Sorlith crashed frantically through the underbrush, ignoring the many scores she collected from briers and thorns along the way. Stealth must be sacrificed for speed this night. She needed to get back onto safe pack grounds as quickly as her lithe limbs could carry her. For this was uncharted territory. And it was hunting season. Kierra would be waiting eagerly for her arrival. This was a political mission, and Sorlith was carrying back with her a very important message from their neighboring rivals that would inevitably decide the fate of her pack lands. But that message would never be known. At that moment a horrible pain shot through her very core. A blade that bit deep and mangled tendon and bone, its poison rotting the soul to fear. She had been shot. In those few painful airborne moments, Sorlith saw her pack flash behind her closed amber eyes. A pack whose love eagerly awaited her at home. And then she hit the earth; the bone-shattering impact driving the arrow head ever deeper into her flesh.

A pack whose hope would die with her.

Forgive me....








The saddest thing since A Bed of Roses. And, like the Bed of Roses project, this was a very old sketch (done 4-5 years ago) that I found in my sketch book and wanted out. Hope you enjoy it. :heart:

Awww! Poor thing, how sad.
You did a wonderful job of drawing this. The expression on her face shows her pain. And I love the way you drew her feet.
:iconsimkaye:
Thank you so much. :) I didn't have to redo very much of the original sketch, but the two things you pointed out, the face and feet, are what I changed. :XD: Years ago I struggled with feet and expressions.

I was going to say awww, but your first comment already has it. So to be special I'm putting "Oh my goodness, thats so sad..." anyways. LOVE IT! Thats what I'm talking about, more sadness and blood. *nods*

This is...wow. I love the emotion in the piece and the feeling that pain that was going on when the arrow hit. The background in this is really cool. I fail at trees xD

Thank you so much! I hate trees too. =( They're boring to draw and difficult. The only thing worse than a tree is shrubbery. :XD:
:iconwrathofreeses:
Oh yes! Shrubbery is just >.< evil...
