Role

Chapter 5

Yroaveths time back in Thera had been humbling to him, to say the least,
shaping his outlook on what it meant to become an Avatar of Discord. He was
used to presenting chaos within a grandiose manner; making flamboyant
displays of treachery and discord in the name of his Lord. However- this
would not suffice. Therans over the time he had been locked away have grown
smarter and more sensitive to the type of trickery he embodied within his
glory days.


As days passed and he rose in name and stature he began to turn inward,
regarding not just the teachings of his Lord but also the influence of the
predators of the Tree. It started when he asked himself the question, if he
was any predator within Theras Ecosystem what would it be?


A shark? Hardly he called upon brutal magic from the Ancients but that was
only one facet of his being.


A spider? Any Drow would cling to the symbolism of the spider such as his
late house had done when he was advisor. However, it never fit Yroaveth. The
delicate and intricate nature of the Spider Goddess did not sing to his soul
due to the chaotic undertone he exuded. It was for this very reason, long
before his slumber in the tome that he assisted the rebel house of Serpents
in the destruction of his former Queen. The joy that filled him within that
moment had never been quite topped. Spiders could be far more deadly in
killing intent however a snake had speed, power, and size on their side.


THE SERPENT! It rang true to him, slithering through his thoughts in a way
similar to Lyristeon himself. He was more like the serpent then he had
realized, their traits a mirror to how he needed to strike at his prey.
Laying in wait for the most opportune moment to execute an act of discourse
and strike; injecting his venom into the very fabrics of Thera and watching
the chaos that ensued. The mere thought brought extreme delight to Yroaveth,
causing his face to contort into a wicked and inhuman smile. With the notion
realized, and a direction clear- he was prepared to shift his tactics to
mirror the serpent.


Injecting his prey with venom, unhinging his jaws, and swallowing
civilization whole. Oh, how glorious it would be to dance over the ashes of
the cityscape alongside his Lord the Trickster himself.
