The Tear of Love - Part 4 (Patreon)

(You can see the previous posters here or in my art galleries.)

On their way to the location of the Tear of Love, the trio goes through some dangerous paths, facing some natural hazards and ferocious beasts along the way, like in here where they're confronted with 3 lizard-esque creatures blocking their path, and wanting nothing but have them as their next meal. 

It's up to Drigo and Skurvy to deal with them, while Klump prefers to stay away from the danger, hiding behing a tree next to them, which surprises the small warrior.

After the creatures retreat, Drigo questions him why he hasn't helped them defeat them, and he says that he's never been in such an adventure before, away from safety in a remote island where all sorts of dangers lurk around the corner.

The warrior says he understands his situation but that he needs to overcome his fears and get out of his comfort zone if he wants to at least survive the trip, and that he once was like him. However he learned to adapt and survive in the wilderness, eventually reaching the location of the Tear of Love, who found him worth of being granted some of his powers and became its guardian. He then says to Klump to pay close attention to him so he can learn to be as strong as he is, and if he wants he can even train him. The Kremling is grateful for his help, and is willing to become equally courageous as the tribal warrior is, who likes from his attitude, and says that the first step to have courage is to assume and accept your fears.

With this words in mind, Klump follows Drigo and his brother Skurvy into the periculous path to the Tear of Love...
