Chapter 6

Zrakweh found himself often walking the banks of the rivers at the far corners
of Thera, watching the timeless current swirl and twist as it made its way
further down the river, past all obstacles. Reflection was something he did
constantly, he sought answers and questioned his purpose in the world
constantly. Thinking kept him sharp, questioning even the simplest things and
truths kept him wise. He had come a long way since the swamp. He was a
powerful Invoker now, known to most of Thera in one form or another. Sometimes
he heard others lower their voices when they said his name, almost as if
afraid to say it too loudly. He was infamous. Becoming a Scion of Eternal
night only elevated confirmations that his power was still not even close to
its full potential. He was constantly studying others, learning everything he
could from what he called the "Bringers of Weh". Anyone that seemed close to
the essence of Death or Weh was interesting to Zrakweh. He was fascinated with
how people coped with it, how they saw it in theory, and how they committed
the act, the ones that die. Everyone saw Weh differently, he was finding. Even
he was seeing things differently himself after many years of what he thought
was a well educated and learned stance on it. He was learning he was still a
novice in many ways, the great cycle a grand mystery that he would never
completely understand, only something he could respect and find a place in. He
had made enemies during his climb to greatness. Enemies that had been insulted
by him, by being used or treated as fools. He knew they would come. Let them
all come, he thought. His convictions were as strong as ever, and he would
continue to return to the Drowned Tree of the Goddess Rarywey to cleanse
himself in the waters and to find insight on his fate. He was always seeking
to grow and improve himself, which kept him sharp and focused. The night
brought forth the horrors of Thera, and now he was one of them. Weh had never
been easier to touch than it was now, and he had never felt more alive than he
did now.
