decided to redraw the elder phantom sheet since the last one was pretty old at this point. my bag of freaks, lore past keep reading

these are the elder phantoms - 13 godly beings created by accident as zios' tears mixed with the elements of the universe. besides zios himself, they were the oldest living things, predating even mira herself. zios was horrified and disgusted by what he had done, and shunned them away, leaving them to rot. the youngest of the sisters, bearing only a singular eye, was enraged by her creator abandoning her. she begged her sisters to join her in getting revenge against zios, but they thought her foolish. for all her sisters wanted was the love and affection of their creator, and they'd do anything to get it

the youngest was shunned away for her heresy, and so she fled to seek her revenge alone. she would later bring forth modern phantoms in her image, and become known as the Phantom Queen as for her sisters, in their desparation for zios' approval they merged into one being which they called "elys". in hopes that if zios couldn't love them all, he could love one. they surrendered most of their power to submit to him, and shifted their collective form to mimic the focus of zios' affection - their newest sister, mira

but zios was instead enraged by this, and with little power left to defend herself, elys was slaughtered and trapped in stone. he hid her body away and did not let knowledge of her existence spread, nor did the queen let her children know that there were more like their queen. and thus, knowledge of elys - and of the elder phantoms that comprised her - faded away with her demise

I’ll wolf down suns in one whole swallow So you’ll freeze beneath my shoulder’s shadow As cold as my old body you choked As above, so below Mercy is not a word that I know Shed none for me all those moons ago
