<span style="color: #003366">"Athena, you are a child and under the effects of this curse so you have two choices. you can either trust me because i have literally no reason to lie to you or you can be silent because i will not listen to you argue about things you know nothing about. you don't live here and we've known Order since before you came to this timeline so you couldn't possibly know enough to argue with me... damn it. there i go having to be right about everything. i love Ras very much but both Ashia and Order had legitimate reasons to be angry with him. Anna is very afraid of Ras and the curse turns that into unjust hatred but she can't help it anymore then you could. Order never does anything incorrectly, i think you mean to say she finally did the right thing."</span>she closed her eyes and sighed angrily.<span style="color: #003366">"sorry."</span>she stood up and held her belly as she made her way over to lay on her couch cradling her stomach.<span style="color: #003366">"Dragons were animals long, long ago, long before Elune came to Azeroth and made the Night Elves. so were Trolls and Tauren. at some point their minds woke up and they began speaking, writing, studying magic and the secrets of the world... the Dragons became people long before even i was born and the fact that Ashia is covered in scales does not mean she is less of a person then you are." </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #404040">"you drop it! i've lost too much to risk my children... if you want to wait out this fucking curse then Athena can wait it out at Ras' house or in a lake of molten lava."</span>Anna sighed softly and slowly looked at Vyre.<span style="color: #0080ff">"yes and no... i had planned to tell you somewhere where Athena couldn't hear us. Athena is haunting herself. her powers are reacting to her fears and making shadowy ghost things that are frightening her which i would guess only makes the haunting worse."</span>Ashia threw her hands in the air and let them fall.<span style="color: #404040">"well there you go. she's driving herself insane like The'kal did. you add that to the curse and she cannot be near our children. it's only a matter of time before she lashes out against her shadows and one of us gets hurt... you or i would survive it but what about Anna? Order made Anna's protection ring before Athena got here so we can't know it would protect her. say she blows Anna's head off, sure Order would fix it and the baby too but Order can't fix Athena losing her damned mind over killing Anna. if you want to protect her you leave her with Ras. we all know you trust him more then any of us anyway."</span>Anna sat up and rubbed her arms, looking down and away before she looked at Vyre.<span style="color: #0080ff">"until the curse fades or we can get Susan to help Athena... i... i think Ashia might be right."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ffff00">"i think you mean light and darkness, shadows are a pale byproduct of light and darkness interacting. either way us Eternals are just highly evolved mortals and reality does not need a new Chaos... reality doesn't need us to exist at all let alone require that we exist in balanced, matched pairs." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
