"Brother"

Yes, the title of this post will be explained in this post. X3 

I drew this in around ten minutes last night. I just finished coloring this a few minutes before deciding to make this post. 

So the drawing is of little Fierdan and little Dawn in the black desolate wasteland called "Jamaa". Before I forget though, some explaining.

First off, I also have these plans for Fierdan's Past (so sad *cri* ;-;) irl as well as my plans for upcoming story events in the TEO series.

Fierdan was the only "survivor". He had to be alone in the black wasteland with all those blackened corpses for an unrecorded length of time (pretty long time though). No one (obviously no one) knew how he still managed to stay alive while alone in the "sea of black". Since all those scientist-government humans who controlled this whole "Jamaa" concept and deporting so many people secretly planned on killing all the people in Jamaa by deporting them and leaving them in the black poison to die (Fierdan of course living). So Fierdan had to, you know, go in the sea of black. For the first few days, he forced himself (when he was deported, he was just 4 or 5 years old) to starve himself. But then one day on the brink of death (not by the black poison or whatever, but by starvation), he suddenly had the will to live and not die like this. So then he decided (though refusing to many times) to start eating the least black contaminated body parts of all those dead bodies (the people who went to Jamaa with him). 

Then a long time later, the second Jamaa deportation arrived. By now, Fierdan never referred to himself as Dan (he completely forgot his human name and nicknames at this point), and he was a fox and not human anymore. Then when all those in the second deportation died off just like in the first one, Dawn happened to survive. So then she hid in the sea of black and cried. Then later on, Fierdan found her after just walking around looking if anyone was alive like him (and not dying by the black) (he looks for any survivors every day he's there). So then he finds Dawn, and then they both depressingly smile because them seeing each other as a form of hope. So then they do what Dawn says they did in her POV in Chapter 47. 

Soon enough, Dawn also turns into a fox-human hybrid like how Fierdan is. But more fox than human, y'know? Dawn always looks up to Fierdan (not just because he's a bit older and bigger than her, but because he found her and gave each other hope and he basically made her live) like a close friend. She never referred to Fierdan as a "brother" (you know when a little girl has a very close friend who's a boy and is like the girl's kinda role model? that's what she means by "brother"), but always thought of him like that kind of brother. Fierdan always put Dawn and her life before his own. 

And now what the scene I drew is of. X3 

Dawn and Fierdan were walking one day looking for any possible survivors like what they did every day. Then the conversation turned to "memories" of their lives before being deported to Jamaa and turning into foxes. And just by trying and failing to recapture previous memories, they began getting tears in their eyes because it was still too painful for both of them to try and remember their past lives.

Now, the scene! ;-; 

"Fierdan?" began Dawn. "I just wanted to tell you something." 

Fierdan stepped over a chunk of black ash and turned back to look at Dawn who was behind him and holding his paw. He sighed, defeated, "I already told you. I don't remember anything else." 

Dawn hesitated and then said, "No, it's not about that."

"Okay," Fierdan replied plainly and began to walk forward again, making Dawn clumsily follow him, still holding his paw in her own. 

Dawn said, "I just wanted to say I appreciate all you've been doing for me, and I, I...", and then suddenly paused. 

"Yeah, of course," Fierdan muttered still walking on, dragging Dawn behind him. 

Then Dawn blurted out, "I love you more than a friend, Fierdan! You're always there for me, and I see you as my, my... I love you as an older brother!" Tears ran down her face a little bit faster as she said "brother".

As her last word was blurted out, Fierdan suddenly halted. "Brother," he breathed in a distant voice, "You see me as an older brother. Brother..."

Dawn caught up to Fierdan, and she gasped as she suddenly saw his wide and terrified eyes. "I'm sorry, did I bring up a painful memory?"

Fierdan only replied by saying in a distant voice, "Brother, Brother... Where am I?" 

Dawn, now speechless, just listened to what Fierdan was whispering. 

"Why did you let them take me, brother? I'm scared, so where are you? Where am I? I... I loved you."

Dawn just stood beside Fierdan. Hearing him now screaming and crying, made her cry too.

"Why did Zios hate me?!" he cried out. "What did I do to deserve this?!"

Watching Fierdan break before her, she whispered under her breath, "Fierdan... I'm so sorry."
