Amethystus Windrunner

**Amethystus Windrunner** (largely known as Amy or Amethyst) is a character in Leviathan Lore. Initially any other Windrunner warrior, it is later revealed that Amethystus is simply the "other side" of Kira Leviathan. Although it is shown that they are separate entities, both Kira and Amethystus are essentially the same, both sharing similar personalities, using similar weapons, and even share the same voice.

## Biography

### Early life

Amethystus came to exist once Kira entered Broken Arrow. She has no known parents, and instead was put under the care of a Windrunner healer. Amethystus, simply being an apparition of Kira at the time, takes on her true hellhound form and brutally massacres lots of Windrunners, with the exception of the healer, whom she spares. However, Amethystus, who took over her consciousness, abruptly stopped and reverted back to her normal Windrunner form with no one left to bear witness. Cobalt Windrunner assumed that this was a genocide committed by Leviathan forces, and as revenge, sends a bulk of his soldiers towards Leviathan territory with the intent to slaughter everyone there, only for almost every soldier sent there to be killed, with the exception of one survivor, whom actually turned out to be Amethystus herself.

### Battle with Kira

Amethystus acknowledged Kira's existence and knew that she was the one who massacred the Windrunners. However, when she brought this up to others, they called her crazy and delusional. At some point, Kira started to take over her mind, acting as a voice in her head that constantly taunted her and verbally abused her. Frustrated by this, Amethystus contemplated suicide and frequently made slashing marks on her forearm every day, assuming that Kira was also feel the pain she feels, which was discovered to be untrue. A few months later, Kira appeared as a physical apparition to Amethystus and would frequently follow her everywhere. However, when she turns her back, Kira disappears. Kira only appeared before Amethystus twice, one time to torture her briefly, and another time to steal some of her blood for unknown reasons, although because she was only a hallucination to Amethystus, it is possible that she never received the injuries she sustained from Kira and never had any blood taken from her in the first place. Again, this is seen to be false, as Kira ends up infusing herself with the blood, essentially becoming one with Amethystus. Upon realizing this, Amethystus finally killed herself, but was later revived by Kira. This internal struggle is soon noticed by the healer, and believes that Amethystus has lost her mind. He confronted her on the matter, whom pleaded for him to help her. Not wanting to become a part of her psychiatric hijinks, the healer instead sent her away to a camp for mentally unstable persons. It was there when Amethystus started getting slowly treated of her insanity, though this indirectly causes Kira's influence over her to dwindle, since she became mentally stronger. Eventually, Kira split from Amethystus, becoming a separate entity, but not before she brutally killed her in the same way she did in the massacre she participated in.

### Revival and new life

Her remains were soon discovered and Amethystus was brought to her healer guardian. He managed to revive her, but at the cost of her forgetting everything leading up to her death. Amethystus, not being able to recognize the healer, initially was hostile and even combative, trying to swat him away or hit him, but when he tells her that he's her adoptive father, she becomes more calm, but is still confused. Amethystus then proceeds to tell the healer about some sort of figure that looked like a female hellhound was chasing her around and tormenting her, but couldn't remember its name or why it was tormenting her. The healer dismissed this as a hallucination and told Amethystus that everything was already and she is "better" now. A few weeks into her recovery, Amethystus decided to take up swordplay as a hobby, frequently engaging anyone she meets in sword fights, to which she almost always wins, with her only losing once. Nevertheless, she continued to train, and at some point encountered Riko, a fellow Windrunner who also was into sword fighting. However, their encounter was cut short when Riko is pulled away from the pastime due to him being injured. She took an interest in him and planned to meet him after dark at a tavern. However, this plan would never come to be, with the war against Leviathan raging on, she, Riko, and many other Windrunners are conscripted and forced to fight the attacking Leviathan forces. Nearly all of the conscripts were killed off, with the exception of Amethystus, Riko, and another named Aaron. Aaron, convinced that Leviathan forces were too strong, decided to surrender himself to them, despite Riko and Amethystus opposing this action. However, instead of being conscripted into their cause, Aaron was held as a prisoner, prompting Riko to rescue him by himself since Amethystus and the others wouldn't do it.
