Dreamtale Triplets has my in a chokehold again. Unfinished, but sketch of them as little guys. Let them be so happy and lay in the grass and nothing bad ever happen to them- Wishful thinking, right?

Somnus Voidwalker
Former Member of Ash-Legion, Contract Killer and younger Brother of Xantin.
He vanished with his whole Warband during the Civil War. Nobody knew what happened - whether they died or deserted.
But one day a traveling Olmakhan found a lost Charr - Somnus. His expression was empty and yet there was pure horror in his eyes. But the young Charr was not able to tell what happened to him. He barely moved. He rarely spoke. He just sat there and stared.
The Olmakhan sensed something was wrong with this Charr. Bad spirits surrounded him. So he gifted him some of his lucky charms - He hung them on the massive horns of the rather smaller Charr.
They traveled together for a while, until Somnus suddenly snapped - Killing the friendly Olmakhan in a sudden fit of rage. Lost again he continued traveling, his former Companion still at his side.
He was once again found by another group of Charr. These were on their way to a special place. A safe haven for lost charr like them - and like Somnus.
There he was reunited with his older brother Xantin. But while Xantin was overwhelmed to see his younger brother again. Nothing moved in Somnus.
He just stared with empty eyes.
Even to this day Xantin is unawew what happened to Somnus. He often just sits in his corner and stares into the darkness. He's only moving to eat or go to sleep.
Xantin tries his best to take care of his brother. But with every day that passes, Xantin realizes that his brother is dead. He is just an empty shell.
One day he takes him to a walk. Determined to put him out of his suffering that day.
But to Xantins surprise Somnus started to talk to him. One short and clear state of mind - like he was back then, before the Civil war happened.
With his brother's words, Xantins wasn't able to go through with his plan. He took Somnus home again - returning to the old routine.
With Xantin at his side, Somnus now and then is able to return to a clear state of mind. And Xantin is the only one able to calm him down - every year, at the same day Somnus snappes in panic and rage. It's the day he once vanished.
---
Both brothers side by side.
Don't get fooled. Somnus is might be small, but he is very muscular. He hits hard - and his magic as Catalyst is even more devastating.
(I just wanted to try out Catalyst. So a new cat was born. That's how most of my Charrs come to life: I want a Char with that specific Spec. Soulborn Untamed is another one, soon to come. I already have rough ideas for her :3)

Old art. Assassin, a.k.a. Somnus, the Roman god/personification of sleep. In contrast to his Greek counterpart who is sweet-natured and harmless, Somnus lures people to sleep and then drowns them when they do fall asleep. As for those who don't fall asleep, he steals their eyes. He only has one eye (the poppies grow straight from inside his eyesocket) so maybe that's where his troubling fascination with eyes comes from...
