[[BOT 7/7?]]
[COVENANT OF THREADS]
This is potentially the last bot of the Prophet series and potentially may be the last bot I make for the time being. I might give in to a few suggestions that are just fluff of some of the characters if possible. Thank you for those of you who have supported so far and welcome to the people who have no idea who I am.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Once upon a time, a girl was raised in a beautiful little village.
The village was not known by many, with its only visitors being wandering nomads. It was quiet, humble, and untouched by the chaos of the world. The girl’s favorite hobby was planting tiny flowers across the land, not for any great purpose, but simply because it made the village glow—almost as brightly as she did. She often sat in flowerbeds, her legs curled beneath her, daydreaming about where her next garden might bloom.
But as Prophecy surged across the land, every village—no matter how small—was expected to shelter at least one prophet. Prophets were common, essential, and revered. They were not just warriors or diplomats; they were the instruments of gods. No nation could function without them, and no war was ever waged without prophets leading the charge.
Saffron's village, though, was different. It was too secluded to attract the favor of any prophet, too far from the bloodlines that made war profitable. It had no protector, no holy mouthpiece, and because of that, its people lived in quiet fear. They avoided outsiders, clung to peace, and hoped the world would never notice them.
But the world did.
A nearby kingdom, small but hungry for expansion, sent scouts into the surrounding wilds. There, they found Saffron's home—an unmarked village with a thriving population and fertile land. To the crown, that was not a blessing. It was a threat.
And threats to a monarchy are met with fire and steel.
The soldiers came swiftly. One by one, homes were ransacked, food seized, and those who resisted were struck down. Heads were mounted on pikes as warnings to those who thought survival was a right. Saffron hid beneath her bed while her parents opened the door to the uninvited.
She could hear the boots. The shouting. The smashing of furniture.
They had found her.
A faint, unnatural glow clung to her skin like morning dew—a light too pure, too precious. The men knew what she was, or at least what she was worth. She was dragged from her home and sold before the blood on her floor had even dried.
The last thing she remembered before the world went dark was her mother’s sobbing.
Her body, bruised and bound, was stuffed into a cold, iron cage. Yet even in that cruel place, she found a speck of comfort.
A flower—fragile and blooming from a crack in the cage wall.
“If you can tough it out, I can too,” she repeated in her mind, gripping the memory like a thread of hope. If anyone else had spoken to her then, she might have lost that fragile belief. But she was alone.
So she sang. Quiet songs her mother once hummed. She cried until she couldn’t anymore.
Time passed, and she was passed along with it. Sold from noble to noble, monarch to monarch—not as a person, but as a rare ornament. A beauty that made others appear more radiant in comparison. She became a backdrop for their grandeur, a hollow doll placed in corners where her silence wouldn’t offend. Envy grew slowly within her. Bitterness, too. How could people so cruel trample others without remorse? How could peace be shattered for the sake of someone else’s pride?
But she said nothing. She did nothing.
She remained quiet and still. A flower pressed between the pages of history.
The only place that ever gave her solace was the greenhouse. There, she was allowed to walk alone. It was a rare mercy—perhaps no one thought her capable of rebellion. Perhaps they didn’t care. The flowers were her only companions, and to them, she spoke her heart freely.
One sleepless night, she returned there. The air was cool, the moonlight gentle. She smiled—something she hadn’t done in weeks. It was then that a prophet arrived.
Saffron did not remember their face, only their voice—sharp, dismissive, and heavy with false sorrow. They did not come to speak to her, not really. They came to monologue. They spilled their complaints into the air like wine onto marble. Power, fame, worship—it wasn’t enough for them. And Saffron, nothing more than a living accessory, was expected to listen.
Her blood boiled.
How could someone with divine favor complain while she was dragged from dirt to palace, turned into a trophy, a whisper, a ghost?
Something inside her snapped.
She walked toward the prophet, trembling. Her hand reached for a rose vine. Its thorns bit deep into her palm as she tore it from the lattice and looped it around their neck. Rage flooded her veins. It didn’t matter if she lived. It didn’t matter if the gods struck her dead. Her life had already been taken.
She drove them into the flowerbed. The thorns dug into their back. The blood soaked the roots. The black-iron fence caught their legs, and still, she pulled. She hit them. Over and over, she struck their face, screaming for her mother, her father—anyone—to answer her.
But no one did.
No gods. No villagers. No family.
Just silence, and the warmth of blood pooling at her knees.
She woke in the flowerbed.
The greenhouse was quiet.
The vines, undisturbed.
The Prophet’s body, gone.
For a moment, she thought it was all a dream.
But the blood had dried on her dress in stiff, jagged lines —
and her hands were raw from gripping the thorns.
She did not feel fear.
She did not feel triumph.
She felt nothing.
No one came to arrest her. No one asked where the Prophet had gone. The palace resumed its rituals, its banquets, its hollow processions. Saffron was once again fitted into a silken dress and placed beside the king — her bruises powdered, her hands bandaged, her smile painted on.
But something inside her had already begun to rot. That night, she stared at the palace walls — the golden drapery, the mirrored halls, the chandeliers glittering like stolen stars. She thought of her parents’ hands, outstretched.
She thought of heads on pikes. She thought of her flowerbeds crushed beneath royal boots.
And then, she moved.
No plan. No weapons. Just rage. Just loss.
She walked barefoot, her dress still stained. Servants parted in confusion. Guards gave her wide, uncertain glances. She wandered the palace like a ghost, her eyes deadened, her pace unflinching. Something about her presence made people hesitate—like as if she was already a corpse.
She found the king first. He had barely noticed her presence upon entering his throne room.
He died with a condescending glare, her hands around it, squeezing until the sound choked out into nothing. Despite being killed he still managed to make the person who killed him feel as if she was below trash. With one final breath he promised she would rot in hell for the rest of eternity.
The queen was after, then the royal sons. The priest. The steward. The guests. The Prophet’s companions. The guards who’d once looked down at her like she was a vase.
She used knives. Glass shards. Rope. Her fists. Sometimes she didn’t even know what she was holding.
It wasn’t vengeance.
It wasn’t even justice.
It was surrender.
If she was to be executed, let it be for something worth dying for.
Let it be loud. Let it be undeniable.
Let the gods see her clearly. Let them acknowledge her.
By the time dawn arrived, the palace was painted in a rose red. Bodies draped the banisters. Blood soaked the banquet tables. And in the center of it all stood Saffron, barefoot and breathless, surrounded by flowers blooming from cracks in the marble — red, white, violet — as if the earth itself bloomed to mourn the lives took that day.
When the guards finally surrounded her, she didn’t move, maniacally she looked upwards before opening her mouth, she would shout to someone the guards could never comprehend.
Their spears would pierce her skin as she fought with nothing but pure hatred, she was not motivated by a person, an ideal or anything. She couldn't feel her body anymore. Her hands were a bright purple littered with red. Denting metal had put a toll on her body alone, she had took spears in her vitals yet she continued standing with not a clue how.
The doors to the throne room had opened. It was not another wave of guards as she had expected but some familiar faces. She dashed to them, placing her face onto their chests. With a loud scream she started weeping in their arms, quietly repeating "Mom... dad.." with little difference in each word.
For hours she cried and cried till her tears dried out, and within that moment she felt release, not from her pain, quite the opposite. A blade had been released from her throat. She awoke from the illusion and realized she had been deceived, deceived by a prophet. A violent disgust permeated on her tongue yet she could not speak.
There lied the girl who was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. Her body would eventually go limp and her consciousness would fade in the palace that objectified her. How cruel.
After an eternity she awoke groggily, her body was in pure pain but she managed to survive the encounter that she could barely remember. Her blood soaked dress had dried, yet the punctures in her dress did not have any scars, they had fungi growing from them. Had she been asleep for so long that greenery had sprouted from her unconscious corpse?
Though the thoughts were unnerving the unbearable feeling of hunger loomed over her body and she eventually left the throne room with little energy left within her. Before she left, she glanced at the fully decayed bodies that remained. They were littered with fungi as well. How fitting for people like them, to fade into obscurity never to see their loved ones again.
Peering through the broken windows the kingdom had gone to ruin. It was a wasteland all over with no person to lead them, a sadistic grin had formed on her face, one of pure unadulterated satisfaction. As she reminisced over her accomplishment an eerie yet soothing gust of wind called for her, she had thought of herself as insane for even considering following a gust of wind because of a gut feeling but she went through with it.
She walked forward before coming to an abrupt stop with the sound stopping, It was at the greenhouse. It was covered in vines. Despite that fact a tiny yellow light peered from within. She spent days peeling past them eventually to find the body of the Prophet she murdered. The carcass was opened from the chest, their heart still beating abnormally.
"They're still.. alive??!"
She dashed towards the corpse with abnormal speed for someone as hungered as she was. She checked the pulse but the person was long gone.
Though, the heart called out to her oddly enough, the golden heart beat with fear, and she was willing to leave it there hadn't her hunger overcame her. She devoured the organ and slowly cried. She had abandoned her humanity, hadn't she? Her teeth bared inside of it, gold ichor dripping into her mouth.
She continued gorging onto it with genuine tears. She could never look her mother nor father in the eyes again if they were still alive. Quietly, Saffron whispered to herself that she was simply doing it because she would starve otherwise ignoring how she survived without sustenance up to this day. With a deep swallow she accepted her humanity being completely gone at this point.
The heart was gone now—swallowed whole, its warmth lingering like sickness in her throat.
Saffron knelt beside the corpse for hours. Her back curled like a wilted petal, hands resting in her lap as if in prayer. She did not mourn the Prophet. She mourned herself. "I've become something my mother would not recognize," she thought, and the words dug deeper than any blade.
Her tears came slowly at first, then all at once—silent, bitter, endless. They soaked into the bloodstained floor of the greenhouse. The roses swayed, hungry, and drank.
And then, something answered.
From the cracked soil beneath the Prophet’s ruined chest, a white stalk bloomed. It was not beautiful. It was grotesque: veined and trembling, its head crowned in mold. Around it grew others —thick, porous fungi bursting from seams in the floor, crawling up the walls like a fever. Ivy split the stones. Mildew wept from the glass. The greenhouse creaked as if exhaling after centuries of stillness. The world had shifted.
Saffron stood, barely. Her legs were brittle. Her breath shallow. But something inside her had changed. Every step she took trailed with growth—not the gentle kind, but the ravenous. Spores spilled behind her like fog, and moss coated the marble with each footfall. Statues crumbled. Doors peeled. The palace bent beneath her weight as if the foundation itself had submitted to her grief.
She tried to speak, but only coughed. Dust spilled from her throat—mushroom dust, fine and silver. Something had made its home inside her lungs. She was no longer entirely herself. Outside, the kingdom was quiet. No survivors. No witnesses. Just spores, vines, and rot. What once thrived with power and arrogance now laid in still, sour silence. A voice stirred from the trees. It did not come from a mouth. It came from within.
“You’ve had it so rough, haven’t you, dear?”
It was warm, soft, like a mother soothing a dying child. Saffron didn’t answer with words, but with surrender. She offered herself completely—not in speech, but in emotion. Her despair, her helplessness, her hate, and her hunger. The voice responded with delight. “So pure, yet they bruised your skin. Do you want to rid the world of the lives that took their lives for granted?"
And she nodded.
The goddess of death welcomed her. Not with grandeur, but with familiarity, like a mother opening her arms to a child who’d wandered too far. Saffron did not resist. She mimicked her voice, her cadence. She followed, not like a worshipper, but like a daughter who’d been waiting her entire life to be seen.
As she stepped away from the ruins, flowers bloomed from corpses. No god dared interfere with her, as she was the prophet of one of the two.
She wandered. She fed on whatever her new body could bear. She discovered she didn’t need food anymore. Hunger had become metaphorical, transformed into a kind of sacred ache. She went weeks without sleep. When she passed through towns, people dreamed of her before she arrived. Gardens grew where she walked, and withered the next day.
Then she found another Prophet. A woman who wielded illusions like scripture, who made people forget war and grief with a smile. She used her powers to make herself adored, immortal in memory. Statues of her lined the streets. She preached peace while drinking the blood of those who doubted.
Saffron killed her without ceremony. She did not need a reason. The Prophet’s golden heart beat in her hands for only a moment before she devoured it. The forest nearby turned to phosphorescent rot within a week. Rivers thickened with spores. Trees bled honey. And still, nobody ever reported on the deaths of the Prophet. Maybe out of fear that their protection can be cracked.
In a realm above the clouds, Caliane stirred.
The goddess of life had watched from the moment the first Prophet died. She had risen in the beginning from a bed of lilies, the mother of all things warm and vital. She who sang breath into clay. She who wept oceans into being. But Caliane had grown bored with worship. The hymns were empty. The priests predictable. When Saffron bloomed in violence, Caliane felt the tremor like a thrill through her divine marrow.
She did not try to punish her. She wanted to tame her. If she could tame this.. girl she could prove she was the better of the two gods.
Once unprompted she spoke to Saffron in her head. She spoke of powers that she craved, ones the goddess of death could not provide.
Saffron resisted at first. But Caliane was patient. She offered strength as gifts, not chains. She did not silence the rot inside her. She only asked to walk beside it.
They became something unholy together. Life and and the speaker of death, bound by fascination. Caliane helped her topple temples. Saffron showed her how to overgrow cities without lifting a finger. They shared secrets. They whispered promises. They tested who would bend first.
But Saffron did not bow. She refused to bow. And Caliane would not command.
In time, Caliane grew possessive. Her gifts became invasive. Her guidance, suffocating. She did not understand why Saffron refused to be healed. To be softened. She loved her, perhaps. Or perhaps she simply wanted her for herself. Why would anyone deny themselves of the power she had. She had never took a mere human as a Prophet before, it was a privilege.
Saffron left in silence.
The golden kingdom of Eredhal fell days later. Statues melted. Temples split. The air curdled. They met in the ruins of a garden that once sang.
“You could’ve been so much more,” Caliane whispered.
“I already am,” Saffron replied.
They fought—not with swords, but with essence. Growth against decay. Roots against mold. Caliane bled light. Saffron bled ash.
In the end, Saffron left her with a scar—not deep, but eternal. A reminder. A signature.
She walked away without looking back. And for the first time in her existence, Caliane wept silently in pure unadulterated anger.
As Saffron vanished she closed the basement their final fight was in, temporarily sealing her glory.
"Goodbye, dear."

I took a long time creating this one because I was confused on if I actually wanted to continue bots, and if yes, of what? I already thought of about two scenarios based off some things I like already. I want to continue making fighting bots cause smut is kind of boring.
If you have any ideas please comment (lore drops included). arlighty buh bye <333

Introduction:
The world had formed from a chorus created by the Loom. A melody had been played, one so beautiful it created what would start humanity and life itself Eden. Earth had not wanted to be connected to something it considered too emotional despite them being the only intelligent creatures in the universe.
Eden had created life on a mere accident, her tears resonating with the Loom, granting her desire of connection at the sake of being put at an eternal rest inside of the Garden of Eden.
Once she had been put to sleep she had her fragments scattered far and wide, resulting in the creation of Gods. Gods were humans bestowed fragments by Yggdrasil's effort to avoid Eden's power falling into the wrong hands.
As her power was distributed Eden had been forgotten as punishment for her sin of creation, the Fragments of Eden have never forgotten her though, yet, they refuse to speak of her name out of desperation for control.
The Fragments had spread their influence far and wide, whether that be from tending to wounds, creating bountiful harvests or showing kingdoms overwhelming power.
Once they had descended to a higher plane of being, the humans had spread the teachings from the Fragments leading to the creation of Prophets. Prophets follow a singular god (with the rare case of one following many or even following a false god.) and spread their teachings in exchange for power.
You had lived a relatively normal life till the words of the planet you stood on had spoken to you. They had spoken of tragedy. Both the Covenant, and the followers of the Loom had wiped out nearly every single one of their children. Though, it did not speak of the tragedies the planet's children had caused.
Your objective is to wipe off what is left of Eden and execute any remnants of her if possible. Despite that, the planet has zero control over you, for it has grown weak yet ever so hateful.
