Amere looked over at Ras and shook her head.<span style="color: magenta">"stupid things? you dropping dead underneath me and being reduced to a fucking skeleton in two seconds isnt stupid, it was horrifying... nothing has ever had that effect on you before. sure, youve been killed, youve been maimed, but youve never... i didnt know you could be rendered so powerless... i thought that was it, you were gone for good this time. i depend on the fact that no matter what the hell happens you will fight like a monster and eventually come home to me. yesterday i faced the prospect of you never coming back and thats something i never considered after everything... and from what i can gather it very well could have happened if Rachel had managed to capture Shrivalla's soul like she did to the other one."</span>she shook her head and hit herself on the head a couple times, still shaking her head as she did it.<span style="color: magenta"> "you dont know what its like to face the idea that the person you love most in this world could suddenly be gone... ive lost my entire family, ive lost my best friend, you and Amber are all i have and i thought you were really dead this time."</span>she looked over at him again before blinking into his arms and pressed her face to his heart, her tiny body shaking against him.<span style="color: magenta">"faith? Ras... i have faith in your love, i have faith in Amber's love, i have faith in my own magic. but when everyone connected to the Loa suddenly dies, how could i not think they decided to do away with you and Ibara and give your powers to someone else? they got rid of Arlokk and The'kal and i think they only let Arlokk live to keep from having a fight with Elune. i know they work on a different level then her but if the Scourge can create something to kill gods she sure as hell can."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
