"You've been stuck here for far too long.." The young child would whisper, a hand on my shackles and a worried look on her face.
"It's okay, my child, It's been like this for as long as I can remember.. I-... I'm used to it."
She stays quiet, her eye fixated on the shackles, on the jail cell bars, on the dirt and grime of the room. Her expression sours, filled with an emotion I couldn't quite grasp. Was she mad? Why? This faith is what I've been given, It can't be changed, In the end it's what I deserve.
She frowns, standing up and patting her dress clean.
"I will get you out of here, I don't care if it takes me eons. I refuse to let you suffer." And the totality in her voice, in her expression, in the furrow of her brow, somehow it brought me comfort. She fully believed herself capable.
And maybe I did too.

Trivia
- Used to live in a small town before he was incarcerated. Has been stuck in a jailcell for around 6,000 years, possibly more.
- Failed vessel for the conjunction. Was created from a dying venus flytrap.
- Body is rather weak, he bruises easily and deals with random spells of pain.
- Has no control over his powers. Being around him causes people to become deathly sick.
He was vaguely aware of his surroundings before he gained a body. He rememberes everything being dry, alot of flies being around yet mostly concentrating on a pile of something he couldn't quite decipher. He remembers feeling close to death and then... Nothing.
Everything was quiet for a long, long, long time. He wasn't quite sure were he was. He didn't think he was dead, just that everything felt quiet and peaceful. He started gaining emotions after he arrived in that place- Confusion, anger, sadness, joy, etc. He didn't know what was happening to him.
The last thing he remembers from that place is hearing screaming, bickering, hearing two (or was it four?) voices arguing before his arm was yanked and pain consumed it, He woke up close to a town soon after.
Venus wandered around for a while before a small family took him in, they gave him clothes and a name. He lived with them for a very long time but slowly the family begun to get sicker.
First the mother passed, leaving a newborn in her place. The doctors said she was too sick to have given birth.
Second was the eldest child, pox covered her frail body and slowly drained her of life.
Third was the youngest, the father couldn't stop it. He was too young, too new, the sickness came out of nowhere and it hit too hard to avoid.
The last was the father, too stricken by grief to take care of himself. Venus cried, and cried, and cried, he begged his father to go look for a medic, and when he finally did it was too late. The father had gone.
Venus had no time to grieve, families picking him up then passing away one by one. The town decided he was the problem, the sole survivor of all these tragedies had to be the cause.
"He's a monster! He'll bring tragedy to the rest of us!" They yelled, throwing him in the dungeon and tossing the key. "You'll stay here, we can't let you go. I'm sorry, It's what you deserve." They said.
He was too tired to fight back, he just wanted to grieve. He didn't want to hurt anyone. He thought the villagers were justified in their anger... And perhaps they were right, perhaps he WAS a monster.
He'd accepted the punishment. He'd remain there, forgotten. Resting in the dirt and grime of the dungeon that trapped him.
Venus has the ability to 'up' peoples luck in certain situations. He's only capable of this when extremely depressed which... Is often. He's only kept alive in the town because people use this for their benefit.
He can cause the flora around him to grow faster when in a pleasant mood. When in a bad mood the flora around him wilts and rotts faster.
Being around him makes people become sick. It also causes preexisting illnesses to get worse. He has absolutely no control over this power and it cannot be stopped.
