Artist's Comments
when kerial's fiancee, the witch magrethe, was bewitched and slain in her own bed, he lost the will to love. when he found that his unborn child has been slain in her womb, he lost the ability to hope. when the great modern city in which he lived fell victim to plagues of biblical proportion, he lost the last drop of might that allowed him to live.
that was the day the devil chose to approach kerial and, in the voice of reason, make small talk about the state of his soul. the devil told kerial that there were two bridges from which he must choose, but that no matter his choice, each bridge bestrode the rivers and the roads of the damned. the first bridge would lead kerial to happiness, to blissful ignorance; he could take the draught of forgetfulness and live freely, aware of nothing from his past, the loves he had lost, the joys he had known, and begin anew. he would be cleansed of all his pain. "but know," advised the devil, "that if you take the bridge to happiness all that you ever knew, all that makes you who you are, will be stripped from you. you will live the life of a happy fool, and understand nothing." the second bridge, the devil explained, led to vengeance; he could take up the scythe and slake the agony within. "revenge," explained the devil, "is a sweet and addictive fruit. if you take the bridge to vengeance your hands will never again be clean, and you will understand and become bedfellows with all the evils of the world." "i have slept with evil already," replied kerial, "and found it no stranger at all. i choose the bridge that leads over the waters of damnation onto the path of vengeance, and i choose it with whatever heart i have left." the devil smiled and said, "very well, kerial. you will take up the scythe and become one of my scions, damned, alive, and preying upon the world you will come to mourn in a swath of red." and so it was. ____________ crow quill and india inks on 11x15 watercolour paper. some of the detail is lost to the digital photograph. here's a close-up scan of kerial and weapon and the upper right hand corner. |
