Third in the series of rune makos. This is Fehu, Fe, or simply: ᚠ. It can be taken to mean new beginnings.



This makoatl has had a rough childhood. They're exhausted, injured, but still hanging in there. Not living, but existing. They're free from the clutches of whatever has held them down their young life, and they're blossoming into an adult.
The rune Fehu has bonded to them; and together with it, you will help them be reborn as an adult.
The beginning to all new beginnings can be as simple as a new name.
Whatever name you choose for this mako will shape how they appear when they grow. Will they grow into a strong, bold makoatl ?? Will they be shy, kind, considerate ?? Will they turn up as angry and evil as those who maltreated them before ??

It all starts with a name.

"I have to find her..." Nemesis growled as she ran through a quiet town late at night. Rain thundered down on the pavement, and lighting stabbed the heavy clouds above. Memories cluttered the Makoatl's mind; some of happiness, but many of pain, anger, guilt, and neglect. The source of all this hurt? Her mother. Nemesis had grown up with a sibling; a sibling that was much better than her at, well, everything. She was neglected, forgotten, left in shadows and dark because of this. "I don't want to do this..." Nemesis mumbled, her tears burning her reddened eyes. "But I must have my revenge." She snapped, losing any feeling of guilt. "Cold, heartless, neglectful mother, I will not let you hurt another." Nemesis spoke loud and clear as thunder shook her surroundings, before racing off into the night, set on getting her vengeance.
***
It was over. Never would the beast hurt another child. Never would she utter another cruel word. Never, ever again. A smile formed upon Nemesis's face, though it appeared quite evil in the flashing lights of the storm. Wiping the tears her epiphora caused, she began to quietly sing, as singing helped her calm her emotions.
"I stand here alone,
My grey paws stained red,
The work of retribution compelled by dread,
In my deepest sane visions,
Never had I seen this turn of events,
Now i'll keep walking,
I'll keep walking,
I can't stop this feeling that i've lost it all,
All I ever wanted was for her to fall!
Shaken reality,
Still I tread here on edge,
Yet I unleash my hatred in song once again!-"
Nemesis stopped herself; she wouldn't lose her mind over this. The longer she stayed, the more likely she was to get caught. "Finish the song later, vengeful one..." She murmured, before running away from the scene, a trail of blood following behind her, only to be washed away by the sky's tears.

Forever - Jeff Williams feat. Casey Lee Williams

'Don't leave me...'
A soft, quiet sob.
'What will I do if you leave me?'
A painful howl to the stone-cold heavens.
There was no reply. There would never be a reply again.
Nothing left to do, he returned to his half-life in the grit and soil of the city. Dragging his limp tail behind him, a useless limb so far from the water.
Can you see him? The pup so grey in coat and emotion that he simply blends into this city of ash and filth, a place for only the unwanted? Perhaps he will be easier to spot later, when his pelt is stained crimson with blood drawn by kings of the beggars, his new-found silence, the kind only great loss can bring, providing him little armour.
Asleep in a ditch he prays will keep him safe, he dreams of her words, her last advice, an effort to continue to protect him like she had in life.
'Be my armoured warrior.'
But it is not easy to build armour, and harder to be a warrior.
First the silence, that had not worked, it was only tinfoil, covering his thoughts from the hunters that stalked him.
Second, the name, badly read from the foil of something discarded and partially remembered through dream. It had given him strength, but it did not stop them, they cared little for names.
He would need to build his armour with sturdier things, things of bone, of blood, of fear.
It took him many defeats, many losses, many beatings, to so much as lift his paw in retaliation. But, once the hate began to flow, it quickly ran into a river, and soon, into an ocean.

He entered this city a weakling, a runt.

He left it a king.

"I want to weep, I want to be comforted. I'm so tired of being strong.
I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while,
that's all....a day.....an hour.”

- George R.R. Martin

--

A rugged inhale, as if breathing was a life draining activity. Which one could suppose, it was.

But there were no tears. No, never any tears.

--

For the majority of individuals, life started out easy. In fact, most wouldn't even remember a day of their life until many years would pass.

Unfortunately, that was not the type of beginning that one small one would experience.
Instead, this child would eventually look back upon her childhood, slowly realizing that her life was a severe turn off from the path of normalcy. Like a trainwreck into the part of the woods that no one dared enter.

Growing up, she had always thought it was what everyone experienced. They all seemed so happy, so peaceful, and the girl had always simply assumed that they were experts at hiding the pain that everyone must have been going through.

So she did the same, putting on a brave face and laughing with the few children who accepted her as the quiet, intense child she was.

Soon, however, even those few children were gone, leaving the broken child on her own. Like a porcelain doll that hadn't realized she was cracked and chipped.

--

Go on, put on a smile for all to see.

No one need see what lies beneath.

--

Soon, however, the veil fell.

Everything in her life was a mistake. All of it- even her life itself. And the few individuals in her life made sure she knew it.

She wasn't even named as a child, cast off into the depths of despair right from the beginning. Some would say she was a ghost child, others would say a spawn of something much more sinister. There was no love in the words she heard from birth, instead the phrases were all commands directed to the simple and daft object she was. A thing.

Crushed and isolated, there was a void in what should have been the love of life and all good that came out of it.

But although there are those that find the joy and happiness in life, there are others that will forever harbor the sickness and decay.

The girl's heart, like that of a diseased, fallen angel, beat not with the pleasure of discovering the next day, but instead hardened and began turning to stone, like that of the strongest marble.

--

Like that of a wailing beast,

never to walk the earth in comfort and peace.

--

There were no "pleases" or prayers, no seeking of aid or a belief that things would get better.

She was a haunt, a throwaway, a scapegoat.

She built herself on her past, the only feeling that of what had made her.

When the time came for a name, there was but one.

"I am Lilith."
