background chapter: Jackline

I was born to a god of wisdom and a goddess of war. I was originally just a goddess of wisdom. throat my life I have done many things, great things, terrible things, things that I have been praised for by the masses, things that left no one alive to scorn me.

one day I was pretty young my parents had to leave me alone for about a week, I don't remember why, probably dealing with some of the assholes up top who think that their all high and mighty because they are 'major gods' and, therefore, better than the rest of us. anyway, as I was saying, my parents had to leave me alone for a couple months. some king my parents managed to piss off somehow got wind of this. he assembled an army and assaulted our home trying to kidnap or kill me to hurt my parents. they quickly and easily destroyed all the defences surrounding the building before heading inside. lucky for me our home was built like a giant maze and the army had to disperse inside of it in order to find me, whom they perceived to be a helpless child. as it was nighttime I was asleep when 2 soldiers happened to find their way to my room. when they tried to take me I bite one of their throats out with me teeth and through dirt from a potted plant, I keep next to my bed in the eyes of the other. before he could recover I took a knife from a sheath on the dead man and stabbed the blinded man in the heart with it.

being the goddess of wisdom I am I quickly realized what was happening. using a bit of magic to help me, I carry the bodies to a large storage room and put them in the center of it before sealing off the room so they wouldn't find the bodies too soon. I then proceed to systematically hunt down small groups of 2-3 soldiers and store the corpses in the room, creating a sizeable pile of corpses. halfway through I started to wish I had paid attention to fathers necromancy lessons. I continued to hunt down the soldiers for what must have been days, possibly even weeks, I lost track of time and didn't sleep much. I was found by some close friends that my parents sent to check on me. when they entered the house they saw blood stains on the walls and the floor which caused them to worry. they searched the house frantically till they found the door to the storage room, still sealed, and unsealed it. they found my childish frame sitting on a mountain of corpses, laughing.

the next thing I knew I was sitting in my bed with my parents next to me, I had slept for a month.

when they heard what had happened and that I was safe the first thing they did was go to this king's palace, my mother destroyed it before torturing the king to death. then my father used necromancy on the corpse before the soul could leave, turning him into a lich. while a lich doesn't feel as much pain as whatever he was before, think it was some kind of angelic, they are much more durable. my parents tortured my would-be murderer for days before his body finally gave up and he died, permanently this time.

as a result of this event, I became known by the title death incarnate, and I added death onto my realms of control. but that was centuries ago, I was a mere child then. had it been now I would have mearly caused all of their souls to depart, effectively killing them all more recently I have met a boy that piqued my interest, day after day he would wish for death but day after day he was denied deaths cold, sweet embrace. I watched him develop and grow. when he finally stopped wishing for death I showed myself to him, trying to befriend him, much to the ire of certain human girl, who I ended up befriending later.

urg, I was hoping for one of them that didn't have hundreds+ years of memories, she deserves a story just as long, if not much longer than this one.

the reason this chapter is late is because next week is finals so I had to study for my classes, expect the next one to be delayed as well.
