She lay on the cold rock, breathing hard. She'd never shifted that much and that fast in her life. It was a good thing she'd been training shortly before getting here, else she would have fainted right there and then. Also, any damage inflicted on her spirit would hurt her too - indeed, there was a gash on the back of her wrist.
"You shouldn't push yourself like that."
She looked up. Ciaran was standing with his arms crossed, leaning on a stalagmite behind him, watching her. She managed to get enough breath to say, "You shouldn't just stand there as if you're not even in a fight."
"You're hardly able to fight anyway. It's obvious from your current state that you don't have enough stamina to do what you just did very often. You don't look like you could do much more."

Well aren't you just the coolest person around, Ciaran. >.> xP
Uh, yeah, I couldn't think of a title so I stole the one from page 58. (I thumbnailed and named this page a little after I posted 58, actually.)
This page was pretty fun to draw because of Leanael's hair and eyes. Oh, Ciaran's hair is always fun too. :) I really messed up on her hands, but for some reason I'm not too put out.
Drawing a random little pool of blood made me squirm a little. I don't suppose it's entirely pleasant to be leaking. O.o
I'd gotten so used to having to Photoshop Leanael's Spirit stuff that I got confused after finishing editing my inking. :P
The dialogue on this page isn't spectacular. It's not all that bad, but I'm sure there would have been a better way to say it. It bugs me every time a character corner mark goes over a period at the end of a sentence. I should keep that in mind next time I'm making bubbles. :\
Chapter three is drawing to a close. Rather rapidly too, I have to say. I'm excited. =3 I'm also a bit… well, I don't know what word to use, but I'm rapidly running out of thumbnails, and I need to make more of those or risk having that AND the layouts to do every time I want to make a page on top of drawing, inking, digital cleaning, Photoshopping, and adding panels, text, and speech bubbles. I can barely handle that as it is.
