okay, so .. remind me to touch back on the old, old lore i've written for ahri in the past because i so want to revamp it for the way my portrayal has evolved over the years & the new canon lore she's been given over the years. i used to write short stories on her origins, before ahri ever had any━━and one included her feasting of an entire coastal village in one single slaughter, giving in to her gnawing hunger after denying herself for months in fear of becoming the monster she was slowly evolving into. ( surprise, rejecting your true nature will never end well ). & how she promptly entered a comatose state of fullness and shame, her body buckling under the weight of either, as her mind grappled with what she'd done and her body brimmed with a torrent of new memories and sensations not her own, experiencing each emotion anew like a whirlwind. it took such a toll on her that ahri careened into the forest and took respite inside of a shallow grotto, where she would promptly fall into an endless slumber, her dreams the memories of the hundreds she'd consumed. lasting many years, this grotto would eventually grow, and grow, and grow, nature over-taking it and consuming her, until it became what is known as the garden of forgetting━━a green sanctuary home to flowers that devour memories, nourishing themselves with them. although none knew of the conditions of her years long rest, it could easily be theorized that ahri's over-flowing power nurtured the roots of the garden, gifting them their abilities. only over a century later would ahri arise as a sleeping beauty, resolved to regain control of herself and master the power that had been swirling inside of her all this time, feeding her soul's fox bead.
