So, I think that Rayla should keep the Bowblade. She's seems very much capable of forging the Bowblade onto a path with newfound purpose and using it for something even better. Like breaking the cycles of bloodshed and violence that's tainted it. Rayla could do it. What do you say?
*a long, troubled silence*
That weapon was forged for one purpose: to let me kill as efficiently as possible. I have a lifetime's worth of blood on my hands, much of it shed with that bowblade. I would not wish such a fate for Rayla.
They say the humans can change their fate. I don't know if that applies to elves or not, but... I have never heard of it applying to a weapon.
I suppose if anyone can change my bowblade's fate, it is Rayla. But... I am not comfortable with her trying. If she fails, she might end up like me.
That has historically not gone well.
I would take it back, if I could. I would take so much back.
