Pillar

The Essence of Stardust

Pillar had a high opinion of herself from the moment she joined The Moon Cult. She claimed to have hailed from a realm beyond the stars, and that she contained some of its magic essence within her. Privy to her tendency of running her snout, the Cult's eldest commanded the Warriors to fight Pillar, as a way to 'remind her of her place' in the organization.

To their shock, Pillar's claims didn't merely serve as a bluff. While she wasn't as strong as some of the Warriors, her speed was unparalleled. She fought like a shooting star, with long, stabbing talons like crescent moons. They were so striking, so symbolic to the Cult. Was it a coincidence, or something more?

Pillar was impossible to hit, and could leap great heights and distances to slash at her opponents. After tearing open Conqueror's back--the resulting wound of which would develop into a permanent infection, forcing him into retirement--the elders halted the fights before anyone else could be mortally injured. Without a word, silent with fear and awe, they took the Warriors to the Healers. Pillar was left alone, in the Battle Ring, her eyes flaming and wavering with mysterious green energy. She'd risen up the ranks faster than any dragon before her.

A deep, alluring, feminine voice slithered through her mind, "You have done well, my servant, my Essence of Stardust. Now go forth, and be of great use to me."

And from that moment, Pillar understood she was now the Leader of The Moon Cult.
