It's like the first book, but I've worked on the characters and their backstories a bit more so it makes sense to a certain degree. You can ask all the old/new characters!! But Just know, I will be drawing a couple cause the character look I want ca...
a girl was born with bright red eyes. Her parents had loved her very much, however, the elders in her village, believed her to be cursed, a demon. They called her that throughout her life, and soon enough, all but her parents believed her to be cursed, a demon. The girl grew up, wandering away from her village. She didn't know why the village hated her "why don't they like me?" She'd ask herself, when all was quiet "I try to be good, and help out like everyone else, but they always just call me names..." On the night of her nineteenth birthday, both her parents fell ill, and soon, died. With them gone, the girl had a much harder time in the village. People would throw food at her, garbage, anything they saw fit. One day, the girl was told that she had been married off to a very wealthy man in a city. The people dressed her in fine robes, and placed a mask on her to cover her eyes, before she was married off.
Her husband was very kind, but the girl knew that if he saw her eyes, he too would believe she was cursed. So she always wore her mask, only taking it off to eat, or bathe. She took it one step further, to keep her eyes a secret, and never left the home she was given. All this caused her skin to be paler than most, the people started suspecting she was a ghost. One day, her husband confronted her about it, and it led to a fight, her husband ripped the mask from her face, and saw her eyes. "DEMON!!!" He yelled, as he sentenced her to burn at the stake. The girl accepted her fate, and dressed in the robes her mother had made her before she died, tied her hair with a lotus, like her father showed her when she was young, and awaited her death.
By the time she was tied up to be burned, she thought sh would move on... But deep inside her bones, down, down, down where she didn't know existed, a part of her was not finished. So many years of being called cursed... So many years of being called a demon... It made her blood boil. "If it's a demon they want, it's a demon they'll get." She unconsciously thought.... Once she was set ablaze, it happened... The flames... Didn't burn her. Her hands grew claw like nails, the whites of her eyes turned black, her ears became long and pointed, she could FEEL powers like none other MOVING though her veins, as her teeth grew sharp, her flesh turned white as snow... And she smiled. She used her claws to rip apart the ropes that held her, walked through the flames, and as all gasped in horror, she said... "You have always found those different from you 'wrong' or 'worthless'... You called me demon just for my eyes... Well, if it's a demon you want, then HERE I AM!" before anyone could react, she swiftly murdered those who came to watch her burn. All except her husband. No, HE was for last. As she stepped closer and closer to the scared man, she hadn't realized a monk at a nearby temple has grabbed the mask she used to wear oh-so-much, and had started a ritual to seal her inside. Once the ritual was finished, she had torn her husband's body to pieces. HE was her final kill, before being sealed away in her old mask....
"Elaine, come here, your father and I have a gift for you."
"Yes, mom?"
"Here, we found you a mask, to help protect your face..."
"... Thank you mom and dad!"
