Order frowned a little before she leaned back.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "your still looking at this like a mortal... you think we are equals, but we arent."</span>she conjured an hour glass and tipped it and the sand started to pour down and then froze with just a tiny amount in the bottom.<span style="color: #ffff00">"this is actually a very simple but effective way to explain how we grow. this, right here is a baby Eternal."</span>she tapped the bottom globe with roughly twenty pieces of sand in it and then it started to flow but slowly.<span style="color: #ffff00">"every grain of sand represents a year of growth, and we all grow at the same pace forever. now, the Counsel was originally a hundred of the strongest Eternals in existance. there were maybe a dozen Eternals like The'kal and myself, equal to dozens of them at first but that gap does slowly close..."</span>she took a drink as the sand flowed.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "they whittled our people down until they were like a group of Karrens and Karries with Vyre on a leash ruling over a city of normal people. then they started turning on eachother, ganging up in groups of four or five to kill one another off but they were always careful to keep enough collective power among them to easily massacre any attempted rebellion. this continued for thousands of years, always killing the older Eternal civilians to keep them from growing powerful enough to threaten them but they kept killing eachother too."</span>she took another drink and sighed.<span style="color: #ffff00">"then there were only six of them left. just enough to keep me in line and they took to locking me in a black hole when they didnt need me. each of them was like a giant that could rampage as they liked over a unarmed Human villagers... but then the fatal error. one of them became afraid he would be the next one they would gang up on, they were nearing the point when it would only take five of them to contain me. he cut off all contact with the others and ran off to hide but Melody found him. she made a new song, one that roused our people from fear to a frothing rage and they attacked him. it was like the entire population of Stormwind attacking a giant with knives. he killed thousands of them but they finally carved him apart."</span>she finished her drink and filled it herself.<span style="color: #ffff00">"then, Melody made a giant leap of faith and brought what was left of her army to my prison and they released me. many spoke out against unleashing me but Melody knew that they kept me locked up for a reason. that moment when Melody told me the Counsel was only five and that almost the entirety of our species would stand behind me."</span>she smiled but it was one of pure, cold hatred.<span style="color: #ffff00">"then it was like five Ogres standing against a giant while every Gnome on Azeroth clawed at their heels. can you imagine such a battle? they screamed for the sixth to come back and help as they slaughtered the young and tried desperately to stop my attacks but they lost.. i carved them up one by one."</span>she looked at Elerona and sighed softly.<span style="color: #ffff00">"now you are the Ogre, The'kal and i are the giants and the rest of our people are like dwarves and Gnomes... children."</span>she toched the hourglass with a soft sigh.<span style="color: #ffff00">"they always wanted to rise up but the math was never in their favor before. there were attempts to start a rebellion but i was used to strike them down again and again... The'kal and i are second generation Eternals, the only survivors of the first Eternal war against your aunt, Corruptor. we were already like Ogres among Humans when the Counsel rose to power. by the time The'kal had fled i was as a giant among Humans and the Counsel kept it so."</span>she shrugged and shook her head.<span style="color: #ffff00"> "i told you why i didnt give him my name, it causes trouble. Ras and most of his family are monsters and if The'kal didnt love them i would purge them from this world. i dont care how well they are behaving now, that doesnt wash the innocent blood willingly shed from their hands."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ffff00">"The'kal has since gone insane and Elune is well on her way so i dont think i will be taking lessons."</span>she nodded and took a deep breath.<span style="color: #ffff00">"no more ultimatums. talk to me, scream at me, hell, hit me with your best offensive spells but dont threaten me. i will break both our hearts and leave because its the only way i could protect you from me... i want you, i need you... but there are dark thoughts in my head that you must be protected from at all costs."</span>she wrapped her arms around Delithia and squeezed her tight as she shook her head.<span style="color: #ffff00">"no, you havent. i looked through your memory and if you were guilty enough to set me off i would never have let you into my heart, in fact i would have killed you that night."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
