Another painting has come to life?
The image of those hanging paintings in the Dragon's Nest Study surfaced in the mind of Young Dragon Lucia.
Come to life?
During her time in the imperial city, she had never heard of such a thing. Ancient paintings of considerable age possessed collectible value; them coming to life was impossible.
For a painting to come to life, it would need to harness some special powers of a divine artifact, making it possible to briefly become a spirit within the painting.
Or perhaps, to be imbued with some dark power by a strange, dark creature.
Furthermore, the selected painting must meet some extremely stringent conditions to have the chance to become a special dark creature.
For example, a cursed painting, or one that has received a blessing...
Sophia sister's ability to come to life within a painting was because of her unique identity; she could be a Valkyrie.
A deity.
Could that creepy laughter and the whispering be coming from sister Sophia?
