The Troll Queen's Bride
I muttered, my gaze iron as I dissected the strange omen I had channeled onto the vellum, the canvas stretched taut over the wooden frame, with my horsehair paintbrush's lashes decorating it like black and brown stab wounds.
Thick strokes. Deep pigment. Gleaming eyes:
The Beast had emerged, as always.
"I cannot stop painting you, my dear, strange Beast," I murmured, tracing the brush strokes of her black as night fur, the shape of her muzzle – her sharp eggshell claws stained with blood.
My blood, thick midnight black clots like ruin as recognizable as my own fingers.
