Talk:Syndra/Background/@comment-24613667-20150824110148

I still find it a bit curious that Zed and Syndra are friends because, in a way, Zed is like the Ionian elders; he wasn't skilled enough to be the best and either wasn't skilled or patient enough to understand how to be the best so he tried to harness a power that he didn't understand, just as the elders could be seen as jealous of Syndra's power because they couldn't understand it. They chose to suppress and control her power rather than observe and guide her.

So, the curiosity comes from what their interactions would have been, primarily how Zed may have phrased his experiences.

Zed: "My people tried to hold me back, kept my power secret."

Syndra: "Really? Mine too, so I killed them."

Zed: "Lol, same."

Syndra: "BFFs"

P.S. Yes, the eldars could have just been trying to do the right thing (limiting the power of a potential threat to everyone), but where's the fun in that? :p
