The next portrait depicted an image familiar to Ketil. The
morose Lord Morbid had ended his life in a strikingly innovative and horrific
fashion. The portrait was a stylized version of a medical examiner’s photo
which had been stolen and passed around following the sensational suicide.
The moment was re-enacted in the minds of the painting’s viewers. The tall, gaunt will-o-the-wisp carved an elder sign into his chest and slashed the blood vessels in his arms. He painted an inverted pentagram with strange sigils at each of the points on the stone floor of the chamber using his own blood. A terrible mania had overtaken the disturbed young man, allowing him to complete his gruesome task despite losing enough blood that he should have fainted long since.

ReplyDeleteLord MOrbid truly lives up to his name. I wonder what drove him to such a gruesome end, and how much this will affect your team of unusual friends.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Lord Morbid was a determined soul wasn't he? Sadly I fear that similar issues are still stolen and passed around.
ReplyDeleteThat does not sound like a good way to go.
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea, no offense, BUT the description was vivid and well done. Very much in the style of this story as I understand it so far.
ReplyDeleteJust the kind of portrait I'd love to have hanging in the dining room! Such gruesome fun!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a gruesome scene!
