Dissembler (ePub)

While the other Zahrs of Hyrim focus on empowering themselves and furthering their dogmas, Pandora is thinking of bigger ambitions for herself. Ones that do not involve the Zahrs or Synod Council business in the slightest. Pandora truly detests Hyrim and wants to see it burn, preferably from within. Her reason to seek Hyrim's demise is not clear. If Pandora sought to conquer the planet and tear down the hierarchy that would explain her drive to destroy Hyrim, but she has no interest in planet or galactic domination whatsoever. She merely wishes to wipe away the very atmosphere that destroyed her innocence and hope in Humanity.

Illinca, Pandora's only and prized Neelif, personally believes Pandora's grudge against Hyrim goes back to how she came to be on Hyrim in the first place. Illinca cannot prove her theory, but what she does know for certain is that Pandora's beginning on Hyrim and her beginning on Hyrim are similar. Both women arrived on Hyrim for different reasons and experienced terrible endings to their stories. Thankfully Illinca could find the means to start over and let the past remain buried in the past. Pandora couldn't do that. Pandora remained stuck in the past and carried a heavy, bitter weight in her heart that was screaming for vengeance for her late parents and the other Aliens who accompanied them on their journey to the Metallix Galaxy.

The Aliens came in peace and wanted to establish good relations with the Maleehgoot, but the Maleehgoot reacted to their arrival in fear and ignorance and he murdered every Alien, expect Pandora. To this day Pandora does not know what stopped the Maleehgoot from slaying her or why he suddenly took compassion on her and gave her the title Zahr. Pandora accepted the position, but not for the reasons everyone watching her thought.
