Zerah is an archfey and [[Aella]]s patron. She was at first mildly disappointed with Aellas disobedience, she was not yet done sculpting her new disciple. Zerah does not give Aella power all at once because this pact is not about obedience, it is about growth through choice. When they first met, Zerah tested if Aella would be interesting without magic, power too soon is boring and ruins the story. Then there was the test of loyalty, would Aella choose herself over a collective group. Aella might view Zerah as a friend but to Zerah, Aella is an investment.
