[quote=thewizardguy] The sun was a burning eye, as it arched across the sky. The night was a frozen gaze, as if the stars would expose the secrets hidden within. Sands battered Najimi, as she stood and fought alone in an endless desert. Wading through a sea of corpses, as hands grabbed at her ankles, seeking to drag her beneath the spray, to drown her in the blood that she had spilt, even as new foes charged her. Day after day, she fought, as more and more rose from the sands, wielding blades and magic, inhuman eyes glisteningly empty, like those of a corpse, and yet, the eyes of the dead filled with pain. From the writhing piles of fallen, emerged a single creature, a serpent, formed from the mutilated corpses and weapons that had formed Najimi's unstable footing just moments before.Rising up into the sky, the creature let out a horrific shriek, the voice of thousands, merged into an inhuman war cry filled with undulated bloodlust. it's iron teeth gnashed, it's eyes of flame staring down, under the gaze of the deformed sun of this prison world. It blocked out the light, and turned the ground to light. It struck, it's tremendous jaw outstretched to swallow her whole, to devour her, and all she had ever been. Najimi's own flames struck out, filling the creature, even as it fell. Like a firework, it lit, flaming bodies clattering to the ground, as Najimi desperately struggled through the fallen, through the hands grabbing for her throat, into her mouth, as they tore at her, held her, burning, desperate, screaming all the way.Minutes passed. Breath was running out. With a bright explosion, Najimi broke to the surface, gasping for air, shaking off the clutching fingers of the damned. And, as she looked up, once more, there were more men. More figures, climbing out of the depths of the desert, their faces rigid, their eyes hollow. Once more, she would tear them down, she would burn them, slice them, watch them strangle. For a week, she had stood here, as they had assaulted her, as the very world she stood in had tried to end her life. And yet, she had not yet fallen.Hundreds at a time now, they came. More than ever before. An army that raised the sands from their beds, as great typhoons twisted towards her, malignant grins etched onto spectral faces, visible within the storm. Lightning struck down from the sky, and she deflected it back, laughter echoing like thunder. The ground shook, as great fires rose from endless chasms. And once more, death tried to take her.And all this time, from high above, the flaming eye watched it all. [/quote] Najimi looks up at the eye and chuckles at this dangerous world's repeated failure to kill her. It was the chuckle of one who had lost their mind. Or at least that's what she was going for anyway. Even in this condition she kept her sanity, and quite frankly hid it perfectly
