Description Sairen walked quickly, one hand holding up the end of her pale blue skirt. The only sound in the dark night was the sound of her hard footsteps slapping into the thick wet mud that made up the dirt road she was headed down. She shivered, turning her long-lashed, blue-green eyes to the dripping, starless sky. She should be at home. Home next to a fire, with supper, and her children. Why was she here, on this lonely forest track? Because she needed to know, she supposed. She needed to know if she had made the right choice, marrying her husband and having those children. Not that she didn’t love them; she did, with all of her heart. Yet, she felt…empty…as if settling into the domestic life of a house wife wasn’t really what she was meant to do. She paused, thinking she had heard something. Of course not…no one else would be crazy enough to venture out into this dismal night but her…right? She hesitated, and then continued on her way, murmuring to herself quietly, telling herself she was a fool, that she should turn back.

In the shadows, unseen to her, someone smiled. It was an odd grin, almost a snarl. This person, this…creature, had sharp, pure white teeth, and odd, purple gums. There was something canine about this smile….not wolfish, more…fox-like “…Perfect…” purred the creature happily, before quickly disappearing. She stopped again. There was definitely someone there “….Hello?” she called out, lifting her square chin up high, straightening to make herself taller then she already was.

Sairen brushed a strand of her jet black hair away from her face, a frown on her full, pink lips. She turned back to her path, continuing towards her destination. There was a crackling, leaves crumpling and branches breaking. She turned again, and the woods once more fell silent. She gulped, taking a step backwards, her body tensing. Nothing but silence all around. She turned, and started walking once more, quicker than before, almost trotting. She could hear footsteps, close behind her. She broke into a sprint, yet she could still hear them, right behind her, getting closer. She screamed.

The world

Went

Black.

This is something I've been wanting to do for many years....I decided there's no time like the present to finally get it rolling.

I have no idea how it'll turn out but...hopefully you'll come along for the ride with me.

That's really cool. ^w^ I just have stories in my head for a long wile. And I wish I could draw comics like you can... Huh. I just realized something whenever I reread this story up to the current chapter: it's a lot like my online character. Maria. Except she doesn't have the sharp face when she is a naga, nor does she have the scars. OwO

Nice use of atmosphere with the comic, but I also like how the detailed summary strung it all together and fleshed out the events. It's coming along nicely. And I do believe that's Yuviri... I wonder what the extent of his role will be from here on out... and what was so "Perfect" about Sairen.

her booty.
Her booty is what's perfect

He likes big butts and he cannot lie.


...but in all seriousness it will be discovered as the comic progresses.

and thank you for the compliments!!

Oh dear, I might have known.

I remember way back when he called her "pretty one" or something to that effect... I don't know if that's changed now, but I am eagerly awaiting the next page.
