As Zeriko was stood there like a stone in a shaking ocean. Seeing his own brother turning into ashes, he just cannot move. He hated Krahn for bring the 'Ape' but did not expect this to happen so fast. The tells of planning to overthrow the Tlatlanni, he just went plank. A lie told to the great Tlatlanni or the truth that Zeriko cannot see. That day, that shocking day. Zeriko keeps replaying over and over in his mind, as he just stood there.
As everyone leaves, the body on the stairs left without no trace of his brother. He must follow the crowd, an Kha' asked Zeriko but Zeriko was mad, do not want to talk. When everyone in Tavern, he sits quitely staring at his soup he was given.
He tries to eat, try to enjoy himself but he cannot. Lost mother, now brother. Whose next, his nephew, cousins? Zeriko must overcome this, for Metztli, for his pride.
