Ravenous

Ravenous was once a beautiful sorceress with powerful magic. But with such magic also came with greed. Now, Ravenous was certainly not evil, however she was still young and most definitely not the wisest. She used her magic for foolish things and the power eventually went to her head. She began using her magic to hurt those around her instead of good with no one trying to stop her. For decades, Ravenous ruled an empire of savagery, but on the darkest of nights a rebellion arose.

The rebellion was nothing quite like anything Ravenous had seen before; so she sat on her throne of bones, frozen from shock. She hadn't been accustomed to dragons fighting against her, and still being young, she impulsively cast a spell in defense...


❝Those who rise against their queen

Shall perish under this spell,

Into a distorted shadow you shall twist, indicating the true value of your scales,

Cursed to hunger relentlessly for each other's flesh, like the monster you really are

And to be constantly reminded of your terrible deeds until your last breath

Seeing the futures you could have lived until your death

For the act of disrespecting their queen!

And for those who attempt to break the curse,

Will turn into a mindless, slaughtering beast before they can reverse!❞

But a single shard of abnormally shining glass being raised to the sky reflected the path of the spell. Instead of corrupting her subjects, Ravenous corrupted herself. As her beautiful red scales twisted and warped, the cheers of the dragons around her rose to the air, drowning out her shrieks. By dawn, the once-sorceress had transformed into a ghost of her former childish self. As she rose to her feet, the dark sky cleared and Ravenous vowed to accept her well-deserved fate.

Now, she stalks the darkness in shame, distanced from civilization, only coming out when she hungers. And when the dragoness hungers, she unwillingly loses control of herself and her massive claws. Ravenous often stars in the nightmares of both hatchlings and elders as a result. Yet, the twisted dragoness has no true evil intent despite her murderous actions. She has aged, her bones have began creaking, and her mind has matured. The dragoness only wishes to be freed from the horrible prison she inflicted upon herself.

• Uses 'thrilling' in a lot of sentences.
• Years ago: "They ripped each other's heads off, how thrilling!"
• Now: "The shining sun is most thrilling. Listen to those thrilling birds, and their thrilling voices. I love it."
• Not poetic at all. She tried really hard to make her spells sound super cool and scary and stuff
