Kitori frowned at mention of Elune's name but nodded as she let Ophidian read it.<span style="color: purple">"She doesn't get it. Perhaps she never will. I don't hate her. I have forgiven her but knowing Ras as long as I have I've picked up a few things he does. One of which is never let a grudge exist longer than it benefits you for. I will never forget what I've been through, the prayers that fell on deaf ears, or the torment of having my memories forced back onto me, but I forgive her. She meant well and that's enough for me."</span><br/><br/>Singe continued preparing the ring of ashes in silence, with little interest as to what he said. The mention of Ras' fetish snapped her attention to him in an instant but Gali kicked the man off his rock with a laugh before Singe could respond. The Wyrmkin shook her head and looked at her daughter.<span style="color: red"> "Gali, you've always wanted a tree house. Use this ugly rock and the soil it made to grow one." </span>The halfbreed was sitting on the spirit and looked over at her mother then jumped off him with a grin.<span style="color: purple"> "I can grow one here?" </span>She pushed against the rock a few times the set to channeling powerful druidic magic into the circle of ash surrounding the rock.<span style="color: red">"You know so much but understand so little. Being Ras' fantasy come true would be beyond anything that I could imagine, but that's not the life I am to live. I am a wyrmkin, nothing more and nothing less, no amount of magic will change who I am. Your rock being so stable will make a nice base for my daughter's tree, so I must thank you for telling me how durable it is."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: olive">"The group that exiled you didn't kill me for contacting you, they didn't kill me for telling you a little bit about who we are or exposing myself to you. They wouldn't have killed you, they don't care enough. Like the Loa, they're all bark and very little bite, they pride themselves on the fear they instill in our people."</span>The'kal shrugged and made a vague motion.<span style="color: olive">"We don't have to, I did my job, you and Ras are civil again. If I can't have you I can at least make sure that those who can make you as happy as possible. Probably because he's thinking that by going to you you'll get me to spare his miserable life. I'm the reason he's in pain, he sold me out to his masters and is the reason your mother, as shitty as she was, was torn apart beyond even my powers to save. Now I'm tearing him apart, piece by piece and as time goes on the pain will become maddening."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
