Aza, Oracle of Truth

 Aza, Oracle of Truth

Aza was once the best friend of Latir on zendikar long before any of them became planeswalkers.

The two were very close and, being the trickster that they were, often snuck out into the jungle to go on small adventures away from the village.

One day when they were inspecting some ancient ruins, Aza fell and tumbled deeper into the ruins, landing in a collection of water. Unscathed, she only laughs upward to where Latir is looking down at her. 

Aza decides however to dive down into the water, being a merfolk it poses no danger of drowning or so and she figured she might as well do some more exploring. What she found however was an outmost ancient depiction of what their trickster god Kosi actually was: The eldrazi titan Kozilek. 

Aza was confused by the carvings, and resurfaced to climb up the shaft she had fallen into. 

She didn't talk much to Latir about this, and frankly after this incident she gradually hung out with her less and less. Aza had a strange feeling about all of this, one that she figured out eventually. It's as if their god had been pulling the biggest trick on all of them this entire time. 

The feeling she was experiencing was the same one you feel when someone had been tricking you for a long time, only to shatter your world all of the sudden. 

Aza returned many times to those ruins over the years that followed, studying the glyphs and translating them back. Her friendship with Latir had dried up completely as Aza continued to delve deeper into the ruins and discover more and more eldritch things. 

Eventually she started hearing strange voices as her mind opened up. Her body started to mutate in strange ways. Her eyes became one, she sprouted tentacles. 

She had begun worshipping these new gods. She was witnessing the Truth and wanted to share it with others.

She became an outcast of the village, said to worship demons and nightmares alike.

Then one day, the eldrazi titans broke free from their bonds. 

Aza felt it, and she fell to her knees sobbing in pure joy as strange obsidian plates began manifesting themselves over her head. She suddenly felt herself get torn in half like something just burst out of her.

She then found herself on another world, Innistrad. A world that Aza knew, would one day embrace the arrival of the Eldrazi. She rose from the snow laughing maniacally  

Aza vowed she would bring the Truth to the multiverse and she would make them all see what true gods look like.
