Overview:
Khaftia was once a human from the Desert Region of the world, a nomad traveling the lands alone in a large improvised carriage, pulled by two oxes, from town to town in order to offer her fortune-telling services to whoever was interested. Some people were skeptical of her ability to read into the future with her crystal ball, others sought her predictions, which would always come true in the most cryptic of ways, many times the future not being what it seemed to be.
One day, she was invited to a royal court by an Apophis, who caught wind of her skills and wanted to ask about future conquests. Khaftia made several predictions about the Apophis’ victories, which came true in one way or another. Because of this, the Apophis became infatuated by Khaftia and her powers and tricked her in giving into the seduction of a Mamono and subsequently monstarizing her, thus keeping Khaftia at her court as a new consort, an Apophis like herself.
The Apophis treated her well, almost as an equal, yet Khaftia was feeling like a bird in a gilded cage, as the Apophis was rather fond and even clingy to her. Her nomadic ways made her wish to leave and continue traveling. Over the months she planned to make her escape and one night, she used her newly acquired powers of venom and aphrodisiac to convert some court’s subjects and help her escape. The escape was succesful and once again, Khaftia travels the lands, revealing people their destinies, all while hiding her new Mamono nature and suppressing her new urges through various kinds of medicines.
