Sketch Of Hephaestus. Trying Out A Few New Things With Drawing. Hair Is Hard.

Lol, remember when I said that their design would probably change?

Pro tip! Instead of doom scrolling for 8 hours at work, doodle your favorite lambs! Then hide them from your coworkers so they still think you're normal!

Artists are: @stychu-stych, @theshepherdshound, @bamsara, @aveloka-draws and @ane-doodles.

God taps the window of your cubicle, shaking your enclosure, wondering why its creation is so sad.

It is not the god that you worship. It is the one that is here, it is the one that made you. It is your mother glancing worriedly at her phone. It is your father staring at your old bike. It is your friends wondering why you have been so quiet. It is that part of you that looked at the world with wonder, but has been hidden for so long.

"Get back to work" the beast says, "You want to eat don't you?"

You tune the tapping out, and serve your "betters". Just as you do every day. Just the same as the poor creatures around you.

...

The Beast scratches at your phone, vying for your attention, wondering why its servant is absent.

It is not the beast that hunts you. It is the one that is a true threat, it is the one that already has you trapped. It is the one that sells away your health. It is the one that extorts your hunger. It is the one that wrings you dry. It is the one that told you your wonder is "frivolous".

"What's wrong?" god says, "Would another pretzel bite help?"

You ignore the scratching, and hold god in your hand. Just as you do whenever you can. Just the same as the poor creatures around you.

A quick question for the group, how old do you believe this man is? Trick question, not even he remembers. An odd thing to be sure, considering his mental faculties remain entirely intact. We could speculate on the rumors surrounding this man, such as his odd familiarity with ancient constructs, or the strange tools he is rumored to employ, but we shall instead focus on what we do know.

His name is Hephaestus. No surname given. He is intelligent, and he is dangerous. Already dozens of our number are dead by his hand. Engage with caution, and do not allow him to retaliate.

He worries.

He will never admit it, but he worries.

Heavanswaed Dark Knight fit for my WOL. I always liked the simpler outfits over the big flashy suits of armor. And look, he's got a ✨scarf✨.

i’m so tired i need to be held or killed

The Rehabilitation of Death

Chapter 23: A Dance With Death

Narinder awakens to find The Lamb overcome with caring for their sick cult. The plague is unforgiving, and they realize that they'll need to take down Kallamar sooner than later if they plan to prevent any more unnecessary deaths, or face the potentially deadly consequences for over half the flock.

The crusade is a long one, a final journey before the Bishop's door. Narinder humors Lambert's investigative hypothesis on the crown and their issues of separation of power, and how both seemed to have gained strengthen since. The voice of Kallamar echoes from a statue adorned with gems.

Lambert vandalizes a completely different statue in the image of his brother, and learns what exactly is required in dowry for a marriage of a God.

They find Kallamar's treasury: a Ballroom, grandiose and magical. The hand of Death extends to the Lamb an offer. A dance, one that will lead to a very strange waltz, and many important, personal conversations. A dance that will lead to a heart-to-heart talk. Questioning, of one's important to another, and in what manner that might be.

They also almost drown. Keyword: Almost. (The nightmare himself finds the Lamb, and they find themselves confronted, both asleep and awake.)
