...and eventually finds its way back to its water origin."
StelciarStelciar refers to the spirits of cats that have lived all nine of their lives and are reborn as souls. These spirits appear as cats with wings, and both their wings and tails are enveloped in a breathtakingly beautiful mist of fiery smoke..
OriginWhen all living beings pass away, their souls will eventually return to the origin of all existence, often referred to as the 'ocean'. However, as a soul journeys further, the determination it held during life becomes more pronounced. This causes it to gradually detach from the main soul mass and descend toward the ocean's surface. This process occurs before the soul can sink to the ocean floor.However, this phenomenon doesn't apply to the 'cat'. Upon reaching the vast ocean, cats who have experienced their ninth life undergo a different fate. Instead of entering a slumber beneath the ocean depths, their souls are reborn as a tenth life known as 'Stelciar'. |

Why were they given the 10th life?Once, there was a cat that remained faithfully by the side of its best friend, a human. However, fate intervened and separated the two companions. Tragically, the cat's lifespan was brief. Sensing the impending loss of its cherished human companion, the cat fervently appealed to God. It beseeched for an extension of its life, desiring to be reunited with its friend for a more extended period. Touched by the depth of love the cat exhibited for humanity, God empathized and granted its plea. As a result, the cat received an additional eight lives, allowing it to share a prolonged existence with its human counterparts.In return for this extraordinary gift, once the cat's ninth life concluded, it was bound to a special commitment. It would devote its tenth life to becoming a bearer of souls, guiding the departed to their afterlife under God's service. The cat willingly embraced this agreement. Consequently, each cat that completed nine lives would subsequently be reborn as a Stelciar. In this unique role, they would guide the souls of the departed until their tenth and final life was fulfilled. |
The life of Stelciar
After being born in the tenth life, they have to continue living to fulfill their covenant duties.
FoodStelciar, resembling ghostly beings, don't rely on food for sustenance. However, they occasionally indulge in tasting human food, especially the rare delicacies. This might explain why the food humans have recently purchased unexpectedly spoils, as Stelciar consume only the most delectable flavors.
RestingStelciar don't require sleep in the conventional sense. Instead, they need a specific period to rejuvenate their energy. However, driven by their feline instincts, they occasionally find themselves surreptitiously dozing off.

HabitatsStelciar possess the ability to soar through the skies without restrictions, explaining their widespread presence across the Earth. However, they remain invisible to human eyes. They might choose to dwell within cities, forests, along coastlines, or even return to their places of origin. This phenomenon clarifies the instances when your cat(s) seem to gaze at empty spaces—they might actually be observing the Stelciar who have come to pay a visit.
ReproductionStelciar typically doesn't place significant importance on inheritance. Unlike regular cats, they don't adhere to breeding seasons. Instead, the birth of Stelciar's offspring arises from the mutual affection and cohabitation of the two Stelciar. Typically, their litters consist of about 1 to 6 offspring, with an average of approximately 4. |

Day/nightWhen the sun is high in the sky, the radiance emanating from Stelciar's forms becomes dimmed and less brilliant compared to their nighttime glow. This diminished visibility occasionally leads to accidental collisions and minor conflicts among them, although these incidents are not particularly grave. During such warm periods, Stelciar tend to cope by licking their fur to cool off. They then seek out shaded spots for a comfortable nap or might opt to rest in the corners of human rooms, where cool air conditioning provides relief.
Solar eclipseDuring a solar Eclipse, an infrequent event when the moon's shadow covers the earth, there's a brief span in which the radiance of Stelciar becomes distinctly visible to humans. Consequently, only a limited number of people have the chance to witness them directly with their own eyes.

Stelciar's Power
Shooting star form
Stelciar are remarkably swift beings, darting through the sky akin to shooting stars. Occasionally, a streak of vibrant light will trail behind them, marking their path before they vanish. Observing such a luminous trail is a strong indication of a Stelciar in flight. |

Cat spirit
Stelciar remain invisible to all creatures except for cats and a related lineage like Phosray. They possess the ability to pass through objects seamlessly. This capability occasionally leads them to offer assistance and guidance in a way that seems miraculous, often going unnoticed as a Stelciar who had been observing steps in to help. This can create a sense of encountering a fairy or a benevolent guardian, similar to a fairy godparent. |
soul-guiding
Stelciar will approach the body of a deceased living being and extract its soul. Some souls may resist or find it challenging to accept the reality of their death. Stelciar might offer assistance in calming those troubled souls. Upon reaching the ocean, Stelciar separates the soul from its determination. The determination is placed atop the ocean surface, while the soul is gently settled at the bottom of the ocean.
Stelciar's role extends beyond guiding lost souls; they also play a crucial part in the process of extracting determination from departed souls. Before a soul sinks to the ocean floor, it needs to gain additional weight to facilitate its descent. Simultaneously, the determination within the soul is detached and allowed to float along the stream. This intricate process paves the way for the soul to be reborn as a new life known as "Phosray."
The belief of StelciarAlthough humans cannot typically perceive Stelciar, there are instances on dark nights when their radiance intensifies to the point where they appear as moving orbs of light. This occurrence has led to misunderstandings that have spread widely. For instance, they've been mistaken for fireballs traversing through forests, morphing into mythical spirits in various cultures. Similarly, their playful flights and chases have been misconstrued as waterborne fireball displays, giving rise to local festivals. Additionally, their presence in the sea has sparked mysteries and challenges, even leading to worship in certain regions.Stelciar find these whimsical misinterpretations quite amusing. Occasionally, they would sit and listen to the eerie tales about themselves that humans share with one another. |
