Formless One
“The Engulfing Calm”
Fourteen year old Madoka Kaname was a young woman with incredible potential, but one with no purpose to her life. She went through the motions of existence, living day to day with her friends, and generally acted as any young woman (if a slightly depressed one) would.
And then the whispers came.
Cries for help, callings of her name, thought and promises of power beyond her belief – and all she was to do was act in Their service. They would give her anything she requested, immortality, love, money or power beyond compare, in exchange for her contract. But Madoka was a sensible girl, if not a perfect one. She watched and waited, mulling over the request she could make of the things drilling into her mind, and when the screams became almost too much to bear she made her precise request: to gain the power to aid all those that would fall into danger, without affecting the life they would have lived regardless.
As punishment and reward both for her selfless ambivalence – for what could be punished in such a calmly worded wish? - They twisted her form beyond recognition. Her consciousness expanded with her flesh, her calm smile remaining even as she became something else entirely. When the gods' work was done, she was as one of Them – newly born to the world, still focused on her wish, but some other being. Although her new name has been lost to the void, only whispered amongst those that should not be heard, some speak in reverence of the Engulfing Calm. And though few remember the young girl once known as Madoka Kaname, some have spoken of a pink-haired young woman with an eternally calm smile acting as a school nurse.
As for where she truly resides, well... the basement door within this school is already employee-access only. And beyond that, at the bottom of the stairs that appeared within one day? Nobody knows.
