Chapter 3

His studies progressed, as did his basic understandings of the Cycle. He was
always learning through fire, decay, rot, death. All of these things helped
him understand the nature of Weh, the end of the cycle. His place would be
bringing Weh where it needed to be brought. He would not hesitate to carry out
his dark tasks. His magic grew stronger daily, he was sharp eyed and listened
closely to the world around him. Watching other Therans, learning everything
he could. Each new insight was a lesson of wisdom that would carry him further
into life. He barely thought about his time in the Swamp, and he rarely
returned to the Saurian Village, even to rest. Darkness stirred within him,
blackening his soul as he leaned towards the end of the cycle, leaving other
Saurians and beings to care for Sra. Each soul in this world had its place
while it resided in Thera, before they embraced Weh. He found that many
Therans feared death, they did not embrace the end. They clung to life and
fought it at every turn. This disturbed Zrakweh, and he took it upon himself
to help those poor souls embrace Weh, even if it were to be done with force.
He continued to study the elements, the magics of Invocation were easy for him
to study, it was as natural to him as the grand cycle. It simply took time,
another process as all things in life were. He began to spiritually connect to
the cycle, and in doing so was made aware of the Goddess Rarywey, the Lady of
the Waterways and Goddess of the cycle. She understood all parts of the cycle,
she would understand his drive to serve the forces of Weh. He put himself to
the task of finding her river, with hopes that in time he would learn to
understand his place in the cycle even more and grow closer to it through the
Goddess Rarywey. He knew his path would not be easy, he had a long journey
ahead, and much to learn. But his spirit was consumed with purpose, and he was
determined to use his time in this world well, to learn all he could before
his time in this cycle was done.
