Phrike
CR 18 NE Outsider
This beautiful woman is short and lean, with dusky skin and red eyes. Instead of hair, she has a crown of horns, and she wears nothing but diaphanous shadow.
Our time in Caledon Forest was rather short, but not less eventful.
Shortly after heading into this area we found explosives, hidden underneath a tarp. There was also a familiar symbol at the crates.
Unlike the blue one with the dagger, this one both of us would recognize any time.
This belongs to Phrikes Gang of Maniacs - The Shard-Legion or whatever he calls it.
This got us thinking,... could the blue symbol possibly mean, that another legion is on the rising?
We already have enough trouble with Phrikes new Legion,... we don't need another one,...
We still got no feedback from our Tribune. Usually, at least what Atlas told me, he gets answer within hours. Now its 2 days since we send out the Letter,...
During our break we made the decision to head back to Black Citadel, thought Asura Portals in the Grove.
This whole thing don't sits right with us. Something is going on and its not good.
I also finally came clean about my condition. It got a little better, but it's only a matter of time till it catches up with me.
Atlas took it surprisingly well. I was expecting the usual comments or glances. But there was no judgement.
He even had words of praise for me - "You're a strong Charr, you know".
No one before said something like this to. No one, but my mother.
This,... I,... I didn't know how to respond. So I just smiled and gave him a little nod.
But I think he appreciated the fish I caught for our Dinner. It warmed him up, to tell me a little about himself and why he always gazes over the open water.
He was raised in a faraway outpost, near the ocean before they got forces back to the citadel. Some kind of ambush - but he can't remember if it was flame or humans.
Open Waters give him some kind of peace - it reminds him of a good time. Where everything was good.
I think he misses someone.
He gave me a small laugh when he caught me making this painting. It suits him. A far to rare sight on this stern charr.
I liked it.
But I guess none of us will have much to laugh in the next time.
We will soon head back to the Citadel.

OP Sidenote:
Little information about Phrike.
In my Story he is another obstacle my Commander has to face.
Phrike is a former Iron-Legion Charr and sees himself as the savior of the Charr race. Thats why he created the "Shard"-Legion to reunited Charr to a new glory.
He is an extremist and maniac - he may adore his kind, but in his view only the strongest are worth to survive.
There is no place for the weak.
All three Legions already attempted to kill him, but no one ever succeeded. That's why Phrike also loves to call himself "The Undying"
And here a look on the "Shard"-Legion Symbol
We don't talk about that I threw it together in 5min
So yeah, in my Story he is known within the Legion as a big pest.
Ash Legion in particular has a huge investigation going on to finally find and catch him.
Oh and the Idea with "Shard" was, something like - we collect the pieces and create something bigger and stronger out of it.
He is an engineer - thought this would fit.
Aaaad I did three more of this 100 Faces-Thing.
But these are the last one. And I have to say - I love to draw angry / feaky faces. Love Phrike here a lot.
I like to imagine that if Phrike was part of the RR universe (like, one of the gods and goddesses we as fans got to see) she'd probably really like Ethan Nakamura, Alabaster Torrington, and Nico.
Tbh, I'm pretty sure at least 2 of the 3 demigods I've mentioned above have interacted with her (with 1 having interacted with her MULTIPLE times).
Take a guess who those two are.
Oh yeah, Phrike is the Greek goddess of horror (not fear, we've met Ares' sons in HoO before).
This post is relevant to something I'm meant to be writing, but I didn't tell you that 🤡
quick ( and smoll ) references for Ether's siblings! all raised together and had a very busy education they all know the same things but have certain specialties (especially on mission). you can imagine a mix of Black Widows and Winter Soldiers
In Greek mythology, Phrike is the spirit of horror. Her name literally means "tremor, shivering", and has the same stem as the verb φρίττω (phrittō) "to tremble". The term "Phrike" (personified or not) is widely used in tragedy. Her Roman equivalent was Horror.
