Martwiec | Undead!Adder AU

As I'm working on my Martwiec!Adder AU story, here some undead!Adder art I did for fun (just to be clear here, this is my edit of an game's photo).

In Slavic demonology, there is many demons created from the souls of people who died a sudden/brutal death and who rise from the grave to torment the living. Vampires and strigas are the most known. And though martwiec can be used as a synonym for these supernatural beings, I'm going with Bestiariusz Słowiański (Slavic Bestiary) by Paweł Zych that presented Martwiec as demon created from a deceased person whose family mourned the dead for too long and too intensely. Of course, I'm taking the liberty of adapting this concept to suit my needs, so Janosh could get his Adder back, just a bit different one 😈

I have already some chapters written down (Henry & Janosh POVs) which I may post soon. I'm struggling with Adder & Janosh as writing them in english feels like blasphemy but also, I don't feel like translating it either.
