Nashira is looking around in horror, as deep within a temple there is water pouring out from the ceiling from an unknown trigger as it runs off the surrounding statues. The door closing behind her but the path to it is already flooded, as Nashira wonders what to do now?
Arura (my original character) laying on a beach looking up at the sky as the shading of a nearby tree barely covers her on a bright sunny summer day.
Kitami (my original character) deep underwater and using her healing magic to show off. Her red tail curled behind her as the light from the sun from the surface shining down on her.

This is Cologne!

Open square in front of very large, very old cathedral. Gray, rainy skies
Reddish brick castle tower structure off to the side, on a rainy, cloudy day in Germany
Another view of that same old, large cathedral from my hotel.
A large statue in the courtyard in Germany. There's a large statue of a man on a horse. Under this statue are several copper statues of various men

Itโ€™s October, which means I have an excuse for showing you my -wandering-around-cemeteries-taking-photographs-of-statues- photos. (better title coming soon. Really.)

Photograph of a statue in a cemetery. Close up of the face. The face is of a child, a girl, an angel. She is looking down in reverence or mourning. There is dramatic lighting so half the face is in shadow. โ€œlike a Joy Division album.โ€
