“Sometimes the demons you fear the most…
The ones that haunt you,
Gnaw, beat, and bind you,
The ones that tear, rip, and scar you,
Is your own.”
-Me

What started out as a simple sketch doodle seemed to turn into something a bit… more.

It’s Lee again. In his past, he had felt he committed a terrible crime. As punishment Lee tore out his right eye. To him, it was a way of reminding himself everyday that he needs to learn to tame his inner monster.

Lee is half tabby (Mom) and half wolf (Dad). Although his appearance kept that of a tabby cat, he received the ‘Berserker’ gene from his father…

Due to his childhood full of beatings and abandonment, he grew distant and cold. Only when he found happiness did his berserker genes activate… and slowly consume him. After he tore out his eye, he went to search for a way to contain his inner anger. The more he searched… the more he realized how hopeless it was.

But then he met Felix.

Felix gave Lee a necklace that would suppress the monster inside him—although not permanent, it will at least keep him sane so long as he has it on. As for Lee’s right eye, Felix (being really, really rich), had Lee undergo an eye surgery. The surgery was still new and really painful… but Lee was able to re-grow his right eye. However—it wasn’t his natural eye color, but his berserker eye color.

Now instead of covering his right eye because he doesn’t have one—he hides it because he is ashamed of himself. Little by little, Felix is helping Lee overcome this problem…

But severe pain awaits poor Lee in the future.



O: oh my, I got carried away, haha.

I know the picture kinda sucks, but that’s okay. I like it… *pets Lee.*
