Sandycroft Keep
July, 1270

It was dark outside when Aidan woke.

He’d been alerted by some sound outside, and at first, still half asleep, he lay totally still, waiting. But when it remained quiet, he relaxed again, gradually becoming aware of his surroundings—he lay on a bed, for the first time in weeks, and there was a torch burning in the wall, illuminating a small but well-furnished chamber. He was alone.

When he tried to move, a sharp, stinging pain in his chest made him lie back again, but he found that his wounds had been bandaged. He could hear voices outside, talking softly, but he couldn't understand wha

"Just a moment . . ."

Branwyn paused, looking back edgily. Aidan had stopped, leaning against the wall, his eyes closed. It was the third time he had done this, and she was just one more time short of screaming at him.

Aidan finally looked up again. “All right,” he said weakly. “Let’s go.”

In all fairness to him, she told herself, he was probably pushing himself to the limit. He’d spent

"Uncle?”

Raoul de Crèvecœur turned to Llywelyn, who came riding towards him. Like all the other men, the two of them were wearing only nondescript, dark clothes, with no armour or blinking metal on the outside, and no surcoats to identify them. From the shadows around them, he heard the sorts of sounds horses and men made when they were supposed to be utterly quiet. He knew they couldn’t be heard up in the camp—not even by those creatures—but the sooner he could give the signal to attack, the better.

“What is it?”

I'm on a roll! Lock away all pencils! Nothing is safe!

Or rather, please don't. This is so incredibly satisfying.

Yavanna, Giver of Fruits. Goddess of all things that grow. From J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

Pencil, white gouache on home-made pastel paper sketchbook. [link] Drawn in about an hour. Plus another twenty minutes for gouache-ing.

Some happy rambling on my blog. [link]

Really amazing! Nice profile of this character. It makes me thinking about the "simbolist" style of the 19th century.
Very beautiful!

I certainly have a big thing for symbolism. :) And the 19th century, art-wise. Thank you!

Gorgeous. I've worked with pencil and white charcoal before and really enjoy it, but I've never tried the pencil with gouache. Mostly because I hate gouache. Though I guess acrylic would probably work as well?
