Chapter 2

As Qhedraba progressed on her studies of death magic, she has learned to
quite enjoy it, the sound of reanimated heads hurled at her enemies, the
weak cries as she numbs their grasp, and the pleasure of forcing them to sleep.
Magic and Death go well together for her, especially if one can apply one to
lead swiftly to the other.

Surrounding ones by allies and trusting them doesn't usually work, as
evidenced by her poor mother. Thus, Qhedraba can use people to her purposes
but rather happily discard them and never trust others much at all.
Such trust leads to anguish and pain usually, as some may be able to learn.
No, Qhedraba will look after herself and the best person to look after herself
is indeed Qhedraba. The weavings of her spells must be precise as she draws
more and more advanced power strands, and fortunately she feels the invisible
hand of the Tower of Magic somehow helping her, with an unseen connection
to the power within. Or perhaps the Veil itself wills Qhedraba to succeed.

And it does seem that one Aylosi might be useful to Qhedraba, her focus
being fairly similar, but that still remains to be seen. Help without worship.
Perhaps that can be arranged. Qhedraba does not intend to be a blind fanatic.
