<span style="color: olive">"Actually no, no power, no magic, just offered my blessing and this body. She wanted to have children that would be protected from the dangers of this world and nothing more. Again, it was an accident and I will fix it."</span>The'kal watched the door intently then moved over to stroke Ashia's cheek. Aside from several shattered scales and a large bruise from being hit with the broadside of his own axe, Ophidian would be just fine if not be a little irritable when he woke.<span style="color: olive"> "Actually she has nothing to do with this, I'm not even sure why she's here... or walking around as a Troll. I'll let you go talk to her or whatever, I really have no interest in dealing with her. I need to get to work rebuilding your body so I can fix this mess. Oh and no, I don't fight battles because I don't make them. I give them reasons to start, but I'm never the cause."</span>Ras only tightened his grip on Ashia and slammed her head into the floor when she tried to gore him. "Stop fighting or I'll break your damn horns off."<span style="color: olive">"Really Ras, you won't hurt her and you know it."</span>The'kal sat down in front of Ashia and shook her head.<span style="color: olive"> "He's a small minded brute, he swings his axe, he hits something, he beats his chest like an animal and goes off to fuck his Elf. I'm actually rather insulted you would think I'd let someone like him injure me. Your children aren't even in this world right now, they're in my realm where they're safe and out of the way. I'll be bringing them back once this has all blown over and it's safe to carry them in public."</span>Ras slowly released Ashia but when she stood up he hit her snout nearly hard enough to knock her back to the ground. "Now we're even for the shit you pulled. But I still owe you for helping bring Leena's killer to justice. So I wanted to give you this, I had planned on giving it to you when I was done making breakfast for my family." He placed an Orb of Deception in her claw and shrugged. "That would have let you help Vyre. Now I guess it's just a novelty toy." He looked down at The'kal then back to Ashia. "When you realize the mistake you're making by taking her as your mate feel free to come around my place any time, but until then, if I see you again I'm going to hurt you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more important business to attend to while I'm in this horrid city."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
