Southern Star - WarriorCats Fire Lilies AU Animatic

HAPPY NEW YEAR ‪@LenisLynx‬ !!!!

"Fireheart first meets Scourge when hunting for herbs on the fringes of Twolegplace. When Scourge later falls ill, he remembers the strange forest cat who said he had herbs to cure sickness - so he has Fireheart taken to see him. Fireheart is at first unnerved by the small leader of BloodClan, but seeing him sick and pathetic makes his heart melt. The two strike up an unlikely friendship.

Later Fireheart would have to rely on that friendship, when he, Bluestar, and Ravensong flee ThunderClan and Tigerstar. Scourge grants them sanctuary in BloodClan. But being in close proximity to Scourge in his role as leader of BloodClan, reveals a side to his friend that Fireheart was not fully aware of... and one he cannot condone."

This is my secret santa gift for my dear friend Imber, who has helped me so much this year and been just an amazing friend :) I am absolutely in love with their Warriors AU "Fire Lilies", where Fireheart becomes a medicine cat, which I also did the animatic God Help the Outcasts for. This video takes place around the same time period (which is honestly a VERY small slice of the full story, I just happen to like that slice a lot lol.) I wanted to explore Fireheart and Scourge's friendship. They have a complicated relationship, as they stand at polar opposite ends of ideals, and yet see the other as their brother... Fireheart is Scourge's first glimpse into a life that ISN'T choked in blood and violence, and for the first time he starts to think things could be...different. Unfortunately he doesn't figure it out before he drives Fireheart away. (It's a vast simplification of how things ACTUALLY go down in the AU, but it makes for a good video.)

I had been replaying this song and imagining this animatic for weeks before I was assigned Imber as my Secret Santee, and I just HAD to take the opportunity to speedrun a holiday animatic heh! Imber I hope you like it!!
