"Lhune Meets Shade " by Lhune Artist links :Deviantart Description: " This is the lineart of my contest entry. I'm not going to color it, because I'm not going to make it before the deadline, and I got kinda tired of the drawing . But I decided to submit the drawing with the story behind it as well. I'm not a good writer, so please don't go to hard on me with the story (if you're going to read it anyway ). ”… Lhune held still for a moment, and lowered her head, pointing up her ears. She listened carefully. And there was the sound again. A low, deep growl. She took another step towards the big varen-like bush, from which the sound came. She tried to catch the scent of whatever was out there. Another two steps. She was now only a few more steps away from the bush. There was a subdued, whispering sound, as a soft breeze blew through the trees above her. She waited for the breeze to pass, and concentrated on the more uncommon sounds again. Her glowing eyes softly lightened the ground in front of her. Not that she needed the extra light; she could see perfectly well in the dark. Suddenly, she heard a crack. It sounded like an old, dead twig being broken by something heavy standing on it. It was again a sound from behind the varen. The big leaves blocked her sight. She stood still for a moment, and closed her eyes. This way, she fully concentrated on the sounds she could hear. But there was nothing. No sound. It was strangely quiet in the forest. Apparently, the loud, cracking sound had surprised the creatures around her. In this odd silence, Lhune could almost feel them listening… However, slowly, the more common sounds started again; birds jumping from branch to branch, squirrels running through the leaves, collecting food for the coming winter. She took the last steps towards the bush, and sank through her legs, almost lying down. One of the big varen leaves stroke her mane. At that moment, when it was really quiet, she swore she could hear something breathe. She took only one more step. In the corner of her eye, she saw something doing exactly the same thing. She turned her head, and her eyes met those of a wolf. Not a normal wolf though, this one was a lot bigger and more muscular. His eyes were glowing too, and his nose and eyebrow were pierced. Both out of surprise and fear, she pulled up her lips, showed him her teeth, and growled. Almost immediately realising that had been a mistake; the wolf did the same thing…” This is pretty much the story I had in mind while drawing this. I wanted to capture the moment where Lhune met Shade, and when she snarled at him (and otherwise). " Shade copyright Drakhenliche Artwork and Lhune copyright Lhune
