Description

Sara Patiently Bears Hurt

Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids, 8 Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her. 9 So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer of thy husbands. 10 Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands? At these words she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink: 11 But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach.

The book of Tobit is a pretty interesting read for those who are curious about Religious literature. While they don't dwell long on the matter of heart between Asmodeus and Sarah I like his obsession with a human (As it's not written anywhere else that this demon has shown interest in another mortal, unless you count Lilith). Because of this I displayed Sarah up on a crumbling pedestal while Asmodeus teases her with the blood of her recently befallen husband.

Done in CS6 and about 12 hours worth of work.
