Role

Chapter 9

Invoker. Archmage. Weaver of Elements. Zrakweh had finally accomplished the
pinnacle of his guild teachings. He was recognized about Thera now, famous for
his magic and known to his enemies as a feared force of nature. He had risen
above and beyond what was normal for his people, what was expected of his
people. He had shed his savage ways and had become an intellectual, a
professor of dark magic. He often looked down on his kin, feeling that most of
them had been passed over of the talents he now boldly possessed. They had
their place in the cycle, their path, and he had his. The cycle would continue
with or without them, he well knew. Sometimes he wished he could educate them
himself, but his eyes were on the horizon now, at a different fate. The Scions
of Eternal Night had come to respect him, he had firmly secured his home in
the Chasm. He brought power, power and the promise of something more to come.
The Promise of darker days. Zrakweh continued to seek power and knowledge
though, never content with what he had learned, there was always something
greater to seek still. There was Lady Rarywey, who he continued to seek and
praise. He returned to the drowned tree often to wash himself of the worries
of tomorrow, so he could focus on the present. The Goddess of Weh had not
shown herself yet to him, but that only made him strive to be better, to be
wiser, to become something she would be interested in. He was a diamond in the
rough, the rare abomination of dark magic in the cycle that continued to serve
it and learn more about its ways each day. He was not fool enough to think he
had Weh figured out. He did not even have Sra figured out yet. Sra was
continuing always, and he focused on living it, while Weh loomed on some
distant horizon, waiting to take him away some day at a time he could not
foreshadow. He lived on, constantly seeking reminders that his fate had led
him down this path for a reason, and he would only become greater and wiser as
time continued to roll on, taking him further on his journey of enlightenment.
