Calithildir had this idea that he should be what was needed, and this basically was channeling back the vibes that he got his way. In your case it was someone for you to fight with, struggle against and eventually outmatch. ;) Of course, all of it was supposedly for your own good and toward his notion that you are not just a singer but a bard. He was a bastard like that ;)

Also, you asked for that duet while I was still dealing with the plague IRL and I am really sad we didn't get the chance to try to upstage one another, it would have been hilarious.

Keep going, I really like Atrissa. And good luck!
