《Frankenstein (of a sort): There Will Be Musical Parts》Chapter 7:The curse of the Dorian Gray picture
Advertisement
" tell us a story!” Mary and rosemary demanded their friend Ruby was 2 years older than them
" okay fine this is what I like to call the curse of the Dorian Gray picture
It was perfection
It captured every feature perfectly, from eyes the color of the sky, to the sun-kissed wheat hair crowning the head, every brushstroke was flawless...the shining gold frame around it all only gave it more beauty, if that was even possible! It called out to be touched, to be admired!
And it was all his! No one but him deserved to gaze upon its magnificence...
The one who painted it even said the frame was made from an ancient Egyptian ...what were those things called? Sar...so....coffin! A pharaoh’s coffin! Fitting that a king’s resting place now housed his likeness...
The more he stared, the more his almost lust towards the image faded and twisted into.., jealousy...
This painting would be forever perfect
His hands and face would grow slack, gain wrinkles
His eyes would fade
His hair turn grey
If only this cursed painting could take on it all for him! If only he could remain beautiful forever! Be immortal!
“I would give anything to have you take on all of age and ruin!” Dorian shouted at the painting, grabbing the frame in his hands feeling almost like energy pulsed from it at the touch, like it was alive and reacting “Make it to where death would never come!”
Lifeless blue eyes just stared back at him, a serene smile upon the painted face, almost seeming to mock him with it’s ageless beauty that would never change even after a thousand years....
He now started to feel hate for it...” Ruby looked up from the book that was resting in her lap she started giggling

“Rumor has it the painting is cursed, anyone who touches it with bare hands dies horrifically” Ruby said again before the three girls started giggling they are too old to believe in curses and Magic.Even though they were little bit superstitious.
“Funnily enough we can purchase that painting on Amazon!” Rosemary said taking out her computer, and showing it to the girls
the description was: picture of an 18th century gentleman this man was painted by one man named Basil Hallward not the straightest crayon in the Box
it is selling really cheaply only $9.99 so $10 altogether they had a lot of money they purchased it and it showed up the next day in a box
" thank you, we just really like paintings and we're hoping that when we have company tomorrow for a party mr. gray over here will be a perfect conversation starter!" the girl said paying the gentleman but the gentleman gave them one final warning
" be careful girls. Hopefully that thing is just a rumor but you may accidentally cut yourself on some glass just stay safe girls" they assured him they put on some gloves because why not, and then they hang up the painting and my goodness, was beautiful everything the book depicted it was so beautiful and fragile
" now this is coming from a lesbians mouth but dang mr. Grey, you are a handsome man you remind me a lot of my father he was kind generous and he looked just like you until he went missing and his body turned up a couple days ago." Mary said with a crying tone, when all of a sudden she thought she heard voices coming from the painting .
" human, do not weep surely your father lives also I prefer you call me Dorian instead of just mr. Grey" the painting said all three of the girls turned around with a gasp

" D-devil!" Mary whispered
" spirit" Rosemary whispered snuggling up to marry
" Prince of Darkness!" Ruby whispered at the painting they were thinking about what could have possessed in the painting
" the name is Dorian if my soul was not trapped in this painting I would punch all of you!" Dorian said the girls shot down eagerly getting closer to the painting they had taken off their gloves by that point and rosemary was reaching out to touch the frame
"NO! DONT!" Dorian screeched making Rosemary Flinch away from the painting.
" sorry, I don't want you guys dying horrificly like the others who forgot to heed the warning I am extremely sorry." Dorian said trying to get himself out of the painting the girls knew what to do now.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
