EVEN AMIDST THE STILLNESS OF (GENTLE) NIGHT, ONLY FEW KNEW OF THE STORM THAT RAGED WITHIN THE WALLS ——— the (fateful) beginnings of a new chapter in their lives left exposed in the aftermath.

In keeping the Princess occupied beforehand until she’d fallen asleep, she had saved her from listening to her mother’s incessant wailing from the other room; a feat she still questioned the success of, but complained little about in the grand scheme. Such screams were unlike anything Maya had ever heard before, and it took everything out of her at the time to not rush out the door in fear for Mana’s life.

But Mana’s soul was ever resilient, even as she laid in bed to recover her strength and spirit; frazzled, sweaty, and exhausted from her ordeal. Seemingly lifeless, yet still breathing fine amidst her slumber.

Slumber that would—for a time—keep her from gazing upon the very child she’d managed to bring into the world after a night so unbearably long; a small, fragile little thing, largely obscured from view by a soft white blanket that Soren had wrapped around them. Appearing at peace, and making hardly any noise.

…One look at the other viera’s face told her that it took an awful lot to get to that point, though.

And so, to try her best in easing her own worries, the mage tried to first ask a likely necessary question to her dear friend.

Decided to experiment with no lineart style, and drew Ceaseless Void! It's a lot more fun to draw than fight. Lots of interesting shapes, and fun, saturated colors on the dark energy. I'm also not very experienced with backgrounds, but I did my best.

In the future, I want to improve on uniting the main subject and the background, and making him a little more 3D and less flat. Also, I want to draw the other two Sentinels, and maybe the Devourer of Gods himself some time!

Here it is with no background.

so pretty

It wasn't rare that Shun would whip around the Den's many corners and halls at such a speed that he hardly paid any attention to what might be in his way, nonetheless it never smarted any less when he did inevitably run into someone else.

It was hard to say that she understood what was going on. It felt like she was being told that the moon was cheese and they were going to the moon to get more cheese. It was stupid, and she didn’t get it whatsoever. “You’re telling me that the monster I burnt was still alive? And I didn’t succeed in turning it into charcoal?”

The Pyrenian was very confused about this. It should’ve been charcoal, and she had no idea how it wasn’t. It felt like she’d stepped through a portal where the laws of logic no longer applied to the world... Well, it never did with her.

“Jeez. Just dumb it down for me. It sounds like you’re telling me to go to the moon for cheese.”
