Ruina

## Birth and Childhood

It is expected that Mulier would've been the one to give birth to Ruina since she is 69's daughter. However, that isn't the case - in reality, 69 impregnated three women, much like the angel did in the story of Christ's birth. One of these women, a cold-hearted and taciturn woman, gave birth to the goddess whom we are talking about now: Ruina. The woman wasn't suited to taking care of children (she hated just about each one of them) but she still provided the supplies Ruina needed for her growth. However, as Ruina grew, the woman became more and more distant.

It could be said that Ruina never sought her mother's love because she innately knew that the woman would never care for her, but such a statement couldn't and can't be proven, for the sole person who knew is now deceased and their whereabouts unknown, be it Caelum, Inanis, or Avalon. But anyway, having found the lack of love somewhat lonesome, Ruina decided that one day she would have a family or someone to take care of. When 69 finally arrived to tell her that he was her father, Ruina believed that 69 was the person she was looking for - but it was not to be.

## Teenage Years

Over the next couple of months, Ruina realized that 69 simply didn't fit in with her aspirations - he seemed too elegant and powerful. Being in his care was almost like being a king's servant. 69 would only call on her in times of need, and would only shower her with trifles and curios whenever he felt that Ruina was straying from the path he set. However, this only spurred Ruina on - she would be loyal to 69, despite his inability to care for her. 69 realized this as well, but his behavior towards her never changed.

Somewhere along the line, Ruina learned to hide her feelings from the world - if she were to be treated as a soulless knight, only to respond to 69's orders, then she would act like one. This change in his daughter pleased 69: he believed that Ruina had finally realized her place in the world. Everyone else thought no different of her, they believed that this transformation was only natural. Having found success in her decision, Ruina proceeded to make sure that it stayed that way. She destroyed cities without hesitation and viciously murdered everyone in said cities, further ingraining her wicked deeds in the minds of innocents.

## Adulthood

Having kept up this pace for a while, Ruina decided to relax for a bit - she would visit the mortal world and maybe visit her mother while she was at it, but during her travels, she found a child who winded up interrupted her plans. She had been walking past a church when she noticed that on its doorstep was a small basket covered in a blanket, and upon further inspection, she found that there was an infant in there. Entranced by the child, she brought the young girl with her back to her abode in Inanis. She named the girl Sacra and had 69 elevate her status to that of a god, and then took care of her.

After her moment of repose, Ruina continued to do the things that she had done before, taking care to educate Sacra. Inanis matters were as dreary as they were before, but soon after Sacra's third birthday, the Captain of the Royal Guard had Ruina teach him how to discipline his army better. 69 eventually left Ruina alone to do what she wanted, and Ruina used this time to fully teach Sacra her ways instead of taking another break. She also taught Sacra how to control her magic. Sometime after she finished teaching Sacra all she needed to know, Ruina's mother died.
