Summary
No one has a greater understanding of the soul than an artist. Not because art holds the soul of its subject, as some might suggest, there is no magic in oil and brush, but because being made the subject of a painting bares one's nature to the artist. It is necessary, if one is to have a truly remarkable portrait painted.
5 pictures of Carlo, and 1 of the boy that carries his heart.

Summary
To preserve something is to confine it to its original state, unchanging in the face of time. A knight is gifted immortality by the Lord so his unwavering loyalty may be preserved forevermore, but even those encased in amber will crumble if enough pressure is exerted. Dragon worship finds its way into Anor Londo at the behest of Lord Gwyn's firstborn and the first cracks begin to appear in his first knight's faith.

Summary
It is Heart's Eve—the eve of the Day of Heart and Hearth, candles twinkling through snowy windowpanes and song drifting in the streets—and Essek arrives unexpectedly, with no emergency (no gaping wound; no narrow escape; no half-formed fears).
He hasn't done that before.

Summary
“Well, regardless of who you are, you’ve been yourself the entire time. Haven’t you?”
Quixotic, adj: exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical.
A puppet boy whose future was decided for him the moment he was born comes alive, thanks to people he didn’t know he lost and love he didn’t know he felt, and he finds he can’t accept the soft tragedy his life was intended to be. He can’t accept the tragedy Romeo's life had concluded with. He can’t accept that his father wasn’t the man he thought he was.
But the lessons he unknowingly taught still ring true, whether the boy likes it or not: most things are rarely ever as easy or simple as anyone wants them to be, themselves included, and a foundation of lies cannot hold.
