-Bastet-

The helpful spirit, the sun's glow, the quiet force of gentle peace. The foreteller, the feline murderer, the fates of sand, the dragoness standing upon the souls. She who faced down the scythe, she who stood beside the snake, she who harnessed the Moons.

*Literally told him so right to his face. no shame
Bastet was nearly asleep when the young SandWing slunk in.
His wings were near-silent as they swished against the flaps of the tent, his talonsteps graceful. The only flaw in his stealth was that moment when his claw knocked against a rock, followed by a hiss as he began sucking on the knuckle, and Bast jerked to attention.
“Hello, hello, come right in, make yourself comfortable. Would you like some tea?”
The young dragon paused, still in the shadows. “Yes, please.”
Bast smiled, blinking the sleep from her eyes as she unhooked the kettle from where it hung above the fire. She talked while she poured.
“What’s your name?”
Another pause. The young drake came into the light and sat down on the other side of the table.
“Ratsnake.”
*He was in a gang at the time (busy dude), but he promised to come visit Bast sometimes
*At this time, Sekh's manipulation was getting worse and worse
*One night, Bast snapped
*She found Rat and pleaded with him to help her kill Sekhmet
*Rat said sure, okay. (by this time he was quite engulfed in gang violence)
*He killed his half-sister while Bast pinned her down
*Bastet is horrified with herself, and begins to cry uncontrollably
*When Rat touches her to try and comfort her, she's overwhelmed by a vision
*The vision is a scene of the Cackle (Rat's rival gang) attempting to wipe out the Pride (Rat's gang)
