Word failed as the boy... «Nevernight»
RamingoWS27 мая 2018Word failed as the boy looked toward the room`s heart. Mia followed his gaze, saw the statue of a woman, jewels hung like stars on her ebony robe. The figure was colossal, towering forty feet above their heads, carved of gleaming black stone. Small iron rings were embedded in the rock, about head height. In her hands she held a scale and a masive wicked sword, broad as treetrunks, sharp as obsidian. Her face was beautiful. Terrible and cold. Mia felt a chill trickle down her spine, the statue`s eyes following as she walked closer. "Welcome to the Hall of Eulogies," Mouser said. "Who is she?" "The Mother." Mouser touched his eyes, then his lips, then his chest. "The Maw. Our Lady of Blessed Murder. Almighty Niah." "But... she`s beautiful," Mia breathed. "In the pictures I`ve seen, she`s a monstrosity." "The Light is full of lies, Acolyte. The Suns serve only to blind us."
