Clariel and Belatiel Fan Art

Some late night tragic Clariel and Belatiel sketchy fan art for you all. 

To my fellow Abhorsen fans, if you haven’t gone and gotten your copy of Clariel by Garth Nix I’m very disappointed in you and you need to go get a copy immediately. It was certainly not what I was expecting, and I now have to go back and read the whole trilogy for the bazillionth time for reasons.

***SUPER SPOILER QUOTE***


"Sorry," she croaked. "Thought no one was doing anything. Didn't understand. Free Magic." 
"I know," said Bel. He saw the blood pooling under her, suppressed a gasp, and reached for the Charter to choose the marks of a healing spell. 
"My aunt Lemmin," whispered Clariel. "Rescue her?" 
"We will," said Bel. "There will be no more fighting. Not with Kilp dead, and the Clayr and the others coming through the Erchan Gate." 
"The King?" whispered Clariel.
"He's dying," said Bel. He had the marks, the spell was all ready, but it would not leave his hand. The marks refused to enter Clariel's flesh. He looked quickly at the King. "It has all been too much. He's smiling, though. Ader is telling him the news." 
"Telling him..."
"Princess Tathiel came with the Clayr," said Bel. He grimaced as the spell rebounded again and he lost the marks. "She has been with them all this time. She will be Queen. Much against her wishes." 
"We can't all get what we want," whispered Clariel. "I thought it was so simple...the Great Forest... not so much to ask..."
"No, not so much," said Bel. 
Clariel didn't answer.
Bel wiped his eyes and reached for the Charter again. Mistress Ader came to his side, and he felt her hand upon his shoulder, lending him strength. But again the marks were repelled and Bel, already weary from the frantic flight in pursuit of Clariel, almost fainted from the effort himself. 
"There is too much Free Magic in her," said Ader, her voice kind but sure. "The wound is too deep. You have to let her go, Bel and we must make sure she cannot come back."
