Returning threats

[majestic_keiki]

[Following the battle on Ankaia, Kei can be found looking over a number of reports on recent political events and debriefings of recent battles.]

Jiart returned, despite having died. Remnants of the Zentraedi invasion turned up with him. Several Zentraedi fleets are coming. Then the Void returned and Fumerco popped up again despite Ishin killing its leadership, the revelations about its actions and the needs of maintaining the peace with Ankaia. And it proceeded to continue what it had been doing before.

Lots of enemies are coming back when they shouldn't.

So I wonder...How likely is it that this isn't related to the Lady?

Yeah. The whole thing is weird. It does seem odd that the Lady would focus on us this much, but I can't think of a better explanation.

[caressedthedarkness]

It could be a side-effect of simply being involved as well...

...I am used to being such a villain, though.

[majestic_keiki]

Yeah, she might just be dragging everybody into it.

...But what do you mean you're used to being a villain?

[caressedthedarkness]

In the Kijin Realm, I had to make many decisions... most of which were not easy.

Because of that, there are Kijin who still see me as an oppressor and a tyrant.

[majestic_keiki]

I didn't know that. But given what Invicta's followers were like, I guess it was inevitable.

[caressedthedarkness]

...Invicta was a leader who bestowed freedom to his own people, and that is why some still follow his ways. Outside of their duty as warriors, the Kijin have had very little in the way of laws and regulations.

I... have been hoping to change that. So, they are not entirely wrong.

It makes me think... perhaps the way they see me is the same way the Unity Group has viewed those who attempt to force their will upon the world.

[majestic_keiki]

Maybe...But it's probably not a bad idea. We've seen what some Kijin do when they don't have any laws. I imagine that lawlessness gets pretty dangerous for some of the Kijin too.
