ALIZIC+ELIJAH '

Previously

…It was the voice of her art, the voice that longed to be heard. She picked up a fresh canvas, her fingers already tingling with anticipation. For the first time in a long time, the scent of turpentine and oil paint didn't feel like a sanctuary; it felt like a battlefield, and she was ready to fight. She would use her art, her true voice, to paint the truth, to paint what the whispers tried to obscure. She would paint Elijah, and in doing so, she would paint her own heart. The challenge had been laid down, not by the whispers, but by her own burgeoning courage. And as she dipped her brush into a vibrant shade of cerulean blue, Alizic knew that this was just the beginning.
