[indent][indent][quote]		Bastet is known as many and beloved by all. A daughter of Ra and she of the ointment jar, as per the deconstruction of her given name. Her devotion and protection to women as a fertility goddess, and the blessings of her divinity to felines has graced the natures of time through many deciphers of worship. Centuries past and before transition depict a fierce woman bathed in the strength of a lioness, festooned in such likeness of a divine protector and deliverer of justice: an avenger to the name of her father and sent unto his enemies along side her sister wreathed in anger and chief to war. However, this aggressive and near savagery has been diluted over time, trading the golden veneer of a lion with that of gentler domestication; a house cat seated and gazing yonder, eternally and watchful, paws also stationed with many litters amidst play in later depictions and art. It was uttered that she kept disease at bay to any woman and child, as such cats were often admired as near royalty in their roles as hunters of vermin.[/quote][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][quote]	She had lost, but she had also gained.

To walk among the mortal plain was both a blessing, and yet, such a curse, stolen of divine strength and yet able to touch, and [i]feel[/i] the pain of those who worshiped her once. The likeness of herself toned down from golden lamplight and smudged into greys and blacks, almost desolate compared to godly ichor and splendor. Bastet touched babes and pregnant women in awe, now [i]one[/i] of them. She was helpless almost, unable to quell those sudden and fearful prayers, witnessing what was once a blessed occasion now one rife with fear. Cats were turned away as pests, turning mad, feral, and diseased, liken to rats they once purged. Once upon a time revered for their role and now scorned for their nature, unable to be tamed or quelled and turned to metal cages and walls of stone. 

Bastet wept for a time, for what entitled a protectress if she could [i]not protect[/i]. Humans were tormented creations of greed and pride, burdened and yet lifted by sin. The sun of her father was a mere reminder to the days she would lie about in the sun and had become a star of boiling wrath that scorched the earth rather than bless it. She remembered the festivals and mourned their loss. The urge to move tore upon her bones often, thus producing a once splendid Goddess to a being of melancholy from her sudden inability to adapt from ageless days.

It took [i]time[/i] for Bastet to adjust and take reign of her nature and mortal constitution, finding faith and reason in tending to old and new mothers as both Midwife and friend. She soothed worries in personal graces and tended to many strays strewn about the cities whenever the Colossus bid she move. She was adorned within the image of gentle and motherly affections, a simple woman that fed cats in the alley ways and bequeathed strangers with sweet perfumes, curiously accompanied by a feline or two purring among her heels and mewling for treats. However, banked within docile mannerisms lurks the shadow of duality, a haze to the light of maternal instincts that produces a fierce woman of many, many means to protect all that she holds sacred.[/quote][/indent][/indent][/hider]
