A woman here (who looks a lot like the one in Eight Of Wands), wearing a white dress with a candelabrum (three candles) in her right hand, descends a stair, in some gloomy castle. There are ten wands behind her back. At the bottom of the stair on the right, there is a gargoyle, its jaw open, who seems to be growling.
It seems that someone is coming and the woman is going downstair to see who it is, but the gargoyle doesn't want the woman to go further, he's locked her up and made her his prisoner. Maybe she has made him promises but now she regrets them and she can't release herself from them. The wands in her back are the weight of her punishment or the weight of her commitment. She's longing to be free and to be freed.
