Karrie fought her way out of Rachel's grip and pushed her back.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Enough. No more threats. The only way to save Monia would be to do to a mortal what Zelina has done to Ophidian."</span><span style="color: #5900b3">"What?" </span>Karrie rubbed her temples and shook her head.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I would have to drive her soul shard through the body of a mortal and use their soul to renew hers. Yours is protected by Elune, so don't even try to play a hero for a demon." </span>Kitori scowled at Karrie then looked to Ophidian.<span style="color: #5900b3">"Surely we can do something for her? She doesn't deserve to die like this just because she's a demon." </span>Kitori looked at the shard in her hands then back to Karrie.<span style="color: #ff0000">"You would kill a mortal for a demon?"</span><span style="color: #5900b3">"I... but she's..."</span><span style="color: #ff0000">"Answer the question. Does that demon mean so much to you that you would take another's life to have her back?" </span>Kitori hesitated for a moment then nodded.<span style="color: #5900b3"> "Yes, I would cut down another to have her back. She made me feel... things I never knew I could, with her and Ophidian I felt whole and complete. She did things to me Ophidian couldn't, and he did things that she couldn't. I was truly content, and I loved having another to share our bed with... the sex was really good too." </span>Karrie rolled her eyes and looked back at Ophidian.<span style="color: #ff0000">"You may want to talk to her about that, but I'll have Monia back to you soon enough." </span><span style="color: #5900b3">"You will!? Do you promise?"</span><span style="color: #ff0000">"I'm a warlock, of course I promise. You just won't like what it takes to bring her back. And remember, all of the blood I spill to bring her back is on your hands." </span>Kitori looked down at her hands for a moment then nodded.<span style="color: #5900b3">"I've killed for less worthy people. What's one more?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
