Ophidian smiled a little and pointed to the old town.<span style="color: green"> "Marcus said that we should be able to find someone to build Syrenka a crib in there."</span><br/><br/>Ibara flinched and nodded sadly.<span style="color: darkorange">"i know..."</span>her cheek crumbled at his touch and she sobbed softly simply because there wasnt enough left of her to do anything else.<span style="color: darkorange"> "i failed you...you shouldnt care anymore... you should hate me."</span>she shook her head, the 'flesh' of her neck breaking and vanishing.<span style="color: darkorange">"i was my fault, not Rachel's... i betrayed her trust."</span>her legs broke off and vanished as she was picked up but she hardly seemed aware of anything but his voice anymore. the holy power returned her body to its proper condition but it barely stemmed the damage to her soul.<span style="color: darkorange">"i dont deserve a second chance... i dont deserve forgivness or our child..."</span>she rested what was left of her head on his shoulder and shook her just the tiniest amount.<span style="color: darkorange">"i couldnt kill Rachel... shes too powerful for me... i... could get Heth'is freed... but if i attacked... she would kill me..."</span><br/><br/>Ibara's main priestesses were gathered outside the temple except for Rachel and the paladin looked back at Vyre, her normally blue eyes now blackened.<span style="color: yellow">"Ibara is dying, Ras is killing her soul. when its time to take revenge on those who destroyed her do you want to be involved? Nyaka has been found and will be brought here soon to be... properly punished and destroyed. she caused this but after that we will go after Ras and then the Loa, they betrayed our goddess. the dream that was this city will die with our leader, without her power the Horde and Alliance will eat this city alive and destroy everything we have worked to make."</span>her voice was cold and hard, the mage opening a portal and the warrior and warlock walked through it and there was a shattering sound above them, the glowing gem set in the highest spire of the temple nearly extinguished and was coming apart.<br/><br/>Rachel was sharpening her reforged runeblade, her eyes cold and hard as she did, the blade seeping a poison stronger then any other in the world utilising the power of the trapped loa and she grinned a little.<span style="color: blue"> "how does it feel to be bent to someone's will? Ibara told me how you treated her, forcing her to her knees... now i can force your face into the ground. she loved Bethekk, she loved Ras, she loved the child she carried. she was doing more then the Loa asked of her but you let Nyaka kill her."</span>she held the blade up and grinned at it before summoning the spirit of Hethis from inside it and forced the god prone on the ground.<span style="color: blue"> "send a message to the Loa, warn them to keep Ras away from me. i love Karrie but i will defend myself if Ras shows up."</span>her power compelled Heth'is to obey just as strongly as the power holding him on the ground before her, the things Karrie had demanded waiting for her in the house as she waited.<span style="color: blue"> "i just want to live my life peacefully with Karrie, if that is vowed by anyone who would threaten me i will release you. i know Ras is killing Ibara, i wont try to stop him. its a mercy for her now. but i wont have him or anyone else coming after me."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
