Oh, well... too bad. Now he's not getting this book back again. Hey, at least they're going to be rich!
There are many roads full of treasures waiting to be traveled...

I was determined to finish this no matter how long it took. This actually took a toll on my wrist and my eyes...
they're very sore from so much drawing, good heavens...
