Interacting with: Aethel ([@Bright_Ops]) and the Monarch of All ([@Lauder])[/center] [hr] As the shards spilled out of the Monarch of All, there was one in particular that seemed to be just a bit odd. It battled itself, seemingly unsure of how it would come into being as the connection was sundered. Within this shard a battle raged, one that would likely never be known to anyone but those involved for some time. Within the shard, two forms coalesced. One of a beautiful woman, and the other of an amorphous blob. Launching itself at the beautiful woman with what could only be described as a scream, the amorphous blob sprouted something akin to an arm, and upon that arm was a claw. Taking advantage of the fact that there was not yet any resistance from the coalescing goddess, the blob clawed at her face, attempting to both slay her and steal away what divinity it could. The soft and supple flesh of the unfinished goddess gave way to the rending claws with little resistance, and the sleeping woman’s face was forever scarred. From these scars the blob gained a tiny spark of divine energy as a trophy for its kill. Clutching this spark greedily, the blob looked to the presumably slain goddess and began to shape itself in their image. As its own form began to coalesce and it moved to finalize its emergence it found itself clutching at its head. Something was wrong. Letting out a shriek that no normal ear could withstand the form of the predator went limp. The sleeping goddess, thought dead, had been healed by the abundance of divine energy. Lowering her hand, she approached the corpse of her would-be killer and touched it gently. The limp form split apart, and slowly the scarred goddess donned it as one would clothes. Once everything was in place the scarred goddess let out a scream of her own as the flesh of her would-be sister bound to her own, bringing the two together to form the one. Ruina stepped into existence from just behind the great jade throne that had been crafted by the Monarch of All. Clearly her would-be sister did not intend to stop with just murdering her. Walking across the fine wooden bridge. A light click emerged from each step as Ruina’s talons impacted upon the ground. With each step her tail shifted behind her, maintaining her balance with ease. Instinctively approaching the Monarch of All, she heard a faint fragment of conversation as she approached. Something about wanting to spend time with them before they left. So someone else was also present? Interesting, but not problematic. Walking with confidence, Ruina walked around to the front of the Monarch of All and unknowingly mimicked Aethel by bowing. Her tail unconsciously moved to ensure that her deep bow did not throw her off balance. Looking briefly to Aethel Ruina would give her a brief nod of respect before turning her attention back to her creator… Or would father be a better term? Speaking up, Ruina introduced herself, primarily to the Monarch of All and secondarily to Aethel. [color=#a6cb99]”Peace be with you, Monarch of All. I am Ruina, and I am at your service. Instruct me as you desire.”[/color] Rising from her bow, Ruina could do little more than await a reply from her creator. [hider=Summary!] Ruina comes into being! At first she’s got an underdeveloped sister that tries to kill her for her divinity, but is healed by the abundance of divine energy and erases her sister's consciousness as revenge. Splitting her sister apart, she dons and then merges with her remains in order to regain the spark of divinity that was taken from her. Awakening in The Celestial Palace, Ruina notes that her sister would’ve promptly tried to murder the Monarch of all through tactically teleporting behind him. Walking to where he and Aethel are located, she introduces herself and pledges her service, asking for directions. [/hider] [hider=Vigor] Cycle 0 Vigor total: 10. Vigor spent: 0. Remaining Vigor: 10.
