Chris found her father in his favourite spot in the palace overlooking the balcony as a thunderstorm off in the distance was starting to cover up the dazzling sunset. She had hoped that she would find him there, because she desperately needed to talk to him. His change in moods over the past few months, and his sudden lashing outs at his own father had given the girl a raise of alarms. Dartz wasn't acting like the father that she had always known, and she was determined to find out what was wrong.

"Daddy?" she asked softly as she approached him

No answer. This time she spoke up a little louder, because he seemed to be in deep thought about something.

"Dad?"

Again no answer.

"Father!"

He looked at her without a start slowly. "Oh, Chris, hello."

She looked at him almost painfully as she wondered where she should even begin. "Daddy, I need to talk to you. I'm scared."

Dartz put a hand on the balcony railing and looked at her softly. "What for, Chrisy?" She wanted to roll her eyes at the petname, but held back.

"I'm scared for you, Dad. You're..." she couldn't think of the right word," acting strangely. I've never seen you get so angry before."

He looked back at the sunset in uninterest at his daughter's accusations, which irritated her. She wanted to know why he seemed to not care.

"You threatened to kill grandfather! I was there. I heard it with my own ears!" She looked at the sunset with him trying to calm her boiling nerves. "Why?" He sighed with annoyance. The thunderstorm was inching further across the horrizon, and tears began to fall down her cheeks. "I'm scared you're going to go too far!"

Dartz turned around and looked at the marble ground, and Chris put her hand out towards her father. She saw it. She saw a hint of remorse in his features. His green and gold eyes looked sad, and she wanted to know so bad what he was thinking.

"Please..."she softly said. "Please, come back to us. I know the real you is still inside somewhere. Mom, Grandpa, and I miss you."

At the mention of Iorei, Dartz remorse turned to anger. He knew she was becoming one of them--one of the monsters that plagued the Atlantians. The Orichalcos commanded him, and he had no room for evil. The sky was becoming darker as the thunderstorm reached it's cold hands across the sky.

"Never," Dartz said coldly. "I have been called upon the gods to destroy all evil, and nothing will get in my way. There is no turning back." He stormed off towards the inside of the palace. Chris stared with disbelief and complete sadness, and her tears fell down her cheeks with more force as she began to sob "no, no,no..."

The pink and orange sunset was now covered by the massive thundercloud, and no light reached Chris. There was no happiness in the sunset now just as her worst nightmare became real. She lost her father.

I don't know what posessed me to write that. That most likely will be apart of my Dartz fanfiction Behind Emerald Shadows, but since I haven't gotten that far into the story, I don't know. :rofl:

Medium: colored pencils
Time: Too long...3 weeks off and on...mostly off...:laughing:

Dedicated to: ~Mayte for being a fan of the fanfiction, and for supporting my ideas! :hug: Thank you! Also, she's the biggest Dartz fan I've ever seen. O3O.

Special Thanks: *Amelda-kun for helping me with the title! Thanks! ^_^

:heart: Enjoy!

Wow! This is absolutly awesome!!! :D
I so adore the coloring here! It's so beautiful!!!
Amazing work! :heart:
:iconmayte:
Oh my God! :heart: This turned out so amazing! *_* (Seriously, I’m in complete awe of the coloring…it’s just so beautiful. :faint: I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome this picture looks)! I really love the scene, and your opening story was such a treat to read! ^.^ I would certainly love for this to be in your fan fiction (although I don’t want to pressure you or anything…lol ^^; ), but it’s such a dramatic and incredibly emotional moment between Chris and Dartz—I totally adore the foreboding atmosphere and the already increasing tension between the two (it’s a very nice buildup for Dartz’s eventual super-villainy plot and / or personality change XD ). And as usual, you’ve done such a fantastic job with writing this little excerpt! Being able to read more about Dartz and Chris’ interaction (before Dartz goes completely insane) was just so touching for me—especially with Chris. Ahh...poor little Chris, I really felt sorry for her. T_T Both your story and drawing have such a poignant and ominous feeling; you’re always so good at incorporating these wonderful emotions into your work! I would love to create artwork that actually has a meaning, you know? And I think you really do an awesome job at that. :D

Anyway, I better move on to your picture (I’m sorry to say my response looks like it’s going to be another monster comment—I’m really sorry! ^^; ). I know I told you before just how much I loved the lineart for this, but I can’t help repeating myself: it really is wonderful! ^.^ And the coloring…oh my God. It’s gorgeous! I mean…three weeks? O_O I can definitely see just how much time and effort you’ve put into this, because the coloring is absolutely amazing! :w00t: I love the shading on Dartz and Chris’ hair and clothes—Dartz really does look so handsome and Chris is incredibly adorable at his side. ^_~ And of course, I couldn’t possibly forget to commend you on how beautiful the background turned out…it is simply gorgeous! Oh wow, I would die to be able to produce a background that looked half that decent. *_* (Seriously, the coloring is absolutely fantastic! The graying clouds, the slight sunset on the horizon, and the reflection on the water…there’s just so much detail here and you executed it all so well! I think you should be doing the backgrounds on all of my pictures from now on. Lol XD ). Anyway, I think everything about this picture (and your story) is completely awesome! Amelda-kun came up with a really great title for this, btw, and I’m so happy you used it! (Also, I’m just so flattered that you would dedicate this to me—thank you so much! :hug: I totally don’t deserve the honor, but you know I’m always thrilled to read your wonderful fan fiction and view all of your beautiful artwork ^_^ :heart: ).

Ah…my comment is getting even longer than I had expected. I’m sorry! But before I end this, I just wanted to give you a response to something you mentioned in your most recent note (the reason I want to tell you now is just so you won’t have to wait a whole month or however long it’ll take for me to type a response to that—I know I always take forever and I didn’t want to keep you waiting ^^; ). Anyway, it was about your P,D,S portrait ideas…I would certainly love to do a collab with you on that! :D I’m so happy and really flattered that you’d ask me! Your ideas for each character sounded fantastic, and I think it’s such a wonderful project to dedicate to the three sexiest gents from YGO. ^_~ Thank you for telling me all about it! (And I’ll certainly have more to say about it in my note, I’m sure ^.^ ). In any case, I better wrap this comment up your sake. Lol. But once again, this is just an amazing and incredibly gorgeous picture of Dartz and Chris! Your opening story was beautifully written and so touching, and I really adore how heartrending this whole scene is! :heart: Thank you so much once again for the kind dedication; I really appreciated it! :hug: And of course, awesome, awesome work on the coloring—I just can’t tell you that enough! ^_^ :clap:

Yay, more drawings from you! I love the story at the top, it's always fun to read stories that accompany art. =D Your skill with colored pencils is wonderful and unique, and you have a background that looks real!

Very nice selection of colours. I especially like the background: sea (cool!) and the sky. Though during sunset the sky couldn't be so light. It looks like there is one more source of light just behind the head of Dartz.

:sniff: That's such a sad fanfic. But it is good, I do hope you write more. :D

The pic looks so beautiful! :omfg: I love how you did Chris' hair, looks so pretty. :D I also admire how you colour and shades pics, especially with those clouds...they look so soft..like real clouds!!! You are so talented. :clap:
