“But that was over seven millenia ago!” goes the wail from one who is planning an even larger atrocity. Calliel is the bad-guy here and Ishara is keeping that firmly im mind.
Slamlander put it pretty well; Calliel’s hypocrisy seems well-seated in her personal blind spot. Not that immortals are unique in that regard, of course.
This sequence is a great way of showing how varied the immortals of your world are. Taken as a group, they really span the full human spectra of ethics, outlook and mental / emotional stability. Makes them more plausible.
“But that was over seven thousand years ago! Besides, it’s not like any of those faceless lesser beings I arranged the slaughter of actually /mattered/. Why are you holding this against me?”
Calliel’s way, waaaaay overdue for a thoroughly fatal comeuppance.

Like I said, I have always liked Ishara 🙂
Now that’s a grudge! I wonder if her personality is modeled on someone you know?
Yeah. Me.
