Zendikar Rising: Red Route
Hikari Hellion for Akiri Line-Slinger
Akiri is a veteran line-slinger - like a mountain climber who swings from rope to thrown rope. She was a captain at the Battle of Sea Gate, helping fight off the Eldrazi monstrosities and save the world. Nowadays she works as a mercenary, taking on missions, especially to retrieve artifacts for scholars. Though she is scarred and battle-hardened, she has a zest for life and an eagerness to help rebuild Zendikar for future generations.
Akiri is a major character in the Zendikar Rising set of stories. There will be at least two scripts where she is present.
"That hypothesis would put you in vaunted company, Zareth. When you come back to the Gate, I can introduce you to some scholars who study the hedrons. They'll surely have some good books on the subject. Good resale value." [said sarcastically, like a joke]
"I found us work. Pays half now and half at the end. A caravan bound for Coralhelm, set to depart tomorrow."
"This is our world, all of its agonies and sickness. Fixing what has been done to her is our struggle, our charge, our place. We can't leave."
