Description
"I can't believe this! You're here!" Adhara looked young again, jumping in happiness and laughing loudly. "You..." She stopped suddenly, surprised that he had not yet shown any reaction. "Alcor?""I... I... I never thought you'd be so happy to see me." He closed his eyes and crystal tears began to fall. "After all I did, after all that happened, how can you give me such a reception?" Alcor opened his mouth in despair, letting the two feathers he had carried for so long, float gracefully until they touched the grass.
Adhara lowered her head and picked them. "We've spent so much time apart Alcor. Remember the promise we made after Zuni's death?" He turned his head away from hers. "We promised we'd never get separated again, we broke that promise, but we can always try again."
"I couldn't stand the pressure... seeing that dragon attacking us... I just panicked. Images of how Zuni died came to my head... I couldn't pull myself to reality again... I just ran away and left you..."
"Alcor" she pushed his mane with her teeth, trying to make eye contact, but he refused to look at her eyes. "I forgive you, I want to forget what happened. I was angry at you in the beginning but it wasn't worth it besides, I knew you'd come to find me and you did!"
"How will we be able to keep going on like all this just never happened?"
"We will just move on, what do you want me to say?"
Alcor faced her "How?"
They met, they talked and Adhara forgave Alcor. Alcor doesn't seem too convinced of the future that awaits them, it's Adhara how should be sad, but she isn't, so why is he though? Silly boy! 10 works after the very beginning and they're together again. It sure took some time XD
Yup! Adhara had returned to Zuni's grave after her search for Alcor, seeking courage to keep searching once again, but he found her before that and Zuni is now watching both of them.
Yay!

I don't know really, but that huge amount of detail makes me cry whenever I have to color/shade grass on my works XD I must be a masochist or something o-O

I've been trying to get things smoother and softer, but I still want to stick to some sharpness too so I've been using the point of the pencil less and less and using the side of the beak more.
I love his eyes too, they're so expressive and full of life. Such a huge contrast agaisnt Adhara's dull ones.
Thank you so much Grace!

I love their heads, especially Alcor's. And those green eyes! Just beautiful. Fantastic job, Joana. The story...their reactions, fantastic. That's probably some of the best text you've written, and it's all so clear in the picture.
I really need to get some more art up soon...it's taking me way too long, but school has been horrendous
Ah, well, at least you're productive

Why thank you so much Ashley! I'm so glad you think so.
I'll be looking foward to see more art from you! School has been horrible here too, I fortunately got some time on the weekend.
Yes, productive but not for the work I should have done ages ago XD The contest entry to Nyxen's contest.

Wow, I didn't thought this would have such an impact on you people! I, myself almost cried while writing this but I never thought you'd cry too! Here's a tissue.
I tried to make the characteristics of the breeds these two are based on more visible this time. Like Alcor is based on a friesian/lusitano mix and Adhara is more arabian.
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you so much!

*First comment dances * I have to tell you "I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee this piece, just love it
" I love both of their expression, especially's Alcor. You almost make me cry while reading the story and looking to Alcor's eyes. Just an amazing piece. Gasp :bas head to desk: How could I not recall this place, Zuni's grave, so dump for me not remembering it. Again, excellent job, you would deserve a mod's choice on elfwood

PolarisAstrum In reply to hennap [2007-10-01 21:14:59 +0000 UTC]
Haha, don't worry! I probably wouldn't thought of Zuni's grave either since Adhara had been there so recently.
I'm posting it at Elfwood right now, along with a huge pile of other works XD
Thank you so much Henna! It's great to hear this had such a strong impact on you!
