The Awakening Elanor knew she had made a grave mistake as she uttered the last line from the passage in the book. That same book now lay heavy in her hand but it could not compare to the weight she felt in her heart as the air became thick and putrid. Animals retreated in eerie silence as an icy chill gnawed and scraped at her tired bones. Rancid air permeated her olfactory senses with the stench of mouldy damp earth and rotting decaying flesh. The acrid stench clawed at her nostrils, reached deep inside her gut and dragged nausea to her throat. Swallowing down the burning bile; she gasped, willing her frozen limbs to move. Elanor was trapped in a silent terror, helpless as her lost love staggered towards her on linguid lobes. Teetering on the edge of gravity, the spasm of his passage almost overwhelms her, a witness to the terrifying monster he has become. Rendered in Daz Studio 4.8 with 3Delight.
