In the collapse of Groundhaven, Ainsel found themselves the leader of a small band of survivors. Fleeing their enemies, the group found themselves chased to the edges of the Scarred Wasteland.

They would have perished in the unforgiving wastes if not for the Lifend Clan, who took them in and helped them learn to adapt.

Ainsel grew close to Argas, the Lifend clan leader, but love and gratitude turned to horror, when they discovered themself and their clan bound to her, a parasitic infection taking hold of them and causing immense pain when they tried to go their separate ways.

Now Ainsel struggles to find a way to escape. Their rejection of Argas' bond has caused the eye on their chest to weep blood.

Ainsel doesn't care. Argas' betrayal hurts worse than any physical wound ever could.
