___
The fiend raises his sword to strike down at the stricken knight, hanging from the edge of the narrow bridge. Little cascades of sand and rubble crumble from the slender formation of rock that links the two sides of the mighty, subterranean ravine, and tumble down and down through the empty blackness. The young woman can't bear to look.

I love this series so much,
The only thing about this picture is that she looks really close to him, like she could reach out and grab him.
She should stop being a wuss and help, GEEZ!

I'm really glad you like it. She's actually a bit beyond reach, but perhaps you should have slightly more faith in her...

Well, I know she's tormented and the past (eight or nine months?) has been literal hell,
But come on, she should go knock him off with her belly or somethin. hehe

I rather enjoy what looks like the human skull and longbone at the edge of the pic

Yes, the demons enjoyed the flesh more.

Now I'm quite torn here. Any knight who is all good guy like this one here seems to be has little to appeal to my darker side (do I have another one? ), and yet, instead of hoping that the Cave Demon strikes him down, I find myself more sympathetic toward the pregnant woman.

So, we'll wait and see...

I know, she's come so close to freedom, the poor lamb...

I'm a gemini, not that half of me believes in astrology, but the duality thing seems to ring true. Like Byron, I've often felt myself to be split down the middle spiritually speaking, my good side is very honourable and decent, my dark side is stygian, potentially wicked and depraved as hell. I am balanced inertly but precariously in the middle, due to the equal and opposite forces pulling from both sides. Sometimes I sway one way or the other. This noble knight comes, clearly, from my light side (and perhaps represents it, to come to think of it), but it remains to be seen which will ultimately gain the upper hand. He's certainly in a bit of a pickle, presently, as can be seen.

Well, I really hope your good side won! *laughs* Sometimes I think that if a fantasy world like this was real was real, I'd be a paladin too. Am I pathetic or what?

Pickles like this are the stuff heroics are made of, and such appears to be true, having glimpsed the next page of "Expectant." And "depraved as hell" has a nice ring to it, my friend. Any tickets still available on that train...?

What's not to love about a knight in shining armour? ... and like me, his g/f seems to be perpetually pregnant. Hmm.. is that a hint there as to who the mystery name is on your lady in the series??

dashinvaine In reply to Pandoras-Harbringer [2007-04-20 17:11:42 +0000 UTC]

She should have a name, shouldn't she? Although Asterith will be furious to hear this other woman referred to as Odo's g/f. There again this could be happening in a parallel universe to 'Haven'. As for the female's name, I thought about Krysta.
