<span style="color: darkorange">"Young one, this is what someone who is too old to be angry feels like. The famous orc bloodlust only burns as bright as the body will allow it. I was already using a staff to get around when I dragged your father by this hair out of a sentinel's bathing house. I am a very old orc, I don't have the energy to get angry anymore."</span>"Hey, I was invited to that bath house... and you dragged me from the far side of Ashenvale to this cave it was only fair I gave you a hard tim- ow!" The orc whacked Ras over the head with his staff and shook his head.<span style="color: darkorange">"My eyesight and strength are fading, not my memory." </span>He returned to his stop near the extinguished camp fire and sat with considerably more ease after being near Relene.<span style="color: darkorange">"So not only did Ras not get himself killed a dozen times over after leaving me, he grew up into a fine young man, and had himself a very special daughter. You'll have to bring your wife out here some time, I'm curious to meet the woman who managed to put up with you long enough to have a daughter."</span>The orc watched Relene heal the gazelle which got up and ran into the shade of the cave.<span style="color: darkorange"> "She doesn't have a herd, got chased from the other side of the cross roads to here by a young hunter so I've just been keeping her a pet of sorts. You remind me of someone I met long ago, I can't seem to place it though..." </span>Ras placed a hand on the orc's shoulder and looked out over the distance. "Her mother has a hatred of orcs, she lost her firstborn son to them shortly after they consumed the demon blood so it's not a for sure thing that you'll be able to tutor my daughter. I'd tutor her myself, but I think you're the best one suited for helping her focus her powers." The orc sighed quietly and motioned Relene over.<span style="color: darkorange"> "I suppose you're right, I can sense the wild magic in her and the spirits wish to help." </span>A gentle breeze flowed through Relene's hair for just a brief moment.<span style="color: darkorange"> "Shamanism isn't something normally picked up by Elves, but seeing as she's only half I think I may be able to work it into some kind of lesson for her. You should take her home for now, get her a proper tome, a staff, anything that can be used as a focus. There's nothing I can do for her today, and if her mother objects then I won't tutor her. I don't need her parents feuding while trying to teach her." </span>Ras nodded a bit and looked to Relene. "So what do you think?"<br/><br/>The'kal nodded as she listened to Amere. Soon shapes began to appear in the darkness followed by what looked to be the sun, eventually they were standing atop The'kal's temple with near perfect lighting from every angle and the gentle sounds of the beach off in the distance. Now in the light of the day The'kal was no longer glowing and again back as her usual Trollish form. The goddess looked at her tool then to Amere and let it dissipate with a nod.<span style="color: olive">"Perhaps you're right, I'm being too impersonal about something so dear to me. I cared so much about making it perfect for my only friend that I didn't think about making it... good for her." </span>She followed Amere's example and began to shape the body by hand. It wouldn't take long for the goddess to create a much more beautiful face with long silver hair to frame it perfectly.<span style="color: olive">"I think I understand what you mean." </span>As time passed the body only became more beautiful, the goddess even going as far as to add birthmarks to the inner left thigh and right shoulder.<span style="color: olive">"I want her loved ones, and Ras, to enjoy this body as much as she does. I don't want her to miss her old body, this one has to be better in every way... this one has to make her feel like she truly belongs on this world, with us, her family. I understand I hurt you and everyone else, with forcing Vyre into your lives and deceiving Ashia, but it will all be for the better. I promise you that much. Vyre's daughters will become forces of good, in this world. Their mother's martial skill, Ras' mastery of both light and dark magic, and their big sister Relene to guide them. Those three will bring the peace to this world with the help of Ibara, the new goddess of hope." </span>She took a step back from the body and it began to spin again, while not quite done it was already a considerable improvement.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
