Hi-ho! It's TIImMMMEEeEEEe! Tis i, Cryp! Here with @Chupi__ to give updates on our upcoming Warriors Cats comic, ONCE! ONCE is heavily inspired by various media, the most prominent being The Apothecary Diaries. ONCE follows Beetlepaw (mostly colored cat in the first and last images) And Dawnpaw (Orange cat beside beetle in the lineup, as well as the fully colored icon in the second to last image) Beetlepaw is a young medicine cat apprentice in WildClan Dawnpaw is a young warrior apprentice in wild clan For as long as they can remember, there's been a prophecy about a young cat who will save the clans from a terrible fate. Beetle isn't superstitious, but Dawnpaw believes its him and dedicates his life to being the hero. After it's revealed that one of the WildClan cats is a spy for the dark forest, things get sticky. The clan gets suspicious of each other and Beetlepaw grows quicker to anger, having more cats to worry about when people get jumpy. Dawnpaw rises to the challenge to prove himself, but what if he's not the hero everyone thinks he is? A danger lurks over the clans of the valley, threatening to destroy everything they have worked for. Want to see how the story goes? Listen close, because its only told...ONCE upon a time.
