AVISHI part 1
Hi…, my name is Avishi, this name was given to me (the priestess of poison) at the alter of adult passage in my clan. my mother was a very strong scorpion, She was so big and beautiful that no other scorpion could be compared to her, but when I was born, according to my mother some of us were chosen to be part of the scared scorpion prince bride, so I went with the others at that moment, this was because we were born with a humanoid from birth.
I later found out that the selection process for becoming the scorpion prince bride was all based on qualification and so many of my sisters did not have that qualification, so a lot of them failed to be chosen, but when it came to my turn and I came on stage, where the marriage ritual was to be performed, what I saw in front of me was an teenage boy that had three scorpion tails behind him.
I was surprised because normally scorpions only have one, he looked at me up and down then nodded its head up and down. At that moment I was accepted,..... however….. my joy was cut short, when the scorpion price began to perform the marriage ritual, the markings on my body suddenly became fragmented because of the negative power of the ritual, so the ritual failed and I failed the trial.
No one knew why, but those who fail the selection were sent out into the lower parts of the other regions of this forest in other to train themself to better bring out their potential. Some may even die on their way but those with great potential were looked after by seniors of our clan secretly.
My mother was protecting me in secret, for some reason I could feel it through my markings but could not call her out to help me even when I was in danger.
I hunted in the lower region for some time before making my first friend, which looked like those creatures my mother call human. she was different because she had flames all over her body, she was practically made of flames. I told her about my dreams and how I would marry the strongest scorpion in the forest one day, but just after saying that, I saw the sad look in her eyes, I tried to comfort her by saying that I will let her marry my husband too.
We got along well for 3 year as we played and hunted together, but one day we were ambushed by a pack of hell wolfs and almost died, if not for the help of my mother that came and saved us, we would have lost our life's, she killed all the wolfs and saved me but in doing that she broke the rule of not helping potential candidate.
but Because of how strong my mother was, and also because of the fact that they could not do anything to her. They decide not to kill me as in accordance to the rule of the clan, but I was sent to a higher area to train as a form of punishment for my mother's intervention, and that was the last time I sensed my mother.
I stayed there for 2 year, hunting and surviving, from my experiences and some extremely close accident, the kind that almost took my life multiple times, but still managed to survive. Sometimes if I think of all the hardships I am going through, I can't help but feel a little sad. Most of the time, I tried to sense my mother, maybe she was there still watching and protecting me in secret but no matter how hard I tried I could not sense or find her.
I knew she was punished for helping me or something came up that she needed to attend to so she hard to live me for now, I tried to convince myself with this words, trying not to think that I was abandoned by my mother to die in this stupid forest. After some time, and I felt that the training should be coming to an end soon and our guardian was supposed to bring us back home, I became very happy, because I would soon see my mother again. so I decided wait for them or maybe it would be my mom that will come to get me.
Hours turned to days, then days turned to mouths, and mouths turn to years, for a long time I could not find anyone coming for me, this made me get very worried that maybe something might has happened to my mother, but I still decided to wait. I once tried to go to higher areas, but because of the grades of monsters that lived there. I could not even get pass the layer I am in.
On my training in this forest, I was able to meet a lot of different monsters both intelligent and non-intelligent, and also faced many situations that strength alone cannot get you out of. All this event provided me with a lot of life experience which matured me a little.
i meet a lot of thing which got me to know a lot, like what I recently found out that those who's markings or tattoo are destroy are called the fallen. Which signifies the fall of favor or the down grading of the blood line of the monster kind and if such a monster is to be allow to live in the clan, he or she will bring great harm and disgrace to other members of that clan and might even a bring the destruction of `the clan.
It also affect the person as he or she will be hated by other beasts and monster for no reason and almost all kind of creatures will be aggressive, thereby making them more violent toward him or her. And to be completely honest this has happened to me a lot.
