Nareheda drew one last long breath from her cigarette, the smoke dancing and playing delicately along her muzzle.

"Bring her in", she choffed as she grinded the remainder of her cigarette into the ash tray.

Two heavily muscled guards opened the door to the room and shoved the prisoner to the floor. Andromeda was badly beaten. A trickle of blood seeped out of her nostril. Her hands were bound behind her.

Nareheda leaned against her draconic companion and looked down on the captive gryphon, a superior smirk on her face.

"You think your ties with the senator make you powerful, huh? Well, let me tell you something sweetheart... I've made people more important then you vanish. I like to think of it as my personal magik trick. Ultimare may be mostly city, but there are a lot of places to hide a body."

A little teaser from a short comic I've been wanting to do. It stars Andromeda and the crime lord Nareheda. So yeah... those of you who wanted to see Andromeda will get your chance. I'm not going to make any promises on when you'll see anything from it since I'm busy with other projects and it's still at the writing stage.

Nareheda is a marble fox, not a border collie. She's pretty much the queen of the underworld on Ulrimare... think of her as a female version of the Godfather.

This picture also gives a sneak peek look at a new character. A yakuza inspired dragon that serves as Nareheda's personal bodyguard. He's still unnamed, and this is a first pass drawing of him so the character design will probably change.

In particular, I don't think I like his head shape. That will most definately change.
