"Right! Let's have ourselves a snooze so we're right as rain in the morning!". "I should think they are the perpetrators behind the drawbridge debacle! Let's make haste, find the switch, and switch it back!". "What makes me say that? I've a sea lion's nose for scoundrels, old boy!". "Well, regardless of who it may be, the scoundrel is surely on this very train! Let's roust this swine before he or she has the chance to cause mischief!". "Rather odd threat, eh? You don't think that Beldam crone's responsible, do you?". "Harumph! The Excess Express! Rather posh, I must say! Yes, rather posh, indeed! The three days to Poshley Heights ought to pass in an eyeblink, eh, old boy?". "Mario! That bodes ill! I suggest we reach Poshley Heights before that crone! Look alive, man! We are off to Rogueport Station!". "Jolly good show! We'll reach Poshley Heights in time for tea, eh? Finding that sixth Crystal Star shouldn't be more taxing than a vacation, eh wot?". I suppose there's nothing for it, eh, old boy? If we must, we must. "Pardon me for saying so, but mustn't you have wealth or fame to ride that train?". "Harumph! Sounds positively scintillating, dear boy. "Wait a tick! I've heard tell that only the rich and famous call thatplace home.". "Great Goobery! Your princess is no one to be trifled with! We'd best get to work, too!". "On your toes, old bean! That can only be an e-mail from Princess Peach!". "By Chowderton's cheeks! That dreadful voice again. Well, I say, that curse chap seems rather a bit of all right, eh?" "There you have it, Flavio! Fair and square, eh wot?". "Flavio, you old cash-grubber! If you want the treasure, why don't you go get it yourself?". "Call it an old sea bomb's intuition, but that skull rock smells.suspicious.". "We've done it, old boy! I should say he won't be too keen on seeing us again, eh?". "I'm sure my sea legs and explosive personality will be rather useful, eh?". "HUP! HUP! WOT WOT?!? Yobbity yobbity.PIRATES! Where are those pirates?!?". "Just leave it to me, eh? I'll keep these gouls busy while you get out of here! Flee! That's an order! Let me do what I must do! NOW, AWAY WITH YOU!". "You came just in the nick of time! Get these two out of here this instant!". "By Blubbery's blotches! Is that Mario over there? You're alive, old boy!". "Oh, by Blabberton's beard! Not you again!". "Awfully sorry, dear boy, but when I say "no", what I mean is.NO!". Tell me, what would you want with me if I were this chump?" 
This picture appears on page 82 of my Black Book. Tuanu and the Arkengal and associated prose is © myself.
Original is prismacolor pencils on 9"x12" illustration paper. She's the one who dares to wake a dragon. The Arkengal is also know as Archiengle, the demon-dragon, who is to the Gods of Uria as Puck is to Oberon and Titania. Now for the characters, for those of you familiar with my gallery, you will probably remember Tuanu, but if you aren't you can find out about her here. Hopefully you won't have a strange, demon-drake thingy beating on your head all day. "Get up! Get up! It's Dragon Day! That means you have to get up! Your Arkengal demands it!" "Oh no." she said, letting out a grown like a roll of thunder.
"Don't you know what today is? Don'ta ya? Don't ya?"Ī vague memory began trickling through Tuanu's brain, a memory of the last time she had been woken by the Arkengal. "Stop being such a lump!" A sharp hissing voice replied from somewhere over Tuanu's right eye.
YOU DARE WAKE THE DRAGON CRACKED
The thumping had started early that morning, and continued, consistantly, until noon, when Tuanu cracked an eye open and growled, "Who dares wake the Dragon?"
