Description

"Pan slowly awoke, she floated in the blissful state between dreaming and awake, though she could sense her surroundings her dreams continued, it was a wonderful feeling.

But something was amiss, she was deathly cold, and the floor beneath her was hard and frozen. She tried to open her eyes, but her lids felt heavy, as if weights held them down. Blinking several times, she eventually shrugged off the desire to fall back into her dreaming world, and took in her surroundings. The world she lay in was dark, and empty. She had almost wandered through this realm once; the malevolent air rejecting her; to find herself here caused a sudden shiver to run down her spine.

A yellow light glowed above her, but it did little to illuminate the darkness around her. She pushed herself up upright, and then stood, still eying her strange and lonesome world. Weights on her back almost caused her to stumble, only her thick tail prevented her from toppling over. Twisting her form so she could see behind her, the sight of the pristine, beautiful wings shocked her to her core, her stomach dropped like a bowling ball. As easily as she might lift an arm, the wings drooped upwards and spread out on either side of her at her whim, a faint white glow following them.

As her dread grew, she spread her arms wide either side of her, looking down her arms and at her hands. Her fur had changed! The colour was horrible, her once wonderful blonde fur gone and replaced with the dull and lifeless grey. She looked down her body, a tiny moan of despair escaping her as her body fur matched that on her arms. The eerie glow matching that of her wings. She closed her eyes, her tiny heart hammering weakly against her chest, and slowly raised her head.

Above her, her golden and radiant halo thrummed with life, the only life she had left. It floated above her head, miserably out of reach.
"


This is Panicku, my Ghost Zafara. I cross-painted her from Christmas, so I could keep the wings and halo from it and have the ghost skin. I came up with this story as I drew her. I've actually had her for over a year but little inspiration caught me to actually draw her properly, or to come up with a design for her. I decided to keep it simple, and let her personality and story do all the unique-ing.

Anyway, Pan was once a witch who specialised in playing pranks on people while they slept. She would creep into their dreams and shock or scare them, laughing at their fear before sliding back out. However, she eventually crossed the wrong person, and her spirit was forced to remain in the Dream World. As time passed, her body withered and died, and all that is left is her spirit.

I'm not sure whether to upload this to Neopets or not, her story is a bit bleak and I prefer to keep them happy. What do you think?
