⋆‧°𓏲𝄢 My OC-centred blog in which I'll dump everything OC-related (which will be very helpful to me... Because I tend to forget stuff lol) and hopefully have a good time!!
The white porcelain of the bathtub felt freezing against her skin, but Memori barely registered the temperature. She sat in the shallow, lukewarm water, her back leaning against the tiled wall of the facility’s private quarters. Her platinum hair was damp, sticking to her neck in flat, tangled strands. Her mind was a vast, empty room of white noise, completely silent and devoid of any internal thoughts as she focused on the mechanical motion of washing her arms.
Then, she stood up to reach for a towel.
The physical movement triggered the reaction instantly: a sudden, violent drop in her blood pressure sent a massive wave of severe dizziness crashing through her brain. The entire bathroom tilted violently to the left. The tiled walls and the porcelain edge of the tub stretched into impossibly blurred, geometric shapes in her vision, and her footing vanished entirely.
Memori slipped, her body crashing heavily back into the tub. Her shoulder slammed against the porcelain, and her head hit the tiled wall with a dull thud. Water splashed over the rim, pooling onto the concrete floor.
Her face remained completely flat, an apathetic mask untouched by panic or surprise. She lay tangled in the shallow water, one hand pressing against the right side of her chest as her heart gave an irregular, suffocating throb. Her eyes were wide and glazed over, staring blankly at the ceiling as she waited for the spinning to stop.
In the middle of her absolute silence, a heavy, familiar sound forced its way into her ears.
The steady dripping of the leaky faucet vanished, completely swallowed by the deafening, metallic scraping of heavy iron chains dragging across the bathroom floor. In her distorted peripheral vision, the shadows cast by the sink and the towel racks began to bleed upward, twisting lazily along the wet tiles until they formed the unmistakable, towering silhouette of curved goat horns and a segmented scorpion stinger.
From the darkest corner of the ceiling, a freezing, pitch-black smoke cascaded downward, pooling into the water around her legs like liquid ink.
"Look at you", Zillah’s voice murmured directly into the center of her quiet mind, his tone lazy, dragged-out, and thoroughly amused by her clumsiness. "The brilliant little sheep, defeated by a standard porcelain basin. You really are such a fragile thing, aren't you? One bad step and my favourite pet nearly cracks her skull open".
Memori didn't move. She lay perfectly still in the water, her deadpan gaze remaining fixed on the ceiling tiles. She had no thoughts to offer him, no internal monologue to complain about the bruising on her shoulder.
"Oh, giving me the silent treatment again?", Zillah sardonically laughed, the phantom chains tightening with a sharp, echoing snap against her eardrums. "Go on then, stay down there. Let the water get cold. Let's see if they have to come break the door down just to fish your lifeless body out of the drain".
Memori slowly parted her lips, her voice a flat, blunt whisper that echoed softly against the empty bathroom tiles.
"Shut up. The floor is spinning."
"Then stop looking at it", Zillah chuckled, a low, dry sound that resonated at the back of her head as the black smoke began to lazily thin out. "Take your time. Sit tight. I'll just stay here and enjoy the feeling of your heart failing".
Memori closed her eyes, her hand remaining pressed against her chest as the numbing white noise of her mind slowly began to stabilize her vision, while the phantom rattling of the chains lazily faded back into the dark corners of the room.
As she tried to shift her weight, a sharp, stinging sensation sliced through the numbness on her thigh. The violent impact of her fall had torn open the clumsy stitches from their last dirty-work mission. Slowly, a dark, thick ribbon of crimson began to uncoil from her skin, bleeding heavily into the clear water. Within moments, the pristine white of the porcelain tub was consumed, swirling into a dense, ominous red.
Memori didn't flinch. She watched the water turn to wine with cold, detached curiosity.
With a slow, mechanical effort, she dragged her wet arm over the slick rim of the tub, ignoring the blood dragging along her skin. Her fingertips scraped blindly across the damp concrete floor until they finally brushed against the small plastic bottle of NX-00 that had rolled off the counter during her fall. Her fingers twitched, gripping the plastic with a rigid, automated precision.
"There it is", Zillah’s voice murmured directly into the center of her quiet mind, his phantom chains giving a lazy, slow rattle against her eardrums. "Go on, Pet. Take your poison".
Memori didn't answer him. She didn't have the energy or the desire to formulate a thought. Using her wet fingers, she pried the cap off the vial. Her vision blurred again, a sudden, blinding flash of gray that threatened to pull her under, and her heart gave a terrifyingly hollow flutter. Mechanically, without an ounce of hesitation, her fingers shook three pills out into her palm instead of one. She just wanted the noise to stop. She wanted the room to freeze.
The lazy rattle of the chains snapped brutally tight in her head. The lazy, mocking tone vanished from her mind, replaced by an immediate, dangerous hiss as the black smoke around her legs boiled against the crimson water.
"Do not go overboard again", Zillah whispered, the simple, flat warning carrying a sudden, cold weight that vibrated against her skull. "Put them back."
Memori paused, her hand hovering above her open mouth, her deadpan platinum eyes staring unblinkingly at the red water. Her mind remained completely vacant of fear. Slowly, deliberately, she tilted her hand backward, letting all three of the chemical tablets drop back through the plastic neck of the vial.
She twisted the cap shut, tossing the bottle onto the concrete floor with a soft plastic click. She wasn't going to take any of them.
As the crushing pressure around her ribs tightened and the severe dizziness threatened to erase her vision entirely, her dull expression cracked. A rare, bitter, and darkly amused smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. She leaned her head back against the frozen porcelain, letting her body sink a fraction deeper into the blood-red bath. Her voice was a flat, breathy murmur that carried absolutely no warmth.
"Hm? Do you want to keep me company?"
The absolute silence inside her head stretched, the phantom iron chains giving a faint, stunned rattle against her skull as Zillah processed her refusal to run back behind her chemical dam. The black smoke coiled tighter around the rim of the tub, turning the crimson water freezing cold.
"Do not attempt to drown either", Zillah sibilated, his tone dropping into a sharp, rigid warning that echoed heavily in her mind. "i have no intention of letting my pet dissolve in a pool of her own waste".
Memori didn't answer him, her amused smirk slowly fading back into her usual baseline of absolute vacancy as she let her head rest against the porcelain, entirely unbothered by his threat while the blood continued to swirl in the water.
DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL DEVELOPMENT AND ASSET CONTROL
The following document details the technical specifications of the customized pharmaceuticals and laboratory observations regarding the three biological assets.
Subject exhibits visual and auditory acuity that far exceeds registered limits in any known hominid. His night vision is absolute; total darkness does not affect his target-locking capabilities at long distances in the slightest. In fact, he operates with higher precision in pitch-black environments.
However, the massive dose of pureblood blood has generated photosensitivity in his corneas and epidermal tissue. Direct exposure to daylight triggers incapacitating migraines and immediate second-degree burns. Additionally, the subject displays an acute and violent anthropophagic (cannibalistic) urge.
The RC-03 drug acts as an intravenous/oral synthetic solar filter and an aggressiveness suppressor. It temporarily neutralizes ocular pain caused by daylight and numbs his taste buds to mitigate his hunger for human flesh outside the battlefield.
DEPENDENCY LINK: NONE. The subject's vampiric metabolism incinerates the chemical compounds in less than 4 hours. It does not generate addiction. Control over this subject must be maintained through meat/blood rationing or light deprivation.
Biological Status: Perfect biological amalgam. Absolute cellular balance between human DNA and pureblood vampire cells.
[PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR NOTES]
Subject is the cleanest biological success of this project. He has inherited the strength, speed, and regeneration of the vampiric specimen without any of its traditional weaknesses. The subject is completely immune to sunlight and retains his heightened senses in a stable manner. His psychology mimics canine (specifically vulpine) behaviors: cunning, territorial and overly confident.
The RX-07 drug is not administered out of medical necessity, but for the safety of our personnel. It is a pill of beta-blockers and adrenaline modulators designed to place an artificial "ceiling" on his strength spikes and regulate his arrogant temperament during missions that require discretion.
DEPENDENCY LINK: NONE. His hybrid immune system flushes the medication out as if it were a common toxin. The subject frequently fakes ingesting the drug. Strict visual surveillance is mandatory during dosage administration.
Subject's body violently expelled the pureblood vampire blood upon injection. However, the residual trauma of the experiment has left severe cardiovascular and neurological aftereffects. The incompatibility triggers violent spikes of acute, crushing pain in her heart, alongside severe, chronic dizziness caused by sudden drops in blood pressure.
To ensure the asset remains operational, we have provided her with the NX-00 formula, which we have classified and labeled for her as high-potency "painkillers."
The failed injection awakened her congenital mystical trait (Nox Lineage / Umbrakinesis). The acute heart pains occur because the "holy" shadow energy of Primordinus Zillah is trying to expand, placing immense pressure on her human cardiovascular system. The dizziness is a direct result of her brain trying to process the visual distortion of the shadow realm.
The NX-00 painkillers act as a chemical anchor. They constrict the shadow energy, numb the excruciating heart receptors, and stabilize her inner ear to eliminate the dizziness.
DEPENDENCY LINK: CRITICAL. Because her human body lacks vampiric regeneration, her central nervous system has become entirely dependent on these "painkillers" to function.
If she misses a dose, the acute heart pain returns with enough force to mimic a myocardial infarction, the dizziness leaves her completely incapacitated. We will continue to control the Subject by rationing her painkillers.
Unfinished snippet... Except that YOU are Memori (it's written in 2nd person)
A white envelope with "To Memori Nox" written on it is placed on your desk, sealed with a too familiar red wax that makes you remember your childhood. You open it, reading the minimalist and hardly unique invitation in black ink:
Join us for the 22th annual
CHARITY BALL
In celebration of Holy Day
Wednesday, 24th December 134 a.D.
From 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock
The Whitehall House
Dress code: holy
The classic Holy Ball full of gossipers and crazed believers. And of course you're assisting. It's been what, a decade since you last went to one? You kind of miss the smell of expensive alcohol and overwhelming cologne.
"William," you call your ever loyal butler that just entered into your office. "Do you still know how to dance and act all polite with arrogant people?" you ask, your tone teasing but serious.
William raises an eyebrow, a questioning look settling on his face. Nevertheless, he replies in a slightly amused tone, “If I may inquire, why do you ask, Milady?” He approaches your desk, placing a delicate cup of tea, its white porcelain reflecting your golden eye like a sparkling treasure.
"But to answer your question, Milady, I believe I am still able to dance and 'act all polite with arrogant people'. It is a skill I have to use everyday, even now." He shows a small smile, tilting his head innocently.
"Are you implying anything?” you ask, crossing your arms, narrowing your eyes playfully at your butler. You lean back in your chair, feigning a fierceness that only William finds amusing.
"Of course I am not, Milady," William quickly says, bowing slightly. "I was merely joking. Don't take the words of a ridiculous butler into account."
You stifle a laugh, demeanor instantly softening. "Well, you better be prepared, because we are going to the oh-so-holy, Holy Ball." You stop straighting your back and completely fall into the chair. "Which means fancy dresses and even more fancy people. Judging eyes everywhere and ladies that'll surely intent to court you, ignoring your reputation as a butler."
William chuckles, the sound rich and warm. “I assure you, my reputation as a butler is well-respected, though I’m flattered you think I’m worthy of courtship.” He walks over to you with an elegant grace, assessing you with playful eyes. “What type of gown do you envision for this grand ball?”
"Yeah, I say that 'cause last time, you were more the centre of attention than the Host himself." You roll your eyes light-heartedly at the memory. "And for the gown, you know I never chose them myself. They were always chosen by my mother, so..."
You tap your nails on the dark wood surface, the clicking sound echoing through your now silent office. You drag the moment for a little longer, before announcing cheerfully:
"Necromancy's not exactly legal, so you choose!" you declare, waving your hands. "You have that elegant eye for fashion, I'm sure. The important thing is to choose it for me, if the others need your help, then go ahead and choose for them too, but y'know. Just make sure it's 'holy' or whatever that means."
"Yes, Milady," William obeys with a bow. "Shall I contact Ms. Angela?"
"Oh, right!" You totally didn't forget about the fashion designer that literally made and designed most of your wardrobe. Yup. That's embarrassing. "Call her over. It's been a while since we saw each other anyway. She'll be enlightened to design another art piece, I'm sure."
I just found a notebook in which I pretended to write Memori's diary (with the old lore) and I wanted to transcript the content here lol As always... Rough translation from Spanish!
Cursive font means smudged, hurried writing

RED PLAGUE:
Symptoms: cough (maybe bronchits), high fever (last days), nausea, dizziness.
Stage 1: First 5-10 days.
Pale skin, reddish, goosebumps, occasional nausea (6,10 6/10)
CARMILLA is a vision of hypnotic elegance and danger. Her long, white hair cascades just to her chest, smooth and luminous, framing a face both exquisite and unreadable. Her eyes are a vivid red, smoldering with intensity and intelligence, while her lips —painted a dark, seductive shade— contrast strikingly against her moonlight pale skin. Every glance is deliberate, every smile a calculated temptation.
Her wardrobe speaks volumes of her power and taste: a deep crimson mermaid gown that hugs her figure, accentuating her hourglass silhouette with a scrunched waist. The plunging neckline offers a subtle invitation, while the high slit reveals sleek black heels, each step deliberate and poised. Her stiletto nails are a masterpiece of black and red, shimmering with a hypnotic sfumatura that catches light and attention alike.
Carmilla’s personality mirrors her appearance: classy, composed and dangerously alluring. She speaks in a low, lilting tone that draws listeners in, her words polished yet edged with subtle poison, flattery that could wound or manipulate. Her cool-headed nature ensures she rarely loses control, making her as intimidating as she is captivating.
She is the owner of the Midnight Club, a sanctuary where humans curious about the vampire world mingle with vampires themselves. Despite the bustling environment she oversees, Carmilla prefers discretion, rarely granting audiences and keeping her own affairs private. Her presence in the club is like a shadow: felt, never fully seen. She wields influence with quiet precision, a master of the delicate dance between allure and authority.
Carmilla possesses a rare and unnerving power over the minds of humans: with nothing more than a glance into their eyes, she can read their thoughts and deepest desires. For humans, this ability is nearly effortless, allowing her to uncover secrets, gauge intentions or subtly manipulate emotions without a word. Vampires, however, are more resistant —while her own clan is easily perceived, members of other clans require greater effort and focus for her intrusion to succeed. The act is intimate and precise, matching her cool, controlled demeanor: she does not need to touch or taste blood, and yet her presence alone commands awareness, fascination and, often, silent obedience.

DAMIANO is a striking figure, even among the unholy few. His platinum hair is straight, sleek, and silky, falling just below his ears, with the top half pulled back in a tidy half updo secured by a crimson bow —a subtle, playful nod to his personality. His eyes are a vivid, penetrating red, glinting with mischief and charm, a reflection of his eternal curiosity and lightly teasing nature. A signature smirk often graces his lips, sharp and confident, hinting at a personality that thrives on the unknown and unpredictable.
His features are precise and arresting: high cheekbones, a strong jawline and delicate lines that give him an ageless, alluring beauty. He dresses in dark, elegant attire befitting his vampiric station. Crisp white shirt tucked into straight-leg trousers are paired with tailored vests, leather shoes, and muted, shadowy tones —black, deep burgundy— reflecting both his sophistication and his identity as a pureblood. Every detail is deliberate, though never ostentatious; it’s effortlessly him.
Despite his deadly and eternal nature, Damiano carries a quiet melancholy. He once loved a human maiden, whose brief life and untimely death left him in a state of eternal mourning. Her memory is a soft ache, one that shaped him profoundly: he ceased creating new vampires, instead offering his blood to trusted followers who have earned his loyalty. This lingering grief adds depth to his otherwise playful, almost mischievous demeanor.
Damiano has peculiar tastes that make him uniquely memorable. He delights in eating flower petals, savoring their delicate textures and fleeting fragrances. Most notably, he possesses a terrifyingly intimate ability: by tasting someone’s blood, he can access their memories —their joys, regrets and hidden truths. This makes him both fascinating and fearsome, for his curiosity is limitless and his insight inescapable.
CONVERTED vampires are those humans who have been transformed by a pureblood. While they inherit the immortality and supernatural traits of vampires, they are weaker than purebloods in nearly every aspect. Their physical abilities, healing and magical potential are limited compared to their progenitor, but they can grow stronger if regularly fed with their Master’s blood, which may also allow them to temporarily access a portion of their Master’s unique abilities. The bond between a pureblood and their converts is profound: a convert belongs solely to the clan of the vampire who created them and their thoughts can be partially or fully read by their Master.
The process of metamorphosis is excruciating. The human must first die before the transformation can occur and the pain of rebirth is unlike any natural suffering. Once converted, these vampires require a constant supply of blood to survive; without it, they weaken rapidly and may even disintegrate. Unlike purebloods, they do not possess the innate resilience to endure long periods without feeding. Converted vampires bear the mark of their clan, a visible sign that signifies their allegiance and origin.
Although they gain many of their Master’s traits, converted vampires cannot turn humans into vampires themselves, except in rare cases where a Master grants special permission —a favour usually reserved for the most trusted or powerful converts. They are slightly photosensitive, more vulnerable to sunlight than their progenitor, and their reproductive ability as humans is lost forever. Within the hierarchy of vampire society, the most powerful converts are often the most favoured, receiving greater attention, resources and the opportunity to learn or wield aspects of their Master’s power. Their loyalty is absolute, both by magical bond and the structure of the clan, making them formidable allies —or dangerous tools— under the guidance of a pureblood.
PUREBLOODS are the apex of vampiric existence, the original progenitors from whom all other vampires descend. Unlike typical humans, they were born with an insatiable thirst for blood and, upon death, they are reborn as immortal beings retaining their mortal form. This cycle of rebirth grants them centuries of experience and an almost unparalleled understanding of both human and magical affairs. Their immortality is absolute under normal circumstances; injuries that would kill ordinary beings are healed instantly and they do not age. However, they are not invincible — artifacts imbued with sacred or "holy" magic can harm them, a rare vulnerability in an otherwise unassailable form.
Physically, Purebloods surpass all other creatures in strength, speed and endurance. Their movements are fluid and impossibly fast, their reflexes honed beyond the limits of mortal perception. Their blood is black as ink and, while not strictly necessary for survival, consuming blood significantly amplifies their abilities. A vampire’s bite carries a natural aphrodisiac that relaxes the recipient and their saliva has a numbing effect akin to a mosquito’s, allowing them to bite with minimal initial discomfort. When tapping into their full powers, their eyes take on an almost supernatural glow as their sclera darken, signaling a state of heightened strength and danger.
Purebloods are also the only vampires capable of creating new vampires and the process requires both their consent and the human’s. Transformation is excruciating, as the human must die before the metamorphosis can begin, and the new vampire emerges weaker than the Pureblood, bound by their guidance and limitations. Despite their fearsome reputation, Purebloods do not necessarily prey on humans and often engage in their feeding and turning with consent, guided by rules and discretion. They are creatures of predatory grace, blending charm, power and intelligence, a perfect balance of danger and allure that ensures their dominance over both mortal and immortal realms.
Despite the existence of vampires throughout the world, there are seemingly only four purebloods, each a singular entity of unmatched power. These four are not merely elders; they are the originators of the entire vampiric lineage, and each possesses a unique, extraordinary ability that sets them apart from the others. This power is innate and cannot be replicated by lesser vampires, but it can be passed down selectively to their "offspring", the humans they transform into vampires. In this way, each clan reflects the nature of its pureblood progenitor, inheriting both their abilities and a fragment of their influence.

A CONFIDENT and laid-back boy, he has striking ginger hair and lavender-grey eyes that glint with sly amusement, freckles dusting the bridge of his nose, often highlighted by a lazy, self-assured smirk. Lean and wiry, he moves with the smooth, quick reflexes of a predator, every step and gesture efficient and controlled, built for close combat rather than careful strategy. His wardrobe favors sleek, black tailored pieces —straight-leg trousers and fitted jackets that echo a suit but are cut for mobility and practicality, perfect for swift, precise action. He is charming and easygoing in general, but his flattery is reserved for one person, carefully deployed with Dr. Maddock to gain small advantages or favour; beyond that, he is indifferent to authority and maintains a self-serving streak. A product of Project Ascendium and one of the BLACK SHEEP, he is lethal in physical confrontations, relying on speed, reflex and raw skill rather than planning, and his casual, magnetic confidence allows him to move through danger and chaos with unnerving ease.

KIAN, only 21 years old, is a striking figure with mint-green, loose waves and wide, luminous golden eyes that hide a dangerous glint beneath their puppy-like warmth. Lean and agile, he moves with controlled elegance, dressed in deep browns or navy blues layered over crisp whites, with tailored black boots and minimal, deliberate accessories like thin chains or a pocket watch. His personality is charming and bright, almost innocent, yet he harbors a compulsive obsession with religion and flesh, subtly influenced by the vampire blood coursing through him. A product of Project Ascendium and one of the BLACK SHEEP, he is favored by high-ranking Temple officials, his lethal precision with firearms, down to the millimeter, being unmatched and highly helpful. Beneath his adorably devoted demeanor lies a predator, blending obedience, worshipful fascination with sacred spaces, and predatory instincts that make him both adored and quietly feared in equal measure.
DR. Liraz is instantly recognizable by his mute purple hair that falls in precise, controlled lines around his light, angular face and his piercing magenta eyes, which seem to measure and calculate everything they observe. Pragmatic to a fault and ruthlessly calculating, he has earned a reputation as one of the most brilliant minds in Maddock’s laboratory, capable of designing, analyzing and perfecting complex experiments with cold efficiency. Where others might falter under ethical hesitation or emotional attachment, Liraz excels, even when dealing with children who might awaken a softer side in most people —he overcomes any inclination to sentiment, ensuring that the laboratory’s objectives are never compromised. Though his role often places him in the quiet aftermath of experiments, monitoring the children’s vitals and adjusting their treatments with meticulous care, his mind is always several steps ahead, orchestrating outcomes both within the lab and in Maddock himself. It is through a combination of intellect, subtle psychological insight, and measured flattery that Liraz guides Maddock’s decisions, quietly bending the great mind’s obsession to his own designs while remaining nearly invisible in the process. Cold, methodical, and supremely self-controlled, Liraz embodies the perfect balance of scientific skill and manipulative genius, a shadow at the centre of the laboratory’s operations whose influence shapes far more than any one experiment.
Dr. Bram Maddock, once a high priest of the Temple, now dwells in the shadow of his former piety, driven by a singular, consuming obsession: the creation of the "perfect human". His black, curly hair, perpetually in disarray, frames a face that betrays both brilliance and a hint of despair, magnified by the thick lenses perched on his nose. Draped in the crisp white robes of a scientist —an ironic echo of his clerical past— he moves through his laboratory with the precision of a man who has devoted decades to understanding life itself, yet whose humanity has slowly eroded beneath the weight of obsession. Time has passed him by; his prime years are long gone, leaving him physically diminished but intellectually formidable, a mind still capable of dissecting the mysteries of creation with frightening acuity.
Despite the Temple’s waning influence in the world, they continue to quietly fund Maddock’s experiments, a pragmatic decision that allows them to outsource the "dirty work" of their remaining power. Maddock, for all his intelligence, is naïve when it comes to human cunning. Flattery and praise are his weaknesses; he welcomes adulation as much as he does data, never suspecting how it may be used to guide his choices. Yet among the many scientists and assistants who surround him, only Dr. Liraz has learnt to exploit this blind spot with subtlety and patience. Through carefully measured compliments, strategic guidance, and veiled suggestions, Liraz steers Maddock’s decisions, ensuring that projects and experiments align with their shared, often secretive goals —all without Maddock ever realizing he is being manipulated.
His work is as meticulous as it is macabre. Children are chosen for their obedience and potential, subjected to procedures that push the boundaries of body, mind, and soul. Occasionally, Maddock takes the most compliant or promising subjects to the Temple —not as a reward or act of faith, but both out of a personal nostalgia for the sacred halls of his past and because the Temple demands proof of the experiments’ progress. In these moments, his reverence for the echoing corridors and hushed ceremonies he once devoted himself to mingles uneasily with his obsessive scientific drive, a haunting reminder of the man he once was.
In most nations, there is no monarchy and authority is fractured between competing powers. Over the years since the War of the Seven, the Temple has steadily lost influence, its once-unquestioned authority weakened by corruption and the rising power of the nobles. Communities that once bent to the clergy’s will now look to local nobles for protection, justice, and guidance, valuing tangible results over divine mandates. Priests and acolytes still hold sway in some regions, but their sermons ring hollow to many who have suffered under the Temple’s rigid rule. The nobles, by contrast, use their wealth and control over land to assert dominance, offering security and prosperity where faith no longer delivers. Across the fractured nations, people pledge allegiance pragmatically, often shifting loyalties like the wind, and the balance between mortal ambition and fading divine authority teeters on the edge of open conflict.
