Emperor Mrauw Mriowi is a truly great kitten. He's the savior of Kitten, and the savior of Myow and me in more ways than one. Many believe's him to be infallible. If they're rights: great. But if they're wrongs: well... best to keeps an eye or two on this one.
-
IRONANTLER
I'm truly shocked that Myow's failed's to mention Old IronAntler to all you out there. If anybody's been more of a father figure to us than the Emperor, it's him. He's moose-cub and a trusted advisor to the king, and we've allways been welcome to his house, and beens treated to his sage advices more times than I can count, even in those cases where we didn't really want it.
Old IronAntler's a card. He loves the hell out of Myow and me, though he's currently nice and pissed with Myow over how he's been treating Rowra out of late. Like me, he figures she's the best thing that's ever happened to Myow. Try telling him that, though. I suppose nobody's tried harder than IronAntler, and now they won't even talk to each other anymore.
IronAntler is a brilliant craftsman, who rediscovered the art of building those sky-kites that make the SkyKittens what they are. He's also an old warrior, one of the only one's whose ever seen combat with the furrless ones and lived to tell of it.
-
... Well I guess that's probably all you need to know. Heh! I can't wait to see the look on Myow's face when he reads this! Well, it's been a pleasure keeping you spirits informed! Hopefully we'll be meetin' again!
Till next time,
Rarfwing.

Tenth Day of Cat's Moon, a talon's scrath past nights-core.
-
Hello.
Today has been slow. Other than training, which was more intensive than usual. The Emperor's advisor Mriyowku, has hinted to us as to what we are training for... the invasion of lands outside of our own, for the puposes of keeping the nation of Kitten safe... there is some dissent amongst the ranks of the the sky-kittens. In particular, I think my second in command: Quickpounce is trying to turn the other sky-kittens against me, and against Emperor Mrauw Mriowi. Advisor Mriyowku told my sky-kittens more than what they or I needed to know. He may also fall on the wrong side of this conflict. It will end in blood, I am sure of it.
There is something else I don't trust about Mriowku... Something about the smell of him. Can't quite put my paw on it, though. My sense of smell has never been my strong suit.
The sky-kittens have to be ready to move at a moments notice. The time is coming where we shall be at war.
I tried to talk to Rowra about it over dinner last night, and it turned into a shouting match. How can I hold together the sky-kittens when I can't even keep my own house in order. Rowra? Oh... didn't I mention her before? She's my fiance. Though not for long if things continue as they are. Rowra says I've changed since recieving command of the sky-kittens. She says all I care about now is my career as a soldier in the Empire. I don't know how to tell her the truth... that I owe the Empire all of myself. That it is, and always has been all I can afford to care about. I am soldier. What does she expect?
That is all
Myow Out.

9th Day of Cat's Moon, a talon's length from nights-core.
-
The name is Myow, and in case you hadn't guessed from the title, I'm a ninja kitten.
So... I've never done anything like this... not quite sure what to say. Rarfwing says I should tell you about myself, but I think I'll tell you about him instead.
His name's Rarfwing.
He's a dog with wings.
His fur is white,
except for a brown spot around his right eye.
He's the closest thing I have to a best friend,
but I wouldn't call him that.
Rarfwing works for the Emperor and was raised and trained by him, same as me.
Rarfwing is the last of the skypups:
a proud warrior race.
Now his loyalties are to the emperor, same as mine.
We fight together.
One day we will probably die together.
That is all I have to say about that.
Things have been quiet lately... calm. All is at peace in the empire of Kitten, but we are preparing for something big. Emperor Mraow Mriowi has trained all the ninjas kitten in the lost art of cloud-surfing, and supplied each of us with the sky-kites we need to do it. Now we are called the sky-kittens. He has given me a great Dotanuki* whose blade is blacker than the black of night, or any other black I've ever seen. He has chosen me as the one to lead the sky-kittens. The emperor has great plans for us. There are those who wish to see Emperor Mraow Mriowi fall. Some would prefer our nation not be ruled by just one kitten... even if he was chosen to lead by the Great Cat in the Sky.** These heretic cowards crave power, and would love to sink their claws into even one such as Emperor Mraow Mriowi at the first opportunity. The Emperor, therefore, cannot afford to fail in even a single endeavor. I owe him much.
And I will not fail allow the sky-kittens to fail him.
That is all I have to say for today.
Myow Out.
-------------
* Dotanuki - A battle sword, literally translated from Kittenese: "sword that cuts through riding beasts."
** The Cat - He who has nine lives, and cannot lose one. He who created all that is, and chose kittenkind to rule over it.
