In one of Elektra’s nightmares, an animated Tiger plushie keeps asking her about what happened during that “noodle” incident. More likely what happened in the alleyway behind that noodle restaurant…
A very *buff* Tiger plushie at that.
The Incident is seeming more suspicious.
Elektra had to be “told” she had relations with a tiger? If the Stripes is a guarantee post-event, as Cinder was sick immediately, wouldn’t Elektra know herself?
If not, who told her that she did? And how’d she find a tiger in the city, let alone one willing to do that with a palace guard?
Starting to think the whole thing was fabricated, to oust the loyal Lightning dragons and install the Fire dragons as the new guard. My guess is Schaddig had a role in it. Being a fire dragon herself and pulling a lot of court strings.
Including possibly inventing the illness to be used against political enemies. First Elektra, then Cinder. Moreover, what else has she fabricated? The magic removal process? That she’s a priestess at all?
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there are a lot of questions about it all.
It was brought up before that the Tiger was Princess Kiriad whom the Dragons had captured at the time.
It’s been covered that it was likely Scyde, possibly broken into the city to rescue Kiriad, since she’s the princess’ bodyguard. Regardless, the rest still stands.
Sounds like some political manipulation going on, since someone tried and succeeded in getting rid of the lightning dragons from the royal guard.
Could Elektra also just have gotten blackout drunk? That might result in a bit of short-term memory loss about what transpired after she knocked back a few too many.
Okay i can honestly see Elektra doing that cause she and Scyde definitely have that weird sort of chemistry.
But having no memory of it is odd, especially if Stripes is a post-guarantee.
That implies a dragon erased her memories, but if that the case… this implies two things. One she slept with Kiriad back when Kiriad was capture to be queen Oscura pet or B) was seduced and slept with the scout that revealed the inner workings of the capital that rescued the princess.
Either way, it would explain why she knew she slept with a tiger but not much else. (cause that would be a massive disaster if the truth comes out), and as that one reviewer said, inventing a fake illness to prevent a screw up like that from happening again (If so, SCREW YOU Schaddig).
And also screw you Sombrana. This is emotional blackmail to force Elektra into a suicidal mission that will have Oscura demand Sombrana be hunted and killed. (Cause seriously that message just reeks of intimidation).
When Sombrana uses intimidation, it’s super effective!
EDIT it was Scyde I just realized that it was Elektra and Scyde.
Those two just can’t stay away from each other, can they?
Um I do not think it is going to end both well . if elektra would of spared gaia the city would not be crumbled but she choose a murderer well I am rooting for eone to plot there escape take there eggs and go far off to the north west plus I think oscuras back is sort of having a back pain orthritus issue plus I know what eone will do if they found out if a tiger speek there language I know tamsyn would talk to mabel and than to eone show the evidence of there leader I think the earth dragon will never be the architecture of the city again I mean after the voclanic incident the city is going to be in more ruins .
If the Imperial City needs to be rebuilt, Earth Dragons are gonna be the ones for the job. Her Majesty Queen Oscura had better be extra nice to them, right?
Salient Sins
When Words Widen Old Wounds
Elektra and Lady Sombrana spout over the sent intent of the upcoming air show: “You will rue the day you rejected us.” Sombrana sticks to her strong worded way that they, as the loyal lightning lords should never have been discharged from their dignified domain. But Sombrana shares a scant statement about an incident where in Elektra allegedly inebriated engaged in inappropriate activity with a captive under their care. Rather than try to tell a retold tale, Elektra instead counts down the consequences that came in the outcome: Career cut, reputation wrecked, and the stinging scandal that scarred her and her dear daughter. Apparently as an addition to that other Wings of Lightning arose to announce their outrage at her ousting. But the regal ranters soon roared into a rampaging riot resulting in their expulsion from her Eminence’s eminent abode. Elektra establishes that the individuals involved should have realized their actions reflected badly and tried to repair the damage dealt but that she cannot and does not bear responsibility for their reactions.
But Sombrana stands proud and advises that Elektra had been an eminent entity amongst her fellow fliers and she can make them such again but would not pass on the vocal recounting of her obstinate opinions about them. It seems Elektra is at a dead end with no way to display determination to disavow Sombrana’s static sentiments.
With the flight set to rise into the sky, a bout of blackmailing is beginning. Is Sombrana set to soar? Or can Elektra deliver a stunning return stroke? And what about the Lightning Ladies, will they ascend to storm their way in or remain static?
There’s definitely gonna be some cost-benefit analyses going on amongst them!
Our dear empress wannabe really has *no* idea how to treat allies. Elektra has been in a leadership position for years in difficult circumstances and Sombrana just insulted that. Considering she’s only alive and well thanks to Elektra’s good will and respect for her past position, she’s playing a dangerous game of biting the hand that’s feeding her…
Better hope Elektra doesn’t bite back!
