Athus Nadorian aka Brian Dyer has passed away
14 years ago
You probably have already read the news.... It's on Narse's journal. You can go there to read more if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2813220/
Athus was a talented artist, 3D modeler, and one of the owners of Bad Dragon, among many other things.
Now.... I was a friend of Athus. I met him through Narse, as the two have been in a relationship for over five years. We talked quite a few times. I am truely shocked at this news and am at a loss for words right now.
I was working on a very personal story for him. This was the un-nammed commission I listed in my last journal. I've already put probably 60-70 hours worth of work into this story already, and I spent long hours getting to know Athus so I could tailor the story to be something that he'd deeply enjoy. It was going to be a surprise gift between me and Narse. Athus never even knew about it. I never even got to finish it....
I feel so bad. I know it sounds ridiculous but I but im just so full of guilt right now.... because I feel like I could have had the story done already if I had really applied myself. I was really looking forward to seeing how excited Athus would get, as he loved my writing already. And I couldn't wait to hear his thoughts on the story after he would read it.
But now he's gone....
I feel so bad right now. I know that Narse, and all the close friends and family of Athus must be mourning too...

I say continue writing the story. Dedicate it to him.
And fly free Athus; you got your wish, you are a dragon now...fly magnificently free.
