For more information on the entire series, read the "'Demon's Due' Defined" journal entry here faile35.deviantart.com/journal… or the "'Demon's Due' Plus" journal entry here faile35.deviantart.com/journal… . Now that dA is forcing me to post thumbnails with the links, I'll probably have to rearrange these comments so they flow a little better...

***********************************************

Reaching the doorway, the Scholar pauses to evaluate her pursuer's progress. Though the corridor behind her is still bathed in darkness, the scrambling footsteps are undoubtedly closer. Even worse, Elina detects the hollow whirl and subtle rasping of a length of rope being thrown and dragged over the stone. "I should have immolated the little fiend when I had the chance," she breathes, the fear in her heart denying her a grip on any sense of outrage against the gremlin. Her Scholarly mind doubts that the creature would have had time to round up a magical rope and haul it back on her heels in the few minutes since it fled through the key's portal, but no part of her wishes to find out.

"Time to run," she says aloud, testing the strength of her legs and surging through the door.

As always, Elina was drawn using references provided by Emily at Feathered-pics . Thanks, Emily! The reference for this one was not posted, either.

Enjoy!

Note: Bookbinding and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones real mistreatment of this kind toward any woman or man, by living person, gremlin, plant, assassin, ratman, viscous fluid, programmed device, animated home furnishings, or otherworldly spiritual beings. Furthermore, the artist opposes the marginalizing and restriction of women in general by any institution, political and/or religious, including those which have individual women amongst their membership touting/promoting their own happiness within that institution as evidence that ALL women should feel the same way. This includes the religion I was raised in and which I have utterly discarded from my life over this and other issues.
