Commisison from the dear MEHA 4AN 🤧
This art is very important to me and is an afterword to the story of the restless tieflings and their dangerous adventures. Next they will be traveling for a while with Daeran and Mikhel (my best friend's character and commander, they are a couple yes, it's a long and fun story). Mikhel Aldori appeared in Dresen as a mercenary from the River Kingdoms and Melissa's old acquaintance.
Lann is angry because without asking 4 idiots are sailing on his ship and causing havoc + a cat that chewed and scratched the whole ship ;D
Then of course everyone goes their own way.
And a little attempt at dialog. Enjoy the read 💖
“…Chief? You look confused.”
"...It’s just so strange to realize that it’s all over. There’s no more chase, I’m no longer the commander of the Crusade… I even met my parents."
"Well… Screw them. And your 'family', especially your old man. And let's just forget about that rooster*!”
"Are you still mad?"
"A little."
"I can see it’s more than just a little. Relax. I don’t care about my horn. The main thing is that I’m still alive. Let’s just forget about this like it was a bad dream. I became a unicorn, so what?"
"Pfff… Fine, but your little ones** still make me worried."
"I’ve already taken care of everything. I would set a bad example for my brothers, but Grandpa*** will definitely watch over the boys. They’re smart kids, and they’ll be alright. At least they won’t turn out like us… like me."
"Us, huh? Did I hear that right?"
"Sorry."
"I’m not offended. Maybe you’re right. They shouldn’t have to starve on the streets. So… what are you going to do now?"
"I don’t know. I still don’t have a home, and nothing in the River Kingdoms keeps me here anymore."
"Realy? Come on! You don’t have a plan?! I can’t believe it!"
"Heh… Let’s explore the world? Together. And then… maybe we’ll go back to Mendev? I can't believe I actually said that."
"You know what I’ll say. Wherever you go, I’ll follow you. And going back sounds like a good idea. I think I've got some good deals coming up there.
To understand:
* - That's what they call the one aasimar that has been bothering Melissa for a long time, even after the events in Mendeve. She gave him the nickname because of his feathers.
** - Melissa later learns that after so many years she has two younger brothers from her father. One of the stories mentions them, too.
*** - An old mercenary, also glimpsed in one of the stories, as well as her brothers.
