<span style="color: #ff0080">"i am a Dryad, one of my primary functions is to maintain the natural order, mainly with animals. if an animal is acting wrongly, either because of a sickness or injury... for instance a bear killing deer after deer but barely eating any of it, just slaughtering for the sake of slaughtering, if i can't fix it i kill it. it hurts my heart but i do it to protect the deer and the other predators who eat the deer. Athena is intentionally damaging her body in a futile attempt to eliminate one of her basic, natural needs. her mutilations are an abomination to me. her madness is an abomination to me. and her rejection of help makes me sad but it also makes me angry and sick to my stomach. she isn't an animal, which is why i haven't tried to kill her but that doesn't mean i want her near my child or me."</span>she shook her head and looked back at Kitori.<span style="color: #ff0080">"no, Athena's armor ruined everything and she killed it. she chooses to hate her Uncle and the Demon because it gives her yet another excuse to run away from help."</span><br/><br/>Athena's attack had literally no effect, not even making a sound as it evaporated away. a moment later he appeared in front of her without even looking annoyed.<span style="color: #ff8000">"if you want to attack me drop the theatrics and do it right. focus your powers like i taught you and try to lance me, give it everything you've got and get it out of your system."</span>he wouldn't even raise a hand to defend himself as her attack would shatter on his hide since he possessed several thousand times her power level. when she gave up he shrugged.<span style="color: #ff8000">"now explain what your problem is."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
