Ophidian looked at Muse for a moment.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i tortured her because she needed to be tortured. i tried caring for her she rejected it as violently as she could. i tried talking to her she lied to me. i tried reasoning with her she twisted my reasoning to suite the lies she told herself... the torture made her admit the truths that she had lied about for decades. the torture made her admit why she did what she did both to herself and to the people she loves. some part of me is Naga enough to enjoy it, i can neither control that fact nor will i lie to myself or anyone else and say it doesn't exist."</span>he looked at Karrie and then at Muse.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i hate that part of me and i always have. i hated that my Rayne was not content unless i was torturing her a little each day and that she loved being tortured. i hate that part of me will miss torturing her. and though i do care about this Karrie i know she will never be safe with me. she hates that i tortured her but part of her still thinks she deserves it and far more... my will is iron, it already rusted once in the company of a woman who thought she deserved to be tortured."</span>he took a deep breath to steady his voice which had been telling her almost as much as his words.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i told Ras the truth and no matter how much he hates what i did, no matter how much Karrie hates what i did they know it had to be done and even this one admits that she is better then she was when she was thrown onto my island by Order." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
