Find the promt list here. Chosen prompts: "blinding fury" and "the screeching of wind through old stones".

Part one. It will continue in the next few days. ^^

The hunt

They had followed the dragon for three full days after the first attack. It flew slowly, and just far enough so that they could not reach it in time before it continued its flight. The fact that it was injured spurred them on, as did the gold offered for its head.

Experts, they were called. The three of them had already killed two dragons that had devoured the cattle of some small villages. This one was not much bigger, only its dark blue, almost black coloring distinguished it from the others. The biggest difference was that it fled when they wounded it, much to their annoyance.

They would have lost it long ago if the mage had not supported their pursuit. The dragon's last rest brought the decisive advantage. It seemed exhausted and remained on the ground longer than the previous nights, long enough for them to come within range and let one magically infused arrow find its target.

It reared up and roared in pain, then rose again and continued to fly with labored flaps of its wings.

Perhaps the beast thought it could hide and they would pass. But it was wrong. They had discovered the cave in which it had retreated to hide itself.

The mage, nearly burned out from the last few days, crouched behind some rocks near the entrance. He was ready to cast protective spells as soon as they knew how the dragon would attack.

The scout found an elevated position from which he could provide good cover. His deadly, precise arrows were ready on the string.

And he himself, trusting his magically reinforced armor, stood at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the blinding fury of the dragon.

Ready to lure the malicious creature out at any cost and cut off its head.

For gold, glory and honor.

In the screeching of the wind through the old stones, he could already hear the songs of glory that would be sung about him in his favorite tavern. His tale of days of exhausting dragon hunting would surely win him some attention from the ladies. Perhaps the fight would leave him with a small scar, which they would surely find attractive.

Slamming his sword against the polished shield in front of him, he stepped forward with confidence.

"Come out, monster!" he shouted into the cave, trying to see something inside.

Hundreds of tiny lights glimmered in the coal-black darkness of the cave. He held his breath. He felt as if he were looking at countless stars in a moonless sky, which moved gently up and down in front of his eyes.

A soft, friendly voice sounded in his head, like the soothing rush of a small river. "I have never harmed anyone and I have no intention of doing so. Go away."

The dragon slayer shook his helmeted head, certain and proud that he had successfully resisted an attempt at enchantment. With overbearing confidence, he stood in the middle of the cave entrance and shouted his bloodlust at the dragon.

"Get out of my head, wyrm! You will not enchant me! Come out and face my sword that will seal your fate!"

Animal Crossing Designs by Pherryt - Witcher: Jaskier from the Dragon Hunt

oh my god, his outfits are so hard to do! I can’t make proper stitching because there just aren’t enough pixels per inch or whatever that is. even a single dot can look so large and even if they are diagonal to each other and different colors, you never know if they’ll blend into a line you don’t want or leave gaps when you try to take advantage of bleeding into a line.

that said, despite the frustration, I like how it came out! also, as you can see, attached is the reference i used for the outfit.

I have more planned but I don’t know when I’ll finish them. 

P.s. I’m still unsure of the best posting method - I’ve tried a few - which did you guys prefer? the collages? the small videos? or the tiled single pictures from all sides?

Look how unnecessarily close they sit to each other. There’s still plenty of room at least on Jaskier’s side of the table and well, on Geralt’s, too, cause he isn’t sitting right next to Borch. Borch: Come with me and I’ll show you what you’re missing. *looking at Geralt straight in the eye, leaning in* Geralt: What am I missing? *confused stare* Borch: *leans back closing his eyes obviously thinking “dimwit”, opens his eyes and looks at Jaskier.*

Am I desperately trying to over-analyse everything? Yes. Am I sorry for it? No.

Aurora Orianus: What's the number one problem with dragon hunts?

Erik the Slayer: If you're a side character, then you die within the first five minutes of the story.

Erik: Dude. Wait. Am I a side character?!

Erik: Do you ever think about stuff like that?

Aurora: . . . no?
