THANK GOD ITS FINALLY DONE ARGH THIS TOOK SO LONG EEEEEEEEE
FINALLY THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I think the backround is messed up XC IM SORRY AAAAA

What I would like to say: This took ridicolously long. Lineless art is extremely hard for me to get right... But, I think I nailed it quite well. Anatomy seems good to me. Shading is fine too I guess, I focused mainly on the legs and Areneyes fancy hair. The backround is my biggest fear. I used my own photo that I took as a refference, I hope thats fine. (This foto in case you are wondering: orcaplayer.deviantart.com/art/… ) And the river doesnt look like a river hurrr XD. I put so much effort into this... My hand will be forever missed. (RIP my hand). And also, I added the "fake screenshot" frame and a line from the story behind this (said by Areneye).

Anyways, why I chose this: Because I wanted to draw Harkin, there were so many possibilities of what could happen to him while he was missing. Also, I wanted to draw Flake and Araneye to show how rival they are. And probably the last reason is, that I wanted Harkin and Flake to reunite!

Story:
Quiet breeze was flowing through the dark forest, the leaves of many trees were rustling, the day was quite cold. A bird was sitting on a branch of a great oak tree, just to be scared off by a sudden movement down on the forest floor. A skinny red-scaled adult dragon, with golden plates on his neck and stomach, with grey curved horns and sharp spikes running down his spine, was pushing his way trough some bramble bushes with his broad shoulders. He let his sharp tail blade slice through the bushes he just walked through, leaving a leafy mess on the grassy bellow his feet with sharp hooked claws. He shook his whole body to get rid of some leaves that got stuck between his crimson shiny scales, and continued his journey through the forest. He was very thin, you could go ahead and count all of his ribs, see every muscle working as he was walking. He was starving.
A loud sound of a potential prey rang out, so he opened his mouth, sticked out his forked tongue and tasted the air to catch the scent of the animal. He crouched down, carefully stepping forward, making almost no sound. A spotted fawn baby was eating a grass tuft growing at the bottom of an alder tree, enjoying the tasty green grass not knowing about the dangerous predator stalking for it. Its mother was not far away, digging out some roots from the ground with her hoof. That was the loud sound the dragon heard. The dragons name was Harkin, he was a young adult male dragon, a loner.
He was about to leap at the young peaceful animal, ready to finally eat something. Then suddenly, a familiar scent hit his nose. The mother deer smelled it too, she called out to her young one, and united they ran away to the woods, leaving Harkin with an empty stomach. However, that was the last thing he was worried about. He sniffed again, just to be sure, but... The scent was unmistakable. He still remembered the fire, when he, a scared dragon hatchling, was trapped in his home, unable to escape. Luckily there was one window opened, the one that the fire didnt reach. He jumped out of his flaming house, ran into the woods and never returned. Now he smelled a dragon, that was part of his family. A dragon, that most likely caused the fire. He smelled his older sister Areneye.
He ran across the woods, trying to follow the scent, that was already fading. He reached a clearing with a huge rock on it. And there she was. Areneye looked just like he has remembered her. Dark blue scales, light green fluffy mane, huge yellowish wings, and golden eyes. But now, her eyes were full of insane spark. She was talking in a weird language Harkin didnt know or understand. Then he saw another creature on the clearing. It was standing on two legs, and covered in black fur. It seemed to be wearing some sort of white scary mask and holding a stick with iron on the end of it, looking almost like a spear. It hissed back at Areneye in that weird language and then dissapeared in the shadows of the trees. Areneye twitched her tail, and spoke dragonese now. "My dear brother Harkin, if you would be so kind, you can come out of your hiding place now." Harkin let out a terrified howl, but was paralysed by fear and unable to respond. "No?" spoke Areneye, "Okay then. I will get you out myself." She jumped down from the rock, and with no sound hit the ground. She headed towards Harkin.
He had enough. He could finally move his limbs. He stood up, turned around and ran as fast as he could.
 But he knew he couldnt outrun his older sister. He passed only couple of trees when she pinned him down, and viciously scratched the side of his neck. Her claws dug deep to his skin, cutting through his scales as if they were from paper. Harkin let out a painful howl, and filled with pain looked into eyes of his sister. "It wouldnt end up like this, you know..." Areneye purred, "if you were cooperating, I would spare you." She said, her sanity completely gone now. Harkin smashed his free front paw with all of his might into her face, hitting her right eye. Areneye hissed and let him go. Harkin jumped up and ran again. "You will regret you did that!" yowled outraged Areneye, chasing him once again. Harkin ran fast, but he was losing blood from his wound and got tired quickly. He saw a river running through the forest, and raced to it. When he reached it, his sight was already turning blurry, but he did not give up and jumped across the stream. When he hit the ground, he collapsed on the shore and was too beaten up to stand up again.
So, this is the end, he thought. Areneye will kill me.
She was already on the other side of the river, ready to leap to the other side and end what she started.
"Dont you dare take another step!" a female voice rang out, from behind Harkin. A turqoise dragoness with yellow belly and mane stepped out of the shadows, in front of Harkin, between him and Areneye. "You... Step aside!" screamed Areneye at the  dragoness. The light blue dragon didnt even flinch at her tone, and replied angrily: "Never. I will never let you hurt someone in my presence!" Areneyes eyes turned to slits, and she growled: "Okay then... As you wish, sister!" Then she attempted to jump on the other side, but slipped and fell into the current. She tried to fly out, but it was too strong even for a dragon like her. As the strong surrent carried her away, she yowled: "This is not over!! Antrhaxus WILL get the power he desired!" after that, her voice was carried away by the waves. Harkins blunted mind tried to process one thing. ...Did she say sister?
His blue savior turned to him, revealling light green eyes. She was still a teenager. "Did she hurt you badly?" she asked gently. Harking nodded and closed his eyes. "May I ask you something?" he said, with fainting voice. "Sure..." replied the dragoness with a worried look on her face. "What is your name?" Harkin whispered. He wasnt sure she even heard him. Before he fell unconscious from the blood loss, he heard her say:
"My name is Flake."

TADA THAT WAS SO LONGGGG
Hope I didnt make any grammar mistakes

I managed to get this done two days earlier than I expected, I have two more days.
So, I could probably be able to do it before I leave, but I will make one for Fauna first because she asked first.
(Its fine)
