Description Prompt: A Nachtbrag, while still a foot soldier, is of a higher rank than your character. They have told your character to go to Twistoult and steal some important medicines from their shamans. Go get them and bring them back to the Nachtbrag...or else!

Haribon never had much of a sense of humor, even as a chick. To be fair, the Nachtbrag was being sarcastic when he told the not-quite-fledged youngster that, if he ever wanted to become someone of consequence in the clan, he'd better get started immediately.

It hadn't crossed the Nachtbrag's mind that the not-quite-fledged Haribon would actually take this directive seriously at such a tender age-- nor that he would sneak out from under the not-so-watchful eye of his mother hours before dawn and make the ardouous journey to the edges of Twistoult lands on foot and alone.

On Haribon's part, it seemed a perfectly reasonable quest-- if more frightening than he'd care to admit. And once he had what he needed, he ran, and he didn't look back. How was he to know that the Twistoult shaman had no real intention of chasing him?

_____

I may have borrowed the design of the shaman from a certain someone ....

Next up, all the art I owe people!

<3 I can never get over how much I love your art. I could stare at it all day! Just the way you draw beaks and bird faces shows a lot of understanding of the features while still being loose and creative.

Well, I hope you'll be able to go here and see the eagles in Davao. I was looking for mythical creatures from our country when I came across your wonderful work. I'm not sure what Haribon looks like but when I saw your artwork I thought it should look something like that. Fantastic work!!

You always have inspired me in several ways, your work is just beautiful! I love the Fan Art for Tailchaser's Song, you should make fan art for the movie/book of the Plague Dogs! It's a really great movie, regardless of how hard it is to understand them because in the videos are so quiet, and the music is super loud sometimes, so yeah.....but anyways, check it out on Youtube!
