Circe and Achlys are half siblings. Achlys being the eldest and Circe the youngest.
Circe was born out of a sin. Their mother, Black Mamba, cheated on Achlys' father and ended up pregnant with Circe.
Achlys' father, Arthas- neglected Circe her entire cub life. Excluding her, harming her verbally, physically and mentally. He would go as far as abusing Black Mamba if she showed any love to her daughter Circe. Achlys followed her fathers example and shamed Circe, desperate to please her father, in disgust of her mother for betraying Arthas.
Achlys' was treated with royalty by her parents. She was the definition of perfection in Arthas' eyes, and so he treated her as such, as did Black Mamba, while trying to secretly share her love with Circe.
As for Circe's father, Prometheus- he was Black Mamba's one true love and he felt the same way about her. Black Mamba gifted Prometheus the snake of Passion shortly after their affair began. Their affair came to a close when Circe was born a Piebald... NOT related to Arthas... Arthas quickly connected the dots and forced their affair to end. Prometheus' near death experience with Arthas encouraged him to abandon his mistress and his new born daughter.
Not long after his departure from Black Mamba, the Snake of Passion began whispering sweet nothing's into his ear. The same sweet voice Black Mamba has... The same thing's she'd whisper to him on sleepless nights. The snake became Black Mamba's way of speaking to her true love and keeping in touch with him, where ever he may be.
- TIME SKIP -
Circe and Achlys both young adults. Circe a year old and Achlys only a year ahead of her, 2.
Arthas discovered the affair between Mamba and Prometheus was still ongoing. The anger in him was too powerful and Black Mamba's life came to an end and the snake entangled around Prometheus went silent...
Mamba's beloved snakes clung to her body, in hopes the warmth she'd give would return. But all they could feel was a cold chill. Her companions no longer had their Queen's care, and so they too, would die in the frost bitten winter.
Enraged, Arthas turned his anger to Circe, who was sobbing near her mothers lifeless body. He began attacks on Circe, who relieved herself from them as soon as she was able to. Before she'd flee her home, Circe took her mothers Black Rabbit Fur Cloak, the only thing she has of her mother to this day.
Achlys was sad for her mother. But she was her father's little girl and so she acted as such. Her mother betrayed him and crushed his heart. Seeing her father's pain made Achlys bitter towards her mother, and so she grew to believe she deserved her death. As for her sister? Circe was just an object of her fathers pain. Which made Achlys despise Circe, as well.
Circe struggled to raise herself. She struggled to hunt, to find shelter, to find water... she struggled to survive. But most importantly, she needed guidance. Her father could sense this, as he was spiritually connected to her. While alone, Circe stumbled upon a tall, hooved mammal. It's eyes gray, but bright, dark, long horns atop it's head, with a long tail like her own. Immediately, Circe felt a strong pull- a connection. It was her father's own companion. It found her and he spoke wise words to her through it, it delivered the guidance she needed... Her father was there for her. From that point on, Circe grew into a beautiful, strong, independent princess.
-TIME SKIP-
A few years have passed. Both Princesses have gone about their own lives...
Achlys lived care-free, a Queen of her own pride, successful and happy.
Although, Circe... Circe was still vengeful of her mother and herself. The burning hatred for Arthas grew in her as the years went on. The longer he was alive, the more she had the desire to do something about it.
And she did... Circe murdered her step-father in a cruel winter blizzard, just like he did her mother.
From that point on, Achlys and Circe have had constant rivalry any time they cross paths. Whether it be unintentional or one seeks out to murder the other...
Ah, well I had a sketch of one of the dad's and their daughter sitting together but i was waiting for you to get back to me about his markings :T oh well
you're very welcome! It was honestly so much fun doing their designs and the fire, but it took a lot of time because I'm not so good at doing everything through one sitting. Thank you for liking it!
