Viewed from slightly above at a three-quarters angle, a slender, dark-skinned thirteen-year-old boy sits completely slumped on the dry, cracked earth, his small frame entirely devoid of strength. His facial structure is delicately youthful and androgynous enough to be mistaken for a girl's, yet his features are hollowed by extreme exhaustion, with soot smudges along his cheekbones and dark circles shadowing his eyes. Long, unkempt black hair hangs in tangled, heavy strands around his bowed neck and across his shoulders, several loose locks dangling plumb toward the ground in the dead, windless air. His ruby-red eyes are dull and completely devoid of life, fixed in an unfocused, empty stare on the pebbles before him, his eyelids drooping low and his dry lips parted slightly in shallow respiration. Around his lean torso and hips, coarse and tattered rags of frayed cloth are wrapped loosely, leaving his bruised collarbones, thin arms, and bare feet exposed against the cold dirt. Both of his thin arms loop weakly around an ornate, sheathed hero's sword, cradling the long scabbard horizontally against his chest; his limp fingers drape passively over the scabbard's gilded fittings without grip strength, the heavy pommel resting near his collarbone. His spine is curved forward, his weight collapsed heavily onto his hips and the heels of his bare feet. A faint, powdery layer of pale dust has settled undisturbed onto the upward-facing edge of the scabbard and the crest of his bowed shoulders. A single diffused, pale key light filters through the gloom from the upper left, catching dull crimson highlights in his glass-like irises while casting a soft, elongated shadow across the barren ground. Heartbreaking desolation.
