The White Dress Tragedy [CW]

The Missions:

Isomo was wandering after months of being lost both physically as she was now alone without her cultists family, and mentally as she now felt something was missing. She knew her objectives, and knew what she wanted to attain in Jashin's name, but it had now been weeks of travelling without something concrete to do, and she was getting bored. Isomo getting bored was dangerous, as it was in these times that she did horrendous things just to keep herself entertained and on edge. When bored, she would act recklessly, and was a danger to everyone, prompt to make a massacre out of anyone she crossed path with. She needed to do sacrifices for Jashin, but simple peasants didnt bring satisfaction to the dark god. She also needed hearts infused with elements, but the same could also be said, as normal folks wouldnt do the job. Oh well... Tho normal folks and citizens didnt make her objectives and motives advance, they were still satisfying to murder and kept Isomo entertained and alive, as she thrived on the pain and blood of others, being an oppressor at heart.

As she wandered the roads in Haven country borders, she came across an elderly woman walking alone with her straw hat, old style kimono and straw backpack full of fabrics and foods. Curious about it, Isomo got close to the elderly woman, catching up ahead on the road to see where she was going. After all, talking could give her informations as to where to find what she was after. As she got close to the old lady, she assured to not look too scary, so she made her mouth appear normal, the threads on the cheeks closed to be looking like a ''normal'' Tau, and lowered her black hood to be more approchable and less scary.

''well hello there ma'am! Quite brave of you to walk alone here. Where are you going ?''  said isomo with a fake smile, trying badly to be nice.

''Well hello there young lady ! Oh by the ten tail what happened to your face ? poor thing, getting hurt at such a young age... Well yes of course, im walking towards my daughter's village, its only a few miles down the road! im going there for her marriage to a ricefield owner! Oh the happyness this will bring to the familly! But youre right.. walking alone is quite the bad move, especially since i'm carrying gifts for my daughter! Would you be so kind as to accompany me there? I could pay you!'' replied the elderly woman, all happy to see someone who seem to offer help to her, naive to the eerie appearance of the Tau girl.

The tought of a whole wedding and village sounded like candy to the bloodlust of Isomo, and the fact the old lady even had some money was perfect. She could make a buck as well as satisfy her craving for blood and flesh. Immediately, the mind of Isomo began twisting, her smile getting bigger and bigger, as the bloodlost and her mind was getting more and more the same, her sense of restraint vanished, and she was getting more and more eerie, her mouth oppening beyond normal sense. As she slowed a bit to walk behind the field of view of the old lady, she readied her mouth to lunge at her neck at any given moment from behind.

''Sure ! i'll walk behind ya, watch your back... Soooo, how many people are gonna be at that wedding ? Any ninja or folks like that ? Nah ? Oh it will be a happy and peacefull event im sure... Well, I for one, can't wait to get there ! Ooohh the suprise will just be sooo delicious ! it will be a day to remember!''  said Isomo, before lunging at the neck of the lady, all sharp teeths out, breaking instantly her neck, blood gushing everywhere as she mawed and teared trough the flesh of the poor old lady. As she ripped open the back of the now deceassed grandma, the bone could be heard snaping and the viscera oozing out, as Isomo ate through her spine and made her head fell, going from her back towards her heart. As she gnawed upon her, she finally devoured her heart and drank most of her blood in the process, she threw away from her the shreded remains. Now covered in blood, she wiped her mouth with her arms, laughed to herself and licked around her mouth with her giant long monstrous tongue, and got back to the remains to loot the body of the gifts and money. As she continued her way trough the road, she felt proud of herself for not behing scared of getting caugh, and for her audacity to do this in broad daylight. Not wanting to alarm the marriage and as a way to have the upper hand by suprise, she got down from the road not too far into the forest, as there was a small pond where she could at least wash herself and her clothes of all the blood, to appear at the very least less suspicious when getting to the little hamlet.

As the evening was starting, she finnaly arrived to the outskirts of the little village, and did the dog handisgn, transforming herself in the old lady appearance as to blend into the crowd. She waited until the ceremony began, and arrived as the elderly woman, faking to be late as the road was way too long for her old legs. As the ceremony advanced, Isomo couldnt contain her intrusive toughts of killing everyone, and the old lady began to grin weirdly in the middle of the crowd at the center of the village where the marriage was happening. But nonetheless, she contained herself, covering her eerie grin with her hand, as to fake laughing of joy towards the marriage. She waited until both the would be husband and wife were both on stage, as they were pronouncing their vows. Then, as if time itself stopped, the grandma stood up, weirdly, to the gaze of everyone. After 2 seconds, she exploded into a white puff of smoke, hidding the horrid transformation underneath. Isomo had released her jaw, opening her mouth at its max size, wich was horrible to behold. As she unsewed her head from her neck, black threads pushed it at incredible speed like a snake head who extended from the base of the neck launching her head towards the soon to be wed, and bit them. The daughter and her man screamed in pain and terror, before getting torn to shred, the lady having her whole leg ripped appart and the man getting beheaded as his head was bit into and ripped appart from the torso. The rest of the body of Isomo soon oppened too, launching black threads towards others people in the crowd, piercing them away and killing all around in an instant. As the massacre happened, yelling and panic could be heard, along with crying of childrens, and moaning of dying people, their eyes wide oppened by the horror they were witnessing as they drew their last breath.

The massacre was beyond ruthless. taking almost an entire hour, all guest were dead, unless some escaped while Isomo was busy. There were dozens of dead bodies, all torn appart and pierced with black threads or bite marks. The two lovers were now only a pile of meat on the altar, torn to shred, leaving only the wedding robe to be recognized, now drenched in blood, dyed more red than the original pristine white of the fabric. As Isomo feasted afterwards on the bodies of her victims, she looted the money of the wedding, and felt revigorated, both mentaly after letting out some of her toughts and succumb to her impulses. She left the place a blood pool, the village center looking like a mass grave freshly painted in all red, the hamlet now a ghost town, with the silence of the dead looming over it, accompagnied with only the raven cawking as they circled the massacre.
