The'kal was in Sharindia's face in a second, her eyes glowing bright.<span style="color: olive">"How about I shatter your will and make you act? Turn you into a mindless drone like Ophidian? Would that be better? Because hurting you would make me feel so much better."</span>"What's gotten into you?"<span style="color: olive">"Into me? What has gotten into me? I have tried everything to appeal to you mud-dwelling fucks. I've been the kind and loving goddess, I've been the cruel, heartless monster that claims the lives of innocents, I've tried to be balanced. But above all I cared, and I tried to help. Know what it got me? With all of my immense power?" </span>She glared back at Sharindia.<span style="color: olive">"Fuck all. Everyone's always hated me, either I didn't help them enough, or I helped one person and not the next, or I helped too much and something bad happened. I can't win! My power has never done anything but cause me and those around me grief but I have learned one thing. Hurting people and threats work. I'm done caring about all of you, I can't win, I can't be happy, I tried to help but I failed and it was thrown in my face. So yeah, I will threaten because I'm done caring, I just want to live with Ashia in peace and have a shred of happiness for once!"</span>She walked away from Sharindia and stared at the ceiling in silence for several moments while Ras looked at Sharindia.<span style="color: olive"> "And... and if I have to kill you, Ras, Whisperia and everyone else to get my few decades of peace. I will. I'm done, I'm broken, I'm tired of it all. I can't stand being hated anymore, the negativity... feeling so alone when I'm surrounded by people I care about. So deal with Karren and Whisperia or I will, and I promise I will be as extreme as I need to be. I'm going home... I told you what I needed to." </span>Ras bit his lip and looked at Sharindia again. "I- well, I don't know what to make of all that."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
