"He watched the smoke arise and swirl about the ceiling, some of it escaping through the light well illuminating the chamber's center. It was then Jan realized that he had entered the room, skirting the sun curtain as if by instinct, staying in shadow. He stood now only a few paces away from the firebowl, and felt the last of whatever influence had brought him there dissolve. He was himself again, fully aware. And then a cold, sliding voice behind him said:
"When you have had done admiring my fire, little dark thing, turn around, that I may look you in the eye."
- Birth of the Firebringer, Chapter 15


Finally, I've come back to my Firebringer Illustration series. This one, I have to say, isn't really my best work, but I tried. I had a lot of new elements to deal with and not a lot of time to work with them.
This has been one of my favorite parts from the first book. Just the thought of seeing the Wyvern Queen kind of morphing out of the dark corner of the cavern sent chills down my spine when I read the above passage. So I decided to take the challenge and try to bring that scene to life.

Ugh.. I just read through that book earlier this week.. The whole time he was being charmed by her I literally wanted to scream!! I knew the trap she was setting and.. agh.. It was torture.. The longer he stood there, the longer it took, the more I wanted to jump in and shove him out of there. @__@ It was crazy..

I just finished the third book of the series a few minutes ago.

I've had the second book for maybe a couple of years, but I've now gotten the first and third..
It was amazing *3*
I was so lost in the third book today I almost missed my stop on the train. lol

Oh, I actually started reading the "Firebringer" novel with the deer. It was very interesting. I didn't get to finish it though, I think it was the pace of the book and I wasn't into it at the time, but the storyline was interesting. It was like Bambi and Watership Down put together.
