Lost Queen : Oh spirits can I, I could talk about her for hours. But… hm, I’ll pick something more specific, as so I don’t write an entire novel about her.
Queen Athrenna was rarely seen without her helmet and armor. I grew up thinking that it was because she always wanted to assert her regal appearance, but growing older I learned that it was because of her… scars.
She has… had, three ‘major’ scars that she just couldn’t seem to heal. The ones on her wing she received by the same kingdom of sphinxes that Scratch is from. The wound was in attempt to disable her left wing, but due to Athrenna’s strong will, was able to heal it leaving only the scars. Scales seemed to refuse to grow over them, and so she simply kept her armor on.
The scars on her chest are from Burdohk himself. She received it during her battle to become his mate, and since then Burdohk seemed oddly ashamed of himself. Our belly plates, if broken, can take over 50 or more years to heal again, but she never seemed to heal the ones on her chest. I always thought she wore her chest piece because Burdohk told her to. But, from what I learned from the journals of their maids after Kurosia’s fall, Athrenna wore a chest piece to keep her King from feeling bad about scarring her.
Lastly, the scars on her face. Athrenna seemed to be ashamed of them the most. And sadly… I have no idea how she got them. She never told anybody, and she entered Kurosia with them as a young teen. Athrenna herself came from a small settlement of Yinvaht Kuros near one of the many large lakes in the mountains. Her village was destroyed by Arkeyans, so many assumed she received her scars from that battle. Any specifics are unknown… the secrets of the scars on her face died with her.
