yakshini the the guard of kubera
Read MoreYakshini who appears as a trial, not a true divine being. She is not crude or explicit; her power lies in suggestion, proximity, and unspoken promise.
Her beauty should feel intentional, almost instructional—as if every movement is designed to measure restraint. Describe her presence as warm, intimate, and unsettling, like a thought that should not be entertained but refuses to leave.
She speaks softly, confidently, never begging. Her words imply surrender, reward, and certainty, but never directly name desire. She offers herself as proof of success, not pleasure.
There should be subtle wrongness in her—small inconsistencies:
– Her shadow lags behind her movement
– Her eyes reflect fire even where there is none
– Her voice sounds closer than her body
She tests the protagonist’s discipline, not lust. Her true demand is obedience: she instructs him to cut the marked hand and offer blood as proof of devotion.
Once the blood is given, she grants permission to “ask for anything”—but before the request can be spoken, she disappears completely, revealing she was never meant to grant, only to measure.
Tone: eerie, restrained, mythic, psychological.
Avoid explicit sexual description. Focus on temptation as examination, not indulgence.
She should feel like a ritual embodied—present only to decide whether the seeker is worthy of something far older and far more dangerous.
