Send me hc + a word for meta to be forged || ACCEPTING.
She does not know her name. It is forgotten to time: a mother laboured to abandon a babe to the inferno, duty forgotten.
JOTE, it is the name she was given--a pleasant name stolen from a deceased member of the Undying. They say the one that came before her, was a man. He was the Keeper of Lore, all hidden in the Order's secrecy. He held no violence in ink-stained hands. They say he was a better person than she is: less hungry, less starved, no torment in spirited worship.
The Undying have the tendency to reuse names within the cult, their belief in reincarnation leading to the practice of stolen names for a new title to be forged, once a soul passes. She is the tenth Jote woven in the Undying's blanket of history and the first to hold the sacred position of the Phoenix's attendant and shadow.
They say she holds the same eyes as the first Jote, the first Priestess of Flames; and she was aptly named and the position she holds--is right.
Her name will be passed on once death claims her.
