There wasn't a lot of blood so does this need a blood warning??? idk tell me if you think it does.

I've been working on this for a really long time??? You have no idea. There also ended up being close to 100 layers in this idk. Also those mountains took like an hour and a half.

Story time? Sure why not.

Here we have Asmodeus, who was in love with the black and white wolf, named Alana. In the past, Asmodeus never had many friends, and his only friend for the longest time was a dark entity named Zorn (who we see here). And, until he met Alana, Asmodeus was never aware of Zorn's truly dark intentions. He liked the spirit because he talked to him and didn't necessarily judge him and all that. But when he met Alana, he realised what a true friend was supposed to be like. So they grew closer, and eventually became a thing, and Asmodeus didn't talk to Zorn nearly as much any more. Zorn, enraged over this, formulated a plan.

After a while, Alana admitted that she thought the two of them would be better off as friends, and though Asmodeus was kind of crushed by this, he was okay with it, and they remained good friends. But when Alana met another wolf whom she started falling in love with, Zorn immediately jumped at the opportunity and began taunting Asmodeus, telling him about how happy they looked together, and that she and Asmodeus never looked that happy. Asmodeus was torn by this. He often spoke to Zorn about how unfair it was, how he wished there was something he could do about it, because he hated seeing her so joyful with someone else.

So one day, Asmodeus and Alana went for a walk together, as friends. Alana had suggested that they watch the Northern Lights together, and Asmodeus thought this sounded like fun. He tried to push what Zorn had told him to the back of his mind. Without him knowing, though, Zorn had followed them, still incredibly bitter over the fact that Asmodeus hardly paid him any mind these days. Long story short, he possessed Asmodeus, forcing him to, well, kill Alana (which is depicted in the upper right of this drawing). When Asmodeus came to, he saw what he did, and was devastated. "Isn't this what you wanted?" Zorn had asked, to which Asmodeus replied that she didn't deserve this.

Asmodeus was quite pissed off at the entity for making him do this, and shortly after, he blew Zorn off, telling the spirit that he didn't need him, that he wasn't a true friend. So Zorn, bitter and hateful, physically disappeared, though he still appears to Asmodeus sometimes. In his reflection, in his dreams, sometimes even filling the wolf's mind with his voice.

Have I ever mentioned how bad I am at explaining things?
