"we" is starting to sound an awful lot like "home" sir
hm.
"What are you reading, Lycarn ?"
"Divine Mandate history books."
"Ah. Well. You should have asked me if you had a question..."
"No, I am not talking about your times. More like before. I want to know everything about the world. That encyclopedia helps a lot, but there's just so many things..."
"I think the writer of that encyclopedia is still alive. If you are that interested, I can put you in contact with him."
"I'll pass, thanks. I don't want to talk to an historian if they're gonna tell me the same thing they put in their books."
"Fair. Now that I think about it, it wouldn't be a good idea, anyway."
"..."
"Lycarn ?"
"Yes ?"
"Why do you want to know so much about the world that badly ?"
"I read about it a lot. when I was little, back at my parents, before my life took... That turn. I read your stories. Your... wife's, too. I loved her legend. I wanted to be like her so badly."
"Everyone did at some point. Those who don't are, well, idiots. But that doesn't answer my question."
"I'm getting to it. I also read things about life and death. High-stakes adventuring, quests, the Ragnarök, Faloi Frosilaen, all about people who lived and died. You're the only one I know with the Silent Princess who didn't. I want to understand..."
"... You want to understand what ?"
"What is it with heroes and death ? Every death I read about is so highly celebrated but after death, there is... Nothing."
"Nothing ?"
"Nothing. At least that's what they taught me."
"They taught you wrong."
"That's what I want to know about. They were so afraid of dying they asked me to kill. To kill, to not be killed. And no matter the way you people applaude death it does not change the fact death means loss. Whatever I lost won't come back to me. It will come back to you, if what I've read about death is true, but for me... There's nothing forever.
There's nothing for me in a world
That keeps rejecting me."
Here’s a little Saturday sketch dump for you all. Lately I’ve been drawing the characters from @madhatter-993‘s ‘Peculiar.’ and I’ve really been enjoying it. Not all of the characters are pictured here, since some of them came out looking a little ghastly T_T. But don’t worry, you’ll definitely be seeing more of them in the future.

Hello! We’re back for another “sketch dump” of sorts.
I came across this H&M bag and got inspired to draw some outfits surrounding the color red. And then I found “Cole in a red suit” in my illustration notes, and I thought it was just perfect. So, I set to work finding/making some red outfits for all the characters. Those are in the rough sketches you can see here. After that, I planned to paint them all on the bag next to the red letters.

(P.S here’s their names in order. Top left: Ash, Silas, August. Chloe (large). Next row: Cole, Georgia, Helena, Jaime, Max, Tami)
