61 – Basedt

[Long description: The body of a woman falls out of the wound. She is drenched in light, but cloaked from view by the monstrous bird's feathers. Smoke-blood pours out of her mouth, the same color as the v-shaped marking painted across the bridge of her nose. Her thick, black hair spins out around her, framed by the collar of her heavy fur parka and a ceremonial blanket.
