whoa──hey, are you alright there?
lefaeys
@off3ring⠀ —yes. i’m alright. [the witch of the woods’ hand hovers over the fresh, bleeding wound on her leg, the cut skin merging together until it is whole once more. she stands up shakily, meeting the gaze of the boy of the house zamfir.] though perhaps i shall ask that of you, kind ser. you look — [a pause,] far from home.

aethra’s godhood is eventually stripped from her, leaving her in a weakened mortal form (that still bears her scars). she currently resides in the woods, known as ALTHAEA, the “witch of the woods”, able to control nature, second sight, and healing to those who seek her out.

“LADY OF THE LIGHT, FIRST EMPRESS AETHRA, SAINT OF JUSTICE, MOTHER OF THE SUN.. known by many names, but to her people, she is simply known as aethra. aethra, a girl residing in her quaint home, close to the heavens themselves and blessed with fertile land to grow a field of flowers. a healer of all, before they had arrived and killed and enslaved her people. aethra had prayed to the gods above, though they did not answer her.. her people were maimed, experimented on like subjects.. her body, scarred with pus–filled wounds that seem to never quite heal.. and so, filled with a heavy heart and a burning vengeance, aethra had escaped.. towards the neighboring nations, seeking alliances, even begging at their feet, the lowest of the low.. they had laughed in her face.. no alliance was forged.. so aethra had made a treacherous journey, seeking power of her own. the gods watched. they loom, awaiting.. and aethra, throwing away her own humanity and love, commits a great sin.. and ascends from a lowly village girl to a god. a god, vengeful, murdering her oppressors and hunts them down like dogs until none of them is more. her light, all–consuming, the new empress..” (AN EXCERPT OF AETHRA, JOURNEY TO GODHOOD)

@kanibls* even so, i don't think that's going to improve yer.. /situation, hon/. [she offers a smile (genuine? maybe, maybe not), eyes scanning over the.. well, bloody mess,] if i were you, i'd get that cleaned up. before someone else that isn't me decides to talk. i don't think you'd want that to happen, hm?
lefaeys
@vendttas* patience, /patience/. it's a virtue, after all—something you, clearly, don't have! .. describe this figure to me & i'll, maybe, maybe, just answer yer /question/.
lefaeys
@aeternm* now, now, don't be like /that/, miss. maybe i just want to hang around & have some tea with ya—maybe 'm just here to talk! which is technically what we're doin' right now, aren't we? :D
lefaeys
@biospies* i'm surprised /you've/ made it this far, missy. 'specially with that mouth of yers. [it retorted; figure dressed in guts an' gore, maintaining its signature grin.] but what can i say? i adapt fairly quickly. hopefully you too.
lefaeys
@mortuam* awe. what a shame. [it responded; and, as if it were a child, the being /pouted/. the maggots that sat on his palms continue to writhe.] the larvae say that they've taken a certain.. liking to you.
