Wings of Fire × Fantasy patrol Crossover art

Context: Alyonka (Helen), the magic girl, and Vlad, the human and also ex-shapeshifter, fight evil wizard called the Vizier. They try to take him down and destroy the magic musical instrument (i've no idea what this thing is) he's holding. Alyonka uses her fire powers, Vlad uses a dagger. Also Alyonka is REALLY enranged cause she thinks that the Vizier was the one who turned her parents into stone (btw they're on the bc).

some other versions

/btw, the Vizier is actually not a villain. He's a cool guy, but he just never told anyone his plans.

English (from left to right):

- Another abandoned kitten under my door... WAIT! You're not a kitten!

- Jadwiga! MEOW!!! I'm THE Keeper, not a babysitter!!!

- "There on trails past knowing

Are tracks of beasts you never met..." (Pushkin's Ruslan and Ludmila; I used Walter Arndt's translation)

- ALYONUSHKA!!! (a diminutive of Alyona which also can work as a diminutive of Yelena/Helena).

The other day I rewatched all the episodes of Fantasy Patrol. Finally did some fanart. An idea for this AU was born a long, LONG time ago. In this universe, little Alyonka was adopted by the Learned Cat. A-a-and you probably didn't understand a thing if you haven't watched the series. I'll explain some small details and you go check out Fantasy Patrol on YouTube, it's a fun Russian magic girls show! :D

Originally, the learned cat (also sometimes translated as educated cat or wise cat) - is a cat that tells fairytales and walks around the golden chain on the oak tree by the shore of Lukomorye - a magic place created by A. Pushkin in his poem Ruslan and Ludmila (the very beginning of it).

In Fantasy Patrol the Cat (yep, we call him just Cat) is the keeper. His job is to keep everything in order in fairytales, keep them a secret from humans and keep humans safe from magic.

Alyona (Helena in english dub) as a baby was originally sent from fantasy world to a human world, a small town where the Cat lived and some other fairytales stayed.

Oh, almost forgot! Jadwiga is the name of Baba Yaga (Jadwiga Petrovna - her first and paternal names, respectively) but in English dub they called her Barbara Yogurt (???) I don't know how to spell her last name, but there's no way I'm gonna use the ridiculous name replacements, nu-uh, no fair. Jadwiga works as a guide for human tourists coming to town. She's one of those characters who helps the fairytales to hide behind a facade of regular entertainment.

So, I've created an AU where Cat adopts little Alyonka, bc I just wanted more adoptive parent dynamic with the cat dad and his fire kitten. :3
