Apocalyptic Symbiosis
Mio’s connection to the End of Time Being, Varn, began when she wandered into a rift where time itself fractured and grew unstable. Varn is an ancient entity born from the final collapse of all timelines, neither alive nor dead, he is the eternal last breath before the world resets.
Their bond is both a blessing and a curse: it grants Mio immense power, but the energy slowly erodes her physical form, marking her with the weight of time’s end.
Effect on Mio’s Appearance:
The bond reshaped her: her crimson eyes softened into violet, her once-inklike markings shifted into vibrant pink, and her tail took on a softer, sheep-like texture. She also gained the strength to wield apocalyptic fire without breaking under its weight.
When Varn’s power awakens within her, her body undergoes a dramatic shift: two additional horns spiral from her head, small horn-like things appeared to her forehead, her skin deepens into shades of grey and black, and sharp claws and powerful paws form. Her legs reshape into hooves, and a long, sinuous tail, its tip wrapped in purple fire, lashes behind her. In this state, she becomes the haunting blend of apocalypse and abyss she was always meant to survive.
