**********************************************************

Drea waits until the statues have slid far enough apart for her to pass between them, then touches her left hand to the statue's surface on that side and moves carefully forward. The ornate double door shivers with the groan of heavy wood and squeal of metal, then a split breaks its mirrored halves apart. Drea pauses again to let the doors part fully, the glow from the armory beyond now falling across the two hulking statues that dwarf her on each side.

"Elina Villios said those things are real," Commander Tarkin mutters, warily eyeing Drea's progress through the intimidating statues. "Well, not the statues themselves, but that the creatures they resemble actually exist."

At his side, the Master Scribe tips his head wryly, gazing sideways at the other. "Oh, I assure you, Commander, they do indeed exist. And the likeness of the sculpting here is accurate and eloquent, save for in the matter of... scale."

"'Scale'?" Tarkin frowns. "How big are the real ones?"

Theonius' response is only a grin, his old eyes returning to the golden gaze of the two statues and then slowly sliding up the wall behind them, rising several times higher than the sculptures' height. Alarmed and incredulous, the Captain of the Guard joins Drea's two attendants in silence as the Magistrate passes beyond the open doorway into her personal armory.

**********************************************************

Again, the statues of the magnatheria were drawn with a reference provided by my good friend, Mai Hima J'Naishun, to whom I owe a great deal. ;)

Enjoy!

Note: Twisted Plot and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones this kind of treatment toward any woman or man, by living person, gremlin, plant, assassin, ratman, viscous fluid, programmed device, animated home furnishings, or otherworldly spiritual beings. Furthermore, the artist opposes the marginalizing and restriction of women in general by any institution, political and/or religious, including those which have individual women amongst their membership touting/promoting their own happiness within that institution as evidence that ALL women should feel the same way. This includes the religion I was raised in and which I have utterly discarded from my life over this and other issues.
