Witch wearing roller skates glances back while fleeing a giant dark forest entity under a total solar eclipse
This surreal dark fantasy artwork depicts a young witch in an ornate gold-embroidered black robe and pointed hat, standing on peach retro roller skates as she looks over her shoulder. A towering gnarled forest god with glowing red eyes reaches toward her from the tree line, beneath a glowing total solar eclipse casting crimson light across the shadowy misty woodland path. The mood is eerie and playfully uncanny, with a rich palette of deep burgundy, inky black, and warm burnt orange highlights.

Escaping your fate is not easy. Sometimes you're so busy looking behind you, you don't notice where you're heading. Classic rookie mistake.

😃 It says: "Epialles. Greek God of Nightmares" (Now that you summoned me, don't banish me just yet - I have to visit a house with beautiful ladies. It's kind of lonely in the Astral Void, you know... 😉)

CaylaCatz

I think Belial might be more help ... thinks about it... hmmm.... but since @TheBard just knocked him over, he might be a tad grumpy and unhelpful

JMN

Haha stay as long as you wish, I'm sure Takkis will be along with @TheBard to find you sooner or later😂

panos

Ah! I;ll be in fine company, then!! 😃

<sigh> between a rock and a hard plece...

panos

...THAT's true! amd she soesn't have a Bard to come to the rescue 😀On the other hand... I could just TALK to that guy... we speak the same language, after all 😀

TheBard

Yeah well you know ... I was young ... and dirt and gravel are no reason to stop skating 😅 ... or rather, as it turned out, they actually are. 😁

CaylaCatz

Call Uber! they will deliver anything! Just give them a big tip if they're going to hell and back to pick up your delivery

TheBard

"Classic rookie mistake. " ... yeah, roller skates are also not the best choice for a forest path ... believe me, I have tried 😁

CaylaCatz

we do get more sense as we get older... however, you've graduated to broomsticks so good luck with that!
