…..Annnnndddd the art becomes this. Don’t judge. This is what happens when I don’t use procreate. << Chapter 31 >> These thoughts… are they my own? Darkmoon runs through the twisting caverns, her sight blurred by tears. It can’t end like this. It just can’t. All this time, leading her to the mountains, meeting Redwood, this isn’t how it’s supposed to end.
