Rykia

Mother, where do I even start.

She's creepy, okay? She's creepy and a sadist and a murderer, and she collects souls or something.

She killed the Tyrant.

She came to us at the top of the crazy one's reign, wher her and her mate had decided that we were to become the next cool place to learn alchemy and she had opened her short lived school where she was teacher and headmistress at the same time and basically only went on and on about how great she was and I don't know alchemy at all but I guess, she was good okay, but the people were here to learn, not to hear hours of vanaglorious chatter .


Anyway. She was one of the students. Time a month, she was the only student. Thinking back on it it was clear she couldn't stand her teacher, but apparently she was able to pick up the facts from the prattle, and to learn.

All she seemed to want was to learn. As a guest of our ruler she never contributed nothing, never helped out, keeping to herself and her books and her machines. She's a technomage, she can bound souls to a machine and control them, and is very skilled in building them out of anything. That darn chicken of hers is practically alive. Almost nipped my tail twice!

All in all though, she didn't cause trouble and we ignored her. Just another passerby.

I guess crazy as she was, our Tyrant really had to be something at Alchemy because that's all that kept her alive in her last years.

The moment Rykia didn't have anything else to learn, she showed her true colors.

She could have just left, but no? I don't know how or why, but she and her at the time mate decided that murder was more fun. The Knights tried to stop them, but only managed to end her mate, before meeting gruesome gruesome death themselves.

We were paralyzed, unsure how to react. She said we should thank her, we were welcome, the unsufferable idiot was gone.

We didn't thank her. Quest fled, Shy hid, probably fearing for their own life. We too feared she wanted to take the place of the fallen one, an even crueller master.

She didn't. She isn't interested in ruling us, or giving us orders, doesn't care that we are bankrupt and she killed our best warriors leaving us in a lot of crap.

She doesn't need help to survive here, and none of us left has the power to chase her away from her place, so she just....stays. Here. With her creepy robots and her books. Being an useless selfish creep. Why is she still here? What does she want from us, ? I wish she would just leave us alone. I suspect she is hiding from someone. Why a technomage so powerful would want to live here?

Oh and about her mate? Barely a week later, she replaced him with a guy with the SAME NAME AND PERSONALITY AS THE OLD ONE. Now I know this is a Noct thing. They mimick other dragons' personalities. But this? The same, I tell you! Just a different body.

Creep.

I hate her.

And her chicken.
