A witch on the front lines sounded just right

First Sketch of my Celestial-Warlock for our D&D Campaign.

As an adult, she underwent an initiation to become a priestess of the god of the flow of time. Within the walls of the monastery, the clergy devoted themselves to divination and the study of possible futures.

Over time, she rose through the ranks from the lowest position in the hierarchy, eventually reaching a place close to the very top. But at the height of her ascent, she foresaw her own downfall.

Haunted day after day by the vision and consumed by paranoia, she eventually discovered a way into the long-sealed chambers of the Forbidden Library. There, she immersed herself in knowledge that revealed how to cross the boundary between merely predicting time and actually controlling it.

Armed with this forbidden knowledge, she overthrew the ruling hierarchy and seized control of the monastery herself. From that moment on, she became increasingly reclusive, rarely leaving her chambers.

The only thing that now breaks the silence is the steady ticking of the monastery’s clocks — a quiet reminder that, sooner or later, every debt must be paid.
