Description
Like a ghost made out of dark grey fog, the figure floated above the ground and moved towards me in a solemn manner. It’s arms were were like lithe sticks, it’s hands like bony claws.
The figure stopped moving when it was a few inches away from me. I stood as still as possible, trying my best not to move a muscle. With it’s rightmost bony hand, it took my leftmost hand. To the touch, it’s fingers were like icicles and it’s palm felt the same.
Scared as of what the figure would do to my hand, I tried getting rid of the figure’s grip. I attempted to pry it’s fingers off of my hand, but they wouldn't budge. An exasperated sigh left me as I tried over and over to loosen the figure’s grip. My attempts proved to be for nothing.
The figure, still gripping my hand, turned away towards the forest and started floating back to the grim place. My subconscious started to panic, changing my breathing pattern to become erratic and fast.
“L-let me go!” I shouted at the cluster of dark fog, but that didn't help at all.
“I said.. let. me. go!” I repeated my words once again, but the figure kept dragging me towards the forest. I tried pulling the figure back towards the shore, but I didn't make it move backwards at all.
Almost near the bushes, the closer look at the forest sent chills up my spine. The lithe, almost dead, branches curled around the figure and I, blocking my view of the shore. The soft hissing of snakes and caws of crows filled my ears when the figure ceased to move.
And that was when I thought my nightmare ended.
“Do not fret, mystic. I shall defend your code.” The collection of grey fog stated in a somewhat silvery male tone.

This is just a little teaser to a story that I've been writing! :3 The section above and the drawing above both connect in a way that has not been revealed yet.
Let me tell you that the character depicted in the drawing is the protagonist of the story. Their name has not been conceived yet, by the way. They are meant to be a mistake that the antagonist created.
More about that later.

I'm actually quite proud of this drawing, for I've never tried this kind of shading/coloring before. Like,,,, ever,, in my entire life. I hope y'all like this as much as I do. :3
