Ella DuChamps - In The Arms of a Loving God

Even before she was born, Ella DuChamps had heard the myriad voices of her dead god -- heard its whispers in her head from the instant she arrived screaming and squalling into the world it would one day claim as its own. She had heard them every day since and there had never been a day where she had not felt its presence -- nor had there ever been a day when she felt its love. She would devote her life and her afterliffe to its worship, dedicate herself to ensuring its plans came to fruition... For she loved her god and she knew it loved her in return and that she would be well rewarded when the day came...

My undead necromancer, Ella DuChamps receiving a well-deserved reward from her god, The Myriad. The Myriad is one of the major forces in my setting -- a being from "outside" the bounds of The Ordered Cosmos. Basically, an eldritch being. It was "killed" sometime during prehistory but it continues to exist on the margins of reality and interfere with the world.

The giant hole in Ella's chest is from when she was originally killed at a Halloween party in 1928 by a spurned lover. When she was brought back in the late 2010s, her body couldn't be completely renewed and so, a minor manifestation of her deity was placed within her to allow her to continue to function...

And it also plays with her a lot.
