Lyressi and Circhya
from Twist of Fate 		Twist of Fate is a "prequel" of sorts to One Last Hope. It takes place several thousand years before the events in One Last Hope. Lyressi is a native of the planet Y'leth, inhabited by cat-like humanoids. She is captured by raiders and sold into slavery, transported to Chikar, which orbits the same star but is populated by more mouse-like inhabitants.

Forced to become a gladiator, she befriends Circhya, a fellow slave, and together, they fight to survive and regain their freedom... their best hope is the magic powers that Lyressi is slowly learning how to use...
