Spooktober 2023: Cryptic

Erse snaps her fingers. The lightning ceases.
"Riddles bore me, Machella," she warns, annoyed at the CRYPTIC words the oracle speaks.

For the spooktober prompts this year, I'm drawing images that will eventually be put into an intro video for my Evenacht serial (which runs here at WA!).
For background and the full story with images and text, check out my events page here.
