Void Touched Transformation
"A scream rings out in the bustling city. The dead of night's ere silence was broken by the horrific sounds of murder and death as someone's life is viciously torn appart piece by piece. When help finally arrives, it's already too late, and both parents are killed. The mother is torn appart from the inside, and the father is laying in a pile of his own entrails. The only living creature in the room is the child curled up in the corner of the room. The child however, is covered in the vicera of their parents, and appears to be made of blackened bone and purple crystal in the shape of a mutated and otherwordly creature. Their eyes darkened voids, save for a solid ring of bright violet purple... And of course, that's how I was born. My father sacrificed my mother to make me the vassel of his new god. But he screwed up the ritual and instead I turned into a monster, but my soul remained mostly intact. Honestly I don't know why the guards didn't kill me then and there. I suppose I should thank my grandparents for choosing to raise me instead of execute me... Oh well. Now what can I get you?" -Natamara Pride Covengrove.
