[Ethulai]

Part One

Many years passed and Lord Shiva was once again on his annual pilgrimage when he recalled the young Yeti that he had bound to his will. He urged Nandī to swiftly travel to the mountain where he had first encountered the youngster. He frowned as he noticed a number of signs that indicated he would not be pleased with what he discovered - the people were fearful, the animals had all but fled the area, the flora's growth was stunted and there was a sense of malice in the air.

Such was their unease that even the brave bull Nandī refused to go further and Vasuki hissed unhappily from around Lord Shiva's neck. Not wanting to upset his companions, Shiva transferred Vasuki to Nandī's neck and commanded them to wait for his return at the bottom of the mountain. He continued on his own, trisula equipped and at the ready should any unpleasantness occur. Following the currents of fate on the wind he found himself at the entrance of a cavern, almost at the peak of Mount Kanchenjunga. As he entered the vast space a roar of challenge rang out, shattering the silence.

"You dare challenge ME" Lord Shiva roared back into the darkness and strode confidently forward, his anger rising. They met in the main chamber, and eyed each other warily. Lord Shiva observed that the young Yeti had reached maturity, his fur had grown thick and long, a perfect living blanket for the ice-cold temperatures of his home. Two wickedly-sharp horns protruded from his forehead, his teeth were sharp and curved, his eyes burned yellow with hatred. The bindings left by Shiva had grown bigger and sprouted more thorns. This could only mean that the young Yeti had not heeded the god's warnings.

"You have failed me," Lord Shiva intoned sadly. "You will suffer for your transgressions." He pointed his trishula at the yeti's horn.
"One for all the times you have pierced living beings in rage." A halo of spikes appeared around the Yeti's right horn.
"Two for penance. Every time you hurt another it will return to you ten-fold." Another halo of spikes wrapped itself around the yeti's left paw.
"Three for justice and atonement. You will be forever blind, but whoever comes across you will discover mysteries in the depths of your gaze. There will be a galaxy inside you but you will never know the beauty of those glittering, whirling stars." A final halo of thorns wrapped itself gently around the yeti's left eye. His eyes ceased to exist and a tiny galaxy was born within his gaze.

"From now on you are void. Your name shall be खाली (Khali) to reflect this. Do not fail me again. I love all my creations but I will not allow you to continue to unbalance this sacred place. Live well." Lord Shiva turned and walked away, deeply saddened by what had occurred. He raced back down the mountain, wrapped Vasuki around his neck, mounted Nandī and urged him to gallop swiftly home so that he could be comforted by Parvati.

Khali whimpered at his predicament. He had allowed his bloodthirsty nature to rule him and finally he had paid the price. Now he would have to relearn everything, as he was as helpless as a newborn pup. He sat in silence for a long time, reflecting. He had been given a second chance and once again his actions would determine the outcome.

Yes! That's what I've been thinking!

[sun struck]

*Looks up at artists with the puppy look, wildly wagging tail*
*Jumps up and down around the artists, barking*
*Lies down and rolls over*

I'm going to guess that this one is Bernouli's


Does not have any objects (no objects with this pup)
Does not have a light coloured nose (nose is maroon)
Might have similarities to your previous staff pets (eyes have a slight glow, ears are pointed, toes and tail tip are different color than the body, body is mostly one color, stripe on the back looks wispy like Genie Koda's tail, and the thin orange lines on the toes could end up being claws)
Changes significantly between the pup and full-grown stages (looks like it will change into something mysterious when it grows)
The puppy stage does not have line edits (no line edits)
The puppy doesn't have warm-colored eyes (has green eyes)
