This painting will not make you hungry. It isn't meant to. The spoils of war are laced with slow poison, every coin glinting with blood, every loaf of bread heavy with memory. In Julian's world, some Jinns feed off this venom, growing monstrous with each conflict. Others vanish the moment it touches their tongues.
War War War III serves as a personal warning: a talisman against the hunger for power that once overtook Julian in his youth, when he first awakened to his gifts. Having learned the cost of ambition, he's etched into this work a small spell, quiet, invisible, set to activate only in moments of absolute desperation.
