*After Being gone for days*

He was a disheveled mess. The great lord himself even had a beard. The great daiyoukai had been reduced to a mess. Leaves and sticks clung to his uncombed hair, his clothes ripped and muddy from his constant running. Human clothes just simply weren't up for the task as demon clothes were. His shoes were gone as well, having fallen apart from the brutal treatment they received in his hasty escape. They had survived about a week in the woods, before the soles fell off.

It was only his longing to speak with someone that brought him back to civilization. Seeking out his brother, his only blood relative whom also knew the cause of his woes, Sesshomaru begrudgingly followed his brothers scent from the woods to a housing complex. HE thought nothing of his brother joining society or taking to human living as he automatically followed the trail, slowly slugging his sock covered feet through puddles and up the stairs to the door that most recently held his scent. HE wasn't sure If Inuyasha was even there, but it was the closest trail to the woods he had found.

Shoulders slumped and haggard bangs hanging in his face, Sesshomaru rapped on the door slowly twice, and awaited the verbal lashing his brother would most likely give to his pride when he found him outside the door.

Gothic Art and the Chartres Cathedral

The gothic art period arose during the 13th century as a style of medieval period. It began in France and lasted for 400 years. The gothic style was inspired by Romanesque art. Much of early gothic art was architecture. Major architectural developments such as pointed arches, stone ribs, and flying buttresses.

The Chartres Cathedral is an excellent display of gothic architecture. It originates from the structure of a Romanesque church which had a major fire. It was rebuilt the church using gothic style architecture.

The Cathedral displays many different aspects of gothic architecture including; pointed arches (fig 1), ribbed groin vaults, rectangular bays and flying buttresses on the exterior (fig 2). It also features large stained glass windows which are original and a tall ceiling rising 120 ft from the ground. Creating stained glass windows is a challenging and expensive process. It involves super heating the glass to a molten state, adding metallic oxides and blowing and shaping the glass. This would all have to be done in a precise amount of time before the glass began to harden from its molten state. These windows were not merely a decoration added in post construction, they were a very important variable in architectural design. An interesting aspect to note, the Chartres Cathedral was shaped like a cross from an arial view as were most churches of its time (fig 3).

Rose Window and Lancets(fig 4), North Transcript is a very large stained and painted glass window in the Chartres Cathedral. Almost all churches and cathedrals of the 13th century had a similar rose window. Stained glass windows such as these tell biblical  stories and stories of saints and holy heroes. This window in particular depicts virgin and child, doves, St.Anne and the infant Mary, angels holding candelabra, cleansing angels, old testament King Judah, old testament Prophets, old testament Virtuous, old testament Villainous and arms of the Royal House of France.\

Illuminated Manuscripts

Illuminated Manuscripts began in the Hiberno-Sacon time period. They were books that documented religious beliefs. Most focused as a form of advertisement or propaganda to recruit/reform pilgrims to the catholic church. Illuminated manuscripts were painted on animal skin and were often very colourful. Most were painted with tempura paint and gold leaf. The shiny gold leaf and colourful properties is where the name Illuminated Manuscript comes from. Precious jewels and gold were used in the book covers. These covers and pages of animal skin made the books very thick. Entire pages were often dedicated to imagery to depict the story the text told. These books were created by monks and nuns. Charlemagne sponsored the editing and copying of key ancient and religious texts to be written in a clearer form of text. It is said that Charlemagne was buried along side the Coronation Gospels when he died the year of 814. It is also said that Emperor Otto the third removed the Coronation Gospels from Charlemagne’s burial later in year 1000. The Coronation Gospels got its name from coronation ceremonies of German emperors. It was created in the 9th century. This book has 4 portraits, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each at the start of every gospel. This page(fig 1. page with Matthew the evangelist) was done in ink and colours on vellum paper (parchment made from calf skin). It depicts St.Matthew at work writing his best selling gospel. One interesting aspect of this painting is that there is a halo effect given by the sun setting in the background. This is an example of symbolism as he is writing a passage for the church, a halo surrounds his head. It is now displayed at the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna.

Alecto wandered around the place, she was planning to make her way towards the refreshments, but stopped by one of the nearby booths. The Slytherin huffed as she pulled off her helmet to her costume, feeling slightly uncomfortable with it on. “Oh come on now, why do you look so surprised that it’s me?”
