"I tried to explain it to her, that it wasn't me, that I had nothing against her family. She wouldn't listen, she kept going on and on, saying things she shouldn't have. I wasn't going to tolerate it and was just going to kill Ashia and be done with the whole thing, she'll likely die of internal bleeding, there's few people in the city who can heal a wound like that." Ras shook his head and pushed Ophidian away. "He wants to see me at my worst so I'm going to show it to him, let the family see, if they want to turn their backs on me afterward let them. If they can't handle who I truly am then I never really needed them." He shook his head once more and looked back at his brother. "The cultists matter because they beileve in me, they have faith in me. If they die, their faith dies too, and without their faith I'll waste away... waste away even faster, that is. As far as I'm aware they're the ones keeping me alive at this point, I have no other followers or worshipers. I have a small cult of Humans, Elves, and Gnomes sacrificing civilians in Silvermoon to inflict horribly powerful curses on innocent people."<br/><br/>Arlokk shook his head and pointed to Azu.<span style="color: darkgreen">"They're just sticks, I think she may have gathered them as a souvenir or something. Anyways, I think our house should be a bit longer so we can have at least three bedrooms and a large den. Azu can build herself a nest if she needs, but I think our room will be more than enough for us three." </span>He set about arranging the sticks in a rough design with two rooms on one side of the house and another larger room on the far end.<span style="color: darkgreen">"How's this look?"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: red">"May I ask why you're so inclined on ruining his life instead of the person who started this whole thing? Given Ras' past I'm pretty sure most of them already know the kind of man he is." </span>Nalo rolled her eyes as the orbs fell lifeless around him.<span style="color: red">"I'm trying to help you out, I can't stop Ras from hunting you down, but I can at least help you find out what really happened. I'm Ras' friend, yes, but part of being a leader is knowing how to be neutral as well."</span>As he started ranting Nalo walked around the desk and backhanded him hard enough to knock him off his feet.<span style="color: red">"Listen to me, and listen well. Ras is not your enemy and neither am I. Someone either in this city or near it is trying to pit you against Ras, I have video and audio confessions of the people who cursed your family, do you want revenge or do you want to turn Ras into the worst thing this world's seen in a very long time? I'm giving you a chance to avenge your fallen kin. I wish things didn't have to go like this, I saw such good things in you too... so much promise in the way you saw the world."</span>She let out a heavy sigh and returned to her desk.<span style="color: red"> "Get Ras on stand-by, and keep the clean up crews handy."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
