High priestesses are meant to be mostly alone. The last one had taken such isolation too far, had separated herself from the king and queen, from the Immortal Palace, from her guardian.
It’s how the monsters found her. It’s how the monsters killed her.
And now, they’re coming for me.
The same, but different. The last high priestess had met a tragic end; Kagome is instead damned by the Divine for her mistake, a death deserved.
The monsters will take her. The Divine will let them.
I’m going to get you, her reflection proclaims, and it’s her but it’s not. The eyes are colder, darker. The hair is midnight black, a void compared to Kagome’s pure Divine-blue. This woman is her. It’s not her. This woman, this, this—
It’s finally @inu-spiration time! I finished this piece a long while ago, just in time for the artists sing up, and even if in the start I wasn’t sure I had the time to partecipate (bad schedule, BAD) I knew this drawing had a story in it just waiting to be found… And I’m so glad I decided to get into the big bang since @witchygirl99 saw so much more in this drawing than I could ever anticipate! Her story is the twisted fairy tale I had vaguely dreamt of while painting this, only it is fully fleshed in her perfect writing!
GO GO GO read it here, and wait for more art, since she totally inspired me just with the first chapter, and I’m sure I’ll have so much to paint for the next ones!
OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL. DOES EVERYONE SEE THIS ART?!
I was so blown away, I literally trembled at the thought of writing anything to keep up with this level of stunning. @kirrtash, I am so lucky to have been paired with you. You’re brilliant.
This story really is both of us - Kirrtash has the best ideas, please,I am blessed - and we hope you all enjoy it ✨
