This is actually a redraw of one of my old drawings that I am still pleased with. I wanted to redraw it, just to prove to myself I had improved. :3

This is one of my own characters, Katiaya BladeBreaker. I may be posting a comic with her in it soonish, I’m still getting it done X3

Here’s a link to the original drawing: https://www.deviantart.com/thebannanaquean/art/Another-Digital-Drawing-of-Katiaya-788919586

This is not my character, this is fanart for my friends character. His name is Atal and he is a skelebean.

Katiaya slightly panicked. The odd creature had turned and looked straight at her! Not wanting to be rude or to upset this strange, and probably intelligent creature, she waved a friendly greeting. @

Atal stepped back a bit, his eyelight flashing purple for a few seconds before he calmed down. It had only waved at him. He was fine. Atal hesitated for a moment before moving closer so they could see the sign language that he was using.

“Hey, how you doin’?”@

Katiaya had never learned any form of sign language. She squinted at the creature. It was trying to communicate. She felt it project meaning through its hands. She still had no way of completely understanding.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Katiaya went a little further down the rocks until she could go no further. There was a sheer drop down the cliff. Climbing was not an option. So Katiaya jumped, she jumped off of the rock face and landed a couple of feet from the creature with a thump. @

Atal flinched away and nearly summoned an attack before stopping himself. He wasn’t being attacked. He was fine. Atal began to wonder why they hadn't answered his question. Could they not understand him? He hoped that that wasn't the case. He decided to sign and speak at the same time. Even though Atal knew they most likely wouldn’t be able to understand him when he spoke, because of the nature of his font.

“Can you understand me?”@

Katiaya was startled by its manner of speech, but strangely, she could understand.

“Well that all depends on if you can understand me!” Katiaya replied. @

Atal looked at them, confused.

”Of course I can understand you. Why wouldn’t I?”@

Katiaya shrugged, “I can’t understand your sign language, and frankly I’m surprised I can understand what you’re saying.” Katiaya continued, “Sorry if I scared you, I’m Katiaya, care to share your name?” @

Atal stopped signing.

”My name’s Atal. Nice to meet you.” He smiled as he held out a hand in greeting.@

Katiaya took Atal’s hand and paused, examining Atal’s hand for a moment before giving him a firm handshake.

“So, uh, This might sound weird, but what exactly are you?” @

Atal blinked.”Oh. Uh, I’m a skeleton monster… I’m not scaring you, am I?”@

Katiaya was still examining his hand,

“No, not quite, I’ve just never seen anything like you before, are there more?” @

“Not particularly, skeleton monsters are more rare than other kinds of monsters.” Atal answered. @

“Woah, wait, monsters?” @

“Yeah, there are a lot of different types of monsters. Skeletons are the most rare though, because they were, uh, on the front lines during the war.”@

“What war? How recent was it?” @

“Don’t worry, the war ended around 7 to 8 years ago,” Atal paused.”Wait, do you not know about anything I’m telling you?”@

Katiaya paused, “......No?” @

“Huh…” Atal had been staring at her for few seconds,when suddenly a sharp pain went through his left eye socket.

“Ngh...ow…” Atal clutched his skull as the pain grew worse.@

“Woah, Atal! You okay?!” Katiaya bent over the skeleton trying to see the cause of the pain.

“C’mon, let’s find some water, that might help.”

Katiaya started leading Atal back over to the rocky terrain. @

While searching for the water, the pain only grew worse. Atal leaned against Katiaya, letting his tail drag on the ground.@

“Okay, we are not going to get anywhere with you like this.” Katiaya stopped in the shade of a small rock canyon. Katiaya’s hands started to glow, and she asked,

“Okay, Atal, where does it hurt, what’s wrong?” @

Atal grimaced as the pain spiked,

”...my...skull…” Atal removed the mask that covered his left eye so that Katiaya could examine it closer.@

Katiaya looked at it and let her magic wander, seep in and find the problem. Someone else's emotions, doubt, and pain were flooding Atal, and it was something that Katiaya couldn’t stop. Instead, she used her magic to try and ease the pain, taking some of his pain on herself. And man, did it hurt. @

Counterintuitive to Katiaya’s intentions, Atal’s magic fought against her magic, causing the pain to intensify. Atal screamed, “AHHHHHHG!” then passed out.@

Feeling the two magics fighting each other Katiaya released her spell, gasping for breath.

“Sorry Atal, I guess that plan didn’t work” Katiaya told the unconscious form of Atal.

“I knew you had magic, but I didn’t know it would fight mine, sorry, That was a useless waste of energy, not to mention the damage it did, heh. Guess we’ll do it the old fashioned way.” Katiaya reached into a bag and pulled out a light blanket and a pillow. “Sleep well, Atal.” @

Now that Atal had fallen unconscious, he could tell what was happening in his head. His personality was fighting for control against another personality that Atal had kept hidden away for years. The worst part? Atal was losing.@

“Stupid, stupid, stupid Katiaya!” Katiaya murmured to herself while pacing, “You know better than to do that, messing with someone else’s magic! Not to mention a magic you’ve never encountered!” @

Atal groaned as he slowly became conscious.

”ugh...what happened?”His eyelight flickered on as he sat up, rubbing his head.

”What? Where am I? I don’t recognize this place…”@

Katiaya jolted awake. Where was she? Katiaya sat up and observed her new surroundings. She had woken up on a precarious rock ledge in the desert.

“How did I get up here?” Katiaya muttered, her throat feeling like sandpaper. Katiaya knew that even if she had some water, it wouldn’t last for long in this heat. Carefully Katiaya climbed down from the ledge and set off to find some water. @

Atal coughed then grimaced at the pain it brought to his throat. He had sand trapped in his neck vertebrae.

“ugh. This is a pain in the neck.” He chuckled at the pun he made, then stood up and set off to find some water.@

Katiaya gazed over the landscape, trying to depict where a fresh stream of water would be. Of course, she could cut open a cactus if she was desperate, but she wanted to check something first. Katiaya searched her pockets for any supplies she might’ve been carrying, and found several sticks of dynamite, two knives, and a small water canteen, it didn’t have much water. Katiaya took a sip, and continued exploring the landscape, being extra aware in case water was found.@

Atal was confounded by the spiky plant He had come across.

”what is this?” he muttered to himself. He summoned a bone attack and poked the plant with it. The plant barely moved.

“huh…” he stopped poking it and dispersed the attack he was holding. If this was a plant in a place this dry, then it would probably need to store water. Atal summoned an attack that resembled a spear and stabbed it into the plant. Clear liquid began to leak from the hole that the attack had created. Atal smiled. Success!@

Katiaya had been momentarily stalled by an amusing scene of a bird beating a dead lizard to the ground, but soon continued on her journey. Upon climbing on top of a huge boulder, Katiaya saw that the desert was divided with rocks and sand. Katiaya had quite the view. She had just started to hike down when she saw an odd-looking creature drinking out of a cactus. @

Atal paused in what he was doing. He felt like he was being watched… Atal stood up and looked around searching for the source of the feeling. He then saw a human…?@

Quetzalcoatl a.k.a Atal the Skeleton
