#Lilith came and killed a couatl right before it gave Zeal it's egg

[ashmcgivern]

Disbelief, when I first heard the news It left me angry and confused Knocked the wind out of my soul When we lost what made us whole And now there's a heat behind my eyes And I can't stop asking "Why?", Why?", Why?" - Tragedy Is Not the End | Joel Ansett

#dungeons and dragons #couatl #tiefling #dragons #warlock #asharts #zeal #aiben #YEAH SO UH #Lilith came and killed a couatl right before it gave Zeal it's egg #and now Z is carrying this couatl egg around and is hyper protective over it like a fucking brooding hen #he doesnt want anyone knowing about it #because z is in the business of keeping secrets #and he feels like if opposing sides find out hes got it theyll come after it #cuz after all why kill the parent? #the couatl told Z to instruct its child to 'not let the morphirium be rejoined with its own kind' #morphirium being this thing that we're trying to find in the campaign #its a big magic rock tldr #but its something incredibly important if a couatl was once on this task is how zeal is thinking #and so he doesnt want to fail #the couatls dying wish was to give the egg to zeal and to have him instruct it so #he will do that as best he can #zeal is dealing with a lot of 'why me' feelings tho #lots has happened to him and hes overwhelmed #lots of pressure #has to find the morphirium to be able to keep talking to xan #has to protect this egg #has to navigate his dead sister being alive #stressed boy
