As a demon, all Ashrah knew was pain and violence. She assumed all beings, in all realms, lived as she did. But once she journeyed outside of the Nethrrealm, she realized her error. Other realms were places of beauty and peace. She could not aid in their defilement.
Ashrah fled from her sister's demons. Along the way, she found an enchanted kriss. It was a demon slayer, which she used to finish her pursuers. She was stunned to discover that using a kriss to destroy evil was purifying her soul. And that if she continued to do so, she could free herself from the Netherrealm.
Ashrah senses that her final absolution is near. Once achieved, she will finally enter the light.
