Oh to be the relatable pawn, still unsure and hesitant to fight, but strong enough to be a problem for the heroes when I get over my doubts. I'm only here because I want to earn your praise, and I don't know how else do get it.
Then, one day, I'm taken aside after a particularly rough failure, maybe I got too close to the heroes, felt bad for them, and let them slip. I drink from the glass on the meeting table to try and calm myself, and I'm out within minutes.
I wake up after months in a tube of translucent liquid, body remade stronger, faster, power coursing through my veins. My mind has been melted away except for that deep need for praise, to be wanted, to be enough.
You pull me out and slowly, carefully begin to build my new self.
Sorry dearie but your previous form just wasn’t cutting it~
Remoulding your body and mind was really to be expected after such a slip up as feeling mercy for those heroes~ What else was there to do? I’ve cut that weakness out of you now, along with a few other unnecessary qualms and previous restraints you may have had. I kept what was most important in that cute little mind though; your undying servitude to me~ in fact it should be unconditionally stronger now<33
Doesn’t it feel good already? To know your existence is now dedicated to me? Your body and mind personally rebuilt to my liking? I certainly see some lovely now muscles I just adore~ You’re so much more powerful now my lovely pawn! You can so easily take on those pathetic heroes you lost too before~ Starting with those ones you felt sympathy towards once<33
Awh did you like that? The praise and attention for your new form? Put it to good use fighting those heroes and I’ll give to all the praise you could ever need<33 And not just in words<3 if you’re really good I’ll have to sample the new you myself~
Come now pawn; let’s take you for a test run first<33
