Role

Chapter 6

Continuing to have the emotional maturity of a toddler, Zoraikla found herself
enthralled by Arleshi's cheerful attitude and friendliness towards her.
Offering her a valuable orb in return for her friendship, the saurian's heart
metaphorically melted when they reacted with confusion and thought they
already were friends.

Unfortunately shortly afterwards, in an ill-advised plot to draw Grivs out to
strike her in Galadon, Zoraikla also broke the law and was warranted. In a
fitful rage, she attacked the Spire in revenge for Mezai flagging her - and
when she lost her armaments thanks to the Empire coming and intervening, she
persisted until she slew the Executioner, but did not find her things in the
pit.

Bahrynor and Mezai held them on purpose. Just to spite her, she was certain.
So she pens a missive full of lies towards the high magistrates in desperation
to retrieve her own things.

She is terrified of both Arleshi and Tamazin's reactions, but she believes
it's far too late for her to turn back now. It was always too late for her to
turn back in regards to everything, no matter what anyone said.

After all, she was a Scion, bitter and lonely and with no ability to keep
friends because of the evil and chaos that consumed her heart and left her a
raging demon at the worst of times.

Perhaps some day she would learn some kind of self control but it did not seem
to be this day.
Additionally, she seeks to understand the task set on her to learn what
'water' is. After a talk with Tsiynil over it in which she barely controlled
herself from killing the water nymph - only considering their relative
strengths stopped her from attempting - she feels she has a greater
understanding of water, the river of souls, and her place in the world.

But philosophy isn't great at stopping her from screwing everything up for
herself through her endless fits of wrath and desire to slaughter whatever's
making her feel bad.
