Dorys Full Visual Reference

Posted on by

New post, because I fully updated her design (feral form was updated actually 2 years ago…), and added her true “humanoid” Wyldaeren form. I thought I had already uploaded it…but nope. So here it is.

I advise that you zoom in, so you can see and read it all.

I moved the rest away to scraps (over DeviantART.com), as it’s old, and the feral forms design didn’t reflect themselves from winter / summer, there were too many differences, and it felt like two different designs, and I’ve been wanting to change that for a long time now. Also, the red of her markings was way too red, and I wanted to tone it down for it to look more natural.

Also, I will repeat myself here :

-Her middle name is pronounced like this : Lùnsheynn [loon-shei-in].

-The winter design is supposed to be fluffier, but for practical reasons when making the ref sheet, I didn’t show this.

-I know her wings should be much bigger in comparison to her body and for her to fly, but I somewhat ran out of space.

-Wyldaeren ( [wil-de-run] ) are a species of my own. They are closed, for now. (Please, be respectful). 🙂

Also, if you are interested in how she evolved in designs, here are the links :

Chapter Five : Demon Hunter

Scene 6, Epilogue : Aftermath

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : No Escape )

The dim light made its way into the tree house when Dorys eventually opened her eyes. A feminine Wyldaeren figure was sitting at the end of her bed. Dorys squinted and recognized Alva.

“Welcome back, friend.” Alva greeted with a smile.

“Oh, hi, Alva. Long time no see.” Dorys replied with a small smile. “How long was I…passed out ?”

“Almost three days. You’re healed, now, though. How do you feel ?” Alva’s voice was soft. It felt good to the ears after all this chaos.

Dorys rose to sit on her bed, clumsily. “Ouch, my head.” She rubbed the back of her head. “It’s like a thousand demons have attacked me these past few days…ouch ! Oh, wait…”

“Haha ! You silly.” Alva patted Dorys on the shoulder. “You’d have to tell me more details around the dinner we still haven’t had.”

“And to think I came to visit you last time, haha, indeed!” Dorys was still rubbing her head. “It’ll be okay. Give me five minutes and I’ll be ready again for more, you’ll see.” She grinned.

“Of course, you will.” Alva winked. “Join me outside when you’re ready.” She smiled.

Dorys got up and was out five minutes later with Alva, making plans for the next few days.

THE END.

Scene 5 : No Escape

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : Follow The Trail )
(Epilogue : Aftermath )

She could no longer see Bane, and she yelled after him. “Come into the Light ! You coward !”

She looked where she thought he was, when she felt something tore into her side, she yelped and swiftly moved aside, leaving Bane’s jaws to slam shut into sheer air. At the same time, a hail of arrows made its way into Bane’s side. He roared and staggered.

When Dorys found herself behind him, she jumped on his butt, planting her claws on his thighs and her teeth into the small of his back. He screamed in pain before she could solidify her grip, and turned around in an attempt to eject her, roaring furiously. Then he immobilized himself, as if preparing to buck. Dorys took the occasion to adjust and tighten her grip, piercing through his skin, she bit down hard, until she felt something crack. His yell tore through the air, as his hindquarters collapsed.

She gripped his back and made her way to his throat, gripping it with her flexible and dexterous front paws and using her weight to pin him down.

“Surrender, Hildyrr !” Dorys growled, towering over a beaten up, arrow-ridden Bane. “Or else…” she snarled, “…he will die !”

Hildyrr scoffed “Go ahead. I will kill her.” She said, roughly handling Alva, pressing the dagger yet harder against her throat. “And I know how precious she is to you.” She snickered.

Dorys noticed an Earth Warden standing with her bow. She made a discreet sign with her head, and the sentinel armed her bow, loosening an arrow into Hildyrr’s shoulder. She winced, her grip loosening a little, but it was enough for Alva to take advantage of it, and she struck Hildyrr’s ribs with her elbow, freeing herself from the demoness’s grip. Hildyrr bounced back on her feet, and, with a swing of her arm, cut through Alva’s cheek.

Dorys growled. “You asked for it, Hildyrr.” Before swooping down onto Bane’s throat to tear it wide open. Bane choked, his blood ran on the soil, forming a macabre pool where the demon lay, now lifeless.

Hildyrr faltered, almost on the ground, screaming in pain. “Bane, noooo !! You filthy bitch ! What have y-you…What have you d-done ?!” Her voice trembled, but no tears would come out. “You destroyed everything ! My husband ! M-my-my love !!” She was hysterical. “You will pay with your soul !!” She was enraged. Shifting into her twisted and demonic shadowy snow leopard form, she lunged for Dorys’s throat.

Dorys bounced from where she stood, escaping Hildyrr’s jaw by an inch. She bumped into Hildyrr’s side, tearing through her ribs. Hildyrr spun when she landed striking Dorys with her clawed paw, making her lose balance and roll on her back. Hildyrr lunged for her throat, but Dorys kicked her back and away from her. Hildyrr approached her from a different angle, whilst Dorys was trying to get back up. The demoness caught her at the throat, pinning her down, while Dorys was ripping at her head.

Then an arrow flew out of nowhere, lodging herself into Hildyrr’s leg. She cried out, and spun around, seeing Alva was preparing another onto her bow.

The demoness snarled. “You…I will end you !” She lunged for Alva, and landed on her, but Alva was well prepared, and pulled out a dagger that she planted into Hildyrr’s side. Hildyrr yelped and backed off.

Dorys bellowed. “Not Alva, you fucking bitch !” She came behind and caught her by the tail, severing two vertebrae.

Hildyrr roared in pain, pulling the knife from her side with her paw, and lunged at Dorys again. They both rose against each other, but Hildyrr pushed and Dorys stumbled onto her back, again. She tore at her arms, whilst Dorys was tearing at her head, and legs.

“You both have no guts !” Hildyrr growled. “I’ll end your pathetic existence !” She swooped down, but Dorys moved slightly, making Hildyrr jaws close on her arm, instead of her throat.

Dorys yelped, but managed to talk in between. “We fight for what we love…unlike you, right ?! Fuck, anyone who’s ever loved you was wrong…! You denied your family the moment he got in your pants !!”

“Silence !” Hildyrr roared, faltering at the same time.

“It’s the truth !” Dorys bellowed.

“I saved them !! Shut up !!” Hildyrr placed a paw onto Dorys’s throat.

Dorys swallowed and managed some words, still. “Not because you were heroic. You’re truly the one with no guts and no sense of justice, killing my people.” She raised her back legs into Hildyrr’s soft, now exposed belly, gutting her.

Hildyrr screamed in agony, and her claws caught hold of Dorys in a desperate attempt to rip out her throat.

Another arrow flew out, still from Alva. But Hildyrr didn’t care anymore as she was now in constant pain from her ripped belly. Dorys managed to kick her off from her, shifting back into her humanoid form. Only to have the demoness lunge back at her and toppling her over.

Dorys gasped, some bones must have broken. But she caught her short sword, panting. “This one’s for the Wyldaeren skull in your bone collection.” She rammed it into Hildyrr’s throat from the side, decapitating her. Hildyrr’s body became flaccid, and Dorys pushed it away. She passed out as Alva was rushing to check on her.

Chapter Five : Demon Hunter

Scene 4 : Follow The Trail

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : Carnage, Incoming )
(Next : No Escape )

Dorys rushed through the forest again, towards where it all began. The smell of the village was becoming stronger, mixed up with that of blood and some burning, and so were the cries. She passed by panicked Wyldaeren people running past her with their children in their arms. Some had blood on their clothes, others were burnt in places, a look of deep confusion and terror in their eyes. Then she caught a glimpse of smoke, and then burning tents and other semi-sedentary buildings burning, with people still fleeing and others…who didn’t get that chance. There were demons too. She could sense them.

Then she felt points closing in on her leg, and yipped, trying to yank her away from her direction. She fell on her butt and spun her head, catching a glimpse of moving shadows. She stood up and growled.

Then she felt claws digging into her butthocks. She spun around, with the hellhound attached to her, then she threw herself on her back, and maneuvered to catch its head into her claws, tearing its ears and face to shreds. Its shriek seemed to tear the very air apart. Then she felt another jaw close from behind her skull. She winced at the pressure and pain it caused, while it was trying to yank her around. She roared, clawing the air behind her head. Eventually, she caught some flesh. She closed her paw, tearing through it, a morbid waterfall of blood falling down her face and neck. The other lunged for her, and she tensed herself, poised for an attack. The hellhound jumped high, only to be stopped and killed by a hail of arrows, coming from behind her.

She spun, her eyes scanned the area, trying to peer past the fires and smoke, and a silhouette appeared, albeit as an animal. Dorys peered harder and recognized Alva’s war form. They nodded to each other. Besides Alva, several silhouettes of armed Wyldaeren with bows, arrows and swords appeared, some even being transformed into their war form.

Dorys was panting. Hildyrr, why are you doing this…she thought, clenching her jaw as she contemplated the chaos before her. Then she took a deep breath. “Hildyrr !” she bellowed, “Show yourself !”

Then Hildyrr appeared, her blades out, covered in blood, smirking. She turned her head towards Dorys, her smirk disappearing for the merest second, only to be replaced by a look of anger. “You ! …you escaped ! How ?!”

“I just had to follow the ‘trail of corpses’ you left behind. Remember ?” Dorys snarled.

“Clever.” Hildyrr gritted her teeth. Then, she roared. “But you shouldn’t be meddling in my affairs. Die, now !”

Dorys’s eyes widened and she bared her teeth into a snarl. “Yours…? How fucking dare y–” Dorys didn’t have the luxury to finish her sentence as Hildyrr lunged for her with swinging blades, and she could only escape them by an inch, a tuft of her thick neck fur getting cut instead. Dorys caught her arm, and yanked her away, sending Hildyrr crashing against a tree from which she immediately bounced back, cutting Dorys’s side with a swing of her other arm. Dorys yelped.

“You know I can hurt you even in your huge but pathetic animal form.” Hildyrr boasted, an animal shadow moving from behind her.

Bane appeared, amidst the ruins, landing on Dorys with all his weight.

Dorys collapsed. “Alva ! Earth Wardens ! Kill them all !!” She bellowed in panic. She fought, loosening whatever grip he had on her and spun, only to see Bane in his true demon form.

He was big, nothing human looking remained of him. His face was a tiger skull with horns, two fiery orbs where his eyes should have been. Fire and shadow forming a mane of sorts around his neck and torso, and running down his spine. His scaled tail ended in a pointy blade, his scaled legs ended with sharp talons, with oozing shadow from his paws. His body was covered in orange-red fur, and was ripped in places, displaying his ribcage, which had shadow into it, in place of organs.

Bane stepped towards Dorys. She could no longer tell whether he was snarling. He took a deep breath, busting his torso. “You will die for daring to upset my wife !” He said in a beyond-the-grave voice.

Hildyrr backed off from the scene, ready to return to her slaughtering routine, when Alva jumped from her perch, landing right in front of Hildyrr with a roar.

Hildyrr stumbled.

Dorys and Alva looked at each other, the same idea making its way into their minds.

Alva made a sign for the Earth Wardens to fight off and keep the demons away from the both of them while they were both busy with Hildyrr and Bane.

Dorys glowered back to Bane, as she snarled and bellowed back. “Bring it on !”

Then the two lunged at each other’s throat, in a storm of teeth and claws and magic. As well as Alva and Hildyrr lunged at each other, too.

 Bane caught Dorys first, and slammed her on the ground. She squirmed under his grip, kicking with her back legs, moving under his belly. When she was close enough, she gave a huge kick. Tearing through his flesh, both shadow and black blood oozing from the wound. Bane winced but didn’t release his grip.

Dorys was struggling to breathe, but she still managed to utter some words. “Don’t think you both aren’t mortal. You can be killed and I know how to !” Dorys gasped, as she grabbed around his neck, digging her claws into him, pulling him closer, making him lose his balance. Until she rose slightly straight, only to let herself fall back using some momentum and giving another kick from his torso down to his ribcage, catching some ribs, and propelling him into the air and over her head, making him fly above her and release his grip.

She got back up in a roar and lunged after him, hoping to push him where the Earth Wardens could see him. But, he too, jumped, and with his paw, created a ring of shadows. He pushed Dorys to the limit of the circle, and her fur got burnt for the merest second.

She shifted back into her Wyldaeren form, trying to teleport outside of the circle, but it didn’t work, and Bane was coming after her. She raised her arm in the air, striking him with lightning. The circle faded at the same time, and she shifted back to her war form, running into plain view of the Earth Wardens.

Scene 3 : Carnage, Incoming

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : Squad And Hellhounds )
(Next : Follow The Trail )

Alethea approached where Dorys was still chained, removing the remaining shackles. “We’re lucky these chain enchantments are close to mesmer magic.”

Dorys stood up. Her knees were sore and she felt drained, and she bowed to Alethea, then slid her back against the wall to sit. ” Thank you for coming…” She said in a dragged voice.

Alethea nodded, “Good thing you still had a communication stone around your neck and our intelligence were doing as best as they could to follow you around. I told you we would keep an eye on you.” She winked.

“Nice,” Dorys gave a faltering smirk, “but what, now ? I fear it’s too late…They are gone onto my world, Wyrdaenia, and if we don’t stop them, they’ll destroy –“

“Don’t be so worried, you will get back there,” said Alethea, cutting Dorys’s speech, “after all, I am a mesmer…portals are my speciality.” She winked to Dorys, again, and faced the look through portal. She inspected it shortly and tilted her head. “Yeah, it should be easy…everybody step back, please. Where’s your teleporting stone ? The one you buried that needed to recharge ?” She asked.

“There.” Dorys took it out of her pocket and gave it to Alethea. “It’s only half charged, though…”

“Thank you.” Alethea winked at Dorys. “Doesn’t matter. It should do with my magic. I’m a master at portals.”

Dorys nodded and smiled, fidgeting excitedly.

Alethea concentrated, and sent a spell running through the look through portal, a rush of energy getting rejected shortly after. “This is it. Now if you step through it, you will get where you need to go.”

Dorys took Alethea’s hands in hers. “Thank you, thank you very much. I wish I could…”

“Just stop them.” Alethea said. “This will be enough to thank me, really. Oh, and drink this, before you go.” She searched through her pockets, getting a small vial out. She gave it to Dorys. The liquid was shining bright blue.

Dorys inspected it, perplexed.

“Drink it, this is an energizing potion. It’s the more powerful I have, you lack sleep, you are sore in some places too. It will dissipate all tiredness, heal wounds, and give you a lot of energy, so you can face what awaits you.”

Dorys shrugged. After all, Alethea was good and trustworthy. As for herself, she deserved to feel better to fight those demons. She drank, the energy rushing through her, healing her. She bowed to the squad, and to Alethea again. She stepped through the portal, and the familiar sensation of teleporting took over.

She landed abruptly on the forest’s ground. She looked around, inhaling. The smells and sounds were familiar, at last. All she would have to do now is find the right smells and sounds leading to the village the demons intended to attack. It didn’t take long for her to isolate these, even if they were faint. She spun, and lunged forward, transforming into her war form, running for a short while, panicked as if she was going to lose the trail of smells. Time was playing against her, after all.

Then she remembered the communication stone should work anywhere, here. She concentrated and it lit up…”Alva ?! Are you there ?” She called.

For a moment, there was only silence, then, a familiar voice answered. “Dorys ?! Is that you ?”

“Yes, but no time to talk !” Dorys was out of breath, some panic in her tone. “And you were right…! That necromancer, Hildyrr, became a demon.”

“Really ?” Alva said, mildly surprised. She pricked her ears as she heard growls from a distance. “Wait, we have some visitors…”

“Alva, please listen !” Dorys demanded. “They are coming for us ! The demons, Hildyrr and Bane,” she rushed through, “have been planning an attack on this village, and more places, weeks ago. Prepare your troops !”

There was an explosion in the distance and shrieks of panic.

“Alva !” Dorys called again. “Be careful with Hildyrr ! She’s dangerous !” She resumed her dashing run. “I’m on my way !”

Alva did not answer, but Dorys knew she could always count on her.

Ch5_Sc2_Squad And Hellhounds

Posted on by

Chapter Five : Demon Hunter

Scene 2 : Squad And Hellhounds

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : Shackled )
(Next : Carnage, Incoming )

Shakarri ordered her hounds to attack, and they lunged towards the rescuers, in a cacophony of howls and growls.

Dorys was chained to a side in the room, and the door was obscuring her view. She could only hear and catch some glimpses of the fight.

Shakarri was staying behind the hounds, casting some spells.

Dorys yanked on her chains, but they were solidly attached. She screamed for help again, then saw one of the hounds being knocked back, as a fighter perked in her direction, lunging sword first towards the hound, killing it. She saw two other hounds successively lunging and getting knocked back, each time fiercer…when she felt something was fiddling with the chain around one of her wrist. She gave a look to Shakarri, but the succubus was too busy with her spells. So Dorys looked back to the chain that was on the verge of freeing her wrist. She peered beyond it and guessed the silhouette of an Azura in stealth.

“Hey, it’s me, Alethea.” she whispered.

Dorys smiled, “Alethea ! I didn’t think you’d find me !” she mumbled excitedly.

Then, Alethea’s transparent camouflage wore off. Shakarri spun.

“You ! Coming here to foil my plans ! Hellhounds ! Attack her !” She roared.

One of two remaining hellhounds jumped at Alethea. She stepped aside, leaving two cloned illusions in her wake, before disappearing again in the shadows, leaving the Hellhound to jump on one of the clones, pinning it down.

Shakarri enraged, and slided near Dorys, seizing her by the throat, oblivious to the chain that has been fiddled with.

“All of you, stop right here, or I will cut her throat !” She bellowed in fury, although the crack of panic in her voice betrayed her.

The whole squad seemed to stop and the time to slow when Shakarri raised her sword against Dorys’s throat, who growled. She wished she would have freed her hand…and then what ? Shakarri would have seized it, too. She could only wait, for now.

Several seconds passed, until only the fight of the Hellhound and clone could be heard. There was a muffled sound, and then nothing. Was this the end ? The cloned illusion shattered, and Alethea…gone ? More seconds passed. Then, there was a loud, bestial shriek. The Hellhound was dead, Dorys was certain of this.

Shakarri startled, releasing her grip on the sword and Dorys’s throat for a mere second.

Dorys took advantage of this and smacked Shakarri at the back of her head with her tail. It was surprising enough for her to let go of the sword. Dorys yanked once on the chain, releasing her wrist. She unsheathed her claws, planting them into Shakarri’s throat who screamed, letting out a curse. Shakarri grabbed Dorys’s hand, in an attempt to force Dorys’s claws away from her, worsening her blood loss.

But Dorys was holding on, and the two struggled, until Shakarri collapsed onto the ground, freeing her throat from Dorys’s grip. The squad rushed towards them, but Shakarri used what forces she had left to order the remaining hound to attack, keeping them at a distance. She seized her sword back, preparing to strike Dorys, and anybody else crossing her way.

Alethea reappeared in a pink smoke cloud, dazing Shakarri with a spell, making her stagger. Then she gestured for the squad to yield to the hound, as she mumbled something, confusing and corrupting the last hellhound’s mind…it spun and growled, rushing towards the still staggering succubus, tearing out her throat.

Ch5_Sc1_Shackled

Posted on by

Chapter Five : Demon Hunter

Scene 1 : Shackled

(First : Village Attack )
(Previous : Betrayal )
(Next : Squad And Hellhounds )

Hildyrr turned her head to face Dorys. “Do you hear that ? You will be all mine after that…!” She gave a predatory smile.

Dorys glowered at her and touched her, sending her thoughts. “I see you’re obeying your master…that’s good.”

Hildyrr growled.

“Here,” said Bane, “we have a gift for undisciplined mortals like you.” He rose from where the both of them were and snatched some chains and an iron collar. He grinned. “Do you like what you see ? These are magically enchanted. No more spells for you.” He grinned.

Hildyrr laughed. “That’s it, you little bitch ! You won’t be able to defend anything in your world !” She bent towards her, removing the shadow vines on Dorys’s mouth. “Here…you will be able to make all the comments you want…too bad I won’t see what a face you will make.” She chuckled.

Dorys growled. “Call me a bitch again, and I’ll show you what a real one is.”

Bane kneeled and geared Dorys with the chains and the collar, yanking her around, until she was kneeled too, had her arms in a cross-like position across the wall, her back against itl, too, the chains anchored in it tightly. She was kneeled, unable to move much, if at all…At least she could speak.

“If I ever get out of here, I swear I will both tear you apart.” She growled.

Hildyrr looked down on her. “Don’t be stupid.” Then, she smirked.

“Shakarri !” Bane bellowed.

A shadow portal opened, and Shakarri got out of it.

“Make sure she never escapes from here.” Then, he looked back at Dorys, smirking. “Oh, but don’t worry. You will be able to watch everything from there.” He waved his hand and the small portal moved in front of Dorys, forming shapes inside, like a mirror to another world. “Enjoy the carnage from where you are.”

She blinked when she recognized the village that was being reconstructed in the distance, families, children going about doing their daily routine. Her blood froze.

Hildyrr added “So…you’ll never escape, but if you wonder where I am…Follow the corpse trail on your nice little ‘screen’ ! haha !”

Dorys snapped out of her daze, screaming. “How dare you ?! You fucking pathetic little piece of shit !” She roared, but Hildyrr and Bane opened a shadow portal and were already waving her goodbye. “You should know that if I can’t save them, then I will avenge them !” She bellowed as they were disappearing, both grinning and snickering excitedly. Then, there was silence.

Shakarri approached her. “Too bad you can’t do anything about it, now.”

Dorys glowered at her. “You…you will be the next to die on my fucking list, I swear.”

“We’ll see.” She traced some complicated runes onto the ground, magical energy whirling around her, she concentrated and moments later, five hellhounds appeared by her side. “I liked Sverrir, and you killed him…so trust me that you’ll never get out of here alive, let alone in one piece.”

Dorys yanked on her chains, trying to cast a spell, but it didn’t work.

Shakarri laughed, jerking her head backwards. “Seriously ? Silly mortal, what were you expecting ?” She continued to grin, exposing her throat. She knew she was safe.

Dorys lowered her head and ears. The chains and collar were like those on Wyrdaenia. No spell would go through. Everything she had been trying to protect was going to be destroyed, and her efforts, vain. She felt desperate, stupid and useless. She was probably going to die in here, to top it all off. She wondered if she did well to insult them like that…but weren’t they about to destroy everything, anyway ? And kill her…And if she hadn’t, would she have found a way out ?

Then, there was a commotion in the distance. She heard demons screeches and shrieks, the sound of steel and swords, and magic. She got her head up, perking her ears. There were victory cries, and then a voice that she recognized.

“We’re heading this way ! Second unit ! Stay behind and clean that place. No prisoners !”

It was Alethea Lightbringer’s voice. Dorys waited for the footsteps to come closer and she screamed to signal her presence.

Shakarri snarled. “Shut up !” She hissed. “Or I will do you in !”

Dorys gave her back her look. “You would have liked it, right ? Too late…!” She smirked as the squad entered the room.
