<span style="color: #00b300">"unwise? maybe, but she made a promise when she disconnected Monia from Karrie and i am going to hold her to it."</span>he looked over and smiled.<span style="color: #00b300">"i do, and i love you too."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #b30059">"i understand."</span>she stared back at Ras stubbornly and shook her head.<span style="color: #b30059"> "you can forgive me. you can protect me from vengeance if that is your will. you can brand me with whatever symbols or powers you so desire... but you cannot order me to do the impossible and i cannot forgive myself so easily. i let jealousy and shame make me do everything i was raised to hate and i have to learn how to deal with that before i can even consider forgiving myself... i am sorry if this displeases you, but my first duty to my god is honesty, obedience is second."</span>she shuddered and then relaxed before she sighed and took a bite of her apple.<span style="color: #b30059">"yes, my lord."</span>she blushed a little and bit her lip.<span style="color: #b30059">"thank you."</span>Ophidian shook Ras' hand with a smile.<span style="color: #ff8000">"good. then let them rest, but are you sure it is wise to let your young son hang around Karrie's flock of Succubi? if he takes after you one day all too soon your going to have a mess of little demon grandbabies, probably all at once."</span>Shauna laughed with Ophidian at the joke before she kissed Saerwynn.<span style="color: #ffff00">"well this is one Succubus we wont have to worry about Kalian impregnating."</span>Ophidian watched the display and shook his head and then gently took Nyx's arm in one hand while the other traced up her arm, his power glowing as it passed over the Harpy's limb.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "it is doing tremendous internal damage... her nerves are fried, i would be surprised if she had any feeling at all in her arms. Eternal power doesn't need to be channeled with gestures or limbs, we do it instinctively because it helps us to channel things but the power works just as well with a thought. no, this is something else, something very strange, some kind of interference."</span>he moved behind Nyx, following her power up towards her head as he scanned Nyx's body to find the problem.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
