finals are over and itâs finally summer and that means that I donât have to spend every waking hour working on something school related. And THAT means I got to finish coloring page one of A Test of Time by the wonderful, amazing, fantastic @imrisah (i love you!)
Iâm not entirely satisfied with Bullâs colors and the shading is meh but the main reason I asked about doing the coloring was so I could practice shading, so whatever lol đ

âEven if you wonât go back to the army, you could still band together your old crew, go into business for yourself.â Dorian had been pressing the issue of Hissradâs departure since they captured a massive ship from the tavinter navy. It was gorgeous, powerful âjust like youâ the general had said. They were all excited to get it, to show those corrupt vints, Dorian excluded of course, what they could do. Then, as they were sailing away, they realized General Hissrad wasnât with them. A massive explosion at the docks prevented the navy from following them. They were sure... Dorian was sure he had lost him. Two days passed in abject misery before the small thunk of a lifeboat against their hull and Hissrad was there, gloriously alive and smiling, if missing a leg. Dorian had wanted to kiss him, strangle him, kick him into the ocean, forbid him from ever leaving their room again. Everything Dorian had thought heâd never be allowed to feel for someone he felt for this mountain of a man and it terrified him.
âMy crew was drifting in a badly damaged ship towards open sea or the devils teeth. Either they sank and drowned or theyâve tried their luck and ended up on some rocky island getting eaten by demons. Either way, Iâm alone. I want to be here, why canât you just accept that?â
Dorian eyes the man in front of him suspiciously. âIâm the one who crippled your ship, doomed your crew, and a bit of fun and youâre over it?â His stare is piercing, searching for some answer in the giant man in front of him. Everything about Dorianâs dear general, as Risah called him, was a mystery.
General Hissrad leaned in, matching the Princeâs stare. âYou didnât kill my people. You didnât even try to damage the ship that badly. If the qunari army had come, they would have been saved. Thatâs what youâre asking me to go back to, an army that would leave my people to die the second I wasnât on board. The qun donât take kindly to outcasts, and thatâs what youâre looking at, an outcast.â
The intensity in that one eye, the deep throaty way hissrad spoke, Dorian could feel himself gravitating towards a kiss, here, out in the open. Before he never could have imagined showing such affection where anyone could see him. How much this giant, gentle man had changed in so short a time. Dorianâs eyes fluttered closed as Hissrad leaned in
âCAPTAIN?! CAPTAIN!â Dorianâs eyes flew open at the call, but he didnât recognize the manâs voice. A ragtag group had entered the tavern and was making their way towards him. He pulled a pistol below the table, aiming at the short tevinter in the front, unsure of what was happening. Across from him however his companion is jumping to his feet, a massive grin plastered on his face.
âKrem? Chargers?! I thought you were dead!â As the massive qunari ran towards them patrons absentmindedly lifted their drinks to keep them from spilling, some of them losing a table as he ambled past. Normally Hissrad was very careful about his size, but right now he made a straight line for the door. Dorian carefully followed, behind him some of his crew moved to get a better look. Risah stealthily went out the side, angling to intercept them. The group was polite enough to move whatever this was outside so as not to further disturb the patrons.
Dorian raised an eyebrow when Hissrad pulled the other man into a bone crushing hug. He relaxed a little when each member of the group was given the same. Hissrad beamed happily.
âIâm assuming this is your crew?â Dorian was greeted with happy nods.
âWell, seeing as everyoneâs alive you can all retur
âFuck that.â The tevinter said. His eyes were embers, his voice heavy to counter Dorianâs flippant tone.
âKrem, whatâ the qunari looked at Krem.
âWeâve been looking for you captain, weâre happy to see you, but if thatâs the way youâre going, we wonât follow you.â Krem took an almost protective stance in front of the rest of the crew. Each of them bore a new scar or wound from when Hissrad last saw them, and their eyes showed something more raw than he was used to.
âThe Qun abandoned us, hell, they sailed right past us, made sure we knew that they werenât coming.â Krem spat out. Hissrad places a gentle hand on Kremâs shoulder.
âWeâre not going back to the army, Krem. Not ever.â The last part seemed to be more aimed at Dorian than at Krem. Part of Dorian wanted to let it go, to stand beside the handsome giant he called his, to meet these people as an equal. That would mean letting go, forgetting everything heâd learned to survive, placing everything on those broad shoulders and he just couldnât. What if? What if somehow it all still went wrong?
âNow that you have your crew back, you can find a ship, maybe work as mercenaries.â Dorian intends to be light but it comes out cruel. Leave, he seems to say, leave before this gets more painful.
âDorian...â Hissradâs voice is gentle but insistent and Dorian hates that he knows Hissrad is right. His lover had never given him a reason to distrust him, hell, Hissrad had saved his life more times than anyone. Almost anyone.
âCome now Dorian, no need for that. We just stole a big shiny ship thanks to Hissrad, we could stay here and try to hire a crew of assholes, or we could take on Hissradâs friends.â Risah turned towards the newcomers, having slipped up on the happy reunion when they werenât paying attention. Dorian wasnât sure of how long sheâd been there, but it had probably been the whole time.
âHow do you feel about piracy?â She smiles wide.
âBeats the army.â Krem replies. His eyes are trying very hard not to give Risah a once over. He succeeds, mostly.
âYou arenât the captain.â Dorian growls at her.
âNoâ she says sarcastically. âIâm only his best friend. Can I talk to you?â The two leave General Hissrad to catch up with his crew and dart uneasy looks their way. He isnât really scared that Dorian will abandon him, but he hates to see him this way.
âWhat do you think youâreâ Dorian starts.
âDorian, hush.â Risah interrupts. âI know you well enough by now to know what this whole charade about Hissrad leaving is about. Youâre trying to avoid that feeling, that pain. You canât. You just have to realize this is the best thing in your life and hold onto it. Donât you think Iâm scared, every time Cullen is beside me, that I might lose him? If he wasnât there, if Iâd pushed him away, then Iâd have already lost him, though. Itâll be ok Dorian. Itâs ok to be happy. We wonât die.â She smiles and gently touches his handsome face.
âEver?â Dorian asks hesitantly, daring to look at her face. Itâs comforting and open and he knows sheâd do anything for him.
âNever, ever.â Itâs a lie, but in the best way. Sheâs right of course. He knows what he really wants. He smiles at his friend.
âSometimes YOU are the best thing in my life.â Dorian said, making Risah laugh.
âOh donât I know it. Now, letâs put on our handsome pirate prince face and try this again because youâre meeting your belovedâs friends for the first time and youâre making a complete ass of yourself.â Dorian laughs too and decides to make the best of it. The best of a new life, with a new crew who would lay down their lives for him. A love who saw all of him and adored it, and was never ashamed. A gorgeous ship with a powerful sea below it and no one who could stop him. They turn to join the group and Hissrad no longer looks nervous. Dorian links arms with him as casually as he can, trying to appear debonaire as he surveys the group.
âWell, amatus,â Kremâs eyebrows raise at the name before he breaks out in a wolffish grin at Hissrad. âNow that youâre all part of my crew I think proper introductions are in order.â
It was more than Dorian could have ever dreamed of for himself, and it was perfect.
If you arenât reading @imrisah adoribull comic you are absolutely missing out and should go check it out ASAP. Itâs so good, and Bullâs Tama shows up in it later with the cutest picture of Bull as a little kid. This is based on an interaction someone suggested Tama and baby Bull would have had at at one point. It was to perfect not to draw.
Just want to give a big thank Imrisah, for your wonderful art, story, and giving us this comic that never fails to put a smile on so many peopleâs faces. Youâre an absolute treasure. <3 <3
