"Guillermo clenched his hand and realized he was gripping another dagger. He wedged it between his thigh and the snake, cutting clean through it in one swift stroke. Guillermo pushed the lid open and crawled out of the sarcophagus. He stood in a stone tomb that he didn’t recognize. It was clearly very old, lit by an eerie pale glow, and the sarcophagus that he was entombed in was covered in ancient looking carvings of horses and soldiers in battle. The air was cold, dry, and stale. Dust clung to his socks. It was completely silent."

"Nandor materialized from the shadows of the crypt wearing gold plate armor over chainmail. Guillermo was only wearing black boxer briefs and a clean white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up past his elbows. Nandor caught his gaze, his expression completely humorless."

Hell's Heart holds a special place in my heart, and since it was mentioned in your prompts, I knew it would give me the perfect excuse to illustrate part of my favourite chapter. The way you write ether scenes is so incredibly detailed and visually stunning! Sorry for the long wait, I hope you enjoy this!
