Description "will you sleep unknowing, till the Great Stones are ready for your blood?" whispered Kerrigor, his breath still reeking of carrion. "or will you go waking, every step of the way?"
Sabriel stared back, meeting his gaze for the first time. Surely, there in the hellfire of his eyes, she could see the faintest spark o blazing white? She unclenched her left fist and felt the silver ring slip down her finger. Was it expanding?
"what woud you have, Abhorsen?" continued Kerrigor, his mouth peeling back, skin already breaking at the corners, the spirit withing corroding even this magically preserved flesh. "your lover crawls towards us- a pathetic sight--but i shall have the next kiss..."
The ring was hanging in Sabriel's hand, hidden behind her back. It had grown larger-- but she could still feel the metal expanding...
Kerrigor's blistered lips moved towards hers, and still the ring moved in her hand. His breath was overpowering, reeking of blood, but she had long gone betond throwing up. She turned her head aside at the last second, and felt, dry, corpse-like flesh slide across her cheek.
"A sisterly kiss," chuckled Kerrigor." A kiss for an uncle who has known you since birth-- or slightly before--but it is not enough..."

Just a bit of fan art, not happy with it, but i needed it off my computer! i just love Garth Nix and all his books

Characters belong to Garth Nix

FYI I did update this with a newer version, my good friend told me that the old Sabriel looked like a man, and Kerrigor looked like a girl.....yeah i had to rectify that situation lol

The Abhorsen series is one of my absolute favorites! I'm glad you like the way I portrayed the scene

It doesn't get enough love on dA, don't you think? /has blatantly never drawn any fanart for it (but only because i'd do it an injustice).

you're quite right, I almost never see any fan art, and it is a fantastic series! This drawing is very old, perhaps I'll work on making some more drawings for Garth Nix and his books. That should be some very interesting artwork! Maybe you should try doing something too the only injustice for an artist is to not attempt the idea in the first place! Just a thought though!

It's a good thought. I may do so. Right now I'm in a drawing dry spell (christmas knitting etc, I'm not even reading anything lately D8). It would be awesome to see more fanart from you

One of my favorite, and in my opinion, scarier parts of the book. Well done!

Love it! I think you really capture the design of her armor fantastically, I've seen others on here but your's comes closest to what I imagine it as.

thank you so much! I did a lot of research and there's still a lot of details that got left out. I'll be updating it a little bit later an re-posting a better version. But thank you for your comments
