Fallen: Difference between revisions

At the meeting upon an asteroid within the Themis Cluster, Mithrax gets into another argument with his daughter, who still believes that Eramis will adhere to the old ways and see reason. Mithrax however, believes otherwise. Eramis herself enters the meeting, confirming that while she is empowered by the Voice in the Darkness, she is nonetheless a kell who seeks the liberation of her people. Though she takes offense to the Guardian present, she nonetheless decides to hear what Eido has to say, with the Light Scribe informing her that another party had attacked her associates and sought to claim the relics. Though intrigued and wanting to know who this party is, Eido cannot as they do not know who it is, the Shipstealer ultimately rebuffs Eido's entreaties to unite against this third party and instead asks Eido to join her and claim the relics for themselves. Mithrax rejects this, believing that the relics are far too dangerous. Eramis acknowledges this, stating that Mithrax knows their power all too well, catching Eido's interest, and demanding to know the truth. Mithrax ultimately refuses to reveal his past involving the relics, forcing Eido to hear it from Eramis.

The Shipstealer reveals to Eido that when her father was a hatchling, when the Eliskni first entered the Sol System, their people had nothing but they had discovered the Lunar Pyramid and within they discovered the tomb of [[Nezarec]], Disciple of the Witness. It was there that Mithrax's mother and her crew had carved out pieces of the disciple into the relics they now seek. Mithrax had inherited one of these relics and was invigorated by its power, desiring more, no matter the cost. This even led him to oust the Spider and his brother Siviks when they were once part of the same crew. Though the relics were ultimately scattered across the galaxy, with their influence fading, their marks remain. Eramis claims that while Mithrax had abandoned the brutality he was born into and lives a life of piety but believes that no matter how much he tries to bury his past, with "selfish displays of generosity and scraps of stolen wisdom", Mithrax will always be a liar, a thief and a killer.
