So this was originally going to be like a 3 page comic with like 4 panels each. Yeah that didn't happen.

Also if you don't understand what's going on that's ok, I tried to explain in the comic, but I'll explain anyway.

Basically Luna and Dawn are walking to town because they're guardians, but still have to check on their people too. Dawn doesn't like it, but Luna makes her do it anyway. Because they get there Luna senses something's off just in time to block a very negative being disguised as a wolf villager from attacking Dawn [it's not actually a wolf, it was a dog villager because it transformed it].

Luna sensing the danger it could bring to Dawn tells her to go back to the tree, Dawn thinks that's stupid because she's not defenseless. Luna still tells her to stay back because the entity's energy might make her weaker so she fights the entity first.

After fighting, the entity soon realizes it's not powerful enough to fight Luna and it wouldn't be in a position to fight Dawn either, so makes a last resort measure. Using all the negative power it has, plunges them both into darkness. Dawn can't see a thing in this darkness while the entity can [There's not much she could've done even if she could see, she can't summon magic in that amount of negativity unless there was an equal amount of positivity].

The entity cuts her, leaving right afterwards which causes the darkness go away. Luna then finds her but it's too late.

Also the inspiration came from this sketch I was going to post, but then I thought: "What if Dawn got the scratch before Luna turned into Dusk?" And then this happened [also that is how Dawn's armor looks like].

I wasn't too sure where to go from the idea so built some scenarios in my head [that I couldn't sleep], scenario 1 was pretty much page 1. Scenario 2 was pretty much they're defending the tree and Dawn got a little reckless [which is basically what happened in the sketch].

And I didn't really have a script to follow there's a lot of scrapped stuff that didn't make it the final version, I'll show both the sketched versions and scraps.

Sketches:

page 1:

page 2:

page 3:

Church sketches yipee

page 4 [both versions]:

The fight was only one page in the first version, but it didn't really follow my script that I wrote around the second page was being made so I made a second version.

Scraps:

This was part of the original idea, short comic that didn't have too many ideas thrown around. Basically the entity was going to use its power to put Dawn in a trance which would've distracted Luna but not have as much affect. Dawn would've gotten the scratch after that.

Scrap of page 4, yeah this just wasn't going to work out.

Pages 4 and 5 kept getting thrown around because my script said the entity was losing so yeah.

Ok that was longer than I thought it'd be but yeah. Had a lot of fun making this one, [will make another drawing this week :>]
