#ie cats having unicorn horns to heal people

[penguuthegentoo]

Taking a pause from my mouse posting to drop some concept sketches for my high fantasy take on my clangen cats 🙈

Introducing Juniperwhisper! A childhood friend of Redsmoke. He's rather soft spoken and good natured and often finds Redsmoke's rare prickly nature rather amusing.

SO inspired by the idea that Redsmoke was actually an ancient starclan cat reborn-- I ran with it. Putting it under a readmore cause it's _a lot_. Can you tell I've been playing a ton of dnd lately lmao??

In this wc world, there was a mythos about cats back at the dawn of the clans that were blessed by these great mythical beasts. The Unicorn, the Chimera and the elusive and unknown Phoenix.

Cats blessed with by the horn were made to be great healers, using some inate magic within the horn to convert their own life and spirit into intense healing. Tragically, that life transference lowered the life expectantly of those blessed by the horn.

Cats blessed by the claw were born with intense strength and battle prowess and were often given the role of guards and warriors. They were the ones tasked with defending the clan against threats of harrowing size (like wolves and mountain lions and other large, dangerous creatures.)

Cats...er... the cat blessed by the flame, sports a wing like pattern on his shoulders and has the ability of the Phoenix to be reborn again. In actuality-- he has an ability similar to the protag of Erased LMAO. Bit of a groundhog day situation where he has to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it before the day/moment repeats itself. No one other than him really understands the power of the Phoenix and don't really piece together the work he's done for his clan.

Fast forward to modern day. The clans are returning to their territories after the Ashen Plague hit and made the entire area unlivable. Feeling daring and adventurous, a young warrior begins to explore the barren ashen wasteland that was the Great Tree and stumbles upon what she thought was a dead petrified cat-- but was actually a living warrior! Redsmoke! How curious...
