The Writing on the Wall CH3"What did you say your name was?"

Of course, I hadn't said my name, but I wouldn't have been surprised to find the butler had. This was the sort of place where one was 'announced', after all. I bobbed another curtsey, a real one this time. "Athena Idony," I said, my voice once again rising treacherously high in pitch.

Grandmaster Trevino continued staring me down a moment longer, then turned on his heel the same way I had seen Demetrius do not so long ago. It was hard not to crack a smile. It helped to remember the position I'd landed in. "I see," was all he said.

It was not enough for me. I folded my arms over my chest, hoping it d

The Writing on the Wall CH2Demetrius gave me a look that would have scorched a salamander. "Why didn't you say something immediately?!" he snapped, a vein in his forehead twitching.

My excuse, though technically a reasonable one, was too embarrassing to divulge, so I decided to just go on lying. Just a little. In for a step, in for a marathon, maybe. "People see things when the Hollow Man comes for them." The best lies have some truth in them, after all. May as well start with that much. "I thought that I was only imagining you."

"For fifteen minutes?"

Was that how long we had been walking? No wonder I was so light-headed. The top of my head might as well h

The Writing on the Wall CH1Three raps at the door. Each of them was like the sharp, staccato footsteps of Old Lady Tessernack, her gnarled cane just outside the sinister rhythm. I held my breath, cheeks bulging, and shut my eyes tight.

Even with my back pressed firmly against the back wall, I couldn't get far enough away. Three more raps. Never more than three, never less. The cement was hard and cold through my back, but I didn't move. Didn't shift. For all I knew, he could smell me, or sense movement through the door.

An lives on a boat. This is one of the things he assumes makes him cool, and he's probably wrong about that too. He's the sprite/pixel artist. (yes, he's adopted)

The BG loses a bit when it's shrunk.

I used this [link] (by Camaryn-Wallpaper [link] ) and pixelized it, to reflect what he's meant to do.

It took me about five hours total to complete both Riley and An. He's my favorite.

I highly recommend clicking Download for the full-sized image.

...and on top of it all, I also like his tat...I'm gonna hafta do a character with a tat ("Why do you want a tatoo?" "Because Tally does 'em..."

)

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 21, 2008

His arm looked so bare without it, I had to give him a tat.

I've been reading a comic with a character covered in 'em, too.

Oh, awesome! I wonder what you'll come up with...

*Hagge Aug 24, 2008 Professional General Artist

Yeah, I'm suddenly on a mythology kick, and I was thinking Narcissus with a tat...gotta think of how I want to do it, though....

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 24, 2008

Ooh, that sounds perfect. Maybe vines or his own face...?
