How long have you been traveling the planes, young Planeswalker?
So… yeah, about two years now, maybe a bit less. I didn’t start my quest right away, I’d been away from my family so long already. ((Fun Fact: I would’ve started the blog on this story… if it wouldn’t have involved drawing humans/humanoids. So backstory will come from asks!Second Fun Fact: Nerrocen belongs to my friend who runs @miserycollections, it’s an awesome story and you should absolutely check it out))
Transcript:
Panel 1:
Astral is respondingthoughtfully.
Astral: Planeswalker?I haven’t heard that one before. I like it though… But let’s see, I got mycutie mark about two years ago. The first time I teleported.
Panel 2:
Astral is ona beach, cowering before a cream-colored Pegasus several times his height anddrawn in a more realistic style, which is rearing.
Astral,narrating: I ended up on a beach near a city called “Castor.” I… badlymisjudged which locals were sentient.
Panel 3:
Avicious-looking monster which may once have been a deer stands in a clearning,mouth and neck covered in blood. A doe’s head lays at its clawed feet, muscleripped open and the body nowhere to be seen.
Astral,narrating: Everything was being corrupted by a curse that warped their bodies…and their minds.
Panel 4:
Astral andthe dragonling Kiiri are at a table together, lit by torchlight. Kiiri is aboutas large as Astral’s head.
Astral,narrating: I worked with a very small dragonling named Kiiri to study it. Turnsout, the curse was spread by another like me, what you called a “Planeswalker.”
Panel 5:
A crouching humanoidwith large, spread wings is silhouetted against a lightning storm.
Astral: He wasa harpy called Nerrocen, a victim of the curse himself. I don’t think he wasevil, though, and we parted on good terms… After we found a way to stop thespread, of course.
Panel 6:
Twilight issitting at her castle’s main room table, noticeably excited. “Oh my gosh” iswritten around her, as if being quickly and quietly said.
Astral,narrating: When I was finally home, well, Princess Twilight was more than happyto hear all about my adventure. After I got some well-earned rest, she broughtme in again to offer a deal- If I explored and recorded other worlds, theroyals would pay me and my family handsomely. How could I refuse?
