𝐈. 𝕭LOOD WORN HANDS ⎯⎯It's a recurring nightmare.
It begins the same as every other night. Her hand reaches for the doorknob. She grips it tightly, ignoring the faint screams of horror from the other side of the door. Her eyes gravitate toward the two most important people in the room: her dead father and her living mother. She ignores the outline of Roman Sionis in the shadows, his cynical smirk that haunts her in the dark.
Amidst the chaos, one thing remained clear: Roman Sionis, the Black Mask, was to blame for the destruction of her home.
In a sick, twisted way, Roman Sionis can also be thanked for the creation of her alter-ego, Styx. If not for the careless tragedy he'd brought to her home, there would be no need for Amparo Cardenas to send her daughter off to Gotham, to be placed under the care of the Bat. There would be no need for Azalea Cardenas to create Styx, the channel for all her anger and grief as her life was sent into a downward spiral —( which only worsens with the years to come ).
