A drawing of Mercymorn embracing a statue of Cristabel. Mercymorn has pink shoulder length hair that has the consistency of cotton candy, and tanned skin, and her stormy eyes look almost washed out in the lighting. The statue of Cristabel looks to be made of pale marble, and it looks stern and is drawn in profile from a slightly above angle, so that it looks like it's looming down on Mercy. Mercy has one hand curved around the statue's cheek, thumb caressing the stone lips, and her over hand is curved around the statues back. Mercy is wearing light-coloured robes, and her shimmering lyctor cloak over it that looks pure white in the lighting. Cristabel's statue has long straight hair and is wearing a long plain robe. Behind them as the background is an arched cathedral all in white stone that has a glass-like reflective quality, and there is an arched opening through which the light is pouring in. Around the drawing snakes a black ribbon, curling into the drawing three times, with writing on it in white. On the first curl is written "of the glass temple". On the second curl is written "the eighth for salvation no". On the third curl is written "the cost".ALT

the eighth for salvation, no matter the cost

had some unexpected feelings last night about mercymorn building the eighth house as a monument to cristabel, and then never visiting it again
