[there is a massive, three-headed dog sniffing around Lindbergh's workshop. the rightmost head is lowered to sniff under a table while the center head attempts to look at something on a shelf. the leftmost head is scanning the room and quickly spots Lind when he enters, staring intently]

[the leftmost head whines. the other two snap around to stare. there is black fire flickering around the dog's paws and a faint growling noise from one of the heads, unclear which]

~🔥🌪 (guest starring cerberus! :D)

!!!???

[Lindbergh freezes stock-still. For a moment, neither dog nor cat-mink moves.]

[Slowly, very slowly, Lindbergh's head tilts. One hand carefully, just in precaution, wraps around a spanner at his belt— more of an instinct than anything.]

Cerberus🥺🥺🥺

You thought I forgot? Psssh, I didn't forget. ... Okay I forgor

So what is this random thing I'm talking about? The Grim Church Hound is one of my original worlds about a young teen boy named Hayden who dies and doesn't pass on, instead being forced to wander as a spirit in the graveyard the person who ran him over buried him in. With the graveyard's Church Grim, Cerbie, and the mysterious Reaper, Hayden learns about life, death, and confronts himself and past.

This world is very much in the early development stages as it's mostly been conceptual. Prior to the poll I'd only drawn Hayden like, once and I couldn't find the og sketch so I had to draw him from memory. I don't even have an actual plot/story, just the idea of a lost soul who can't pass on and so befriends a graveyard's church grim. What's a church grim? So there's the believe that the first person buried in a graveyard can't pass on and stays behind to lead the rest of the deceased to the afterlife. Not wanting to burden a human soul with that, some people took to burying dogs as the first body in a graveyard. In this story, that's what Cerbie is. A dog who was the first to be buried in the grave yard to help other souls pass on.

When Cerberus was born he was the weakest cub, so he was abounded be his parents and picked up by some noble demon who later died and Cerberus got into hands of Demon King aka Baran monarch of the white flame.

They were best buddies and Baran didn’t disagree when someone said that Cerberus was his favorite soldier.

… and then in the picture comes Jinwoo revives Cerberus and gives him a new name “Cerbie” and kills (Ashborn basically already did the job before) Baran. Cerbie must have been so sad seeing his previous master dying from the hands of his new master
