A. Taking a page out of The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>, they had the family portrait commissioned. And under the light of the fullmoon the spells were cast, to pour all of their aging into the paint so they could avoid the indignities of growing older.<\/p>\n

The painting followed them as they moved from town to town, always leaving before anyone recognized that they were different. That all the years they lived never touched them.<\/p>\n

2. Hidden in an attic, wrapped in stiff paper, there was an old painting. A moment caught in time, though the subject–a young man with fine features–continued to age until he was a withered old man.<\/h2>\n

A. Hidden in an attic, wrapped in stiff paper, there was an old painting. A moment caught in time, though the subject–a young man with fine features–continued to age until he was a withered old man. He’d been easy prey to the monster that lived in the house.<\/p>\n

Captured and locked in oil paint, he felt no pain as the life was drained out of his trapped soul. And neither did the 200 other men and women transformed into paintings and hidden throughout the countryside, their screams silenced to dull lassitude, so that they could sleep through their decades-long deaths.<\/p>\n

But he was special. He was the first<\/em>. The one true beloved that had turned a loving heart into a sucking pit of hate and rage.<\/p>\n

A. Jealously guarding her beauty, a witch began capturing young women in paintings. Once she had them under her power, she began draining them of their youth and beauty, pouring it into perfume bottles.<\/p>\n

Depending on the women that produced the scents, her perfumes ranged from spicy to divine. With every spritz she gave herself, she would become more beautiful and alluring, and her power continued to grow.<\/p>\n
