Eternal Darkness, Blood King by Gadriel Demartinos

The pearl is the representation of all the deceptive beauty of the world, and the girl is trying to grab it, not realizing that true beauty has always been within herself, all the time. She explained to me that the girl was the real her looking at the world through a mirror.

The painting is a portrait of a nine-year-old Lucy and her memories. The girl is wearing a silver necklace with a beautiful gray pearl pendant, it looks as though she is trying to grab it from the reflection she is seeing. The result after months of grieving and long hours of intense creativity was what she named The Southern Pearl, a portrait of a young girl posing in front of a wall mirror. I helped by removing every single mirror in her place, and for her part, she made the commitment to not pay attention to pretty much anything else except her canvas. It has not been easy, considering the fact that she gained at least twenty-five pounds due to her pregnancy and in this materialistic and shallow Miami society, that was a social kiss of death. I have helped her secure the date and time for her exhibition, and she has regained part of the confidence she lost after the breakup. She is now deep into her studies and looking forward to her graduation next May. I watched how she disconnected herself from what she used to know when she was with Stephen. She has been investing all her energy in things that will push her forward both in her career and in her life. In these last months, she had been busier than ever. No more sneaking in, taking care not to let Lucy see me. Whatever is going on with me is not random something or someone is trying to grab my attention, but the motive remains hidden to me.īut all is better now that I'm staying in the old apartment. The old man will get back at me with his theories, no doubt. I had my moment with the vigilante, and seeing Frank again was not pleasant.

The events that took place that night have kept me thinking. I knew I was going to be late but for some strange reason, that didn't bother me at all. Log In Bottom Eternal Darkness, Blood KingĬhapter 6 Copyright© 2015 by Gadriel Demartinos
