Still haven’t settle on a name for this story yet, the original one set in the warriors universe was Larkwings journey but i’m currently changing a few parts of the story and I feel like the name doesn’t rlly make sense anymore, in the warriors version the journey was larkwing becoming leader and now i’ve changed that part so I’ll figure out  name eventually :D

So in this storyline Lark is a healer for the community, he became a healer after being followed by a ghostly toad for a few days growing more and more uneasy until he confided in his mother of the ghostly apparition and she was overjoyed and told him that the stars had granted him their blessing to become a healer. Every healer was given a guide from their ancestors, each taking a different form, to provide a connection to them. Lark had always been fascinated by the healers of his communiy and often followed his mother around as she completed her duties and so he threw himself into his new work, still uneasy about the quiet toad following him but otherwise was happy he found his place among his people.

In order to carry herbs and such Lark has a satchel and 2 wrist guards to protect his legs when diving into brambles and thistles for the harder to reach plants and he often wears a bandanna gifted to him by his mother. Briar also wears 2 wrist guards and a small tail guard as his position often leads him to scraps with outsiders and feral wildlife but he also has his own satchel that he uses when travelling large distances or to the local market.

The community Lark and Briar both live in specialise in a few different areas of crafting in order to trade with merchants and provide for the group. Clay for example is very good at making pottery, given his name, and they either use the bowls for water around their camp or trade at the market. Brook (tallbrook) is a guard but given he is one of the biggest cats within the group he usually has the task of carrying the rabbits pelts the group hunt down to the market with his daughter hazel (hazelkit) helping along with the feathers she had caught. Clarion (clearnose) is still deaf in this story and I really want to figure out a way I can incorporate more accessible things for her when interacting with the group, who already know enough signs to communicate with her, or outsiders such as travelling merchants or cats from the town. She’s admiring the gift her mate Hawk (hawkstripe) gifted to her.

-First time at the market-

Lark and Briar both live in a community that are more rural and on special occasions have the opportunity to travel to the local town where the group trade their wares for other items found in the bigger communities.

This is their first time seeing so many cats and treasure and food they had never seen or tried before and so from then on they always volunteered to help out the older cats when they travelled to the market.

I’m still keeping with the ‘clan’ type living but instead of having them just be feral cats I’ve decided to introduce more human aspects such as markets and trading with other cats who live in more ‘advanced’ communities :D

Took about 4 hours on this just having fun and chilling out, really wanna do more pieces like this cause they’re so soothing to do!
