I have a new job now! I decided to give up my old life and train in the magical art of... Blood magic. Not for the squeamish! You see, I met a wonderful person by the name of Bellatrix, and by "person" I mean "vulture demon"... Well, hey, at least she wanted to take me on as her apprentice!

And so I work around the place, gathering ingredients, cleaning, giving her foot massages (she loves those), the lot. Except... I never said I was good at this whole apprentice thing. Sometimes I make mistakes! Like, say, dropping the most expensive reagent in the house... Boy, she looks mad. I have a feeling I'm about to meet a terrible fate. Torn into little bloody chunks and eaten, maybe? Or fed to her familiar? Or who knows what...

This is a piece from MagnusGear, featuring my lovely tutor in the magical arts, wicked_vulture! I do love being in some peril, you know. And the detail on this piece! Danny did an amazing job here with that detail.
