Sketchbook - Moon over Carthage (Patreon)

Vampiric love - Moloch and Troile admire the moon.

A little story to reduce the level of pathos:

Troile thought for a long time how to most beautifully confess his love to Moloch and finally came up with it. "I will bring him to the city wall, from where the most beautiful view of Carthage opens, let him see how the glare of the moon plays on the surface of the sea and illuminates the walls of houses with silver light. Seeing this, he will say "Troile, what a beauty! What a perfect city you created!", and I will answer: "It's not about the city, the important thing is that I love you, let's go make love!"

And so he did. Led Moloch to where the most beautiful view opens, the glares are playing, the view is beautiful.Moloch looked at it and said: "Troile, I love you, let's go make love!"
And Troile in response: "It's not about love, just look what a perfect city I created!"
