A world once on the cusp of perfection is shattered by jealousy and is now but a husk, a frayed reflection of what it once was.

Hope is mired in this broken world but perhaps simple dreams can be overlooked.

A daughter unable to mourn, a stolen orphan, loyalty of no purpose, and untold promises.

Perhaps a dream of a new world and of new beginnings, no matter how aimless they may be.

Ix Chel and the Exiled Shadar Kai by iamtouhou
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Ix Chiel was born into a peaceful village nestled deep in the Yucatn jungle, where the ancient traditions and rich culture of the Marani people thrived. Named after the Marani goddess of the moon and medicine, she was expected to lead a humble life, honoring the gods through rituals and daily offerings. From a young age, Ix Chiel showed an unusual affinity for the sacred practices, and the village elders saw in her a vessel chosen by the gods. On her eighteenth birthday, a great drought struck the land. Desperate to appease Chaac, the god of rain, the elders determined that a human sacrifice was necessary. Ix Chiel, with her deep connection to the divine, was chosen. Bound and adorned with sacred markings, she was led to the sacrificial altar atop a great pyramid. As the ceremonial blade descended, Ix Chiel's vision blurred, and she accepted her fate with a prayer. Her body fell, lifeless, and the village waited for the rains. But as darkness enveloped her consciousness, a voice, ancient and foreign, whispered promises of revenge and power. An unknown god, spurned and forgotten by the Marani pantheon, reached out and pulled her from death's embrace. Her eyes opened, now glowing with an otherworldly light, and a malevolent force surged within her. Reanimated and fueled by the anger of the forsaken deity, Ix Chel became an instrument of vengeance. Her village, once a place of warmth and community, turned into a scene of chaos and destruction. She unleashed a storm of fury, annihilating her home and leaving no survivor.
