Kaia

500g and I got to steal korvax's wife

Korvax led Kaia into the mansion, glad for once that the clan had fled into the tunnels below. There was no one here to witness his shame.
He leaned heavily on Kaia, and took her into his study. Korvax dismissed his bed, there was no time to rest, he could feel the curse gnawing at his mind. Whatever attacked him, it wanted in, it wanted control, and he wasn't about to give in.
Kaia made a sound and Korvax turned. Her eyes had turned a glossy black, her face blank and expressionless.
"Kaia?" said Korvax in a tight voice. "Are you alright, my dear?"
Kaia turned to him slowly.
"We come...," she said in a whisper.
Korvax leaned forward, brow furrowed. "What did you say?"
Kaia straightened and her aura changed, becoming black as pitch. Power swirled around her, a wind coming up and swirling the papers on his desk.
"WE COME." Kaia thundered in a thousand voices. The power ignited and she went up in obsidian flames, and in a flash she vanished.
Korvax stared at the space where she had been, heart sinking even as his mind refused to comprehend.
She was gone.

——————————

The universe is a strange place. It works in equally strange places.

When the flames surrounded her whatever semblance of her past life burned with it. Memories wiped clean, and nothing but the call of a thousand voices left to fill the void left behind.

How long she was gone for or where she was in that time is also a mystery. One that will likely never be solved.

What is certain however, is that whatever took a hold of her form reaked of ancient power almost as old as starhide himself. Upon sensing his presence when she emerged within the lair of the estranged, her body burned with the need to escape. And so escape of did.

Deep into the tangled mess only known as the festering forest.

The creatures living there were even more ancient then that which ran the husk that was now kaia, but unlike hours prior, it did not hate nor hide away from them. But rather sought them out as companions for the dawn of her new life here.

It’s oddly comforting to be around them.

Somewhere in the furthest reaches of her mind she felt a pang of sadness. Maybe even guilt.

Why?

Well, She would never recover that information. But that never stopped the curiosity from imagining the causes of such feelings.

For now, she resides in the forest, never questioning how she got to be here, but savouring every moment of it.
