Cash Shop: Ashen Memorial

An expression that barely changes. He's not cold, but he's not exactly warm either. Some say he used to be, that once there was a family, but that was long before he moved to the Darkside. People say he's with Vic now, that engineer from Ziara, but they haven't committed fully yet. Just idle gossip, of course, but why IS he holding back?

I heard there was a death in the family. Did he lose someone before? And what about his pets - all steamwork. He was given Captain as a child you know, I heard that he loved that archan! They were always smiling and playing. But when he got here, he'd changed from common colored to steamwork. You know some people turn their pets steamwork when they want them to be stronger, less…vulnerable. But Mathis' isn't somebody that's scared of things. He's so tough! Maybe he was just making his pets tougher?

Mathis: I am scared. I am terrified of losing the Captain, and Incinerator and…Vic. But I have had Captain for so long now, he grows weary, and what if I can't say goodbye when the time is here? What if I can. I thought I could handle this but it creeps upon me day by day and I find myself creating distance - help me. Help me fight my fear of losing them so I can love them in the moment. I don't want every passing day to feel just a day closer to the end. I know they will always be a part of me and I want to feel like I have given them all that I could give. It won't take the pain away when it comes but I will know that I gave the best of me to them, if only I could keep my heart open to them.

This nightmare is not what love is about.

Help Mathis face his fear by picking up the Ashen Memorial from the Cash Shop and defeating Captain's Ashes!

Holy shit! I actually welled up tears and thought how much I relate to that with my beautiful fur babies (RL ones guys, they are cats, pets on here are based on them), crap that's some awesome writing/story telling when you can evoke that sort of emotion bloody WELL DONE to the author(s)!

This makes me think of my beloved pets. I look at them and think: 4 kitties = 4 heartaches to come one day...

This makes me think of my dogs. They're 11 and 10 now. I'm trying not to dwell on this fact, or the changes slowly creeping up on them. I just want to make the most of our time together. They deserve that.

It's getting harder to remember all the little things you once took for granted... Just when you thought you were doing fine, it's reopened that old wound...

Beautiful artwork! Honestly would love to see something like that as a pet color. Like a ghost, only more ethereal and somber instead of nightmarish.

Ugh, I have thoughts like this sometimes too but usually I just push it out of my mind until I forget about it.

I'll just focus on how pretty the challenger art is ~
