Johnny - Warriors OC Animatic Riley G 2020-09-11 | Content Warnings for death, decay, and injuryI decided to make my first warriors OCs a few months ago for kicks and giggles and now I’m INVESTEDI’ve been working on this one for a while now! I made the rough version of this video a few months ago, and decided I wanted to try and polish it up a bit. Then, polishing it up turned into... this, I guess! If you notice points where the style of the lineart or designs of the characters shift a bit... those are the points where I picked the project back up again, haha!Characters are as follows:Hawkpaw (white w/ black spots)Puddlepaw (fluffy with dark face/paws/tail)Whitepaw (white streak on nose)Mudpaw (“Johnny” aka the one with the black stripes)Unnamed mentor (half n’ half w/ white)So the basic storyline here starts with a group of apprentices: Hawkpaw, Puddlepaw, and Whitepaw. Once, when out hunting (i.e. playing), they happen upon a tree that smells of rot. When they decide to dig up whatever has died there, they happen upon a... stash of mutilated birds? They are appropriately confused.At the same time, we see flashes of the recent past. Mudpaw’s mentor is kiiind of a (massive) jerk, and takes out a lot of aggression on him. As a result, Mudpaw ends up feeling powerless in his situation, and takes out his aggression out on the prey he catches. When that aggression gets to be too much, and the kill is not enough, he mutilates his catches, and then buried the evidence. His clan doesn’t realize just how much hate and resentment he’s bottling up, and this bottled aggression and resentment drives a rift between himself and his clanmates.EDIT: as they are no longer indicative of the story's direction, I removed the following sentences from the story summary![ If left unchecked, he might move on to bigger prey...Anyway what I’m saying here is that there’s a growing potential serial killer in their clan and no one realizes it. ]

Shut Eye || Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2024-05-29 | ITS DONE ITS DONE THE CURSE IS LIFTED THE LARKSTAR PMV IS DONEEEEEEEEI started this video way back in late 2022, and I'm so happy that it's finally finished and that I can share it with you all!!While working on this video back in early 2023, I got hit with some pretty intense creative burnout. For MONTHS, I couldn't even look at this project without feeling an overwhelming sense of dread, even when I thought to myself that I wanted to work on it. I was worried for a while that I would never be able to feel passion for this project again, that I would never pick it back up, and that it would remain half-finished forever. I had to give myself the time and space to distance myself from the project and let myself rest. And then, towards the end of March, I was finally, FINALLY able to begin working on it again! It has been so rewarding to return to the work I thought would never see the light of day again, to breathe new life into it, and to finally finish it! I very much hope you all enjoy it!!For a bit of story context, look further down in the description!!~~~~~~~~~~~The song in this video is Shut Eye by Stealing Sheep, and can be found here: youtu.be/hVyGJ1G2Iog?si=gGCAYnV65MUuuty2~~~~~~~~~~~Story:This PMV tells the story of a part of Micaclan's past, shown from the point of view of the young warrior Larksong, who would one day grow to be the clan leader. The clan faces hard times, but Larksong gives her all to support her clanmates in whatever way she can. Her sense of responsibility drives her to not only serve those who cannot care for themselves, but to also help her former mentor Ospreyclaw as they guide their new apprentice Foxpaw in the ways that honorable warriors act. When an even greater tragedy strikes, their home destroyed and death abounding, Larksong looks at her broken clan and promises herself that she will hold them together, and keep her remaining family strong, in whatever way she can. This video was more of a spin-off of my usual story videos, but if you want to see Micaclan in the current day, the main story playlist can be found here:Playlist of the story videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVOF7ezmu_xzt_Fxmz53MaSNz85RkDR2~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fMy Patreon || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I use the app Procreate to draw, and Procreate Dreams / CapCut to edit!Q: What brush set do you use for your drawings?A: I primarily use the brush set Jingsketch Basic 10, which can be downloaded here: jingsketch.gumroad.com/l/JingsketchBrushesQ: Who are these kitties in these videos??A: These are some original characters from a story I've been developing on my channel!Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?A: YES YES ALWAYS YES, I love seeing it!!

Lullaby || Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2024-03-14 | For context of what's happening in this video, some story details can be found further down in the description!Hello all!! It feels good to have a little more to share for Mudpaw and his story :) I've unfortunately been dealing with some pretty intense creative burnout for the past few months, so working on personal projects like this has been difficult. I've been doing better, lately, though! I planned/storyboarded this video all the way back in August last year, but I've been ping-ponging between different projects up until just recently. I had a lot of ideas, but I just couldn't find what felt right to work on, if that makes sense? I would try to force myself to work on a cool idea, but then it would never come out right, because my heart wasn't in it. Then I would go a long time without drawing anything, which would make me feel worse, because I wasn't being productive, and THAT would make me want to force myself to work on projects MORE, which obviously did not work out well haha. I was just kind of caught up in a loop of trying to force myself into being better, instead of actually taking time to rest, and then making my burnout worse. Would not recommend!!I'm trying to be more careful about listening to my brain/body and taking breaks when I need them. I'm so much more proud of my work when I'm making things with real passion! Thank you all for your continued patience and support, it means so much to me :')~~~~~~~~~~~The song in this video is a cover of Rider's Lullaby, which is from the show Centaurworld! The cover was sung by me in a coat closet HAHAyou can listen to the original version here: youtu.be/lwwjjWPgTE4?si=uDbmmn9MGQ-QeVad~~~~~~~~~~~Story:Owlpounce, the clan healer, has taken on a new apprentice. She has high hopes for him, after receiving a sign from Starclan telling her to train him in the ways of medicine. However, it's becoming clear that Mudpaw has a lot to work through; the death of his previous mentor seems to be affecting him greatly. This is to be expected, of course! No young cat would be able to shrug off something so serious as the unexpected death of a mentor. Owlpounce promises herself to be as supportive as she can be. She'll do her very best to guide her new apprentice through these trying times.Things may not be as they seem, though; Owlpounce doesn't have the full picture...Playlist of the story videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVOF7ezmu_xzt_Fxmz53MaSNz85RkDR2~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fMy Patreon || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I use the app Procreate to draw, and Procreate Dreams / CapCut to edit!Q: What brush set do you use for your drawings?A: I primarily use the brush set Jingsketch Basic 10, which can be downloaded here: jingsketch.gumroad.com/l/JingsketchBrushesQ: Who are these kitties in these videos??A: These are some original characters from a story I've been developing on my channel!Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?A: YES YES ALWAYS YES, I love seeing it!!

there i am || OC PMV Riley G 2023-12-25 | what if i posted new ocs with entirely new lore and worldbuilding, haha jk jk... unless?This video was a lot of fun to work on!! I love getting to use funky colors in these sorts of things ^^ Since most of my videos center around my warriors OCs, I end up drawing what feels like hundreds of cats and zero (0) humans, so this was a nice change of pace. Also I got to draw a lot of hands for this, which is always a nice challenge!! The video quality got kinda crunchy after uploading for some reason, but it honestly kinda fits the aesthetic so whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯An explanation about the characters/events is further down in the description, if you're interested!~~~~~~~~~~~I read that the original creator of this audio doesn't want to be associated with it anymore; I got this from an extended/edited version here:youtu.be/j1sTtVR4oqs?si=6YYEnd7XppS3envoThe backing track of this audio is called "Make You Wanna" from Ta-ku, and can be found here:youtu.be/8GRQobLixrU?si=AhcB4Ip-sBSM9Dae~~~~~~~~~~~ The main character shown in this PMV is named Vaitus! He's the prince of his (as of yet unnamed) kingdom. Some people in the kingdom have natural magical abilities, with each person's magic being unique to them/their families. Vaitus's magic is the main source of conflict for his character; it seemingly allows him to drain the life-force/vitality from anything living (plants, animals, people, etc). This, paired with the fact that the kingdom's crown amplifies the magic of whoever is the current ruler, is a source of constant discomfort and anxiety for Vaitus, who really would like to not hurt anyone, please and thank you. The power of the crown looms over his future, and he struggles to find a way to use his magic for good, rather than for ill, before it's too late. His father, the king, doesn't share these feelings or aspirations. Instead, he has decided that, wow, having the prince of the kingdom being able to kill with a touch is sick as hell, let's use him to execute enemies of the state. What a show of power! Vaitus is not especially happy with this arrangement, but has no real way of refusing his father. He masks his true feelings as best he can, and struggles to deal with the fallout once he has time alone. Vaitus is technically the deuteragonist of the story, and the other deuteragonist is named Minare, who is a secret resistance leader/figurehead! I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an opportunity to make a video centering on her, but I haven't found anything that really fits her story/vibes just yet.~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fMy Patreon || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I used the app Procreate to plan my frames/draw thumbnail sketches, Procreate Dreams to finish frames/animate, and CapCut to edit!Q: What brush set do you use for your drawings?A: I primarily use the brush set Jingsketch Basic 10, which can be downloaded here: jingsketch.gumroad.com/l/JingsketchBrushesQ: Who are the characters in this video??A: These are some original characters from a story I've come up with!

The Accident || Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2023-05-08 | This could be considered a sequel to my "is it cold outside?" video! We're taking a closer look at the events of that snowy night so long ago.~~~~~~~~~~~Audio source (begins around the 5:40 mark, edits added by me): youtu.be/W7l5AOOqNyQ~~~~~~~~~~~Possum, a former Micaclan member turned rogue, finds himself haunted by the worst night of his life.Several moons ago, at the beginning of leaf-fall, the mountains were hit with an unexpectedly early snowstorm. When they should have been safe from the storm, his mate Sweetpea and their kit, Muddy, are instead driven from their former home, a twoleg den, by a fire. Helpless to save them, Possum could only watch from the outside and call out to his family.Disoriented from smoke inhalation, the searing heat, and the loss of her home, Sweetpea still manages to protect their kitten from danger, and Possum meets her at the safety of the tree line behind the blazing wreck. With leaf-bare seemingly arriving without leaf-fall ever having had a chance to come, Possum knows he won't be able to care for his mate and kit on his own. He knows of a way they might be safe; it would be a long shot, but his former clan might be able to help them through leaf-bare. However, the journey proves to be too much for Sweetpea. The smoke and heat of the fire followed by the icy winds of the snowstorm take their toll, and she succumbs to her injuries.Left with only their kitten, Possum cannot take long to mourn her loss. Their kit can hardly shiver anymore, and now, more than ever, he needs to be taken somewhere warm. Possum journeys further up the mountain, all the way into Micaclan territory, where he meets a former clanmate, Wrentail.Wrentail meets Possum with all the hostility a clan cat can muster toward a rogue on their territory, but Possum pleads for his help; his kitten is dangerously cold, and far too small to be able to eat any food that Possum might catch for him. With his mother gone and his home destroyed, the tiny kitten is in dire need of help.Wrentail knows the Code. Any kitten in danger must be cared for, no matter where that kitten comes from. He agrees to take the kit to the clan's nursery, but Possum is a traitor to the clan. If he steps one paw onto Micaclan's territory, crosses their borders by a single whisker, Wrentail will rip him apart. With one last glare, Wrentail takes the tiny kit, whom Possum tells him should be named Mudkit, to the clan camp. Possum is left at the border of the territory, alone.Playlist of the story videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVOF7ezmu_xzt_Fxmz53MaSNz85RkDR2~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fMy Patreon || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I use the app Procreate to draw and CapCut to edit!Q: What brush set do you use for your drawings?A: I primarily use the brush set Jingsketch Basic 10, which can be downloaded here: jingsketch.gumroad.com/l/JingsketchBrushesQ: Who are these kitties in these videos??A: These are some original characters from a story I've been developing on my channel!Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?A: YES YES ALWAYS YES, I love seeing it!!

Tiresias || Warriors OC Animatic Riley G 2023-03-25 | Heehee new lore time :) This one was a lot of fun to work on, and since I decided to do minimal details, it didn't take me too long! I've wanted an excuse to have Birchspeckle show up in an actual story video so I'm glad she's here now :)~~~~~~~~~~~Original Audio: youtu.be/ceBwuJZTu3o~~~~~~~~~~~Tiny bit of backstory :)Skipping a bit ahead in the story from the events of The Omen, Mudpaw has been officially apprenticed under Owlpounce for a few weeks at this point. After being introduced to the clan's enigmatic second healer, Birchspeckle, he learns that her mysterious powers and connection to the dead affords her knowledge beyond any other cat's imagination. He decides to go to her secluded den in hopes of getting some insight from her regarding his origins. He knows his clanmates treat him differently for a reason, and he wants to know the truth.When he dares to ask her what she knows, Birchspeckle reveals that she not only knows where he came from, but she also knows the secret he has desperately been trying to hide: that he was responsible for his previous mentor's death. She reassures him that she has not told anyone else, and that she will keep his secret for now, but will be keeping an eye on him. Shaken by the knowledge of his origin and his secret being known, Mudpaw leaves Birchspeckle's den with a heavy and anxious heart.Playlist of the story videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVOF7ezmu_xzt_Fxmz53MaSNz85RkDR2~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fMy Patreon || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I use the app Procreate to draw and CapCut to edit!Q: Who are these kitties in these videos??A: These are some original characters from a story I've been developing on my channel!Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?A: YES YES ALWAYS YES, I love seeing it!!

Spirited Away || animation meme [REUPLOAD] Riley G 2022-11-09 | Hi everyone!! It was brought to my attention that Mr Kitty, the creator of the song used in the original version of this meme, has publicly admitted to some very heinous actions involving a minor. I have absolutely no desire to support such an individual, so I have muted and unlisted my original video using this meme, and have created a new version using different audio! The song in this version is called "Spirited Away Away Away Away Away Away" and its made by @pkchmusic!

emo cat has anger issues Riley G 2022-09-12 | HEY hi hello :) here's some silly kitty ocs being dramatic and yelling about their feelings!! They are from an ongoing story that I'm telling through various videos on my channel, so if you're curious about them, consider checking out the main story PMVs!Playlist of the story videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVOF7ezmu_xzt_Fxmz53MaSNz85RkDR2Characters in this video:Mudpaw - dark grey/black tabby yelling about being madPuddlepaw - poofy one with pointed markingsWhitepaw - fluffy cheeks with a white nose streakHawkpaw - white with black patchesStory:In this one, the apprentices start bonding! Whitepaw, Hawkpaw, and Puddlepaw are told by their mentors to try being more supportive toward their denmate, Mudpaw, after he loses his mentor to an accidental fall. They go hunting together, but end up stopping by one of the many waterfalls in their territory. There, a conversation ensues, and Mudpaw, being quite touchy, yells at the others. Puddlepaw decides they've had enough, and they yell back. This devolves into an argument about Mudpaw's attitude, and he begins to vent about his feelings. It was no secret to the apprentices that Mudpaw's relationship with his (now deceased) mentor was rough, but they learn that the situation surrounding his death may have sparked more than just grief in their denmate.Unbeknownst to the rest of his clanmates, Mudpaw was directly responsible for the death of his mentor, and is now having trouble handling the fallout. Why can't he just be happy that his horrible mentor is gone?Audio is from Avatar the Last Airbender, from the episode The Beach!~~~~~~~~~~~My Discord || discord.gg/NvBNdKmV7fBecome a Patron! || patreon.com/RileyGMy ko-fi || ko-fi.com/rileygMy Instagram || @iiryebreadiiMy Tumblr || @rileys-battlecats~~~~~~~~~~~Answered Questions:Q: What programs did you use to make this video?A: I use the app Procreate to draw and iMovie to edit!Q: Who are these kitties??A: These are some original characters from a story I've been developing on my channel!Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?A: YES YES ALWAYS YES, I love seeing it!!

The Omen - Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2022-06-10 | [EDIT: I’ve gotten a few comments asking where the song is from, I made it in GarageBand! No extended version unfortunately, I’m not a musician so this being somewhat catchy was very much a fluke on my part lol]This is just a quick little video I wanted to make! I've got a few different things in the works right now, but I wanted this one to be done first, since it's got a major plot point for Mudpaw's story! I'm not super happy with the whole thing, but I DO like the animated bit and the ending :) I used Procreate to do all the drawing/animating, and put it together in iMovie!Characters in order of appearance:Owlpounce (clan medicine cat)Foxjaw (clan deputy [left])Larkstar (clan leader [right])Mudpaw (newly-mentorless apprentice)Story:In a tragedy the clan couldn't have foreseen, a senior warrior of the clan, Wrentail, dies in an accidental fall from a waterfall. His apprentice, Mudpaw, is left without a mentor. When Owlpounce, the clan's medicine cat, finds a flower growing in the creek's muddy bank, she knows it's an omen from Starclan. She takes on the young cat as her apprentice, in hopes that finding a new purpose will help him come to terms with his mentor's death. However, not everything is as it seems....Starclan tried to provide a warning to the clan in the form of an omen. Wrentail's death was no accident, and Mudpaw was directly responsible for his death. When the omen Starclan sends is misinterpreted, though, it ends up having wildly different effects than intended. Starclan: oh, I know! let's send an omen to the clan about this mudpaw guy. i mean he literally killed his mentor. *makes ghost pipe flower grow in mud* yeah thatll work. it's a GHOST flower, it's coming from MUD, aka, mudpaw made a ghost. this is fool-proof.Owlpounce: ooo is that a ghost pipe flower? those are good for treating anxiety! wait, in the mud? is this saying that Mudpaw could heal from his anxieties and the death of his mentor through herbs? new apprentice time????Starclan: Owlpounce: i cant wait to tell larkstar

The Garden - Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2022-04-29 | Content warning for blood, violence, and animal deathThe next chapter of Mudpaw's story! I think I'll update this description when my brain's a little less fried. This video's been in the making since August of 2021, and I'm so happy to finally have it done!!The song in this video is called The Garden, from the band The Crane Wives. Their music is so so beautiful, you should definitely give their other songs a listen!!Here's the link to their channel: youtube.com/user/thecranewivesEDIT: Ok, here's the basic storyline! This will include details from previous videos, as they provide some pretty important background info for the characters and their motivations. The video centers around a young apprentice named Mudpaw, and his rather... complicated relationship with his mentor, Wrentail.See, Wrentail isn't exactly the warm-fuzzies kind of guy; he is verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive toward Mudpaw (for reasons which will be explored in the future). Mudpaw, in turn, has no idea how to handle the frustration and fear this abuse causes. Often, he ends up taking out his aggression on the prey he catches, particularly birds.The video opens on Mudpaw surveying the Clan's camp. He sees this community of cats he lives with, but believes--knows--he is not a part of it. When he catches sight of his mentor, Wrentail, surrounded by clanmates who offer him respect and admiration, he leaves in frustration. Now alone, he snarls at the birds that seem to follow him everywhere, but soon after seems a bit regretful of his outburst. The birds are both a distraction and a lie, a symbol of all his troubles. They mock him and he hates it, but then hates that he hates so much. He doesn't know what to do with all his anger.Flash forward to later, in combat training with the other apprentices and their mentors. Mudpaw sees what a mentorship is supposed to be like, contrasted to his own strained relationship with Wrentail. He is desperate for someone to notice him hurting, to notice how alone he is; he doesn't know what he's doing wrong. All he knows is that the little ball of hate in his heart grows each time his mentor looks at him in distain.Clan life continues. At a clan meeting, tasks are divided up, and Wrentail is tasked with taking his apprentice hunting. No One Is Happy With This Arrangement. On the hunt, Mudpaw catches a sizable crow, but Wrentail ignores him, offering only biting comments about Mudpaw's hunting. Mudpaw feels blood sticking to his paws, and wonders.Walking down an old deer trail near the cliffside, Mudpaw walks in his usual place, just behind Wrentail. He has been thinking and contemplating and dreaming--for once, just once, he wants Wrentail to know how it feels. To know how it feels to be attacked when you're supposed to be safe, to be betrayed by a clanmate you're supposed to trust. So, Mudpaw leaps at his mentor. They scuffle about, and its clear that Mudpaw is not winning this fight that he started. Wrentail is older, more experienced, and more bulky than his wiry apprentice, but Mudpaw is just so angry, he continues the fight anyway. They bump their way down the hill and into a stream that ends in a waterfall. Mudpaw is ready to face his mentor, his tormenter, he is--but. But Wrentail has been knocking him around for nearly half his life, and Mudpaw, in fear, takes one step back. Just one.It's enough to make him slip. Mudpaw clings desperately to a rock at the edge of the falls, sees Wrentail approach, and knows that this is the end. This will be the last time Wrentail pushes him, and it will be the last thing Mudpaw sees. He closes his eyes.But its not the end. Wrentail, spitting mad, soaking wet, and ready to tear his apprentice a new one, hauls Mudpaw over the edge of the waterfall. What was his idiot apprentice thinking, pulling a stunt like that? Mudpaw stares up at Wrentail from the water. And he sees an opportunity.He reels backAnd sends Wrentail off the edge of the falls.Mudpaw looks down from the top of the falls. He's finally in a position of power, he's finally not the one being hurt, he's finally gotten his revenge. But why doesn't this feel like victory?Night falls. Mudpaw brings a few senior warriors down to where the falls lead, and shows them Wrentail's body. They drag the body to camp, where the Clan mourns the loss of a powerful senior warrior. Cats offer comfort to the apprentice who has lost his mentor, and Mudpaw doesn't know what to do with it. He's lied about what happened, and everyone is finally looking at him, seeing him, but they aren't seeing what's really there, are they? They sit vigil.The next morning, they bury Wrentail. Mudpaw is helping to dig. The same way he dug graves for all the small birds he mutilated before; burying his shame.

Able - Warriors OC PMV Riley G 2021-05-16 | that awkward moment when you dream of murdering your mentor 😳If you've seen my other video about my OCs, Johnny, you might recognize these characters! In this one, its just a day in the life of Mudpaw, with all the frustrations that accompany him.I've had this idea in my head for a few months now, but only just recently got the time to work on it! I had the color palettes planned out since December hahaIf you want to know more about these characters and haven't seen my other OC vid, here's the link!youtube.com/watch?v=kAWVNiVWZT0

Tigerstar - The Once and Future King Riley G 2020-12-27 | cw: blood, animal deathA video for Mr Big Bad, Tigerstar. When I thought about the super editions, it seemed like this guy was set up to be a bad guy from the beginning of his life. Fresh out the womb and starclan was like “oh now THATS an evil baby”But who knows! If he’d had better influences in his life, or if someone had taught him better about the dangers of his ambition when he was younger, maybe things would have ended differently for him. Or maybe not, and starclan was right in saying he was evil from the very beginning.Anyway! This one was fun to work on, but I started running out of steam toward the end there. I wanted to do those subtle animations I included, but they ended up taking a lot out of me! Also, I underestimated how much work it would be fully color in every frame, hahaCharacters in order of appearance (not including the first frame cause that’s a lot of characters): Tigerstar, Scourge, Goosefeather, Thistleclaw, Goldenflower, Bramblepaw, and TawnypawThe song is called Once and Future King, by the Mechanisms. It’s from an album called High Noon Over Camelot, and its basically the Arthurian legends but in space. I definitely recommend giving them a listen!themechanisms.bandcamp.com
