Rising Storm: Chapter FiveCHAPTER FIVE: MATTERS OF RANK

The Field Marshal's tent lay on the far side of the army encampment, well back from the front lines. By the time they arrived, another warm Aregese night had fallen, heavy as silk. Instead of riding, Dida had taken Banner's saddle off and carried it over his shoulder. The mare trailed after him, her reins hanging unused, while Dida pointed out their destination.

"Go on in," he said, waving them toward the tent, larger and sturdier than any they'd seen in Company Four. It could almost have been a house, wooden half-walls giving way to a canvas roof. "Tell him Dida says you're the one he wants. I'll be back once

Rising Storm: Chapter FourCHAPTER FOUR: HUNT

The blood on Erylandes' hands unsettled him. Farren could tell by the way he held them at waist level, half cupped. Sitting back on his heels, Farren pointed his stained knife toward a patch of grass. "If you vomit, do it over there."

Erylandes didn't move. "I'm all right."

"Yeah, well, you don't look it."

Farren went back to his butchery. Where Erylandes saw death, Farren saw fresh venison, to supplement the scanty rations doled out by the quartermaster. Food did not appear out of thin air for everyone.

The other three soldiers in their hunting party showed more sympathy. "Here, boy, use my canteen to rinse off," said

RS: Your Faultby ~KJanuary

©2007-2013 ~KJanuary

----Excerpted from Rising Storm----

"You're a fool," Farren hissed. "You can't rewrite the laws of the world just because you don't like them. If you hate killing so much, then go crawl back to whatever dreamland you came from, because you don't belong here. It’s a bloody, reeking war we're fighting in a bloody, reeking, hellbound world."
"That's why I'm here," Erylandes replied evenly, but his narrowed eyes revealed his temper. "I came to change that."
"You can't change anything! The only thing you’ve done so far is killed my family!"
He saw the wince that went through the young man. "I never meant... Farren, I wouldn't..."
"Because you couldn't stand to have blood on your hands, you let them be murdered!" Farren’s voice was rising, all the anger he had been supressing for weeks suddenly igniting at once. "Yes, you crippled hypocrite, it’s your fault!"

Speed-drawing, speed-inking, and speed-painting in a different style than usual. The background is adopted from a photograph because I'm lazy. The writing is taken from the middle part of RS, because it says more than author's notes would.

Ery, Farren, and RS belong to me.

I like this one, the dark grittiness and the power of the emotions coming through their positions and showing in their eyes. Very nicely done.

Just wondering...not to pressure you or anything, but I just caught up on all of the comics you have on Drunk Duck and smackJeeves...so when's the next page coming out?

You suckered me in with the mystery and the interesting array of characters. The drawings are awesome too. It's interesting to see your style improve and change and become more defined.

Hope to see more pages soon.
