Guild Wars 2

I see it now. It all makes sense.

This was Mordremoth’s plan from the beginning. Asleep, trapped, too weak to free him/herself, the Elder Dragon needed a huge infusion of magical energy to awaken. So through her dreams, she hammered her thoughts into the head of a newborn Sylvari, driving her to madness and giving her the natural goal of wanting to silence the voice.

Poor Ceara. She was just a tool of an Elder Dragon all along. Something Mordremoth used to get the power it needed to fully awakened. Scarlet, perhaps in her madness, perhaps mislead by Mord, thought she was throwing off the shackles of the Dream and determining her own destiny. But she was still under someone’s thumb, anyway.

Scarlet is a much more tragic figure now. She could have been something great. A marvelous asset to the Sylvari and the people of Tyria. Instead her genius was twisted and wasted on evil.

Still enjoyed putting my finisher on her crazy head, though.
