The First Commission Is Finished / Backstory · 3:43pm Aug 7th, 2021
Actually, this is the commission from my birthday. Meant to be a preview for the new season. Since the new season has already started, consider it a bit of a bonus. This piece was completed by Decora-Chan. While they aren't the best with time, they deliver fine work indeed. I have been wanting to show this one off for so long and here it is. This is one of the oldest ships I had hidden away. Back then I didn't have a story for them just an idea. An ideal of a man in love with an image only he could see. I know its a strange one, but its as real as Hollow Prince himself. Check it out down below.

Blood Diamond meant the living image known as Hollow Prince when he was but a child. The two were alone in the world and could only be seen by each other. Blood Diamond was a prince born defective and worthless to a royal family that desire power above all else. He needed to fight to survive. While his brother was idolized as the best of everything, Blood Diamond languished in the blood and sweat of warzones. He was utterly alone.
Hollow Prince has wondered the endless mindscape for more years then he could count. He had long forgotten his origins or his home. The only thing that stayed stark deep in his mind was the fact he could not be seen by anyone at all. For thousands of years he walked, just an image at the back of creation's mind. He was utterly alone.
They were both alone until somehow they found each other... Blood Diamond could somehow seeing the living image and Hollow Prince could somehow be heard by this lone pony. Hope filled both of them and a kinship was forged. This eventually led to love.
However, not everything was pure and bliss. The more Blood Diamond spent time with Hollow Prince, the more distrust was twisted around him. Many of his peers treated Blood Diamond as insane for talking to a being they believed couldn't exist. And so Blood Diamond embraced the hatred, seeing the world around him very differently over time. It changed him so much even his tone of voice shifted around others. Only saving his true self when he knew he was utter alone with the image.
