A brand new version of an old piece ;)

You can find the old piece here: [link]

Nathan (the man in the background) was Killy (Adrian)'s mentor. When Killy felt the need to leave the Luna's Avatars, Killy followed Nathan in the hopes of getting trained properly and come back to the pack strong and capable of protecting them. But things didn't quite go as planned. While Killy did grow stronger, he began loosing himself with the thought of power, and eventually his desire to help the Avatars turned to hatred toward them. Blaming them for his misfortunes, he followed Nathan into corruption until he joined the Bale Hounds, led by Soulless Wolf (who was so evil and disturbing that Soulless Wolf' brothers, sisters, Mother Luna and Father Wolf cast him away and refused to see him as one of them). Corruption eventually ran deep into Killy's soul and his desire to destroy the Avatars became a necessity. Nathan didn't get any better, soon forgetting the reasons of his original trek and digging deeper into madness.

Killy was the one who had the idea to destroy the Avatars from within, and with the help of a time spirit, accelerated his growth until he reached his mid-twenties. His memories were stored away into the far reaches of his mind and a new set of memories were replaced - those of a man he had killed while he spent time in another disturbed world: [link] <--- A good representation of that world. And so he took the identity of Adrian Brooks, infiltrating the Avatars and telling their secrets to Nathan through dreams.

But as time went by, Killy's corruption began to fade. His time with the Avatars showed him that the world wasn't as bad as he'd come to believe. He noticed that the his vision of the Luna's Avatars had become heavily distorted and guilt took him over. When the Avatars were captured by the Bale Hounds, Nathan allowed Killy's memory to return and gave him the chance to kill them himself. Adrian betrayed Nathan, stabbing him in the heart with the silver dagger, killing him right there and then. Following this, his memories became a jumble. Wereabouts of other Bale Hounds couldn't be recalled and many of the things he did as a Bale Hound vanished from his memory. Although aware he had killed the man he saw as his father, he could not recall how.

He didn't rejoin the Avatars although the offer was put on the table. Instead he acted a rogue for a while until he met Vaylen and Mathias and soon a pack was formed. Little by little his memories are returning but it's getting more and more difficult with time.

Hehe a little history lesson ;)

The dagger in Killy's holding is an actual dagger called The Scorpion. I'm quite happy with this remake. Characters look much better, especially Nathan and Adrian XD

Hope you like!

I looked at the older piece and I must say that you have really made a tremendous improvement! Not to say that the first wasn't good, because it really was. But wow, I'm extremely impressed with your work!
It's truly amazing! : D
