Goddess Alexandria (she/her) of Antiqua transformed from the onset of Soul Putrification caused by the Inversion Event.
Short story below!
That day, Alexandria was preparing to descend to the Mundane Realm when it happened. In the armory of her home, she assembled her gear with her sword in tow and was ready to meet with her men when something felt deeply off. As an ascended Goddess of War, she has connections to the magical ether of reality. She can feel all its ripples, from the heightened emotions of her mortal followers to the ebb and flow of battles throughout the Mundane Realm. As a Goddess of War, she must watch over the wars and conflicts of mortalkind. Yet this feeling, this strange force invaded every part of her senses.
She remembered that strange radiant light and her shock as it enveloped her. Then the searing heat and crushing pressure surrounded every part of her body from the inside out. The pain as stone crept up her body. Her scream silenced by an all-consuming void.
She watched as her body grew rigid as the world around her burned to ashes. She heard the screams of other gods as they fell to the same fate. Then she felt a suffocating pull as her soul tears itself from her stone body.
When Alexandria woke up, she was lying on the floor surrounded by ash, dust, and stone. There’s energy in the air, but it feels sick and wrong. Her body feels far too stiff, but she still has her magic. She lifted herself, an unusually easy feat until she saw the result of the light that took everything from her.
A statue of herself loomed before her, frozen mid-walk with one raised broken arm with a missing hand. As realization begins to crawl into her mind, Alexandria rushes away to find the nearest mirror in her ruined home that now lies shattered on the ground. Grabbing a partially burnt cloth, she wipes off the largest piece of broken mirror. She wept as she saw a crying living sword looking back at her.
