Conceptual character sketch in pencil.A young woman of royal blood banished by her parents when she mysteriously awakes one morning finding herself pregnant.Living as best she can in the near barren and hostile wastelands of her world ,she struggles on putting aside her grief and anger of her parents betrayal,determined to survive at least until her "mysterious child" is born.A child she believes will be great and one day do miraculous feats for the benefit of all living things on her world.She believes this because it has told her so in her dreams.

She finally gives birth..but not to the saviour she believed..but a parasitic horror..which upon realising it was in a isolated place latched itself on to it's only hope of survival,the young distraught girl who just gave birth to it.No longer the sweet ,calming,voice of hope in her head the creature showed it's true vile nature and forced her and altered her physiology to accept a symbiotic life with the creature.It forced her to eat and kill things she could not normally stomach so they could survive till they could reach a populated area.

Upon finally doing so the parasite killed and fed upon all life there,but it did not release the young girl from it's servitude.Strong of mind as she was this act of violence and cannibalism she was forced to witness and partake in,along with and added to previous emotional traumas endured since her harrowing journey began,finally broke her and sent her spiraling into the depths of despair and deep sorrow.She retreated to the darkest corner of her mind,leaving the parasitic evil in full control.At first it revelled in this,travelling,feeding,and eventually conquering her world,reshaping it to suit itself and it's needs ensuring it's survival until unsuspecting travellers arrived and it can use them to begin again on another world.That was it's plan anyway..until it's host awoke.

In the time spent in seclusion her grief,despair,and loneliness grew to such a intense and powerful level her defensive catatonic state could not contain it.Looping scenes,visions,feelings continuously replayed amplifying the original emotional distress and damage her minds defenses had originally hoped to protect her from.The parasite's dominance of her actions and body also proved to much for her mind to protect her from and thus she experienced,felt,and saw what it did.It all combined..her minds defenses useless to stop the assault.In a final desperate act to save herself,from herself and the parasite,her mind smashed the mental barrier behind which she had locked herself away and unleashed all the pent up emotional distress and horror and shattered the parasites control of her mind.It also damaged the parasites own psyche and it fell into a coma..and through the symbiotic existence they shared..she went with it.

In a period of time spanning weeks the parasite's survival systems kept them alive in a sort of hibernation by detatching parts of it's body to search for food and fluids which upon their return and reintegration into the parasite itself would pass on what both their systems needed to survive.When they were strong once more,their bodies repairing the damage done during the traumatic mental assault and collapse as best they could,they awoke once more..but not as they were.She was not a tragic victim,it was not a violating oppressor..they were seperate yet they were one.In a desperate attempt to survive their minds through the symbiosis they shared had combined and collaborated and shaped the two seperate indentities into one's that could co-exist together harmoniously.Keeping traits of each psyche that complimented each,and repressing or eradicating those which would cause conflict,their emerging psyche's were strong and calm,and extremely powerful.Gone were the moralistic codes that caused horror and distress,gone were the feral,bestial urges for sensless violence and lust.In it's place was a balance that gave intelligence,will,patience and control and merged it with strength,fearlessness,and freedom of delusions of good and evil.The only emotions that either felt,besides their need to survive,was the love for each other,their need for each other and their combined well-being.A bond of mother and child.They were of course both insane.

Together through the awakening of dormant abilities each found in the other,the honing of existing skills,and the learning of new abilities,they regained power over the world.Through deception and cunning they lured others to their world and used their skills and technology to travel to knew worlds.Becoming stronger,wiser,with each new world visited they eventually became god like in power.It was then,only then when they felt they'd learn't all they could and gained enough power to use it,they dropped all their pretenses,their cunning deciets and disguises,and set about making the universe their's.They over a span of a mere century achieved just that and then set about reshaping it to their will,desires,and needs.To them it was paradise,to those that managed to escape and tell the tale it was pure chaos.Those that have since believed to have gone into their realm,whether to find the truth or by sheer accident, have never returned.If anybody did they'd most likely be destroyed..to keep the insanity and parasite contained.

If legend is true they are happy where they are,eternal mother and child,God of their own universe and existence, content to feed and learn from those who stray to close to their dimensional Bermuda Triangle.There are those who also believe there will come a time when they will need more,and when they do,there will nothing anyone can do to stop them.
