(Excerpt from this chapter)

"So have you decided..." The vixen paused. "Male, or female?"

A yelping laugh, which echoed off the buildings as the hyena flexed their fingers. "Heh, why limit myself? I'll be both. Or whichever I want, however big I want, and woe be to the pitiful mortals who I pick for a night of debauchery." They half-turned. "I can tell you like it."

"I... have a friend it reminds me of." She paused. "I should look them up again soon. I think I'm done feeling sorry for myself. I-"

"You fucked up. Mom has too, but she'd never admit it. She'd just claim it was part of her job, to make a mess of things. So go on, sire, get back to your friends. I'll drop by to keep in touch when I feel like it. Don't go getting yourself blown up in some crazy wizard duel, 'kay? I'm gonna see if I can pretend to be a god to some gnolls a couple dozen worlds over."

I never did upload this, the only picture I tried to get of Sardeth. I figured I should probably share it, since they're now a part of things here. I should look about getting another one. Their character design they settled on is a bit different than it is here, after all. The trouble is finding the right hands to do it coupled to a mind ready to deal with the hassle.
