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

“In that case,” Avora sighs, pacing carefully on the damp earth beneath her boots, “it may best serve to simply wall this place off permanently—bring that arch crashing down and warding it against trespassers altogeth-…” She breaks off as the ground beneath her feet shifts like a blanket over some massive, restless serpent. To her left a great, bubbling hiss of air and liquid splits the garden’s stillness, followed by another almost beneath her right boot.

“Time to move,” the wizardess says, unnerved and taking a quick leap forward toward the near stone path, but the ground yields alarmingly and she stumbles in place. To the sound of more bubbling, the settling earth suddenly erupts in a sprouting of dark brown, fibrous roots that coil up mindlessly like writhing worms as thick as spear hafts. Some even stretch about the toes of Avora’s boots, and when the ground shifts again, the wizardess finds herself tipping, the deadly wand slipping from her grasp as she flails her arms to find balance.

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

Here's a detail some might find of interest. In re-envisioning this sequence, I changed the design of a couple of key elements. First to show up here are the many trees that actually pose the initial threat to our intrepid wizardess. More detail on them will follow as the sequence progresses. The Sleeper's Bane plants remain pretty much as they were, but the Tendrilinguis plant has a more defined and simple structure that will become apparent in another few pages.

As ever, Avora was drawn using the wonderful reference material provided for me by Viator-Defessus and the model "Ava." Thanks, guys!

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.
