#vaeternian

The older sister to Kasomira, the mother of Nitara; who would do anything to protect her loved ones. Aldith would be trained and utilized the Vaeternian Chain whip of Courage.

She was best known for being an inspiration and at one point one of Vaeternian’s strongest champions. Her monarchs and their Daughter as well saw her as pure hearted soul who wished to protect all life.

She idolized her family including her sister Kasomira who aspired to have a family one day with her husband. Aldith wanted a safe Vaeterneus for her sister and for all the people of Vaeterneus.

Everything changed when Norah, the light realm would challenge Vaeternius in Mortal Kombat. Aldith and several of Vaeterneus’ strongest warriors fought against Norah’s strongest champions, the crusaders. The crusaders who were manipulated by Norah’s protector god Dahish; feared the darkness of Varterneus. Dahish manipulated them to believe that Vaeterneus sought to corrupt and conquer their realm and turn it into a desolate place where the Norans would die.

Aldith and several Vaeternian warriors would fight in the war to protect their fellow Vaeternian brethren. They were successful as the elder gods and even several Norans urged for a peace treaty.

For a moment it the peace treaty was nearly signed but it was broken by a Vaeternian known as Dorian. Dorian was captivated by the Akari; the Noran equivalent of the Jinsei.

He was consumed by the ideas of corrupting it to restore his vanity, he then murdered the father of Abraham Van Daw, the mage and blade smith of Norah. Abraham then casted a ritual known as Hara Kiri; where he infused his soul with a blade that was forged in Norah; the Datusha.

This caused the treaty to be broken with Aldith commanding a troop of her forces in the war. Aldith fought bravely, to keep Vaeternius safe, and to prevent the Norans from killing Vaeterneus. Aldith was successful until a Noran held Datusha blinded by Abraham’s rage.

Aldith could sense the intense hatred for Vaeternians and beings with beast like appearances. Aldith, not wanting to take the life of someone who had no free will, did so. But in that moment of hesitation Aldith was stabbed by the Kriss. but not before taking her killer with her. In her dying words she urged both sides to make peace.

Forces from the beast realm known as Xaa arrived thanks to the monarchs of Vaeterneus and Kasomira to even the odds. Kasomira cradled her sister tenderly, promising her that Norah will no longer invade Vaeternus.

Aldith would be buried with a statue and even stories tell of her life. Nitara herself would treasure the stories of her aunt and held them close. To many who knew her; Aldith can be best regarded as a true vaeternian hero; one who assured protection of their people, but a kind soul to all.

Notes:

Before M1K was released Aldith was originally going to be the mother of Nitara for my fic. However not only was Nitara revealed for the game but so was her mother that goes by the name Kasomira.

Naturally some stuff needed to be changed so I made her Kasomira’s older sister. The drawing showcases both sisters done by a good friend @odie1441 who is making her own au as well. Special thanks to her who will also be including Aldith in her au. And @etherealada05 for her OC Valentina

Xaa, Dorian, and Abraham will be expanded upon soon. I also decided to name the Noran Jinsei the Akari which means light in Japanese; Decided to name it that after MK Onslaught named the outworld Jinsei the Seikatu.

Theme

A Vaeternian who was known for his vanity and appearance. He was praised for it, many saw he had kind intentions, was respected by many, and he enjoyed the praise. Overtime he was consumed and obsessed with his striking appearance causing him to become selfish. He destroyed all his relationships with friends, potential lovers, and his family.

He would begin to seek ancient Vaeternian magics and texts from the Vaeternian god Chisuke to keep his youth as he feared the thought of becoming older. He would create a potion which horribly scarred him with half of his face becoming disfigured.

He would have a split personality and hid in the caverns of Vaeterneus fearing he lost everything that made him special among everyone. During this time the war of the Undying light began between Norah Vaeterneus. As he hid in the caverns, he heard about the news of the Norah. Most importantly the Akari, while it is harmful to Vaeterneus, what if it can be reversed and cure his affliction to restore his appearance.

Not to mention if he could corrupt it, what if he could be hailed as a hero and restore his reputation. He wasted no time, killing a vaeternian knight and assuming his armor as he went with Aldith and the others to Norah for the peace treaty.

Dorian snuck off and found the Akari, he could feel the energies. The thoughts of corrupting it may prove useful in not only restoring his appearance but keeping it for eternity. Just then the father of Norah’s blacksmith caught Dorian where Dorian killed him, ending the peace treaty.

Dorian would steal a sample but was successful in restoring half of his appearance. He would escape and he faded into obscurity. He would stay forever hidden in the caverns of Vaeterneus soon becoming merged into Outworld. Though whoever were to enter it, is likely not surviving.

Many who enter the cavern could only hear Dorian’s screams of lonliness, agony, and despair. He shouts for his precious he wants the Akari and would identify it as his precious. To him the Akari is what he desires; his longevity and appearance.

All is not lost though; Dorian would hear rumors of an ancient lantern welded by a Eukaryonite known as Wyatt along with his companion Leila. Dorian would seek this lantern to restore his appearance at any means necessary even if it means endangering other lives for his sake.
