Hilya is a General for the Nagini Empire.  She has a one of a kind legendary sword forged by the Asok Clan of the mountains, when used causes a large radius to explode.  It is very dangerous and has very disastrous effects, not only to the unfortunate ones around the wielder at the time of use, but also to the wielder itself.  The sword quickly drains the life-force of the user and none since the sword has been forged has ever been recorded to be able to use the sword more than once except Hilya. (The past few caretakers of the sword resemble something like burnt raisins after use).

Here Hilya is forced to use her sword when surrounded by the vicious aswang.

This painting is in my sketchbook and I used Gouache and ballpoint pen.
