<span style="color: #9999ff">"You're mar-" </span>Erin let out a yelp that turned into a pained whine as she tripped over a rock and hit the ground hard, but Jim kept walking. "I told you it was on the other side of the cave, not inside it. I'm surprised to see the shipwrecks are still though. I figured they would have rotted away and collapsed by now. Especially the one in the back, I was here when it crashed. I wonder if the Naga used some kind of magic to preserve the wrecks to use as shelter..." Erin held her jaw as she slowly stood up but it was clearly broken and blue blood dripped from the corners of her mouth. "Bit your tongue off? Good, next time keep your mouth shut when you know you're going too far." With a flash of light the woman was healed and she coughed up a mouthful of blood which stained her robes. "I'm not the same person as the Jim from your timeline. Leave it at that."<br/><br/>Nyarien frowned as Leena explained but she didn't argue or object, instead she just held Leena tight.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I don't understand why my mother would do that but I am sorry for you and for Ibara... I am sorry you all have suffered so much because of her. None of what you say sounds like anything my mother do, not even to an enemy but I believe you. I believe that she did those things." </span>She slowly coiled around Leena and kissed her softly.<span style="color: #ff0000">"I would follow you. Your sisters would follow you. My mother... if she truly loved Ibara, she would follow you. Your birth means nothing, it's your life that matters. What if I offered to work with Ibara? I could help you see your dream fulfilled and... it could give me a way to distract myself when you inevitably pass."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
