Artist's Comments
Calmly, she walked into the room. Her red eyes shone in the dim light like a cat's, yet was filled with undescribable emotion. She brushed the sheer dark curtain away, nervously glanced into the darkness, and then took a seat in a high-back black stone chair.
Her clawed hands fidgeted restlessly as she glanced about. "Um... S-so, I'm in the right place, right? The note said to meet here..." She shook her head. "Yes..." A cool voice replied, as a man with blond hair dressed ornately in some sort of robe walked out of the shadow and took a slight bow. "Miss Mochi, I'm concerned about you." He said with faint amusement. Mochi blinked. "M-me? But that...You're the fortune teller?" She changed the subject. Calmly, the man nodded. "Yes. Call me Xi." His forest green eyes glittered darkly, his colorful tail splayed out behind him like a fan, covered with countless gleaming eyes who watched patiently, waiting. "Ah... Okay, Xi. So... Why am I here?" Mochi's gaze was drawn to the tail. Xi smiled, a sly smile. "As a fortune teller, I have an interest in fate, especially fates such as yours." He offered, playfully running a finger through her hair. She flinched, brushing his hand away. Xi straightened, suddenly serious. "You play an important role in the quickly approaching future... While it may seem like such a minor role, the way you play it will determine the result of the battle. But..." He turned and walked away some, then snapped his black-clawed fingers. A dark table was pushed into view from some unseen force, a round sphere placed in the center and held into place by some sort of metal base. Xi turned, placing his hands on the table. "There has been one future that seems nearly inevitable... Always looming so close, and repeatedly happening whether by one's hand or another." He explained. Mochi gave him a puzzled look. "Eh... Huh? I don't get it..." She replied. The man chuckled. "Look." He motioned slowly to the crystal, and its purple surface came to life, swirling with dark color and images. Mochi stared into it, her eyes becoming glazed and distant and body becoming limp. Images flashed across the screen... There were no words, no sound, yet the image was so intense... So real. A dark room, a dark cage, three large beings shrouded by shadow, then Mochi herself staring up at the beings. She confused gaze changed to one of pleading as she opened her mouth as if to beg, but a swift movement threw her down. She shakily rose, coughing blood, tears spilling from her eyes. Then there was another movement, and she was tossed into a hole in the ground, red water coming closer and closer... Mochi's still body jerked to life, and the image faded. She seemed horrified, then indignant, giving Xi an accusing glance. Xi chuckled, straightening himself. "Ah, should've warned you about the soultrap... Heh." He chuckled, dark eyes gleaming. "You wanted my soul, didn't you?!" Mochi accused, standing. "If I was to finish that, I'd be trapped, wouldn't I?! You cheating, slimy-" She began, but the noble demon cut her off. "Ah, and if I did, how would that change the outcome of the battle, do you think? There are some things better left unknown." Xi said calmly. "Best to take your soul AFTER the event." Puffing out her cheeks, her grey tail flicking angrily from side-to-side, she turned and stormed out. Xi merely smiled, watching her flee. "...Guilty." He admitted finally, shaking his head. Har, also introducing another character in that tidbit... Xixxi or Xi. He originally was going to be the prince of the Animalia kingdom, but I deemed fortunteller more interesting. Sorry if I have some grammar/spelling mistakes. I typed it up quickly just now, and didn't have time to go through spellcheck. Also, the picture is very mixed media... Mochi was done with colored pencils, and the rest of the image was digital, done in the Gimp. Lineart/ Mochi's ref: [link] |

Mostly, I'm just practicing with different gradients and things in the Gimp... It's better to add a quick background then leaving it without, right?

This piece is really creepy and well done. And the piece of writing is awesome! It makes me wonder what type of being Xi/Xixxi is... Maybe a peacock demon? (Colorful demon and all...)

Thank you! I wanted to write a good little piece to introduce Xixxi... He might play an important role later. Yus, actually. He's a peacock demon.
