Empress Caiatl: Difference between revisions

As Caiatl watched the Guardian complete each severance ritual from her ship, the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul continued to haunt her relentlessly. As the Nightmare of the Dominus was the only thing standing between her and Calus, Caital prepared to assist the situation, by confronting Ghaul's Nightmare. However, Eris was afraid that severance wouldn't work because Caital was not bound by the initial binding ritual and advised the Empress to stay aboard her flagship until Eris could think of another solution. Unfortunately, Calus took advantage of this and manipulated his daughter. With her patience at its limits, Caital sent out a message to the Vanguard, issuing her challenge to the Nightmare of Ghaul. In a panic, Eris sent the Guardian to make sure that Caital was alright. As the Guardian continued to make their way towards Caital's position, the Empress kept asking the Guardian not to assist her. However, Eris kept telling Caital to at least wait until the Guardian made it to her location. All the while the Nightmare of Ghaul continued taunting her about how weak and pathetic she had become now, even mocking her about how she failed to protect [[Torobatl]] from Xivu Arath's Invasion. After the Guardian finally arrived at Caital's position and began the severance ritual, she looked upon the Nightmare of Ghaul and told it how she idolized and looked up to Ghaul as he taught her to be fierce. However, the Nightmare scolded the Empress, stating that she had forgotten his teachings which led to Torobatl burning under her banner and forcing her to seek the aid of humanity, who were originally her enemies. As the ritual commenced, Caital strained and struggled against the Nightmare of Ghaul as the Guardian fought another Nightmare of the Dominus. After slaying the second Nightmare, Caital was brought to her knees and became heavily exhausted as the Nightmare of Ghaul shouted at Caital, telling her that she was not "the Caital that Ghaul trained" and demanded to know where that Caital was. The Empress responded that "she Died" when Torobatl fell, to which The Dominus's Nightmare agreed and responded that the old Caital would stay there. Eris informed the Empress that, without the binding ritual, the Severance ritual had failed. Furious, Caital told Eris that she didn't need a "Hive Tainted Witch" to explain her failure. Eris obliged and ended the communication.
