The'kal tensed as she was hugged and slowly pulled away from Ashia.<span style="color: olive">"I can't stay with you, I can't stay here... I just came to say goodbye. My people aren't going to leave me alone, three of them found where I was hiding, they're going to erase my memories if they catch me. They think my fear is unjustified and want it, want me to go away. I wish I could take you and Naza with me, but it wouldn't be fair to constantly run with you, to take you to planets where no sentient beings live. That's why I made Miriam, and not just her body, she's also a creation of mine... Nail, Spite, and Thrak? All hand crafted, people for you to be friends with and share your life with should something happen to me. I... I want to be here with you, with my daughter, even with Susan and the other mortals. I'm happy here, I've always been happy here, but they don't want to leave me alone. They think making my past disappear, their past disappear, things will be better."</span>She looked away and closed her eyes.<span style="color: olive">"I was a founding member of my people's government, I watched their power corrupt them, I watched all the horrors they committed and I called them out. What happened after is how Elune and I ended up hidden here on Azeroth. She wants me out of a picture I was never a part of to rebuild The Council under her control."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: blue">"Sahra doesn't want help, it's her own personal mission... I wonder if I'm interfering with it? She's never alone since I'm here. I'm nothing but an invader to Elune, she won't give me the time of day and I don't think Sahra will be able to convince her anymore than you could." </span>Standing up, Sahra gazed out over the horizon.<span style="color: blue">"The smoke is fading. They must have finally killed her. Or she killed her attackers. I may have to take a trip down here to find out."</span><br/><br/>Rayne jumped at the growl but slowly moved a bit closer to Ophidian before lowering her head.<span style="color: purple">"I want to apologize, for everything. From the mansion to waiting this long to see you again. I don't- I don't have any excuse for how I treated you back then, how I treated anyone. Some people said I was possessed, others said I was just cruel, I don't know what to believe or what happened, but I have no excuse for what happened and I'll never try to excuse myself or justify what happened. And, if it makes you feel any better Zelina abandoned me too. She got her High Elven body back and her attitude changed completely, I'm going move on with my life, with my children, without her but I wanted to apologize to you first. Even if she'll never visit you I wanted to, I wanted to let you know that I never forgot about you and how I treated you. And it's been eating at me every day. If you want to kill me for it, for all the pain and suffering I put you through then please do so if it'll bring you some peace, but please understand how sorry I am and how sorry I'll forever be."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
