Nyaka snarled and reached for Sarevess again but a resounding thud left her face first and unconscious in the sand as Ras flexed his hand and muttered to himself. "Go for your swim my love, I'll wait for you. I'm sorry things had to happen like this, I wish I could have done more to stop Nyaka but she's out of my control when she's on the other side of the world... I think I broke my hand doing that..."<br/><br/>The spirit shook its head and returned to the thrones, but moved to the left chair and shimmered again.<span style="color: Red"> "Yer' askin' three different people 'bout the past of one Troll, expect three stories. You're more than welcome to do what you want wit' Nyaka, if we had a way ta' kill Mar'li Nyaka woulda already done it, until den all we can do is sigh 'cause she be the only one wit' da power to hold Mar'li. You should care, you're immortal, he's not, whoever replaces 'im will be your new partner. 'An I don't mean mate so dun' even pull dat' card on us." </span>He shook his head and sighed.<span style="color: Red">"Ras is doin' his parent's jobs, he be monitoring the spirits passin' on, answerin' da prayers of his people, and allowin' women to start families, all while tryin' to manage his own life and responsibilities. It not be that we can't make Ras work, it's dat we can't put any more work on 'im and don't feel like dealin' wit you. And Ras likes what he does, Arlokk liked what he did, Nyaka likes what she does, need I continue? We don't make nobody do nothing they don't enjoy, we give dem powers and responsibilities based on what dey are as a person. We're jus' given you da option, Ibara, Ras should matter though, especially wit' da trouble brewin' in your city and Nyaka's rage. She's scared of Ras, an' she scared of you, she hides it though, hides behind her ability to harm you an' Kitori."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
