Role

Chapter 15

Kytria has seen many of her plans fall apart. The Roast, while fun, did not
start any cross-cabal fighting. Her place at the Inn remains mostly the same,
though she lacks the motivation to paint or decorate. She found momentary
happiness - and something close to affection - in a connection with Dohri, but
realized that it would end in pain. As a result, she hurt Dohri intentionally
- telling the Elder Prophet that she had killed elves while attaining the
pinnacle of her guild. Knowing that this wasn't enough, Kytria also reminded
Dohri of her own crimes against her elven kin. Dohri will no longer speak to
her, and Kytria feels relief and anguish in equal measure. Will all of her
relationships end similarly?

For now, she attempts to regain her confidence in her art and to make sense of
her feelings towards her remaining family. All the distractions in the world
won't allow her to forget the apparitions of Mother and Father. She hopes to
work through the pain from both of her lives by painting a family portrait.
Pressure to act claws at her consciousness - reminding her of her pledges at
the Cathedral. Precious years are wasting away, and the name Daucora is known
to few. Living as a tormented ghost does little to bring Loss into the world,
and Kytria ruminates on this daily.
