[IMAGE ID: Three pages of a black and white comic.
PAGE ONE
PANEL 1:
Perry Porter continues his news report.
"Further investigation," he says, "reveals that this human has been the subject of sightings in Bonesborough for a few weeks now, and is the cause of a recent disturbance at Hexside School. For further comment, here is my own son, Augustus."
PANEL 2:
Perry interviews Gus, who is grinning with excitement. "Augustus, is it true you've encountered this human before?"
"Yeah!" exclaims Gus, "She snuck into the school and now she's my friend! Her name is Luz!"
PANEL 3:
"Now that they're together, I can see…" says Belos. "It's them."
With a point of his finger, he conjures hologram-like illusions of Luz and Lillith, who stand in the throne room facing them, with their names above their heads.
"I don't understand," says Caleb.
PANEL 4:
The illusions have transformed into Luz and Lilith in their disguises from "Elsewhere and Elsewhen." The names over their heads have changed to "Luzura" and "Aunt Dirtrude."
"I had to consult memory magic to be sure," Belos says, "but I was correct."
Caleb reads the names out loud: "Luzura and--"
PANEL 5:
He points, laughing. "Wait, is that the witch who broke your nose?"
"They're the two who helped me find the Collector," Belos grumbles. "I did always have questions about them. Clearly there was time magic involved."
PAGE TWO
PANEL 1:
A profile view of Caleb, quietly sad.
"I see," he says. "And this human attacked a witch in a duel."
PANEL 2:
But then he turns and brings a hand to his chin in thought. "But… the boy called her his friend?"
"Either a cunning ploy, or she is… struggling to find her way," responds Belos. "Either way, she isn't ready to face a witch."
PANEL 3:
A view of footage from the news report, projected by the crystal ball. In a moment from the episode "Convention," Eda exposes the power glyph used on Amity while Luz looks on in surprise.
Belos continues to speak off screen. "If it wasn't for the Owl Lady's intervention, she would have sorely lost."
"The Owl Lady protected her?" Caleb asks.
"Yes, it appears my suspicions were correct."
PANEL 4:
"The portal door has reappeared, in the hands of another one of your blasted Clawthornes."
A close-up of Belos against a totally black background, his face shadowed. One hateful eye gleams from behind his mask.
PANEL 5:
A close-up of Caleb staring up at him, also shadowed against black. His face is lined, his single pupil a pinprick. His expression is schooled neutral.
"And just as before," Belos continues off screen, "the witch has taken advantage to claim a human soul."
PANEL 6:
"No wonder the child came to me for help. If not for Lilith, perhaps I could have aided her back then." He stands in front of the projection, watching the newscast, his back to Caleb. "I should order her collected and brought here. Shield her from further corruption. If only the Owl Lady wasn't guarding her."
PANEL 7:
A close up of Caleb jolting forward, fearful. "NO!" he bursts out.
PAGE THREE
PANEL 1:
A close-up of Belos glowering dangerously over his shoulder, lit by the broadcast from behind. "No?"
PANEL 2:
Caleb sweats. "I mean. Philip, don't you think it'll look suspicious to show too much interest in a human?"
PANEL 3:
Caleb takes Belos hand, clutching him imploringly. "Not to mention the possibilities of meddling in the time-line. It's too risky."
Belos isn't looking at him anymore. He looks ahead at the illusion of Luz, whose back is to us in the foreground. His expression is unreadable.
PANEL 4:
A high angle shot of Belos and Caleb watching Luz's illusion. Caleb still clings to Belos. Luz's illusion is alone now, staring at them blankly as she stands at the far end of the throne room.
"Yes," Belos agrees, "I fear it's too early to intervene. It seems the Lord is testing her."
PANEL 5:
"For now," he continues off screen, "she will have to face the temptations of this realm on her own."
A close-up of Caleb, letting out a breath of relief.
PANEL 6:
Caleb's eyes snap open. Belos' hand has come up to brush his cheek.
PANEL 7:
Belos pulls Caleb into a hug. Caleb's face over Belos' shoulder is drawn in supressed, silent horror, cast in deep shadows, as Belos murmurs to him reassuringly.
"Don't worry, Caleb. The Owl Lady will be taken care of. And then the portal to the human realm will be in safe hands."
PANEL 8:
Belos and Caleb in profile against a black background, casting long shadows on the ground. Belos hunches over Caleb, one arm around his back and the other hand on the back of his head, pressing him close. Caleb dangles limply, face towards the ceiling, pulled halfway out of his wheelchair.
Belos murmurs into Caleb's hair. "I won't let history repeat."

i usually don't do this but i noticed too many of the new followers look like bots (no profile picture, no bio, no likes/following even if they're visible). so if you don't want me to block you please at least update the profile picture (use anything, just please don't have the default icons) and put something in your bio (would be better if it was your age, to follow me you have to be 16+*). i still stand with what i have written in my rules = i'm not your mom and if you interact with me on nsfw posts as a minor it's not my fault*, but i have a lot of followers and i need to do a cleanup. i'm writing this post now but i will start blocking in a few weeks (depending on how busy i am it will either be the end of december or the start of january) so more of you have time to see this, i will reblog this frequently and give one last warning before starting to block.
*i'm not posting much fluff anymore but it's still something i write so ofc what i stated in the past still stands, if you're a minor you can interact with those works and talk to me about sfw things but you still have to be 16 (if you're younger get out thanks)
feel free to reblog this too so it reaches more people!

How do you draw dragons? All of them look absolutely amazing and I'm horribly curious.
- <3
im not sure how to answer this, because i dont really know! i've been drawing dragons for so long that the process is almost Entirely subconscious at this point.
hm... i know that when i was pinning down the Technical aspect of their anatomy, i mostly modeled them off of cats & horses. i still do, in a sense! but really, i draw them like i draw anything else. i break them into simplistic puzzle pieces and just... slap em together
like the dragon Wallies i just posted kinda show my full process - i didn't erase any guidelines! You Can See It All! circle for the head, circle for the chest, bumps for where the limbs go. the neck triangles into the chest. etc. uh. yeah!
