“We’ll make it back together, Henri. Me and you, I promise,” I say, and close my eyes.

“Be strong,” he says, and is overtaken by slight coughs, though he tries to speak through them. “This war…Can win…Find the others…. Six…. The power of…,” he says, and trails off.

I try to stand with him in my arms but I have nothing left, hardly enough strength to even breathe. Off in the distance I hear the beast roar. Cannons are still being fired, the sounds and lights of which reach out over the stadium bleachers, but as each minute passes less and less of them are being fired until there is only one. I lower Henri in my arms. I place my hand to the side of his face and he opens his eyes and looks at me for what I know will be the final time. He takes a weak breath and exhales and then slowly closes his eyes.

“I wouldn’t have missed a second of it, kiddo. Not for all of Lorien. Not for the whole damn world,” he says, and when that last word leaves his mouth I know that he is gone. I squeeze him in my arms, shaking, crying, despair and hopelessness taking hold. His hand drops lifelessly to the grass. I cup his head in my hand and hold it close to my chest, and I rock him back and forth and I cry like I’ve never cried before.

I AM NUMBER FOUR by Pittacus Lore

redid an old artwork. i was supposed to finish this last year, but work took over my time, but i found time to “finish” this sketch today. this scene right here was what sealed the deal for me in finishing this series. no regrets. i do hope they make it into a series one day...there’s still hope!

aaaaaaaaaaaand I’m back! I’m pretty sure a lot has moved on from this book series. 

BUT I HAVEN’T. haha. Lorien Legacies will always have a special place in my heart. It pushed me to draw and it’s how my friendship with my girlfriend/future wife started. haha. I’ll be doing more of these but no more turnarounds. I want to focus more on the storytelling aspects. 

Stay safe fellow Lorics...wherever you are. :)
