Exlor
Is it his grandmother? Maybe when his mom fled from the compact, the rest of her family was seen as traitors too? Maybe his grandmother was forced to flee also or was captured and jettisoned out into space in nothing but an escape capsule? I can only think of 2 reasons why she would haunt Ves in particular. Either she's drawn by the metal scroll or she's drawn by a blood/spiritual connection like his mother was on the glowing planet.
Ves have you heard of occam razor a thinking that the simplest answer is closer to the right answer until more info debunks it or reinforce the answer. As you claimed ignorance leads to magic or other fantastical answers to many unknowns but have you not look at yourself that you except that fact that you are getting something for nothing. The idea in equivalent exchange or Newton laws of force could be happening do to your ignorance. You try so hard to stick to your principles but once it benefits you you throw those principles out the window I do šapplaud you of your hypocrisy š¤£.
I donāt suspect Cassandra Breyer of being his mother... Ves should have an impression of his mother as Cynthia Larkenson Ves's mother, {wedding photographer, graphic artist}, disappeared when he was around 6 years old if I recall correctly. Iām not ruling out Grandmother as a possibility, after all his mother was several hundred years old before encountering Ryncol Larkenson, Ves's father, a.k.a The Dark Cleaver in the Nyxian Gap. If Cynthiaās spirit can reform and animate the original Crystal artifact into her current body due to it possessing spiritually then she should definitely be able to make use of Cassandraās remains with its strong spirituality as an anchor. It might also solve her low spiritually issues resulting in her always relying on draining Ves. I am surprised Ves is not concerned his mother is going to show up and screw with his latest money printing treasure. You just know she can detect a, ādisturbance in the forceā.
Ves will totally is definitely not in control anymore. That leaves him with choices in ABCs. A: being screw in **** will create more ****. B: always creating death flags for himself till heās royal ****ed by his own fault C: (highly unlikely) will slowly change into someone less disaster of himself, and stopping doing that **** that gets him in the back!!
