Description
Coming into a strange part of the world after being dragged there by a powerful demon Shale looked over at his beloved Jul. " Where do you think we are?" He asked her looking around at the floating small island with trees on them. " I have no idea, but with that thing around we don't need to stay. It might be it's nest or worse..." Taking a step forward Jul heard faint laughter erupt from around them. Instinctively Shale jumped to Jul and covered her with his wings only to be engulfed in flames and burned alive. Letting out a streak of pain he dropped to the ground breathing heavy. Giving Jul a final glance with tears running down his burnt scales before fading away.Jul stood there. Shocked, frightened, but most of all... angry. Whatever that thing was that ruined her little outing with Shale now took him from her.
She took him from her....
Everything seemed to black out of her vision as tears steadily ran down her face. " Shale..." She mumbled nudging him as if he was just taking a nap. " Shale." Her voice cracked as the tears ran down faster. " SHALE!"She fell beside her loved one morning him. " Shale, why. WHY?! Why did this have to happen... to you... Shale please just have passed out. Blacked out from pain!" But she couldn't feel his pulse. He was gone and she could feel it.
They took him from you.
They took your dearest friend.
They took your loved one.
They took your Shale.
The darkness called to her. She just wanted to stay next to Shale but the darkness almost chanted to her. As if it wanted her to take what killed him down with her. " I won't die like this. Not with that, that THING running around." She rose to her feet. Breathing heavy she screamed to the heavens. Furious she called out for some sort of help. The darkness answered her call. She snared as the shadows crept up on her slowly consuming her body. Turning it darker and making new markings appear as well as adding more red to the back of her hair.
It was like being born again. The new power rained through her body as this new form took it's place. As the darkness faded from her sight she felt so... Alive. So free suddenly. But looking down on Shale her heart filled with pain. Leaning down and giving him one last kiss o the cheek she made a promise.
" I'll do to you what you did to my precious Shale." Lifting up her right hand and breathing blue flames into it she lifted it to the sky. " I PROMISE." She snarled knowing the thing was listening.
Little did she realize the thing was her own inner demon. Eating away at her.
Love is a powerful thing.
But so is corruption.
Okay story time is over now children. Get out of my house and stop eating all my food now |=<
<.< Anyway poor Squidy seems to be a little depressed lately so I thought a picture would cheer her up. Then i thought of a neat design for Jul if she ever became currupt. Not really much change can be seen, pretty much just got darker but still!
Thought that counts.
I totally didn't be lazy with the background or anything.
Shhh they'll catch on if you tell them!
Edit: Also the hair looks undershaded and it bothers me ; -;

Kill them, kill them all!
It is easier to surrender to the madness, no?
Even if it ultimately isn't worth it.

Kill everything. Let no one stand in your path!
It is. And it's easier when going through a hard time like what happened here.
It's totally worth. Don't lie.

Actually, here's another delightfully camp (and possibly homoerotic) video, and the lulz are BIBLICAL:

Corruption is a powerful thing indeed! But at a cost for most people is too heavy too bear.

); Yep, it makes you do things you usually wouldn't do and cost you everything in the end.

Wow...
That story actually gave me chills and got me a bit emotional 
I can't think of what she would do without that goofy guy.
I love this D: The shading is amazing, and the little corrupt design is really sweet ;u;
I love the way you drew the scales and the fire ;-;
The little bit hanging off her mouth is cool D: Also, THAT BACKGROUND. Holy wow.. I love the silhouettes of the trees~ <3
You really didn't have to do anything for me, I don't deserve it;-;
But thank you so much for drawing my little girl D: I appreciate it

Love is a powerful thing. It triggers happiness, sadness, and brings out both the good and bad in people.
When it's snatched away people get hurt and there are two things they can do. Accept it, be sad, and move on. Or seek a new way of comfort. And it's not always the best thing D;
Also the story was gonna be longer but it was 5am and I was half brain dead XD
D; if I could have done the legs and stuff right before cropping the pic you could see her tail has bone showing with purple on it too.
Totally didn't spend 2 hours figuring out fire or anything. <.<
D: but you seemed a bit down and some pics always make it better.

Ou thats so cool!
LOL I do that with a lot of things too... spend more time looking up how to do it than doing the actual picture.
They do, honestly<3
