[Exclusive]A Fleeting Happiness (part1)/转瞬即逝的幸福(part1)

Hello folks

This month I bring you the last pair of victims of the entire FE3H series. I know that there are still some other girls, including 2 more DLC girls who can be a topic, but this set has been going on for toooooo long, and they hardly have anything to do with the big picture, so perhaps I'll just do some single pages for them later on Pixiv as a final touch. It's about time to move on and pick some fresh fruit now and I am thinking of Persona 5.

大家好。本月为大家带来的是本次风花雪月系列的最后两个受害者。我知道这游戏里还有很多女角，包括两个很色的DLC女孩，但我实在觉得她们跟故事的主线“帝国入侵”没什么关系了。也许以后我会出一些单页涵盖剩下的几个角色，但这次风花雪月系列真的已经拖得太久太久了，是时候告别这个系列，转换一下口味了 -- 也许接下来可以考虑一下P5？

The last story begins with Catherine. She was a knight of Seiros and had strong faith in the church. She leads the rest of the knights to fight against the empire. Shamir fought together with her, but her reason to stay was not because of faith. If I remember correctly, Shamir was a mercenary and was not from this land. She could just take off by herself and be safe after. But Shamir stayed. Her true reason was because of her love for Catherine (YES I AM A SUPPORTER FOR SHAMIR/CATHERINE). She never truly spoke of her feelings. Catherine sensed it, but was always too busy to handle it. They remained friends and fought together until the day the imperial army finally defeated them.

总之最后这个故事是关于卡多莉奴和萨米亚的。卡多莉奴对教会忠心不二，誓死不降，率领教会骑士团的残兵们继续与帝国打游击战。萨米亚也一直陪在她身边，但却不是出于对教会的信仰，而是由于偷偷地对卡多莉奴的仰慕和爱意。（是的我就支持这两个配对）萨米亚从来没表露过自己的感情，但卡多莉奴也不是傻的，两人就在友情和爱情的边缘上互相扶持着并肩作战，直到终有一天帝国军将她们给击溃。

When at death's front door, nothing else seems to matter anymore. Shamir and Catherine confessed to each other the moment they were going to be executed, and they fell in love, only for a moment. Could this fleeting happiness help them endure the coming darkness?

当死亡近在眼前之时，其他的一切都不再重要。萨米亚和卡多莉奴被捕后迅速被判处了死刑。她们在生命的最后时刻互相表白倾诉，走到了一起。不知眼前这转瞬即逝的幸福，能否支持她们度过这最后最黑暗的难关呢？

==================================

For this finale, I've been planning for quite a while since I want a new idea. I had a brief imagination long ago, which is to let them be executed by their own weapons (my favorite death for female warriors), but it needs to be clever. I can easily just let some man swing Catherine's sword, or let Shamir be shot by many arrows, but none of those intrigued me.

作为本次超长系列的最后一幕，我考虑处刑方法其实已经考虑了很久了。最后一定要来个新鲜刺激的。想来想去，关于女性武者，我最喜欢的处刑方式还是“死于自己的兵刃”，但一定要换个不落俗套的玩法。否则我只消让个男的用卡多莉奴的剑砍她脑袋，再让萨米亚被乱箭射死就好。可是这还有什么意思呢

So eventually, after some sample sketches, I decided to let it become what you'll about to see: Shamir and Catherine will both be tortured correspondingly: the archer should lose her eyes and fingers, and the swordswoman should lose her arms. Also, both of them got amazing chests so those will be tortured as well. *(talking about amazing chest, I'm gonna draw something about Nightreign sooner or later) Then eventually, they will die together: a ballista shooting a giant arrow into Shamir's anus, and its force should drag Catherine's body through her terrible swift sword "Thunderbrand" and give her a sagttal slice.

因为我不擅长或者说不喜欢搞各种怪奇工具，经过几次草图乱设计之后，最终变成了各位看到的这个样子：萨米亚作为弓手，被剪断手指，挖去双眼；卡多莉奴作为剑士则是砍断手臂。然后两个女人都有大奶所以奶子也得要折腾一下（说到大奶，这次法环黑夜君临的女角我是迟早都要画一下的）。最终，一台巨弩将从萨米亚的屁眼射入，同时弓弦带动卡多莉奴的身体，让她被自己的宝剑从胯下垂直切成两半。我觉得这个设计很简单直接，但又不失新意，应该是很适合这次的题材的。

I like what I prepared here: a simple, understandable, and somehow still believable public execution. But I didn't expect that it took quite many attempts to pose the characters, crowds, machines, and the whole composition. I considered drawing the girls only and separately, and without the mobs, but somehow it feels wrong not to present the entire scene first. So, unfortunately, my schedule of this month could only bring us these pages. I will finish the rest of the drawing and writing properly next month, and try to bring a superb closure to this entire FE3H journey.

嗯……但说到底，这个画法我也是第一次尝试，所以包括角色动作、构图、场景和机械在内，都想象和尝试了几次才决定下来。本来我也有想过把两个女人分开画一画，也不要管什么围观的群众，应该能省事很多，但最终觉得大场面还是不能省的。所以很遗憾，本月的进度就只能画到这样为止，可以说精彩的部分全都在后半程。只能敬请各位期待了

Thanks again for your patience and support!

I hope you enjoy this month's content
