Allegiances & terminology

there are four groups of cats, called passels (passelementals). the cats within each group have powers and adaptations based on what passel they are in. there are the Volcanites, who are a fireproof bunch who are immune to heat. the Avians, who glide among the cliffs that they live in. the Forestines, who have large bat-like ears and poison fangs, and tend to dye themselves bright colors using the vibrant flowers in their jungle territory. and lastly, the Oceanics, these ocean-dwelling cats can breathe underwater and have fins that help them navigate their ocean terrain with ease. there are also the cats of the Sparselands, who have none of the passeleste's gifts. one of these cats learns of a vision that details the fate of the Avians, and decides the take matters into his own paws.
