The Trix meet Dorian Gray

...
As Icy, Darcy and Stormy were checking Janek's cabin, they noticed something unusual toward the bow. On the wall, pointing the bow of the 'Bismarck' there was a single painting, covered by a giant, black cape. Apart from Count Wallenrod's collection, this painting was probably the only decoration in his cabin.

- Why would he cover a painting? - Darcy pointed out - Is he hiding something?
- Who cares!?! - Stormy replied- We have seen hundreds of paintings here. What good it will be if we check this one out!
- That is a question you should ask yourself! - Icy made a statement- This Count has stalked me long enough to make me eager to learn everything about him.
- And what will you learn from one, pathetic painting? - Stormy continued.
- Hmmm, well this may sound interesting. - Darcy noted while checking part of the cape - There is an inscription on it. It says ' Ivan Albright Le Lloraine, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a portrait of Evil and Moral Rot'.
- What kind of title is that? - Stormy reacted after some time - Who would call a picture like that!?!
- 'Portrait of Evil and Moral Rot? Hmmm - Icy thought for a moment - Sounds like somebody was really dumb to think he can portray Evil Forces.
- So what are we going to do???- Darcy asked them, still not knowing what to think of the title.
- And how do you think, Stupid! We'll destroy that thing! - Stormy overreacted, then with one single move of the hand, she ripped the cape off the painting.

The Trix looked at the painting, then froze in utter horror. The Portrait depicted an old man, grinning with completely destroyed teeth, while standing in front of the black background. And anywhere you looked, there were marks of rotting, blood and ugly yellow. The man's head was like a skull, upon which a rotten, yellow skin, filled with Mold.
It looked like a corpse grabbed out of the tomb for painting, while it was still juicy and decomposing.

Icy, Darcy and Stormy tried to scream at the horrific sight, but the shock made them unable to make a single sound. And no matter what they did, they couldn't stopping looking at this disturbing image. Icy, who stood right in front of 'Dorian Gray', was paralyzed by corpse's emotionless, cruel, soul-piercing eyes. No matter how she tried, she couldn't look back - her eyes were frozen on corpse's face, which looked like he was staring at her.

Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed her eyes with her hands, and almost tore them from her skull- Darcy and Stormy just barely stopped her from that.
- Let's get out here! - Darcy said quickly, while trying to catch a breath and fighting her stare at the painting - Quick, before we go mad because of it!

And the Trix ran out of the cabin as fast as they could.
