- Last Known Owner: Lhyrin
- Description:
A tattoo of a black-necked spitting cobra, whose entire length stretches from Lhyrin's shoulder, coils around their bicep, and ends with its snoot pointed at the inside of their wrist. The entire belly of the snake, from the neck down, is silver and there are also small stars dotting the snake here and there. Instead of using a metallic dye for the stomach and stars, Leoxander went for a more artistic approach, with using grey highlighted with white to get the appropriate look. And finally, the snake's eyes are ruby red, to match the ruby eyes of the Mark Of Vakmatharas tattoo on Lhyrin's neck.
- History:
From The Moon Goddess and The Avatar of Vakmatharas:
Kanna extends her hands, taking the constellation from Lhyrin’s grasp. Once in the palm of her small hands, the starry moth settles, its individual stars waxing and waning in intensity as though it were a heartbeat. The bard pulls the constellation close and gently gives it a kiss before covering it with her other hand. “I don’t believe that for a minute. The stars would never discriminate. That’s why they’re so beautiful.” When she opens her hands again, the moth has transformed shape, now taking the coiled form of a perfectly ebon serpent. When its eyes open, the stars making up its scleras shine more brilliantly than before, as if its gaze were made of light itself. The python’s looks to Lhyrin and slithers towards them, as if it was always meant to accompany the forsaken vampire. When its head tilts upwards, they will see silver scarring on the underbelly of its scales. “How curious.” Kanna coos, tilting her head so she can see the interaction better. “I once read that Vakmatharas kept a snake made of stars as his companion when he walked the mortal plane.” Kanna’s bright blue eyes flicker up to the forsaken elf in curiosity. “Are you Vakmatharas?”
Lhyrin held out a hand, letting the serpent slither its way up their arm and around their neck. It gave Lhyrin a slight squeeze around the neck and then dissipated, its stars lifting off towards the heavens. Raven-colored brows knit together briefly in consideration before they’re taken off-guard by Kanna’s question, stormy eyes peering down at her for some time before they respond. “Only if you are the moon goddess herself,” they said, chuckling somewhat. “I am more… his avatar, if anything."
