Krixa
"You have been weighed. You have been measured. You have been found wanting. Now, pick up your blade and let us begin. You are destined to become less than a memory."
A voice from your fears
Moving with the menace of a sword yet drawn, a figure cloaked in red with eyes burning like stubborn embers walks across battlefields, her gaze as the thunder heralding a storm that one wished would never arrive. Neither tall nor small, yet her presence is almost suffocating with the weight of inevitability that settles on her surroundings. Those who lay eyes on the Crimson Commander understand a simple truth: that she is there to bring an end and that you can only hope that it isn't yours. Though her actions are fierce and decisive, they are not cruel. They are, instead, the unsettling embrace of a season change; necessary, if jarring, like winter's breath snuffing out the last embers of autumn.A sharp silence between your ears
Krixa does not fight the wars of mortals, even if, as she brings an end to those that are no longer required to grace existence, those wars have a tendency to end as well. Her actions are done as the removed have earned, as not all who are removed are monsters. If you have earned an honourable death, you shall be granted one. If not, you shall know suffering. In the quiet that follows her passage, in air thickened by reverence and dread, tales are spun that whisper her deeds as though they were ancient prophecies. Tales of cities turned to ash, of warriors who met their fates with a mixture of defiance and acceptance. She isn’t simply a goddess of destruction, but rather the sort of figure that could make the entire concept of “the end” feel remarkably personal. One might even say she is the universe’s way of reminding everyone that not all stories conclude neatly; some require a sharp, decisive cut. As she walks, the ground beneath her seems to sigh in relief, knowing that in her wake lay not just destruction, but a strange, unsettling sort of clarity.
