These, to me, are warrior hands. These hands tell a story.
The writer in me conjures images of what this warrior might look like. His accent and timbre, words he crafts to argue a point or seduce a woman or blackmail enemies.
The lands he has traveled to, their divergent customs, smells, sounds, sights. Battles he has won and battles he has lost.
What cause he would willingly die defending. Who he would willingly die protecting.
I must apologize for having lost the thread as to where I found this photo and who deserves credit for it.
It is a story-provoking picture. Have you heard/read And the Blood of Dead Gods Shall Mark the Score. I loved the premise of this urban fantasy of getting power from tats made from the blood of gods.
ReplyDeleteAidan, I just listened to that first podcast. Wow! Thanks for telling me about the story. It's very intriguing. I love the writing! I'm going to have to get the rest of it. You're right, that photo does seem to correlate.
