| {{Quote|Enough, deceiver! I've stomached your falsehoods and jests for long enough. I've given you opportunity to serve a higher, grander purpose, to escape the shackles of meaningless cycles and hollow words. I've given you an opportunity because I see your strength among your peers, even as a pariah and exile. Yet, still, you cling to your sharp tongue and insufferable wit! (...) If you will not serve my Witness, then you and your misbegotten kind will be made to serve. This. I. Decree.|Skira punishing [[Forum:Schaozuñe|Schaozuñe]]}}

| Coming across the forest world of [[Forum:Naruna|Naruna]], the Witness would task the Watcher with bringing the feline natives, the [[Forum:Gaodrea|Gaodrea]] into its fold as adherents of the Final Shape. For years, she would reach into the minds of the world's denizens and attempt to plant the seeds of the concept of the Final Shape into their minds to little success, as the psionically powerful creatures would steel their minds against a presumed demon. Although she would find trouble and frustration in her deeds, she would encounter an exile among them, Schaozuñe, who would promise to serve and obey her will, and even rally his faithful followers to her cause if she would aid him in a couple of perilous deeds. She would accept this bargain, finally finding purchase and would aid the traitor's ambitions.

| At first, she found these deeds an entertaining and necessary distraction from her frustrations in attempting to subvert the Gaodrea; first being hunts and assassinations against Gaodrean officials responsible for Schaozuñe's exile and gathering fragments of power for what was supposedly a weapon of power. Yet as time went on, she found her tasks becoming more and more perilous and exhaustive, from facing some of the most formidable fauna of the world and the sheer weather of the planet's greatest mountain. After nearly dying to the sheer winds of the mountain, she would finally confront her possible disciple only to learn of his ploy to use her as a means to exculpate himself for his past crimes and return as a king. In a fit of rage, she would seize the trickster by his throat and told him that he and his kind will be made to serve the Witness, possibly killed or brainwashed into servitude.

| Presumably succeeding in her deed, she would move on with her crusade against worlds, then encountering the [[Forum:Iphkari|Iphkari]]. Seeking to avoid her mistakes from the past, she would touch the minds of a few susceptible and powerful candidates across the world, promising power and station among the cosmos, covertly under the promise of the Final Shape. In a bloody spectacle and competition of war and violence, cities and continents among the Iphkari would be torn asunder by weapons of mass destruction and the monstrous deeds of warlords that sought the powers of her Final Shape; those that impressed the Watcher would be empowered by her psionic might via her bells, further encouraging a culture of death and destruction created by the conniving disciple. While many warlords and heroes would arise among their kind, only one caught her attention; a young, bold fledgling among a scattered tribe of peoples named [[Forum:Evaz'zhra|Evaz'zhra]].

| Communing with the young warrior, the watcher would task the young hunter with great deeds while promising power as a result; an arrangement the brash and young warrior would accept willingly. Gradually giving the hunter much more formidable deeds, eventually Evaz'zhra would become powerful enough to face the tyrants of the world, slaying the Despot King [[Forum:Erun'elkh|Erun'elkh]] and becoming a king among his peoples, guiding them towards his mentor's ideal perception of society as unwavering and uncompromising warriors of darkness. However, the Hive would come for the Iphkari in their indiscriminate crusade of death and destruction, besieging the Iphkari homeworld. Despite the Watcher and her apostle's actions, the world would be torn asunder by the magical might of the Hive and the Iphkari, save for Evaz'zhra, would be exterminated. Promising vengeance for his world and the power to achieve his vengeance, she would elevate Evaz'zhra to disciple-hood with the distant aid of Rhulk and joined her on her crusade. Although the actions of the Hive would create a disciple, Skira would hold a grudge against the Hive for the eradication of a possible army of darkness, and would haunt and even destroy the scattered fleets responsible for their destruction, even subjugating the errant prince of Ur, [[Forum:Az Zholgar, Prelate of Supremacy|Az Zholgar]].
