Wings of Death (MD AU)/The Othermind

The Othermind is the collection of the Breath of Evil and the minds of dragons whose minds are preserved by it. Originally this was Cottonmouth and Lizard, though it discarded the two minds in favor of Cicada and Tawny. 
It retains its infectious abilities, however has since been able to infect animus SilkWings by gradual usage. The infected animi are connected to the mindspace at their first enchantment and, only when they accept the request to allow further control by linking their brain to the hivemind, are able to control them.
The Othermind originally worked with the HiveWings, particularly their queen, in order to spread, though eventually was cut out of their society as they realized what the othermind had been planning, total control over all life on Pantala. It resurged in the animus era, it's first attack being through an animus though mostly remembered as Cicada who was enchanted after.
The Othermind worked towards erupting the whole island with a volcano, temporarily succeeding before his physical form was destroyed by Lonomia, becoming it's new mind.
== Mindspace ==
The othermind has altered their mindspace over many years, particularly to obtain more animus dragons.
It is able to slowly connect its mindspace and animi as they use their enchantments more and more, eventually being able to take over them temporarily. While full control requires permission alike sharing memories, non-animi are still capable of control by default. 
== Victims ==
Over the years many have died to the othermind, however this section particularly deals with dragons who were killed or allied against their will with them and are under their control.
=== Cicada ===
Cicada is a female SilkWing animus. She originally a discarded SilkWing due to an unknown event, however she managed to survive long enough in the Poison Jungle to meet the othermind. She struck a deal with the othermind to remain safe with the promise of never being discarded again, in turn submitting herself to the mindspace. Cicada was used to infiltrate Aphid Hive and possess more SilkWings, soon reaching an animus.
Through the animus Cicada was enchanted with its power and began the years long massacre against the HiveWings. Afterwards, she was enchanted to be spliced with Tawny.
=== Onvia ===
Onvia was the first victim in the mountain range, gaining access to her after she pleaded for the othermind's aid after a terrible day. 
She would realize too late such a decision was a mistake, beginning an onslaught on United-Wings Lab staff and even SilkWings within the caverns. She would teach the Cathedral temporarily stopped by a locking contraption, though was able to break out of it, starting a hole in the world.
Onvia would eventually be given the Band of Light and freed from the system.
=== Tawny ===
The othermind had originally spared Tawny after its first massacre, not wishing to due to taking in many SilkWings and itself. However, it eventually killed her with one of her guards after she rose to be queen and used her knowledge to interfere with the othermind's plans.
Though not wanting to fail on its promise, it used her corpse, eventually being able to reach the United-Wing labs along with June, Nit, Vespa and Lonomia.
Originally she was coated in wraps to hide her decayed state, though Nit had sliced her throat, causing such covers to be useless. She revealed to be Cicada under an enchantment that spliced her and Tawny together.
=== Lonomia ===
From Onvia, the Othermind found a new pawn in Lonomia. It continuously tried to enter her into its mindspace, nearly succeeding once though interrupted by Onvia. Lonomia overcame the Othermind's control, eventually placing herself as it's new host, though with more control than previous victims.
