[ -- work in progress, updates either biweekly or weekly --] In the depths of the ruins of Meteor City, a flower blooms. Quiet and peaceful in her ruin of cobble and stone, Beryl raised Dandelion for the genteel lifestyle, after all, she wanted a life that outside the slums, outside of Meteor City for her adopted daughter. But Beryl had a secret. At night, under the harassment and taunts of the Silken Tigers, her eyes glow red, and her hands shed blood. Then, the Phantom Troupe found her.
