Azrael and Chimamla both have their share of worshipers and symbols. One battle-ridden woman in particular was way into Azrael’s ideals. As a way to supposedly appease the entity, she had sacrificed people as a gift ignoring the blood in her hands. One day, she dies and briefly sees Azrael but instead her soul is sent to Cerberus. The woman manages to escape Cerberus with some slashes and bites. She sees that she can’t exactly die and is forced to endure torture forever. Was her gift not good enough for Azrael? It meant nothing to her, she would appease death in some form somehow. She had noticed she had started to slowly mutate. Cerberus’s gift and curse to her. Eventually she found a skull within the caverns and fought through everything in her way eventually earning the name of Bellona for her dedication to fighting in wars and battles.
Azrael has met Bellona a few times, rather neutral all things considered compared to her own madness and dedication towards them. She still kills for them but it’s not exactly what Azrael wants. Some of the souls weren’t meant to die and were actually innocent. Bellona loves death but doesn’t know much better, her mind and mutation combined making her less human.
