Anima...
That was her name now. "Anima." Her name ever since she'd become an fayth. "Anima." "Mind". She'd forced herself to forget her beloved Human name years ago, lying in the cold stone of fayth-- her body, and her prison.
She hated her new form. Her aeon body. All of her twisted, mangled, mutilated self. Not only that, it hurt when she was called upon.
That huge, metal claw descending from the Magically darkened sky to wrap its cold talons around her aeon throat and roughly tear her massive self from deep under the ground. From the red-hot earth. Hell. The Underworld.

The first time she had ever seen her self-- her newer self. Was not too long ago, when Seymour had summoned her in the Luca Stadium. The bright daylight of the area had stunned her and blinded her single eye momentarily, but when she'd come into focus, she felt her son's steel will-- forcing her to use her Pain attack.
A second before she'd fired the first deadly beam of light, she saw her reflection in the clear-azure waters. It disgusted her. Using her new-found source of agony, she fired off a rapid series of Pains, causing her unfortunate fiend victims to explode in a burst of glowing pyreflies.
Arms bent, crossed over each other, held mercilessly in place by thick, unbreakable chains. Face covered over with some sort of grayish cast-like armor, leaving only a small hole on the left side of her face, so that her blue-green eye shone through. Fangs protruded from either jaw, glistening and curling wickedly over each thin, pale lip.

"Anima. I will share your pain with you."

It was Yuna's voice. Her summoner. She had no choice but to appear.
The familiar metal talons plunged itself into the ground and pulled her up from the steaming earth.
The chains snapped, at full tension, when she stood at full height. The bindings about her arms clinked as she struggled again in vain to escape them.
Anima let out a long, mournful howl-- the tortured cries of her unsent victims could be heard in conjunction with it.

She saw her new victim.
A demon, doubled over in critical condition. A pet of that Fiend Resercher of the Calm Lands Monster Arena. He stood off the side of the battlefield.
Anima scanned her opponent's mind for clues to defeat him.
Abadonn.
He, Abadonn, was beautiful.
Long dark limbs each ending with a deadly tapered point. Elegant, silver eyes narrowed in disdainful contempt. An armored tail thrashed in rage behind him.
Even hunched over, bleeding his crimson blood, a clawed hand at a gaping gash in his torso, the other pressed into the earth, supporting his dying weight.
When was the Fiend Researcher going to call him back?

The demon attempted to stand upright, a crimson mist spraying from his mouth through the effort.
The bright sunlight of the humid Calm Lands reflected off of the rivers of blood trailing down his body, his golden claws, and black lacquer carapace.
Abadonn forced a painful sneer and conjured up some Black Magic spell that Anima easily endured and countered with a Pain attack.
He gave a short, Demonic laugh, and collapsed in an shuddering heap. A single ruby wing fluttered weakly, not excepting defeat.

Abadonn let loose another roar, one filled with all his pent up fury and anger-- one that Anima recognized so well. Abadonn had been created and lived to serve as she did. Coming and fighting with all your strength, not being able to think of yourself, whenever your master or mistress wished it. He was an experiment. A fiend that no one would pay a second thought to. She knew the Demon knew that. And she pitied him.

The Fiend Researcher chose then to rush up, pour a sedating curative into his Demon's wounds, and had a couple of his other powerful creatures drag his unmoving form away to the stables.

"Abadonn..."

pureVENOM: Yeek! Okay, that sucked, didn't it!? I just decided to write this because the second I first saw my first Varuna, I was just toally stunned and captivated by his beauty!! I think he really is beautiful!! *sigh* I don't remember if "Abadonn" is the Varuna-looking creature though... *shrug* I hope so. 'Cause I'm not planning on re-writing this!
