Artist's Comments
Snow blew in from all directions, and the wind-scarred trees had long since been stripped of their bark. Winter Foxes ran through the eerily quiet forest as the blizzard howled onward. Two lone figures walked through the icy gale, wrapped in thick dark cloaks to ward off the stinging ice. The walked through the forest, to a seemingly small desecrated old cabin. The shorter one hurried forward to usher in the other.
The tallest walked in, and the room was surprisingly well kept. But this was not where they stopped. They went to the cellar, and opened a secret door. It led to a large room, with a few doors on alternating sides. The taller person shed the cloak and hung it on a coat rack by the door. It was a strikingly tall woman, appearing to be in her late thirties. She had snow white hair the went down her back mid-way and vivid red lips. Her skin was pale, but had a pink tint to it. But everything normal about her ceased as of there, for she had six arms, and four eyes of the most piercing grey color. Her counterpart followed her example, and he was not human at all. He looked like a great black serpent, with a horse's skull for a face. Long livid green hair grew from the top, though how seemed impossible. His eyes were not actually eyes, but glowing lights of blue that came from nowhere. He had two large forepaws, ending in dark pink claws. Two huge wispy wings grew from his shoulders, with deep grey feathers on the inside and a black coating outside. He slithered forward and nudged the taller woman. "Did you feed well sister? You look thin....." "I fared well, besides. Flesh has little nutrition for me, I prefer souls. I should soon feed as humans cannot keep from killing each other. And I am no thinner than I was a week ago." She dismissed her brother's worries with a sniff. "Make me something warm to drink!" He did so without a second glace, going for another room to make some tea. She followed him, setting down. Sighing she turned to him. "Pain do you enjoy it here?" He nodded. "It is nice and far from trouble." She knew what he meant by that. "Vengence you have to accept it's not healthy..." The taller woman sighed. Pain boiled the water and began adding herbs and spices. "Use honey, sugar make me sick." She looked at a glass hung on the wall. It was imbued with spell to show the outside weather that was above ground. Pain soon finished and poured the tea into a large cup, using a wire mesh strainer to filter out the herbs. "Here, drink up." She took a sip, disappointed to find it did nothing to dispell the chill from her body. "..............." After she had finished the drink, she stood. "Pain I am going to bed early, don't disturb me." She went to another room, much more spacious and decorated. The was a large bed with hanging draping over trees that were forced into the ground to serve as posts. The branches held the draperies up high and allowed only a restricted view. The strange woman slipped out of her clothes and into the covers. After a few minutes, she was sure her brother wasn't going to intrude. She scooted to the end of the bed and reached under it, digging around or a minute or so. She brought out a body sized doll, with white skin and long black hair. It had a blindfold and a cat's grin. A long curly purple body extended from under a ragged black poncho. She held the thing close and curled into a ball. After a few minutes she fell asleep. Yea so I was in a random mood again. [link] <<listen to Trapped in the Extreme North to really get into the story. Edit: Ok Just now I realized that the song is ironically named because she was, in fact, trapped in the extreme north, as Ishi sent her to Canada to keep her safe.....which was really sweet. Ishi earned back some points for that one. :3 Vengence and Pain are mine. the uh....doll belong to Vengence........and there for me. No stealies. |
