Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend! I apologize for going on hiatus for the last two weeks…I won’t trouble you with specifics, but let’s just say that I was caught up in some family drama. But I am back and raring to go!!

Here is Joe’s character and dragon:

A repented demon spawn who has been alive to witness the rise and fall of every human civilization.
