Wednesday got busy this week, so I moved this post to Friday. Get inspired with this week’s Fantasy Art Friday, where fun fantasy artwork is combined with a writing prompt to get your creative juices flowing.

Rising up from the ruins are two formidable stone guardians. Ruined or not, this place is fiercely protected. The bears stare down the lone figure approaching. His bow and arrows are no threat–they might as well be toys.

The man carefully contemplates his approach, as well he should. Must a certain ritual be followed to pay the proper respect? Will he be accepted and sheltered here, or will the guardians see him as a threat? This place may be a sanctuary, but whose sanctuary is it?
