Chapter 4: Page 12
Kenosh may have dissociated himself momentarily from his past deeds, but Bevan (and we) certainly haven’t forgotten why the canid are really chasing them. Sure, if they’d only slipped through Deltrada and embarrassed the canid troops that would no doubt bring the patrols down on them. But murdering a canid general along with a litany of rank-and-file soldiers?
Yeeeah they’re going to hunt you down with everything they have.
If only somebody had mentioned that to Hardin two chapters ago, maybe–
… Oh.
Sorry, Kenosh. Looks like maybe you missed the memo. But he’s a smart guy, he probably had the whole thing planned out in his head and was fully aware of the wide-ranging ramifications of what he was getting into–
… Oh.
ANYWAY, let’s share some guest art, hm?
This wonderful piece of guest art was drawn by reader Gotter6, who was inspired by the early 2015 JRPG Tales of Zestiria, one of the many expansive titles in Bandai Namco’s long-running Tales series. Check it out!
I personally haven’t played Zestiria, but I do know that Quinlan and Dakkan here are portraying the title’s protagonists, Sorey and Mikleo–who, like Quinlan and Dakkan, are childhood friends who wind up going on a grand adventure together. If you’re not sure how accurate Gotter6 was able to get to the source material, allow me to pull up a reference image (the cover of the manga adaptation)
That looks pretty spot on to me! Right down to Mikleo/Dakkan’s six side buckles (what is it with JRPGs and the buckles?)
Thank you SO MUCH Gotter6! It’s super cool seeing Quin and Dak “cosplaying” as different characters in different IP’s :)

Sad Kenosh is just so sad!
It hurts so much. Sad old otter, this face is breaking my heart. I hope bevan will cheer him up
Me too. If anyone can cheer him up it’s Bevan. Also it’s neat that Kenosh is willing to take advice from Bevan, and he talks to the other ermehn besides Hardin. Can’t wait to catch up with the rest of the band!
Well, Bevan’s the expert in this situation despite his younger age. Kenosh is grumpy, but not prideful.
Yeesh at the actual use of “backstabbed”. You didn’t have to be THAT literal, Bevan, c’mon man. lol
Really I see no other way it could be, if the canid did not hunt them already they certainly will now
Thank you for featuring me! I really love bwd and when I saw that Mikleo had water powers, I thought that Dakkan would have been a perfect fit for cosplaying him and since the characters from bwd have the same dynamic as the ones in Zestiria, I couldn’t resist throwing in Quinlan as Sorey :D It’s been ages since I’ve drawn that duo, maybe I should give them another spin at cosplaying some other characters… also Poor Kenosh, he didn’t think that backstabbing a canid general could backfire on the whole plan ^^’
