A Clash of Kings – The Shadow Baby
Panting, she squatted and spread her legs. Blood ran down her thighs, black as ink. Her cry might have been agony or ecstasy or both. And Davos saw the crown of the child’s head push its way out of her. Two arms wriggled free, grasping, black fingers coiling around Melisandre’s straining thighs, pushing, until the whole of the shadow slid out into the world and rose taller than Davos, tall as the tunnel, towering above the boat. He had only an instant to look at it before it was gone, twisting between the bars of the portcullis and racing across the surface of the water, but that instant was long enough.
A Clash of Kings Chapter 42 – Davos
Stansis sends Davos to take Melisandre to Storm’s End. As they near the castle, he slowly realizes he’s participating in an assassination. He is even more horrified when he sees how Melisandre is going to carry it out. He watches in horror as she gives birth to the shadow baby.
The challenge to this picture was trying to keep it PG and not objectifying Mellisandre. I think the pose and her hair mostly make it work. Regrettably, I worry it looks like she’s taking a dump now.
