Brother Marmalade's Arc

Chapter 1 of 1

Brother Marmalade sat on the dusty curb of New Hyrule's market square, watching three young alley cats knock over a vendor's basket. The bell on his red collar jingled as he shook his round head. These street cats needed help—real help. They deserved to learn how to walk with grace, how to speak politely, and how to eat without making a mess. His dream burned bright in his chest: he would open a school right here in New Hyrule, a place where any stray could learn proper etiquette and find dignity. But he needed the right location first. Brother Marmalade trotted through the morning streets, yellow eyes scanning every building. The old shops were too loud. The abandoned barns smelled awful. Then he spotted it at the edge of town—a large moss-covered stump tucked against the tree line. He pushed through the thick moss and found a hidden door. Inside, soft light glowed from the walls. Small windows dotted the curved interior. The space felt safe and secret, perfect for nervous strays who needed privacy while they learned. Brother Marmalade's whiskers twitched forward. This would be his school. He would teach every street cat in New Hyrule how to hold their head high.
