The Gallery

Welcome to the Gallery, where you can admire hundreds of beautiful paintings, and perhaps find what you didn't know you were looking for... THE PERMANENT COLLECTIONThe Permanent Collection comprises those paintings which never leave the Gallery. The beings within these paintings have bargained with the Curator to stay on forever in return for gifting him their powers, resources, or knowledge. They help the Curator in running the Gallery and provide sustenance for the Curator and Assistant Curator. Today's featured pieces include: The Assistant, about a lonely, misunderstood young man who accompanies a friend to a strange gallery and is unexpectedly offered a job; Three Kings once walked away from their kingdoms, and now spend their days with each other; The Tycoon is about a rough and powerful man who went missing several years ago and has every intention of remaining so; The Bastard Son is about a man who once fled betrayal and heartache and now uses his deadly skills and famous sword to defend Silenus and the Gallery. And in The Demon Slayer, an angel arrives to find the gallery under attack, and soon one demon is slain while another falls... THE SPECIAL EXHIBITSIn these rooms you will find the Special Exhibits, those paintings which remain at the Gallery only temporarily. Their time here can range from weeks to decades-even centuries. But they do eventually leave, so admire while you can. The subjects of these paintings come from all walks of life, from lonely individuals seeking respite while they await their true love, all the way to dangerous beings captured by the Curator or given to him for safekeeping until such time as they can be trusted out in the world again. Today's featured Special Exhibits include: The Assassin, about a killer on the run and a painting of a man who once chose surrender over murder; The Lion and the Mouse, where a grouchy accountant escapes the snow only to find himself on a beach with an ancient gladiator; The Gargoyle is a beautiful, erotic statue not for the faint of heart; Shapeless brings a new and rather unique guest to the gallery when he is bequeathed to Silenus by a dead alchemist; and finally, in Fallen Soldier, a man escaping his kidnappers hides behind a statue of an unusual being who once betrayed a dying kingdom...
