Prince Khemri's
character change impacted the theme of the story in such a way that it changes
where he went, who he met, and how he saw the universe. Because of how his
character developed throughout the story, he was able to meet a girl named Raine,
which changed his fate drastically.
Raine changed his life
tremendously because of how Prince Khemri began to fall in love with her, and
how there was a pirate fleet attacking her planet. As Prince Khemri began to
look into the Pirates attacking her home, they were not in fact pirates, but
the Imperial Fleet! Because of the situation, Prince Khemri ended up killing
himself defending the planet, along with saving Raine. "My eyes were
already shut. They had been the whole time. But I felt a darkness come as if I
had squeezed my eyelids tight, a spreading darkness that brought with it a biting
cold. I guessed I'd failed the test to become an adjuster. But I’d passed the
test for being human."(NIX 277). This quote enforces the fact that his
personality changes so much that he almost changes from thinking like a Prince
to thinking like a human.
Having the perks of
being a Prince meant he was soon reborn again with all his memories (a little
farfetched I know). He was soon called
to a banquet where 999 other Princes would be joining him at the capital of the
empire. As it turns out the Prince who lead the imperial fleet to battle
against Raines planet was there and was receiving a medal for her honor!
":Citation. On
212-4456 Prince Atalin 1 <<Identifier>> in
command of ISN Khouresk on
routine patrol was attacked
by an illegal squatter
fleet of twenty vessels in system
Odkhaz, and destroyed
the squatters without loss:"(NIX 286).
Prince Khemri, soon
after he received this message, was appalled by how Prince Atalin was awarded for
killing helpless people. So he goes and tries to make it right. Because of the
people he met, he started to become more of a human than a prince.
