Character of the Season
Frail in body but dangerously quick of mind, Nikandr is the sort of character who proves that curiosity can be just as perilous as any weapon. A necromancer, inventor, and problem-solver with more ambition than self-preservation, Niki approaches the world like a puzzle box begging to be opened, even when what’s inside has teeth. Blunt, dry-witted, fiercely independent, and carrying a history best left partially buried, he has a knack for making even failure feel fascinating. Whether he’s raising the dead, moving across Caido to King's End, or experiencing a hangover for the first time, Nikandr brings a wonderfully strange spark to Caido, and we can’t wait to see what trouble his brilliant mind wanders into next.
Congratulations, Niki!

He was too tired for overt acts of anger, but he felt the need to clench his fists and strike the wall and roar and grab Sam by the shoulders and shake and growl...but instead he simply continued to look over at him, eyes hardening slightly. "Monsters take them." Remi repeated, biting the inside of his lip as he turned his head to look at the ceiling.
It was hard not to frame it as Sam let Isla die. Not only was that not far—Sam couldn't be blamed for how he'd reacted, and Remi wouldn't fault him for not being 'brave' over trying to survive—and besides, Isla wasn't actually dead.
But Sam had left her body, knowing there would be monsters?
You and he are not the same, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Why would he think you would want my mangled corpse? You saw how I looked.
Remi sighed.
Isla's words had calmed him considerably, but hearing what Sam had to say was like a splash of cold water to his face. Both of them had done precisely the same thing ... and yet somehow Remi thought he had been more in the right. He really was just as stupid as Jigano claimed he was. Moving closer, his arm tightening around Sam's back, Remi shifted towards the ascended, gently placing his forehead against his. "No, you are right." He admitted after a moment, gently kissing his forehead with a sigh. Sam's words came filtering back in now that his anger was gone, how the bookmaker thought he really did love Remi. "There are many who say I am less brave and more stupid." He said, shifting to his side so he could wrap both arms around Sam. "And I did mean what I said before. You do not need to be anything other than what you are. But you are brave Sam. In your own way." He placed a kiss on his shoulder, lips just lingering there for a moment as Remi closed his eyes.
"But ... from now on, no more making decisions for the other person. Agreed?"
REMI
What have I become? My sweetest friend—Everyone I know goes away in the end
If I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself. I would find a way
