It’s easy to see why Dex’s love has grown for this magical realm hidden high above the forest floor. That incredible touch of golden rays piercing the canopy above, meshing with the cool forest breeze that carries the forest’s natural aroma. He can’t help but take deep breaths that fill his lungs with the ever-present relaxing, almost hypnotic scent. For a moment during his meditative stay up here, possibly before or after a lengthy nap, he giggles to himself. Briefly wondering if this space could unseat the beach as his favorite place. Actually toying with the idea. But that giggle more of a “not quite” conclusion in his mind. There certainly was an unmatched charm that made this place special, but after another slow breath sampling the breeze, he knew he was much more in tune with the beach environs he practically calls home. Although he thought, there's nothing that says he can't profess his love for the treasures the forest shares with him.
He gives a quick glance at the spot next to him where a bird landed. Pecking at the sturdy branch before looking up at him. Dexter smiles softly, partially annoyed at himself for not bringing any seeds to give to the bird. But that thought washed away by a stronger gust of wind, causing the forest to give off a soft roar as the ocean of leaves danced and twisted on the rocking branches. Only lasting a moment, quickly settling down but enough to remind him so much of the sound waves created as they crashed ashore. “Ya know, maybe beaches and the forests aren’t all that different from each other." The bird gives Dexter a funny look, making Dex smile even more. "Oh come now, you haven't even seen the beach..." That instant the bird begins to chirp rather loudly with a bit more of an annoyed flavor. Dexter gently places his finger on the bird's head to give a soft stroking. Calming the bird that soon hopped onto his leg. "Then again, I suppose that's the beauty and thrill of meeting fellow adventurers. Never quite know the distances they've traveled or the vast array of lands experienced from just a passing glance." The two sat with each other for about a half-hour longer, in silence as the bird scanned the surroundings. All the while, Dexter allowed himself to flow with the forest ambiance in a state of peace, feeling almost as if he were a part of it. Ever thankful to Mother Nature for allowing him to embrace this experience. Dex knew he couldn't stay here forever, nor would the bird stay with him. Yet he felt a small twinge of sadness as another bird of a similar type landed near them. The bird he'd been sitting with hops up and leaps over to what Dexter presumed to be its mate. His ears fluttering, delighted at the little song the two sang to each other before stopping for a brief few seconds to look back at him. With a friendly wave, the two sing one last colorful chirp before flying off into the canopy together. Leaving a smiling Dex to stretch and give off a few yawns, ready to enjoy whatever the rest of the day had in store for him...

Thanks glad ya like! Artist has tons of fantastic illustrations in their gallery I highly recommend checking em out!
I see you've been relieving that itch for a good story for Dexy. :3 Man this really motivates me to continue mine. x3
THAT ITCH IS STRONG LEMME TELL YA! wanna write a super ambitious long and challenging one buuuut wish i had the time for it toooo ;; Motivate you say? Hows about I chase you, if a full grown lion chasing dont motivate ya idk what will x3
Mmmmm - a wonderful little story write up to frame the moment. Indeed, a gorgeous place to relax and re-centre. You certainly have an affinity to birds to.:) Very much love how that stretch splays those stunning, handsome toes of yours. <3 Not that the rest of you is ever hard to look at.
Bit of a way to get some of the creative side out as ive been wanting to write another full on story but cant quite do that rn sadly vv Oh yeah i love birbs, another reason i cant wait for spring so i can sit out in the back and watch them around the birb feeder again. Oh consider the paw movements an invite, bit of a climb but worth it!
Climbing is fun - even if a dragon-dog is not quite as good at it as a lion. Heh, yeah, watching birds is neat - I love doing that in the kayak in the marshes. When I paddle around Big Creek National wildlife sanctuary, it's crazy how many birds are there in the spring. People are not allowed into it - you can paddle next to it, but not in it, so the birds are joyous and plentiful in there. <3
Hmmmm…IDEA! Lion will hop down and place you on his shoulder then climb right back up :3 Also I bet that’s amazing combining kayaking with bird watching. Do they ever fly out to you even tho you can’t quite go into that area :o
*laughs* That works. ^_^
Oh yeah - they fly to the edge, perching on the tress or marsh grasses (if small birbs), so you can easily see them. Also, in other places I paddle into marsh areas and just quietly float in, so you see all sorts of them doing their thing. Even had a Bald Eagle swoop within a metre of me. Of all the wildlife you see while kayaking, birds are definitely the most abundant. What I really, really need to do is get a camera with a mega-zoom so that I can get better pics of them.

I am VERY glad to hear that you still have the passion for these stories! Hopefully time will fall on your side so you can have more time for these stories AND everything else you wanna do! ^^ I look forward to seeing what these big ideas are as time goes on! :D
Yup it never faded :) actually once I introduce a new character the potential for stories will be even greater so look out for that! Gonna be tricky with time but things will work themselves out. In the meantime need to really start posting this massive backlog of art @_@;;
Well I am absolutely looking forward to this new character AND all the stuff from the backlog of art you have! Super exciting stuff! :D
It really is :) especially in the clutter of todays fast paced world, it’s really nice to just escape into it for a while. Like a whole new beautiful realm!
I love the poetic way you describe these scenes when you commission pieces like this. It adds texture to the piece.
Thanks! I always appreciate the work artists put in so much I try to add a bit of extra depth to some of em when I can :) Really wish I Could make a full on story again but hopefully thats a possibility in the mid term future as I der want to :)
Such a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. Absolutely lovely writing and the design of Dex is magnificent. He can't left you indifferent for sure🙌😍
Thanks like to try to add something to give a bit more depth to the super amazing job these artists do :) Especailly scenes like this, places id love to go but cant quite so might as well let the lion explore em for me ^^
That sounds wonderful! Addition of writing that completes and complements those amazing arts is a big and hard work as well! Looking forward to seeing and reading more stories by Dex! :)
Hopefully i can get back into a good posting rhythm again, lots of unposted art but been so laggy on almost every front in life but shouldnt be much longer! Thanks for the kind words and hope you have a great weekend 💙💙💙
