When ordered to carry out a task that would condemn thousands of innocent souls for no purpose beyond amusement, Sharvara hesitated.
Only for a moment.
But in the Hells, a moment is enough.
Her master immediately recognized the flaw that had developed within his servant. Sharvara was no longer a loyal hound.
She was becoming a person.
For such a failure, there could be only one punishment.
Exile.
Stripped of her position and cast from the Nine Hells, Sharvara was thrown into the mortal world with nothing but the body she inhabited and the voices of the other two souls constantly accompanying her.
For the first time in her existence, she had no master.
No orders.
No purpose.
No one to protect.
The freedom she had unknowingly desired felt far more terrifying than any punishment.
For a time, she wandered aimlessly, struggling to understand what to do with herself. The three souls argued constantly. One wished to return to the Hells and reclaim their place. One wanted revenge against the master who discarded them. One simply wanted to find a reason to keep moving forward.
Eventually, Sharvara realized something.
Her need to serve had never truly been about obedience.
It had always been about protecting others.
That instinct remained, even after everything else had been taken away.
Now Sharvara travels the world searching for a new purpose. Not a master to command her, but someone worthy of her loyalty. Someone she can protect not because she is ordered to, but because she chooses to.
Until then, the Three-Fold Hound continues her journey, guided by three souls sharing one body, each seeking a place where they finally belong.
