She was the Holy One. He took her, though.
Death.
Death took her in so many ways.
That's how Illiana came to meet Thanatos.
Through Death.
The centre of his being.
And he'd be damned if she was taken away from him.
She was his, and he was hers.

Pain.
Pain.
What is pain?
Something humans know.
Mortals.
Do gods feel pain?
Pain...
Walking, on and on and on.
Shattering glass...
BOOM.
I looked up at the darkened midnight blue sky.
A... splodge of white came whooshing towards me.
I froze in terror, my body stuck like super glue to the ground.
The white furry animal landed before me, its wings tucking in at its sides.
Is that... A griffin?
Its beak opened and let out a high pitched screech.
It trotted to my frozen body, and then... sat down.
Hello Iliana Artino.
My mouth opened in shock.
What the hell... what-
The griffin jerked, it body shaking.
Did you- did you just laugh at me?
Yes. You are a funny- eh- mortal.
My lip slanted downwards, suspicious of the wording.
Why are you here?
The griffin stood up, its snowy white feathers glistening in the moons silvery glow. Obsidian lines outlined its feathers, its raven coloured sharp, pointy claws digging into the muddy ground.
Its emerald green eyes spoke of wisdom and power.
Iliana Artino. I have come for you. This forest is a sacred place. Thousands of animals live here, all elements, all shapes and sizes. I am Alekto, You're bonded.
What's a bonded?
Every living thing has a bonded. There are the few powerful who get the great mythical. Bonded are animals that are connected to their immortal or mortal since birth and our mates are your soulmates. We are spread out across the realms, that is why it is so rare for people to find their soulmates.
Aren't you a mythical?
Yes. I am. But don't fret, the man you end up with... or woman, will have a bonded, that will be a griffin. That is why. It is for me to mate.
