The witch promised me a throne. I should have known not to trust that old crone again. I feel like we've played this game a thousand times through a millennia of vying for power over the other. I must admit this time she really got me. The transformation spell was humiliating enough but... well, let me introduce you to my human. Her name is Melody, but that is not what I call her in this cat language. She calls me Princess Fluffernutter. Which I assure you is not my name. I am a boy cat. Prince Fluffernutter, if you please!
