This is a crosspost of https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59860918/ and a visual representation of the poem https://inkbunny.net/s/3534920 where a younger version of Blast is talking to his grandfather about his homeland. Earlier art of this old bat was shared at https://inkbunny.net/s/3535649 & https://inkbunny.net/s/3536301 and I also have art made right before this one of both Spruce and a young Blast. Specifically https://inkbunny.net/s/3547705 is that piece. Someone misread what was going on with Spruce in this picture, but he is crying after his grandson asked him something. Those are tears falling from his face. I decided here to do the shading differently than some of my older sprites, having the head be darker when the bats are roosting upside-down.
