Malevolence

The isle of Alexandros bore a child foretold to devastate humanity and while the gods sent a warning, their attempts were disregarded. Although aware of the curse, the mother could not slaughter her own unborn blood, instead fleeing. Furious beyond comprehension at their servants' outright defiance and ignorance, they withdrew their blessings cast upon the land.

The presences of the gods faded with time and eventually so did the beliefs of the child bringing hell above ground. Cora Escarrà found human existence pitiful and she only observed as it grew worse. She hadn't needed to lay a hand on anything - the beasts were capable of destroying themselves without so much as a shove in the wrong direction.

The temperature outside was dropping and his eyes were drooping as more blood bubbled to the surface of his injuries. Cora met his eyes before he had even knocked.
