...Don't die...

Kazimir Karpov (Karpov? hell why not. I can change it later) in part 1 of R.I.P. this is one of the first serious scenes I ever did.

Xanthias' minions have kidnapped Kaz and Kaz is taken to Xathias' secret palace. (which is like, heeeowwge.) Kaz is told by Xanthias about Kogan (Kaz's younger brother). Kogan sold his soul to Xanthias when he died, and in return Kogan was changed inot a demon so that he could stay near his older brother, who had become one of Kage's guardians. Kogan didn't realise that soon Kumo and Kage would join forces so if he had stayed an angel he could have still stayed close to Kaz. Kogan is now Xanthias' personal slave, and Xanthias has developed a device to control Kogan completely, in the form of the pendent Kogan always wears (incidentally in the same shape as the symbol on a compass Kaz gave him when he was four). Kaz is outraged and blames himself when he hears this, as killing Kogan was what made him a demon in the first place, and he believes that Kogan should have been an angel. He refuses to join Xanthias and turn against his comrades, so Xanthias intructs Silvey, Akino and Noubi (his minions) to kill him and leave him on the mountain where Kage, Kumo and the guardians are all hiding. (not knowing that Xanthias has discovered where they are.)

This is Kaz right after the massive beating, when his aching limbs lie still and his heart beats for the last time...

PSYCHE!!! Hahaha... Rune heals him. He lives. he's fine.

This was for me to practice, blood, rain, and funny angles. I think it would have bene more effective completely flat though...

I got the bruise colours from a bruise on my arm from where ~Empress-of-the-Dead his me with a log becuse I poked her. ¬_¬ honestly, such violence.

The words are kage's thoughts that are actually in the comic.
