Description He shared my body,
He shared my heart,
He shared my soul,
Until we were to depart.

They once shared the same body; a tortured soul of an ancient spirit inhabited the body of a young, innocent boy. Their relation was unknown, how had he inherited such a dark spirit? However, once the boy had lost his innocence to the pains of the world around him, he had spent his days dwelling the world alone... alone, all but the voice in his mind, and the presence of this dark spirit. The whispers in his ear to tell him to kill, the voice echoing in his mind telling him to slay to the extent of death. He realised soon that he had a dark side, but it had a mind of its own, the spirit had a history, a life and the boy knew that the spirit was manipulating him to do actions against his own morals. He approached the most powerful mage he knew, a humble blood mage who then separated the spirit and left him to wonder the world without a body.
Eventually, after the boy’s son was murdered by chaos, the spirit then found a new body to possess, but found himself constantly drawn to the boy, trying to allure him so that he could regain that power over such an innocent soul, despite the treacherous actions he had made him perform.
After the separation was performed, the boy felt lonelier than ever, realising everyone else would sooner or later leave him. He had reminisced upon their conversations and realised that their destiny was to be together; they were kindred spirits both drowning in the pain of loss. They protected one another, as much as they detested the other.
They were the same and so would be forever bound.

Done this over livestream, as usual right? So here’s Roy and Darkminder. I decided to draw the side of Darkminder without the scar because it really lets everyone see the softer side to him. Once more I wanted to practice lighting effects blah blah blah. I also wanted to give them wings because I love attempting to draw wings (Even though I fail). I gave Roy a dark, dragon like wing and Darkminder an angel wing, irony? Maybe. Well I tried to give them very thoughtful expressions. He may be alone but at least he’ll have the darkness to comfort him.

Song of inspiration: Run Joey Run [I love songs that tell a story...]
(Chorus- woman's voice)

Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gonna get married
Just you wait and see

Every night, the same old dream
I hate to close my eyes
I can't erase the memory
The sound of Julie's cry

She called me up, late that night
She said, "Joe, don't come over,
But Dad and I just had a fight
And he stormed out the door!

I've never seen him act this way,
My God, he's goin' crazy
He said he's gonna make you pay
For what we done-- he's got a GUN!
So run, Joey run, Joey run!"

(Chorus- woman's voice)

Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gonna get married
Just you wait and see

Got in my car, and I drove like mad
'Til I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tear-filled eyes
And bruises on her face!

All at once I saw him there,
Sneaking up behind me (Woman's voice: Watch out!)
Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"
And she stepped in front of me

Suddenly, a shot rang out
And I saw Julie falling!
I ran to her, I held her close
When I looked down, my hands were red
And here's the last words Julie said...

(Woman's voice)

Daddy please don't
It wasn't his fault
He means so much to me
Daddy please don't
We're gon...na get... mar...ried......

Run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey run, Joey ruuuuuunn!!!

Roy Swordsman + Dante Darkminder (c) Me

Hmm... so wait, is Darkminder like, actually a part of Roy that was taken OUT? o.O
That's so crazy-- I'm confused but interested.
Anyway, I really like the unison you prtrayed in this picture. Even though I'm confused, just looking at the picture you can't help but feel that the characters are connected somehow. I also like the lighting and the colors you used. The lighting creates a very... unreal feeling. Like ... I don't really know how to describe it. Etherial maybe? Anyway the colors blend together really nicely, and it just makes the whole piece so easy to look at. ^-^

xD yeah Darkminder was seperate first, then banished away by a sorcerer, then found his way into roys bloodline and took hold of him - kinda like a dark side to him. Anyway thanks so much :3
