**********************************************************
Then she sees them. Figures lurch closer in half crawl to stay low to the ground, concealed by mists of water vapor just thick and white enough to hide slow, fluid movement, enchanted to dampen the sound of footfalls and knocking bones in motion. They move in from front and behind, and right and left, numbering four and five, then more than half a dozen, and then more, all converging on Avora’s place at the side of the table.
Carefully, with practiced ease, Avora lets the sudden fear of her situation melt through her and down into her arm, to the hand that holds the Wand, and there it is met by a fire of desperate will that crackles from the weapon’s tip like distant claps of thunder. The faces of the horrid figures become visible, and the wizardess recognizes the bodies of a small mob, dead of age, fatal wounds, and a sorcerous draining to convert their half-living shells into preserved agents of a madman’s will. The figures bare grayed teeth, stretch clawed limbs, and raise rusting weapons toward her as they advance.
“A good move, Sorcerer,” Avora breathes in restored calm, a slight grin of anticipation curving her lips. “And now it’s my turn.”
Okay, this wraps up Avora's appearances in Twisted Plot Part 2. Before I get Part 3 complete and published, I need to push Web of Betrayal forward a LOT. Before I do that, however, I need to add in a little cameo that will set up a rather cool and supplementary publication to this whole project. Five more pages and TP Part 2 is in the bag...
As ever, Avora was drawn using the wonderful reference material provided for me by Viator-Defessus and the model "Ava." Also as ever, my thanks to these two contributors!
Enjoy!
Note: Twisted Plot and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones this kind of treatment 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.

Oooh, exciting (though I'm a little disappointed that I'll have to wait for part 3 to get to the *really* good stuff) - still excellent imagery and still loving Avora.

Yeah, I hear you. In planning out the expansions and publications for the next four chapters, it really was the only option. Thanks a bunch!

Ah yes, confidence. Because that always works out so well for the heroines in this story.

Yeah, it turns out that nothing works out well for them, I'm afraid. Not confidence, timidity, foolhardiness, discretion, greed, selflessness,... They all spell doom one way or another. Dammit.

DANCE, AVORA! DANCE! 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night;
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike;
You know it's thriller, thriller night;
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight!

They're out to ge-et you, The Demon's closin' in on every si-i-ide.
They will possess you, unless you... you... uh... Naw, forget it, they're just gonna possess you, so skip to Vincent Price.

Darkness falls across the land.
The midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood;
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood.
And whosoever shall be found;
Without the soul for getting down;
Must stand and face the hounds of hell;
And rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air;
The funk of forty thousand years;
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb;
Are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive;
Your body starts to shiver;
For no mere mortal can resist;
The evil of the thriller.
Can you dig it?!
"Now... where's my check?"

It's a marvellous combination, so much fun to watch the struggles of a usually badass woman turned into a helpless captive

So the whole capture sequence is going to be in part 3?

It IS Part 3. There's a Valerin snapshot at the beginning that I'll post the WIP for in another week, and then Avora's "ordeal" takes up the whole thing.
