I haven't commissioned any art in donkeys (Scottish for years). Figured I'd come in light with some fat floofer art. I'm thinking of commissioning the surface entrance to Krieg Moor next, but I'll consider any suggestions if anyone has anything in particular they want to see come to life.
Now, I'm hoping this works. I haven't uploaded art here in, as said before, years. There should be a transparent background one, then one with a background.

A/N: I want to call this a bonus chapter, but in case I don't get another chapter out by Sunday, please consider it early and expect another by next Sunday - the 15th. Also, I hate the editing I need to do for the full skill list. I may look into just using images of the actual Royal Road table moving forward. Dunno. It's huge. Would need multiple pics. It alone takes 10-15 minutes of editing time to reformat.

"Wait, it's inverted?" Lone asked himself as he stared at the monstrously large violet pyramid lined with golden decorations.
This was the first instance of his being able to see the exterior of the place Darkness now called its home.
The only other time he'd been inside of his soul, he'd been pulled directly into the monolithic structure before him. Now, however, he ...

Hamish mulled over Lone's words for a moment before a bittersweet smile appeared on his face. "'At's pure filth."
"Risk-free pure filth," Lone noted. He then glanced at Soph who nodded before disappearing, having used her Teleportation skill.
"We'll only be here for a little over a week," Lone said as he looked at Breen...

"Here we are," Craig announced.
The drive had only taken about five minutes by Daz's estimates. The scenery on the way seemed nice but Daz had no eye for the beauty that could be found in landscapes. If he had to describe what he'd seen in one word, however, he'd have chosen 'hilly'.
He exited the vehicle and opened the rear door for Madison who silently nodded...

Lone, Soph, and Breena, quickly found the table Guildmaster Freya was sitting at. In front of her were several pints of ale alongside a small mountain of paperwork.
Clearly, unlike Gilbert who used his private office to his advantage, the guildmaster of Krieg Moor's branch of The Adventurer's Guild preferred to work in a more pub...

Lone moaned blissfully when he felt the perfectly heated water of the steamforged bath sink into his pores and his tail's fur.
It had been over a month since he'd last experienced the joy that was the perfectly crafted piece of machinery known as a steam bather.
Sure, the cold baths he was able to cobble together thanks to his Dimensional Storage had their charm. A very distinct charm that got old about two days into the month-long expedition.

The leading guard knocked on the door to the warden's office briskly but with respect. "Fox's 'ere!"

"I assume you're coming with us?" Daz asked Alison as he summoned the Ridomochi Final Model the moment he stepped outside of the old chapel.
The nervous McArthur woman nodded hesitantly. "I, uh, don't really have a choice, do I?"
"There is always a choice, but if you want to continue living, then yes, you don't," Daz said as he opened the car's relatively small trunk and gestured for her to get in it.

Reclamation of Outpost Dunthon
Situation: The outpost is at the end of a long string of Farwind roads that have been blocked off for centuries. Since the local council stopped funding the clearing of the road, the outpost was abandoned and has since been inhabited by a band of unlawful exiles.

"Keep it the fook doon!" a dwarf screamed down the hallway, clearly not a fan of Lone's loud request.
Heavy footsteps followed immediately after the shouting. 'Ah. fingers crossed that doesn't earn me a beating. I figured loud and rude was the way to go considering the circumstances.'
Lone backed away from his room's door as he said in a softer tone, "I'm starving, so can I have some food, please? I will be more than quiet if I can have something to eat and drink then hav...

Xer'rava dutifully followed behind his charge, the young princess of all Mineral Dwarves, and, dare he think it, mayhaps even all dwarves period. He checked every corner, every street, every window, every alleyway, every passing individual.
Nothing would harm the Taker with him putting his all into guaranteeing her safety.

Daz peeled his eyes away from his cellphone to look at her. He smiled warmly and said, "Morning, beautiful."
"Mmm... Morning, handsome..." she groggily replied as she used him to steady herself while sitting up. "What, doing?"
Daz shook his phone as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, hugging her close to his chest. "I've been reading the public reaction to our interview last night."

The main floor of the courtroom was cleared of stands, seats and other such equipment while Lone and the Taker's protector moved to the centre of the room.
All spectators were removed from the room except for a select handful, namely Sophie, Breena, Hamish and a handful of dwarves Lone didn't recognise.
More wished to stay but anyone at I-rank wasn't given permission because there were simply too many people for the guards to reasonable protect should something go wrong during the...

The pressure surrounding him made him feel like he was carrying all of Fort Sky upon his back. Perhaps Crusher could do such a thing, but not him.

Thankfully, Wilbur's coughing fit left just as quickly as it had arrived. He also hadn't spat up any blood this time, which was a relief to Lone.

As Daz felt his internal energy flood through his Hamilio bloodline and rush into his right eye, he focused his thoughts on fighting the two ancient figures floating away.
Fire, destruction, death, and victory were the prevalent things Daz witnessed while a vision presented itself to him.
Namely, El Dorado was what was covered in flames. Flames of death and despair.
The buildings and temples lay in ruin. Destroyed in a pointed effort by him during the fighting.

Lone tried his best to get a good look at the primary accusor through his eye wraps. As best as he could tell, the person was a man and obviously a dwarf given his stocky shoulders and short frame.
He was wearing some armour, a pauldron and a heart guard from the looks of things. They appeared to be ceremonial given how there were a lot of squiggles on them. Squiggles Lone was confident were very ornate and beautiful when looked at normally.
