♔ XERXAT's Links
Xerxat's wife. He is aware of most of the things Erin is allowing to happen in the castle, but doesn't move to stop her. He cares little for her; neither negatively nor positively. Though he sympathized with her situation and attempted to be friendly with her, she refused his friendship, and the two of them instead established a mutual distance that has lasted over a decade.
Erin's husband. Though they were married over a decade ago, she barely knows more than his name. It's a distance of her own making, and she is fine with that. She does not care for his life; though she considers his son her own, Erin couldn't muster a care in the world for Xerxat even if you threatened her.
A boy he killed. Not a day passes where Xerxat doesn't think about it.
As they never truly knew each other personally, Xerxat harbored no honest ill will toward Skye. It was a killing blow struck in uncontrollable emotion; in grief and envy and bitter despair. The repercussions did not kill Xerxat. He thinks they ought to have.
Skye's killer. As they never knew each other personally, Skye harbored no honest ill will toward Xerxat.
If they had a chance to speak again, Skye would likely offer sympathies rather than anger; that's just the kind of person he is.
Xerxat's enemy, I guess.
As they don't know each other personally, Xerxat has no honest ill will towards her.
If anything, he's waiting for her to come and get him.
Asterisk's bitter enemy! She hates this guy! Her entire life's plan is about killing this man. Though, perhaps she's mostly chasing him because the second she stops she'll have to actually confront her trauma and grief--and, honestly, who wants to do that!?
The love of his life. To fall in love with her, to marry her, was to spit in the face of the board, the people, and the kingdom itself.
But it was worth it, to him.
The love of her life. She was delighted to love, and to be loved in return.
Although her life ended only a few years after they met, their time together was the best she ever knew.
