Ft. @fernnshxj’s oc Miori lol

when Gortash and Alodia first started ruling together (and subsequently their fake courtship) Alodia had attempted to poison Gortash multiple times, which he avoided by being so paranoid he had staff try all the food and drink he didn't do himself before he did (they lost quite a lot of staff that month). So in return, gortash had attempted to track down her parents and kill them, only to find she had beat him to it, about a decade before hand.

Iuris lies dead in the ground. A god without a heart cannot live, and hers has been thoroughly destroyed. Of course, she wasn't always dead. She lived a long life, one with many titles. The Shining Star, the God of Order, Apotheosis, a corpse in the ground.

Alodia walks up to the grave, shovel in hand. She laid dead once, too. Not just once, of course. This is... which life this is, she's lost track. Perhaps she finally hit the one hundred and fifty mark. After dying twenty times, you tend to lose track of the rest.

Iuris lies dead in the ground. She was slain by a brave party of heroes, ones who wanted to see the sky. A shame, really. She thought she was doing the right thing, she would bring them all to paradise. No use mulling over the past, though. You can't do that when you're dead.

Alodia sighs and hefts the shovel, stabbing it down into the ground and planting a foot on it to push further down. Years ago, she would have had someone else do this for her. A loyal employee, or maybe another one of her clones. She doesn't have any of that anymore. She's dead, after all. Now she just has herself, the last of her magitech, and the grave she has been searching for.

Iuris lies dead in the ground. She didn't know it was inevitable. Why would she? All those stories with heroes and villains, the hero triumphs and restores the world to peace. She just didn't realize that she was not the hero.

Alodia pants with exertion, stopping as her shovel hits something. That's it. That's her. Her fated enemy, the guiding star that had guided her hatred for so long and eventually led to her downfall. She takes a moment to wipe the sweat off her brow, then gets to work unearthing her.

Iuris lies dead. She is in a casket, a form of burial rarely offered to slain gods. Her killers were kind enough to just slay her, and not devour her body like she had done to the god before her. Although most of her followers had perished and many others were in hiding for trying to help her destroy the world, the few who remained had managed to make a convincing plea for allowing her to be buried with dignity.

Alodia drags the casket to her truck, later unloading it at her base. The preparations are all completed, and as she clicks the casket open and sees her enemy's decaying face all she can do is smile. She doesn't believe in soulmates, but if she did... well, that wouldn't matter. Iuris's soul was destroyed, so an artificial one will have to do.

Sirius's eyes flicker open, a new life entering her body as her eyes adjust to Alodia's dim laboratory. She... died? She can remember dying, but everything else is gone. Who is this woman smiling at her, and why does she feel familiar? Sirius shakes her head to try and remember, but the only sensation she gets is the sound of the unfamiliar woman's voice.

I know your voice. I've heard it before.

A gift for a friend! I honestly liked how this one turned out, I wanna challenge myself by doing difficult poses and backgrounds.
