Jin'jara yelped and then smacked Nyaka on the chest with her tiny hand.<span style="color: #b35900">"you've not been soothing mine, you've been making them worse."</span><br/><br/>Sharindia shook her head, staring at Athena.<span style="color: #003366">"i spent most of my sixteen thousand years of life with no one to love, no one who loved me and with no family... i thought Vyre and Nyarien were dead. i let my anger, pain and desire for dominance turn me into a monster. i let my lust for power turn to an obsession that nearly killed me countless times, not the least of which was from malnutrition because eating was a distant afterthought. look at me now. i have Vyre back safe, i have a son, i have another child on the way, i have a mate and now two granddaughters. do you want to know why? i took that will, that burning, unending, unstoppable willpower that you, Vyre and i all share and i decided that i wanted better and that nothing, especially not me was going to stand in my way."</span>she leaned forward a little, her eyes practically boring holes into Athena's helmet.<span style="color: #003366">"use that unbreakable willpower to make your life what you want. Anna wants you, she told you so but you know you cannot stay with her if you fight with Vyre. so do not fight with Vyre no matter how she goads you. hell, ignoring her will work better then hitting her ever will anyway so you get to win twice without raising a hand. if she attacks you retreat, she looks like an asshole child, you look like a good, respectable adult and Anna will have to rise to the defense of her child, which she already showed you she will do and that Vyre will back off. instead of fighting with the Draenei make her your ally. she wants to save that family, you can help her just by holding Anna in your arms which is what you want to do anyway so once again you get to win without fighting. make friends with Ashia, she likes powerful women, she could use a drinking buddy and you two can bitch about Vyre together when she is being well, Vyre. your grandpa is there, he was all too happy to hold you last night and if your on Anna's side i do not see him having any problems with you if you stop acting like Vyre."</span>she leaned back and finally blinked.<span style="color: #003366"> "the only question you have to ask yourself is are you too weak to control your base instincts or are you strong enough to get what you want no matter what you have to do to get it. i had to bend the whole of time to my will and fuck it up the ass until it begged for mercy. all you have to do is endure one or two bullies and hug your mother."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
