Zandur is pretty much that dorky big brother that uses the kid to do the dirty work but gives her a toy afterwards.  Nice.

Did I post these? I meant to post these.

She saved his ass quite a few times.  

Ever just...dab on a kid?

The Beginning

In the hearts of men lies the true nature of men. In many ways, you could say that all men are evil. Even at our most virtuous, it is core to our nature to prefer self-preservation. In the individual sense, self-sacrifice serves a good cause, but it serves only to the selfish nature of the collective. When, in man’s nature, did we ever sacrifice the collective for something bigger? The morality of the individual is meaningless. 

This girl, Raeza. Honestly, I have learned very little about her since taking her under my wing. She has thus far surprised me twice. The first time I witnessed her strength, she threw a full grown man higher than the top of his head stood from the ground. The second, I learned she hailed from the same hold as the killer of my lord; the city of Ulfric Stormcloak. Perhaps it is the love of irony that the divines harbor that something so precious to my plan would originate from the same locale as the precursor of it, the villain himself.

When I was stripped of rank and reputation, I had long abandoned any illusion of morality. The only thing I cared for was my Empire. My men were given free reign over any man or creature that dared step in the way of my Empire. Any man or mer so lacking in intellect as to stand against my Empire was no different than any monster or beast: cut them down and feast upon them. If their bones would make for good tools, grind them down into tools. If their eyes would make for alchemy, spoon out their eyes and give them to the alchemists. Morality? Irrelevant and irreverent. My soul belonged to my king, and any that would spit upon my king would find their worth amounted to spit.

They now see me a traitor, but no traitor can serve my king as I can. Disgraced? Discarded? Hah! My only regret is having dishonored my king with shouldering the responsibility of my acts. But now? Now I will create a successor who shall surpass me. She will show the enemies of my Empire the cruelty they deserve, and I will rob her of empathy or regret. All that she will know is the honor of my Empire. And she will not squander that honor as I have.

It took me like a week to think of a costume to do with Raeza that wasn’t just “put on my robe and witch hat.”

Found a nice Tali outfit that I resized for her. Raeza got to try lots of neat, not-so-lore-friendly candies. Was fun. :)
