Description
Trudging through the battle-scarred outskirts of Ashenvale, a lone saber searched for his lost rider. Together they had fought in the skirmish between the Warsong and Sentinels, fresh wounds from the fight still marring Basern’s body. But when the orcs' catapults had hurled down their fiery boulders, the blasts had separated both saber and rider. The heavy rain washed away the blood and dirt staining Basern’s fur, filling the battlefield with a damp haze. Smelling the familiar scent of his mistress, he followed the trail until he found her.Lydira Mistgale lay in the grass, rain-thinned blood rolling off her unmoving body. The beast nudged her with his mighty head, imploring that she wake. But she did not. A deep rumble sounded in the saber’s throat, demanding that she move. But she did not. Basern’s ears turned down, head bowed as he stood protectively over Lydira’s lifeless body. His empty saddle weighed heavy on his back, never again to be ridden by the elf who raised him.
The description was written by my kind and skilled friend Kaldrinal.

In my opinion, this is the single most beautiful picture to be featured in the Burning of Teldrassil fan art featured on WoWHead. Although I loved the story in the description, this picture is very clearly telling that same story without a word. And that's the beauty of visual art: you can tell a story without saying or typing a single word, if you're skilled enough. Though sad, this is the kind of beautiful art that gives me the drive to continue with my own work, even if I have a block. Whatever you do, don't stop making this gorgeous artwork. You, my friend, have earned yourself a watcher.

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it very much, and am very glad you like this piece. The bond between a rider and their mount, be that a sentinel and their saber, or an orc and their wolf, can be strong. I wanted to convey how painful that bond can also be. Exploring the unspoken tragedies...

Boy this one hits you right in the feels. It reminds me of the other day when we lost a cat to old age, the kittens who he spent all his time with nudged him like that.
