“Many sins I have Witnessed.
And in many indeed I have been.
Many a rat I’ve befriended.
And so many a thorn stood between.
But of all of the demons I’ve known,
None can compare to you.
Every day that you feed me with hate,
I grow stronger.”
- See The Light (Ghost)

TRIGGER WARNINGS:
VIOLENCE.

THE ATTACK::
She was born of a Titan. A Devastator who wanted to control the aspects of the world however she could.
And a nameless, faceless, nobody.
Her fur was bright white, angelic against the harsh red that covered the ground. She came out fighting- clawing her way from flesh and bones.
Then the rest of her years as a child was spent fighting. Fighting other children for food, for attention, for anything. She was fighting for anything and everything.
Then one day she was taken from the cave she grew up in- suddenly aged from a child to a lioness. With large white wings that almost didn’t fit her body and feathery growths from her limbs…. And face. She grew claws made of metal and her paw pads began to glow.
Then she was given a sword, made of a glowing material. Her mother taught her how to use it. Against anyone or anything that dared to enter their home. Their place that they had control.
She has used that sword everyday since. Spilling the blood of those who stood in their way and fought against them. She led cubs that had no place in the above to their deaths at the hands of hyenas in the below.
Then she had her Daughter. Her Beautiful daughter with the sunset in her body and her wings. A Caring daughter that reminded her of her home before the above. To a fault with her devotion and her apparent unwavering bravery. Just like herself. Bound to make a great defender of their home.
Until one day.
The skies grew dark with ashes, as lions from the depths crawled from broken cracks in the floor. Breaking apart her troops and crumbling their defenses. Before she knew it, there was a shrieking. A sobbing. Her daughters sobbing. She made a break for it- abandoning her post and landing unevenly on her shaking paws.
Before her sat her mangled daughter. Eyes torn from her scalp, face split almost down the middle. Calliope laid against the entrance. Twitching and gagging on her gashed throat. A few meters away there was this sickening crunching sound of flesh being torn from bone. Her eyes, wide and wild darted towards it to see a small, all black cub with piercing eyes crouched over their attacker.
Tearing their dead flesh from bones and eating it as if it were prey, the cub's eyes flashed up to her wildly before turning back to its kill as she shuddered.
Then her daughter let out another heartbreaking sob.
"Mommy-'
She whimpered, as Aneila dipped her head. Placing her scarred muzzle against her daughters. Ears pinning back against her head as she whispered. Her heavenly light swirling around the two of them, aiming to comfort her daughter as the wounds slowly began to heal. Before a harsh, cold voice cut through her softness,
"I knew you were soft. Abandoning your post for this creature who couldn't even fend off a single attacker? She has dug her grave with her weakness. So has Calliope. Let her lay in her pit."
Aneila felt an anger bubble in her chest as she bared her fangs to her own mother, tail lashing as a light gold smoke leaked from her mouth. How could her own mother say this about her grandchild? About HER child. She growled.
"She and Calliope may still be useful. They can look after the next runts you decide to curse us with. Just LOOk at that freak eating one of those things over there. Dysis can still....she can still-- they can have my healing, give it to them and make Dysis a sage. Like Elera... make her something other than a soldier- Mother. Please."
Her anger turned to desperation with the look on her mothers face. Eyes closing as she dipped her head back down to her daughters, tears blessing her face with a golden glow as more smoke slithered from her mouth. Swirling around the cave and healing the wounds of Dysis and Calliope.
She heard her mothers claws against the cave floor, approaching her as suddenly a searing pain filled her skull and she crumbled down on herself. The golden smoke now filled her mothers eyes as she huffed, exhaling it out of her nose. Utopias bent down and exhaled in Dysis' face, filling her lungs with the smoke. Her eyes, foggy and damaged, flew open, a golden shimmer over them.
Utopias then walked to calliope, repeating the whole process as she spoke, eyes glaring harshly at Aneila laying on the ground.
"One more chance. It is all they get to prove useful. If they fail.. I will put it on your head to dispose of them both.'
Aneila felt the tears that stained her pelt start to dry as she slowly got up, she felt like part of her had been stripped away. A part of her that was still connected to her home in the below was gone. She was nothing but a servant of The Above now. She nodded as she glanced at Dysis, who was still rolling from the loss of her eyesight, before looking back at her mother. She bowed her head and said a small,
"Thank you. Mother."

FUN FACTS:
-She had been born with healing powers, but they weren’t given to her by Utopias. They were actually given to her by her other mother who was a shaman in the below. Utopias had used her for years as a healer for her defenders before Aneila was born. Then she kidnapped her. (Might write a detailed story about this)
