Before the High Priestess

Illustration accompanying a fantasy role-play story I co-wrote with a number of others some while back. Against the backdrop of war against invading demonic forces, the young druidess Asterith of Aratan and Odo Paganus of the Knights of Esa develop a passionate and indestructible love. Their relationship is forbidden, contradicting their sacred vows and breaks the rules of both their Orders. They are in quite a bit of trouble... The original story (unfortunately long-neglected) may be read at

I have continued the adventures of Odo and Asterith in my visual story 'Expectant', and am presently putting together a sequel entitled 'The Blackguard'.
