Kyle

## Kyle, The Angle. Kyle, The Weeping

On the night of her 18th birthday, the day she graduated and became a full fledged monk and a few days before Adriana left, Zia received her first vision– an angel with fierce glowing white eyes who looked at her intensely, saying nothing, then put a hand to her cheek and smiled. She immediately told Adriana, who took her to the Abbott who explained that her celestial ancestry meant that she had a higher purpose on this plane and this angel was to be her guide, giving her visions and telling her what she is meant to do. Zia wasn’t sure about all that– she knew the monks had told her she had some link to Amsar, but a higher purpose? An angel telling her what to do? It seemed like a lot, and why only show up now? And what was the angel trying to tell her? She resumed her studies and training as a monk, every few weeks getting the same dream vision of the angel, just staring at her, almost daring her to do something. She never addressed the angel, choosing to go about her life. Abbott Costello pushed her to try to speak to the angel, to interpret her dreams, which she promised to do but never did. He told her that she must understand her own truth in order to pursue truth in the world, she promised next time the angel showed up she would talk to him, then the angel shows up and she finally asks “are you going to say anything?” and he's like “are you going to listen?” and she's like “shut the fuck up”. The angel showed her visions of her leaving the monastery, a bright path of pure light before her, so she vowed to stay at the monastery just to stick it to this stupid angel.

Eventually, frustrated with the angel and the abbott and lowkey the monastery itself Zia decided to leave the monastery and go on a spiritual journey/ figure out what this angel wants from her/figure her shit out. She gets into an altercation with the crown's guard and from then on, Zia started to begrudgingly accept the angels visions and follow them, realizing she doesn't know a whole lot about the world and perhaps needs guidance. They were often cryptic and vague, few and far between, which still infuriates her but she learned to work with him. The two did not get along but she figured that since he was sent by Amsar, he must be cool, right?

## Asking Some Questions

Upon meeting the party Zia began to look inward and ask questions about her celestial lineage in way that she has never done before. Her first thought, and it was a deeply embarrassing one, was that Kyle could be her father. However things began to unravel as he began to get more and more insistent on Zia's involvement in the conflict with the squid. While in The Name of This Town is Secret Zia began distrust him, wondering why his mood had changed since the beginning of the prophesy, began to ask more and more questions. He eventually had to reveal his true form, that is of course a little worm that lives in Zia's head. The party beat the shit out of him and narrowly avoided turning him into a rat that would have still been in Zia's skull and definitely scratched up her brain. They put Kyle in a a little jar that Kort Dort used to store....stuff. This is where he remained until the Night of the Ninjas, when Max stole him from on board and used him to mind control Harlan.

While in control of Harlan he took Yabbie out on the roof of the the tavern in the Name of This Town is Secret to have a heart to heard, or more specifically, a knife to heart as he plunged a magic dagger into his own chest and completed the next stage of the prophecy. He also used this moment to break a squid statue that began terrorized the town. A battled ensued to save the town but Zia ran away to the time travel room to solved the problem in a different way.

## The New Time Line

Zia famously went back in time and killed Kyle while she and Astrid were in the time vault. This meant he was not in Zia's pocket when the ninjas attacked the ship so they did not have any reason to leave. They kept up their brutal attack and ended up using the dagger to brand Astrid. Astrid was not able turn into an axolotl so she had to cut off her arm with no hope of healing herself. This cause absolutely no relationship problems whatsoever.
